    Fumoto 1/2 - 20 source

    I changed the oil today - the 1/2" x 20 is the correct Fumoto for a '93 7.3 IDI.

    Fumoto 1/2 - 20 source

    I've changed the oil about 90 times in this vehicle - always try for 3,000 miles. I'm on the 2nd drain plug now and it feels loose when I finger tighten the plug (up & down play before I tighten with a wrench). I had an assortment of oil drain plug gaskets hanging on the wall; copper, aluminum...

    Fumoto 1/2 - 20 source

    That Fumoto website claims a '93 7.3 takes a M14 - 1.25 plug thread. I had thought the '93 7.3 IDI took a M24 - 2.0 plug thread. Now I'm confused. If it matters the plug that's in it now takes a 3/4" socket . AI says it takes a 15mm socket.

    Fumoto 1/2 - 20 source

    It appears that the proper size drain valve is out of stock - one EBay seller with a 92 positive rating does offer one - that's a red flag. Does anyone have a recent source? At this stage the drain plug is the only leak I have and I'd be just as happy with a quality standard drain plug with...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    LMC now offers a replacement dash pad in 4 colors. Made in China - the quality seems good but the grey color doesn't match the darker grey of the existing dash components. The replacement pad doesn't have the crack that annoyed my wife. Previously LMC's fix was a stick on cover. Overall I'm...

    Oil pressure. Should I be worried?

    It's any large canister type sensor - the guy in the YouTube video says a Power Stroke sender - a check online would be any of these: 57-66 F100, F250 6cyl w/ gauges, 69-72 F100, F250 6cyl w/ gauges from serial #D96,001, 65-66 F100, F250 V8 w/ warning lights, and 69-72 F100, F250 V8 w/ gauges...

    Oil pressure. Should I be worried?

    The oil pressure sensor is an on/off switch - the position of the gage needle means nothing other than that there is enough pressure to closed the sensor circuit. I replaced the factory sensor with an older Ford V-8 gas engine sensor (forgot the year and model but can look it up if you are...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Maaco did the body work and painted the truck in 2005 but I didn't have the cash then to have the Reading contractor's cap painted at the time. Over those 20 years since then the cap faded and some rust developed. Having a little more cash now I had the cap painted at a truck shop. Just got it...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    My '93 has had a Reading steel contractor's cap on it almost since new. The truck had major body work and repainting in 2005 at a local MAACO shop (long gone) at that time finances were very limited so I had the cap left alone and it's faded and dull now. Fast forward to September 2025. I stop...

    7.3 idi thumping in intake and exhaust

    Upon startup my '93 7.3 IDI occasionally makes angry thumping which it always comes out of after a few seconds. The first few times it happens can sound very bad. Mines been doing this for 20 years now.

    Stereo help please

    One thing that's gotten less expensive is a high quality car stereo. No more detachable face plates to prevent theft. Crutchfield is a very good source.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Took a 150 (+/-) ride today. One rear brake locks a little under hard braking. The new seat pad and upholstery (LMC) looks nice but has an odor that won't go away. Maybe the odor is from a leak (the truck sat outdoors for 3 weeks waiting for the seat to be redone - although there's no sign of a...

    I think I'll keep my 7.3 as long as I can!

    I missed that opportunity while the seat was out. The carpet is good enough and it will clean up - my next repair will be the cracked dash. Last time I checked LMC had the right color on back order.

    I think I'll keep my 7.3 as long as I can!

    Bought mine new in '93 and still keeping it pristine. Just had the seat redone.

    Column Shift Lever ‘92 E4OD

    I bought it from a local Ford truck dealership in the late 90's. Everything I see now (eBay) is pot metal.

    Pot metal tube was briefly improved by a steel shifting tube. I'm not selling mine.

    Passenger seat belt anchor to floor problem

    I picked up the truck today. The upholsterer rolled back the carpet and heated up the bolt, which he eventually did remove... after I cut the the seat belt. The seat is beautiful. Not by any means an exact duplicate of what Ford offered in 1993, but LMC delivered as close as possible. The...

    Passenger seat belt anchor to floor problem

    Thanks! A couple of questions... There's no wires in that half of the belt system to detect whether the belt is buckled? The bolt head is torx?

    Passenger seat belt anchor to floor problem

    1993 regular cab has been in the seat cover shop for 3 weeks. The owner does good work and can't find any good employees so there's a long wait... He starts removing the stock bench seat today and calls me telling me that the passenger seat belt anchor bolt can't be removed despite soaking it...
