    tick tick tick!!! S.O.B.

    Am wondering why the rod windowed the block??? Even non turbo rods are strong enough for the boost pressure you get up to.

    Oil leak from GP relay?

    Your solid state glow plug relay is failing. Time to replace. Napa or ebay will get you what you want. Ebay will be cheaper but make sure you purchase an oem part. That relay can be bad from the start because of cheap import parts.

    Guess the source of my Knock

    I recommend replacing the cam. Your more than half way to doing that already.Bout the ONLY way of knowing for sure if the cam lobe is damaged is to degree the cam. You need plenty of time and room to do that with the engine in the truck or as its called.. In frame. Check ebay for nos cams with...

    6.9 head studs

    Our idi blocks have the head bolt threads cut away down in the block about 3/4 inch. Doing this solves two problems. With a thread at the top one can apply so much torque to the threads they actually pull up and interfere with the clamping on the head. Secondly it sets the pull much lower along...

    Cylinder #1 Pressure Sensor

    All 7.3 injectors are raised out of the precups 60 thousands for better emissions compliance so... The injector lines are that much shorter. A so again using 6.9 hard lines on a 7.3 is not a perfect fit..But most c make them fit. 60 thousands is not much.san

    Cylinder #1 Pressure Sensor

    That is NOT a pressure sensor.It is the brass connector the Rotunda timing meters clamp on. Thos meters no longer are used. Most here use the kent moore j33300-a meters. they connect to the hard line on one or four injector line and one mag sensor to the crank. Thats it.As Mel suggested. to...

    Filled up with B99

    Ken I recall what you had with the mess in the electrical lift pump screen and the other issues. Today I learned something. Do not run B999 because it "goes bad" if left to sit too long. I drive less than 5000 miles per year on my rig these days... Damn sad too...

    Timing issue?

    Sorry your getting bad advice bout lining up marks for best timing. Those marks are only accurate on the factory pump that came on the engine. any pump after that will be many degrees of timing wrong. Your bet bet is to get a meter and time it yourself. Its not hard to do. many on this forum use...

    93 ford 7.3 n/a help needed

    Well you just wont be draining water from the fuel if the filter has no means to do it. Really no need where I live to drain water.Our fuel is clean and dry. Remember EVERY fuel pump at any service station has a set of filters on the delivery line so its cleaned before we pump it.How often they...

    Loud noise, black smoke, loss of power

    Sounds like the injection pump is going bad. How many miles are on it and the injectors? Also are you running any duel additive?

    93 ford 7.3 n/a help needed

    You may not know how this drain works.Try turning it all the way out. You DO NOT turn it in or up to seal the seat. Or purchase the filter with no bottom and be done with this issue.

    1985 6.9 IH bad sound from exhaust and intake.

    Never pay any attention to idle timing on any meter or timing light. You MUST rev to 2000 rpm to see correct timing. Please call Conestoga Diesel and ask why. This topic has come up more than any other timing issue. Also please fix your J33300 meter. the BEST EASIEST way to time is with the...

    TIming

    This forum is a wealth of information on the Kent Moore J33300 and J33300-A meters. They can be purchased new for around $600.00 or watch ebay. I have owned and sold more than 15 of them. Several members here have purchased my meters. I do rent them with all the special tools. My fee is $70.00...

    Sidewinder turbo kit

    No need to replace any exhaust manifolds on out trucks.Even the passenger side manifold is the same from vans to trucks but.. the van drivers side manifold is different.

    1985 6.9 IH bad sound from exhaust and intake.

    With that many miles on the engine my guess is an injector is failing causing the noise you hear.

    7.3 idi turbo knock

    Where did you purchase the pump and injectors from? Are the injectors rebuilt? Did you time the engine when you replaced these items? No amount of timing by ear or lining up the marks is timing your engine.

    Converting to cup style freeze plugs

    Justin is the person to contact. Don't think you can cut the hole saw on a lathe but a grinder sure will remove some material. I suspect he only removed the teeth offset but having never done this I'm only guessing.

    6.9 high idle not working

    The switch above is the one you want if yours is bad. Its in a tricky area but a long extension and socket can reach it. If you need to replace it no need to drain coolant. Just let engine cool down and leave the radiator cap on and remove the sender. Very little if any coolant will run out...

My money is spent at Conestoga Injection of Pa.Mel and the group there are world renowned for there pump builds. I'm on my second Mose pump and love every...

    First Road Trip in the IDI

    Timing is so important. Those lines have no meaning for timing. They were placed there when the engine was factory timed but...Now they are useless. Every pump gets rebuilt and timed differently. Call and ask Mel about this.. If you are capable of installing the injection pump you can also time...
