    Truck wont start when cold

    Possible. What are the glow plugs doing. How fast does it crank when cold? Have you tried plugging in the block heater if it has one?

    Best Source for Motorcraft Glow Plugs

    When I checked about 18 months ago the dealer was only $6.00 a plug more. Not really that big a difference for peace of mind.

    Delphi Return Line Kit From NAPA

    1802452C1 number used for the 400 series engine. If I remember correctly were 3/16. Still a good number but you might have to go to an ag dealer to get them.

    '84 international 6.9 IDI electrical issues

    As to the shut down system if you do not have the modules from the old system and did not get them with the new harness you have a couple of options. Find a truck that has them that you can rob or install a Murphy shut down system. You can do it with just a temp switch and oil switch or you can...

    1994 starter

    I do not recall what I used. I have both wobble extensions and swivel sockets. If I was guessing it was probably the wobble extensions, Maybe two. I do not recall it being that big of a deal at the time though. I may have used 1/4 inch drive as that does give you a little more room. I recall...

    1991 7.3 IDI will only start off solinoid

    Start checking voltage from the key switch out. Bad connection or broken wire in the start circuit is about all it could be.

    Noise/vibration at 1100 rpm

    To clear things up some is the truck moving when you notice this and is still there if you push in on the clutch or out it makes no difference, or are you sitting still and have this issue?

    I would find something with SCA add to it. You want something for a diesel engine.

    Intermittent Start but runs good when it does

    I am waiting for the report on what the new starter does for you.

    Intermittent Start but runs good when it does

    Well you will be pulling about 200 amps if you try to light them all at the same time. Take a pretty heavy jumper to do that. If you are trying it that way I would suggest just doing on at a time going through the harness. If it test good them remove from harness and connect another until you...

    Engine ground washer

    Star washer. They can be internal or external just depends where you want the teeth. I would look at the cable and block to see where the teeth marks are. Probable does not make much difference but I would go between block and cable.

    Intermittent Start but runs good when it does

    So do some measuring of voltages then. Start with the batteries. If you have been cranking a lot you would need to charge them up first. Anyway with fully charged batteries what is your voltage reading. Then turn on your lights and HVAC system for maybe a minute turn off and then let it sit for...

    Intermittent Start but runs good when it does

    Can I assume you have a volt meter and maybe a test light to work with for testing?

    Intermittent Start but runs good when it does

    So what is the temp in remote Alaska at this time? How fast is the starter cranking the engine? What is the battery voltage after you crank it for 15-20 seconds? Based on what you have said about the glow plug system, block heater, and hot air in the intake, along with the fact you say you have...

    1994 starter

    Do not recall what I used for tools when I installed mine, was no big deal what ever they were. Biggest issue I ran into was getting the battery cable to bolt up.

    DNE2 OverDrive Leaking Bad T19 Borg

    Checking transmission oil level will give you a pretty good idea if IDI is correct.

    1994 starter

    Look at the starter closely. Is there a spacer on the nose cone? If so remove the spacer and the starter should work. If no spacer than yes you will need a different starter. Sounds like you have one for a powerstroke.

    1994 starter

    As was said make sure you are in neutral then you should be able to jump from the battery cable terminal on the starter to the small terminal and it should work if your cables are good. Since you have verified that the starter works on the bench follow through testing it on the truck. All...

    7.3 idi injection problem

    If it was a high pressure line you would see it. A word of caution when working around a diesel fuel system especially if you are looking for leaks. Do not run you hands around the lines! It will inject diesel under you skin, you do not want to go there. Use a piece of cardboard or a mirror...
