    7.3 tear down/rebuild (hydrolocked)

    When I rebuilt my 6.9 for same reason as yours, I dingle-ball honed the cylinders, since the wear was minimal, and used new pistons/rings, bearings and refurbished rods. No problems after that.

    Truck is surging, mostly at idle, what's up?

    Airtex was good for me, when I used mechanical pumps. You were probably sucking air from damaged diaphragm but electric didn't push hard enough for a good noticeable leak.

    Issues with starting

    Did you remove the pump gear when you replaced the pump?? Been there also.

    Truck is surging, mostly at idle, what's up?

    Is your electric pump pushing fuel TO the mechanical fuel pump? IF SO, you may have ruptured the diaphragm in the mechanical pump causing it to suck air. Check your oil level on the dipstick, wipe on a cloth not a paper towel & see if you can light with a match, etc Sounds to me that it is...

    Trust machine shop and buy new heads or hold out for a second opinion??

    I would have to have a tall enclosure with 2 post lift to remove box from frame. Can't be that many frame bolts. I reek EASY, no matter the cost, sometimes. Only if it is repetitive usage tho

    PowerStop brand brake reviews?

    Know this is late. I put them on my 2004 EB Expedition when I got it in January. Have been great for last 5k miles. I use the HP pads. Got mine from rockauto.com

    That is a nice truck. No pictures of under hood. Gearvendors with the C6 would be a plus.

    Hydrolock rebuild question

    Sounds like you have at least 1 bent rod according to movement. @ 190,000 miles, I would redo the 1 or 2 rods, piston (if damaged) rod bearings & those rings on the pistons after dingle ball honing those cylinders. Can get away with upper gasket sets. RTV on oil pan. Check front/rear crank...

    Tapping Noise

    When this happens, get a length of hose to put between valve cover & your good ear to see which side of engine the sound is originating. May be a rocker, lifter or exhaust leak that stops/lessens when engine heats up.

    Probably get 3/16" thick or better from mcmaster.com. I used to get different thickness washers in same bolt sizes for shop work.

    See if you can find a low mile 2003 7.3 Powerstroke. Best year for them. Have one in my neighborhood that is a Peach but not for sale yet. Wave at him everyday when he goes by. Hoping he will wash the dust off soon, shines like it is. Garage kept.

    The seat back is higher and more comfortable. May even find heated/cooled seats (if so, get both parts of the connector under the seat). EBAY will be high. Check car-parts.com or lkq.com for something in your area

    Probably newer Fords truck. You can check out some wrecked 2005+ Expeditions or Navigators at a Pick-n-Pull. Lots out there.

    1990 7.3 idi stalling under load

    Get a bottle of Hot Shot Diesel Extreme, fill fuel filter, pour remainder in both tanks. Crank and run for about 5 minutes and turn off. Let it set overnite and run it like you stole it the next morning. That stuff will burn the skin off your arm. Will clean out everything.
