    Dieseltiming explained?

    Ok, Thanks. I think now I need to go and buy a new timing light. Mine doesn't have the variable button.

    Dieseltiming explained?

    @ Franklin 2, they're cheap over there! @Clb, to whom you're writing? I don't know why those 20*? is that the point at which our engine needs to be injected?

    Dieseltiming explained?

    I'm thinking of buying one of these piëzo diesel timing adaptors, where you have the clamp which goes on the no:1 injector tube, and then has a little solid state box with a wire loop where to get the sensor of a stroboscope timing light. and so you can flash at the crank vibration damper to see...

    how much time before 7.3 is warm? outside temp now 10*C

    yep, about the wires, It was like this, but as you said, why do the both move the pointer???? you would think that one should light up the warning light, and the other move the pointer? I don't get that either.

    how much time before 7.3 is warm? outside temp now 10*C

    I don't think that it's possible to install them in opposite ports, they have a different size if I'm correct?

    how much time before 7.3 is warm? outside temp now 10*C

    I just checked this morning, I have both senders, the one installed in the drivers side head has a white wire connected to it, and the other, at the front in the engine block has a red wire connected to it. I tested both of them by putting the cables to Ground, I didn't see any lights come on. I...

    how much time before 7.3 is warm? outside temp now 10*C

    I did pull the cable from the (in your images) Temp Light Sender, and held that to ground, assuming that was the sender for the dash coolant temp gauge, and by doing so the pointer of my temp gauge went all the way up to hot. (this is a method for seeing if the gauge is still working.) So, Is...

    how much time before 7.3 is warm? outside temp now 10*C

    MF7Lakes, mmm, according to your images I took the idiot light cable off and kept that to ground??? Odd that that did move the pointer from my gauge???

    how much time before 7.3 is warm? outside temp now 10*C

    I had a 100Km round trip to the inspection two weeks ago, and it was fairly good weather, 20*C, and the gauge did only move to the beginning of the scale. The radiator you couldn't touch, so warm. Now with the cooled down engine I did get the electric cable off from the temp sender, and had the...

    Polymerisation lube oil

    It's not really "gummed" up, I know, last summer I really! had a lot of work with my 7.3, also because of the Bio component in our diesel these days, the fuel system of my truck was blocked due to this algea, diesel-pest, bacteria, whatever you like to call it. nasty!!!

    New insight in IDI burning WMO - need high compression or turbo

    I think what you see is the result of the synthetic oils, they are not leaving the same deposits as mineral oils. synthetic oils leave much more ash, and plastic or rock(gravel) like deposits due to the synthetic part of it. I've seen that before in a WMO fired garage heater. I hope you might...

    Brake lights, continue to not work?

    Hmmmm, something stupid has happened; this ride to the inspection station, was the first time since 5 or 6 years she was back on the road again, and I forgot more or less the way she behaves. On it's way to the station, there are some speed bumps in the road, and they were much steeper than I...

    Anyone hotshot trucking in an IDI?

    Ok, yes I see where that is going.... I don't know how they do that in the states, but here in europe they have on a lot of places weighing loops worked into the highway surfaces, all overwatched by cameras, and (here we mostly use vans instead of trucks) where they are used for commercial goals...

    Anyone hotshot trucking in an IDI?

    Brake lights, continue to not work?

    If the weather permits I'll have a look tomorrow.

    Brake lights, continue to not work?

    Yep, That's fair enough, Though I did mention that when I left all was OK. Only thing I checked was the fuse, which is not blown. Since this was a Wheeled Coach Ambulance conversion, I have amber indicators and red brakelights, that is taken care for at the brake light switch. a part of that is...

    Brake lights, continue to not work?

    I already touched this subject in another post, which (helas) I can't retrieve anymore. 7.3, E4OD and IIRC, it has to do something with the brake light switch and trans controller? (all stock) I can't find a blown fuse either. The inspector pointed it out to me that the brake lights didn't...

    How should this function? fuel filter head.

    Last summer I've been very busy with my fuel system, in order to get my truck running, cause: Bacteria or Algea. back then I noticed the brass piece by the green flash, I thought is was blocked, and didn't understood it's function at the time, I poked a rod through it to "deblock" it...

    Leaking Shower Head Return Line

    Seen your image It will be a hell of a job to clean that correctly before applying some reparation, be it to braze it with brass (preferred) or otherwise with chemicals. I have a hard time believing that that piece of pipe is still sound. I think that when you start to clean it, it will fall...

    Trailered home a 1989 F350 dump truck that looks great on the outside, but the 7.3 IDI is something else

    I would say that between very "knobbely" tires, snowchains and playing with tirepressure you could come a long way. and if you decide to go 4x4, never install a front locker, with one installed and activated you only can go straight forward, don't do that.

    interior screws, original or not? and where to get them?

    I can go there, but I will only find Renaults and Peugeots, and absolutely no Ford F-350's or whatever :-( I'm running a unicorn over here...

    interior screws, original or not? and where to get them?

    So, after all these years I'm busy getting the interior arranged, and being an Ambulance and have stood at a Mil.veh. dealer not every and all interior screws are present. So here's my question, try to find original screws and use those, or just go on with generic screws? If original, where to...
