    New 7.3 IDI Owner Here

    I am not sure I can be any help from having a fuzzy memory...but...I would look under the hood on the exteme left or right. If there are two (different colors but same configuration) it is possible that one is for the ABS and the other for the TCM. If it has never been accessed the connector...

    Finally gonna rebuild my ZF-5!

    I agree with this as long as the shims did not get beat up from a bad bearing... What I found is that...if you use good bearings...the dimension tolerances are spot-on...and...if (big if..) you are not replacing any other hard parts...(just bearings and seals...blocking rings don't count..)...

    Oil Leaking Down Filter

    This makes me think of Cheech Marin...I quote... "I never do nuthin' wrong...but, somehow...I get the blame....!!??" By the way... What happened to @hacked89 and @tbowker ...?? Did the former get crunched in a demo derby and did the latter get swept away by the hurricane..? and @Dirtleg...

    ZF5 Owners I need your help

    I don't trust the GPS and you prodded me to check my tire height and make a chart of RPM=MPH for my truck. I have a 29 inch tire and 4.10 gear. The tire height was figured from measuring the loaded radius (center of axle to pavement) and doubled. Center of axle to pavement =14.5 inches X 2 =...

    Is it a problem to have the positive and negative cables run side by side with no air gap?

    What I am going to say is silly...especially for this serious conversation... But...I got a vision from this quote that someone could take a truck and put some massive batteries in it and an equally massive starter motor and have an engine with so much turning resistance that...because the...

    High Current and Loose Wire

    Disconnect the batteries (how old are they..?) and charge them up to fully charged...They should be fairly stable and hover around 12.66 VDC...but...you will have a 'surface' charge right after charging...(more than 12.66 VDC) that you should not worry too much about...just turn on the...

    6.9 Glow Plug System problems

    I had forgotten about that aspect of the system...but I am glad you reminded me....they must have been rare, or, not failed very often because I only saw one in my transmission career... Neat little stopgap idea...wonder who came up with it...(the actual engineer) Was it possible that he was a...

    Reusing ARP head studs

    I have a used set for a 7.3. When I put them in the block I plan to use blue locktite. I was told many years ago by a guy that built circle track engines that it was not good to bottom studs in the block and stress the area near the deck that direction... When a torque plate is bolted on for...

    6.9 Glow Plug System problems

    I can see the thinking that would prompt this idea...but... One...you are going to be very busy trying to drive and work the transmission and drink a cup of coffee all at the same time...maybe if you used a coffee camelback that was rated for hot drinks... And Two...I would study the line...
