    A list of questions while I'm into it this far

    Once you pull the heads, look at all four corners. Every 7.3 idi I have had apart has more ring ridge on cylinders 1,2,7,and 8. Alot more. Pulled my heads off of my 89 to do studs and new gaskets to find that those particular 4 werent any worse than cylinders 3,4,5, and 6. I did the 6.9 cooling...

    Name the cause of this smokeshow - 6.9IDI+T

    I too agree with the timing and "rebuilt/remanufactured" injectors calls. If you can find someone to time it I believe it would help greatly with the hard starts, egts, and the smoking. If you cant find someone with a meter I would advise turning your pump a dimes width to the passenger...

    Intermittent Weak Power

    Have you tried the old atf trick? Twist off the filter and dump it and re fill it with atf. Start it. Wait till the sound of the engine changes and kill it then. Wait till morning and start it and run it hard. Also running a hot shot fuel treatment sometimes clears things up as well. How old is...

    Having problems installing zf5

    I had the same issue a while back just to find out the alignment dowels from previous trans were still in the block. And one of the alignment dowels in the new transmission were still there as well. Was a simple mistake that costed me a day or so before my wife pointed it out to me.

Had 5 sets but have turned 2 of them in 3 months after I bought them as cores. Coulda found a better set outta my scrap pile. R&d, Russ repair, Classic...

    Knocking noise

    An injector knock can develop over time. If your worried about injector knock you can send your injectors in for a checkup or rebuild at classic diesel designs. But I would get the air intrusion fixed first in case thats your only issue.

    “The 6.9” project thread

    Lol. My 6.9 took several beatings a week at 10-12 psi on 4 hour trips just to grab and go with maybe 30 min to an hour of off time before heading back another 4 hrs. Thats with an empty 24 ft goose that weighs 4000 lbs going there and on the way back adding another 6k or so to the trailer. Did...

    6.9 low/no power

    That sucks. If you were closer I have a clutch just taking up room on my shelf. Its used but plenty of life left on it for my old t19 I used to run on my 85. I swapped up for a zf5 to claim a touch of the ever elusive fuel mileage. Even if it is just on the highway! Lol.

    Hopefully that is the answer to your issue.

    6.9 low/no power

    Oh and the throw out bearing itself may be a greaseable bearing. Some opted for it. Some Didnt. Im just hoping yours does. Also check the "fingers" on the pressure plate while your in there. Just refrain from having a buddy mash the clutch pedal while your fingers are in there. Im sure some of...
