    First start after swap..Sealing water pump and bolts

    It’s for sure leaking right in the top of the pump. I took the 4 out and put a nice coating of rtv all over the bolt threads. Reinstalled and snugged all the bolts up.

    First start after swap..Sealing water pump and bolts

    Yep I’ll just snug up the bolts..I did a good job installing the seal and gasket. I really didn’t want to do this again. Also I think I found my injector issue. The rear drivers injector was loose and had a massive deformed copper washer installed and then I figured I should check the next...

    First start after swap..Sealing water pump and bolts

    Howdy, so I’ve just drained my coolant and pulled my radiator to have it resoldered. The pressure test didn’t find it I guess. Shop said it’ll be an hour or so. So anyways, my water pump needed the rtv bolts to be sealed and I thought I had a weeping leak on the top of the pump. I went to pull...

    Do you just build crazy stuff you think up and sell it? What sort of business is this? I don’t mean to ask like and as* hole just curious.

    Electrical smell and brake lights

    So I’ve been driving the truck around just a bit..my abs light and parking brake light is on. Everything seems hooked up and functional. Parking brake isn’t set.. But the other thing I’ve noticed is while I have there is a burning electrical smell coming from the hvac system. Could my fan just...

    Normal oil pressures

    Hey Brian, I’m further north than you and have a bunch of buddies way way north where I grew up. Most all run 15-40 as well. I’ve noticed a huge difference when I had PSD vehicles..but now that nothing I own is ran off injectors with high pressure oil..I didn’t notice a difference. It’s been...

    Hey Bart! (Smoke on startup.)

    Did you find time to work on it yet? I totally understand not having the time to get to a truck..but I’m going to replace my injectors and swap IP. But I’m getting tons of white smoke as well. It is cold but my old motor never did that

    Project Thread: 89 F250 Franken Truck

    That’s what I did..I bought the whole seal kit so it was reasonably priced. Also I used a straight edge and no press.

    6.0 exhaust turbine wheel for 7.3 idi?

    I thought it was the exhaust turbine that makes all the noise

    Project Thread: 89 F250 Franken Truck

    I know that when I did the main seals they were brittle..it would have poured oil out of those seals in no time at all. I’d hate to pull this motor again but I’ll learn the lesson. They didn’t take that much time considering I already had the water pump off. I’m just avoiding draining my...

    Project Thread: 89 F250 Franken Truck

    Why not do the front and rear main seals? The oil pan is east to get to..I changed all the gaskets on the exterior of the motor. It was so easy with the motor hanging from a chain. Now the motor is in and I have to reseal my water pump!

    650cca vs 850cca group 65 battery

    Maybe the multiple vehicles are the issue? I only speak from prior experience..even today I have two big diesel and two sprinters..I’ll tell you..it’s a lot of money to up keep them. Not worth it unless you have to have a truck. But again just my experience when I was younger and even today...

    650cca vs 850cca group 65 battery

    I know I always get 1000 cca batteries..and winter takes its toll. A full size truck isn’t the best thing to have if you have limited funds. From what I’ve seen it only makes the situation much worse. Perhaps snag a small truck or simple sedan until you have enough funds to not skimp on things...

    I know they don’t...I just figured I’d through it out there regarding overall health of the motor

    Jesus Freak's WMO IP thread

    Couldn’t you run a water injection system in conjunction with the WMO? It would steam clean the internals at WOT. I’ve always wanted a diy water/**** kit..ever since 16! Not sure why I haven’t done it yet.. Pretty sad state when the word **** is not allowed! I wrote the short hand of methanol...

    7.3 IDI Turbo Build for '87 Crew Cab Dually 4x4

    Boy I wish I did this before I swapped my motors. It’d really take the guessing “you sure this motor is good?” Out of my head. But then again..it was all to hard either. Good luck!
