    I have copper washers that go on top of the caps that the injection line presses down on. I have had no issues with my return line system other then an occasional weepy rubber line

    Road Trips

    It’s kinda weird, but I get 12.5 unloaded, and 11.5-12 towing. The worst mileage I got was 10.25, and that’s when I was hauling 22,000 pounds up several grades ranging 5-9%. I have 4:10, zf5, and 35 inch tires. Plus I’m running a turbo. It’s just interesting to me how little my mileage ever...

    Excessive Blowby/Crankcase pressure.

    I had a blowby issue a while back. It was creating enough pressure to blow my dipstick out about a half inch. I ran a quart and a half of Marvel’s mystery oil in my next oil change and ran the truck HARD for a couple hundred miles, and no more blowby since then. What can happen is oil Carmelized...

    Proper timing equipment?

    I think I’m going to rent one of Gary’s timing kit rentals for now until I find a deal on my own kit

    Will this Gunson adapter work for our 7.3s? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Gunson-77089-Diesel-Adaptor-For-Timing-Lights-/281589394900

    Proper timing equipment?

    That what I thought. I access to a light, so I think I just need to find an adapter somewhere

    Proper timing equipment?

    I found this old snap on mt480 on EBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/324044391104 I think it is complete with accessories, but I will have to check into that. I found a Ferret unit as well, but I don’t know if it is compatible...

    Proper timing equipment?

    Hey guys, I’m looking into getting my own equipment to time my 94 idit with, and I am wondering what the best and easiest to work with equipment there is for timing these engines. I’ve done a lot of research, and have been rewarded with confusion LOL What setup do you guys use and recommend getting?

    Towing ?

    I don’t have any experience with e4od trannys, but I think I remember @Thewespaul saying something about having to adjust the shift points in a e4od for towing when he was building Project Big Blue. Like I said, I am a manual guy so I don’t know anything about the automatics, so I might be...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Somehow I lost my oil filler cap yesterday, so I took an old spare that had its top busted off and made my own cap: I figured it was a good use of my old Wicked Wheel 2:joker:

    Truck won't start anymore, no fuel out of ip

    This sounds similar to what happened to me once. I just installed a new pump, and drove 20 miles. Suddenly the truck died and nothing I could do would start it after running some diagnostics, I figured out that the input shaft on the pump sheared. What happened was the bolts holding the pump to...

    Sudden Unexplained No-Start

    Hopefully some more people will chime in their ideas too

    Sudden Unexplained No-Start

    It could be cam misalignment. Like you said, I don’t see how that would happen though

    Towing ?

    I’m referring to Cummins and Cat other inline configuration diesels. The power band one’ll the Cummins I’ve driven only lasts till around 23-2500 rpm, and that is pushing decently hard with a loaded gooseneck. V configuration diesels wind up a lot higher and carry the wowed band a lot further...

    Sudden Unexplained No-Start

    When the pump was replaced, was the Timing gear cover removed with the pump? it sounds like your timing gear may be of a tooth or two

    Sudden Unexplained No-Start

    This might be a no brained question, but I know it happens to me. Is the Fuel shut off solenoid wire hooked to the ip?

    I live out of Markleeville. There’s some killer grades out here as you knowLOL

    Towing ?

    It’s not uncommon for me to run my engine to 3000-3100 when I’m pulling a grade in third gear. The beauty of the 7.3 is that it is a v8, so you safely can really wind it out compared to other diesels. Our engines don’t even hit peak horse power until 2800-3000 rpm, so as long as temperatures are...

    Towing ?

    I took some red paint and marked my Banks DynaFact pyro at 1050 degrees so it’s easy to check at a glance
