    CLEAR COAT PEELING

    My 1999 dodge is the same...hood is all peeled off. Paint seems ok and when it rains the truck looks glossy. So a really light sanding clean it and spray it with clear coat? How about doing this outside? I live in the wood and this is a project truck not a mall hopper city rig. I'm ok with...

    1999 white haze

    So I bout a truck from a friend 1999 6 spd..fuel system has been replaced from tank to go pump and larger return lines..I’ve owned a lot of diesels and this is the first Cummins. I’ve noticed a little bit of a haze at idle..this goes on for awhile but eventually goes away..we’ve only driven this...

    7.3 IDI Turbo - Knocking - Rough Idle

    I have no idea when these were replaced before. I was hoping to take it on this summer when I was ready..not when the truck broke! Haha But yeah I have 256k on the truck and really no clue about the motor.

    7.3 IDI Turbo - Knocking - Rough Idle

    I’m going to be tearing into that and the thermostat..figured there both next to each other. I ran the truck for 15 minutes today..the coolant out of the ccv might have just been condensation as I’m not steaming through coolant like crazy..but there is a constant haze coming from the ccv. When...

    7.3 IDI Turbo - Knocking - Rough Idle

    I was going to buy a pressure. Gauge to test it today but the gauge set up is $35 and the fuel pump is $55. Figured maybe it could be failing

    7.3 IDI Turbo - Knocking - Rough Idle

    So I was doing a bit of digging...my lift pump looks pretty old and worn...there’s an oil leak around the pump. Would a failing lift pump cause this sort of problem I described at the begging of this post?

    Testing fuel pressure

    I need the fuel heater though..-25 is pretty cold

    Testing fuel pressure

    So just stick a tire pressure gauge on the filter housing while at idle? Sure going to be hard to read 3psi

    Testing fuel pressure

    I’m planning on testing my fuel pressure at the filter head. Temp test not permanent..so from what I’ve read, I take the core out of the valve and then slide a hose onto it with clamp..then hose to mechanical fuel gauge. Low pressure right? Like 6-10psi running?

    Passenger side coolant leak

    What about a leak From the thermostat area? I pressurized my tank and found two Leaks..one where the top radiator hose meets the rad..and then dripping coming from Behind the radiator.

    Rebuilding turbo

    So I was just curious if anyone else here has rebuilt their own turbo? I realize they should be balanced and tested but I’m just curious if anyone has done it at hole and ran the truck for years after? I had a 6.0 that had a leaking oil seal and I pulled it apart and replaced everything that...

    7.3 IDI Turbo - Knocking - Rough Idle

    The motor I found is a 1993 7.3 idi NA...the guy supposedly bought a government auction truck and pulled the motor for a Cummins swap. The engine/truck show 60k miles. Do you think that the gaskets and seals will be ok?

    Any injectors for sale? Do you think they might be good?

    7.3 IDI Turbo - Knocking - Rough Idle

    The reason I ask is because I’ve never swapped a motor before. I’ve watched so many knocking IDI videos it’s really hard to know what’s going on with mine when I compare the noises... a few guys thought it was an injector and then replaced the fuel system to find a knocking cylinder.

    7.3 IDI Turbo - Knocking - Rough Idle

    I recently found a non turbo motor with 60k miles on it. 7.3 new return lines and glow plugs.. asking price is $800. Given new injectors and injector install kit will run me around $500 and I’m still unsure if that’s the issue. Would it make sense to pick up this motor and just swap that in vs...

    My 2007 Ford F-250 Build Thread

    Interested in when you said the 6.0 is more reliable than you 7.3 idi. I’ve owned mine for three years and it’s just cranking with fuel and oil changes..glow plugs.. and now I need an injector..but are the 6.0l really more reliable than an old IDI?

    I’d probably look for a replacement axle...and then just rebuild the old one if you felt like it.

    Did you service this axle once in awhile? Fluids and make sure it’s filled?

    7.3 IDI Turbo - Knocking - Rough Idle

    Mine wasn’t nearly that bad last week. The truck was sitting for awhile while I drove my sprinters daily. I took the truck after a week or so of sitting. I started it up the night before and it for sure sounded a bit different but maybe I was just getting used to the sprinter diesel noise. The...
