    Can you guys tell me about my new 6.9

    All of the sensor wiring along with the cold advance, the fuel shut off and the high idle are in the glow plug wiring harness. It's easy to see without that turbo stuff in the way. It looks to me like one of us has the wiring routed the wrong way around the thermostat housing. In this pic is...

    Brake problems

    Nik, I am guessing the extra force provided by the booster is allowing the bypass to happen when the truck is on. When it's off, the force he is providing with his leg isn't enough to make it happen. You're right. Checking the vacuum is an easy check. Josh brings up a very good point. Easy...

    Mixing G code injectors in an emergency

    I'm running mixed code injectors. Bought a set off a member that were said to be uhaul eBay injectors. One of them was not like the others. I've been meaning to order a set from a site sponsor....

    Brake problems

    I would del the rabs. I don't see how anything vacuum related could cause the sinking pedal described. Sinking pedal is either air in the lines or an external or internal leak. ABS modules and master cylinders can leak internally

    Lift pump pressure

    Sounds like you checked it all out. Only other test I might try is pulling from a clean container of fuel to eliminate any supply issues. Kind of hard to do while driving. I'm happy with my mechanical pump. If I was to go with an electric, I'd go with a bypass regulator and see what pump wes...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Took her to the dump then to pick n pull half price weekend. Not one bull nose tailgate or manual pedal set to be found. No IDIs either. I was hoping to find some IPs and injector cores. Did luck upon a pristine tailgate for the Jeep liberty. Only thing that would have been better was if the...

    Lift pump pressure

    The dirty side or the clean side? I'd replace the filter if you're on the dirty side and then think about a pump. Beauty of mechanical pumps is they pump more when the engine needs more, more or less

    Slow crank

    But it feels so manly. Yeah, I gots a 420ci clacker clacker under there with 4/0 cables. What's the VD on 2/0 cables?

    Turn up your ip with an endoscope

    You have to pull the transmission to turn up the IP? Seems like the long way around :D

    Are Bilstein shocks the best?

    Darn you oilburners! Spending my money again. I'm in the market for shocks and have been leaning towards Bilstein. Let me know if you find a better price than rock Auto. It looks like eshocks is no more. Edit:. That's a good price from Amazon. Thanks!

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    @Slicknik @laserjock You guys need to trade trucks and let us know if the vibration dampener is worth it.

    ""Need advice desperately!!!""

    My thought would be to use the threads in the head to unscrew the swollen plug. screw a left handed screw into the glow plug. Apply lubricant and gently screw it out. It would be tough to get a slide hammer on the rear cylinders.

    7.3 IDIT are suppose to leak

    LoL. Proper planning prevents piss poor performance. It's better as 6Ps. I'm not sure how it applies. I guess he should have read the thread.

    Voltage regulator?

    When you borrowed the DVM, did you run it side by side with your "bad" meter? You're introducing a lot of variables into this system. Your bad meter also compared to your dash gauge and you heard your batteries boiling. Which further suggests it was accurately reporting an over voltage. I'd...

    What are you all using to get that injection pump out??

    Crude and functional. Fits right in with my truck. Good job

    ""Need advice desperately!!!""

    @rwk cool solution! It would be sweet with a left handed bolt and tap. Maybe just a left handed nut on the left handed tap. A guy would want to me real careful not to break the tap though. I may have to put an order into McMaster for some screws just in case.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    @Slicknik that doesn't look like a borgeson. Where did you get it? What mods were needed?

    Injector blow by...

    What's an injector blowing? Tip leaking into the cylinder? Return cap leaking? If an injector needs replacing on a set with unknown service history, it's proper to replace all eight. You'll need a return line kit and olives for each of your hard line connections along with the injectors...

    What are you all using to get that injection pump out??

    A mapp torch and a little patience will get a wrench hot enough to bend. I did have to file it back to 9/16 after as I closed it a little while bending it. I bent the open end right by the head. I ground the combo side down really thin. Unfortunately, my studs must be a little long. I still...

    Tools and Spare Parts

    AAA card and a credit card. Big box of prophylactics because it might take a day to get parts. Just kidding I tow a dodge dually 12V wherever I go..... Just in case.

    ""Need advice desperately!!!""

    Timothy, Don't feel bad about the plugs. It's a poor design. Engineers used what's really a 6V glow plug and the 10 gauge wire to limit current to the plugs. I found some 12v plugs that fit and went with them. I should pull them and see how my experiment went If you can get a pair of needle...

    My arduino gauge project

    Ford sensors are crap. LoL. I'd hazard most oem sensors are similar. I had an infinity that I blew the head gasket on. One minute it was normal temp. Next it was pegged. Turns out it's also more of a switch. But to be clear, my statement is about the Ford To be fair, my issue is with the temp...

    Low mpg IDI

    That's true on the gear ratios. But I've never seen a truck putting bigger, heavier, wider tires on getting better mileage.

    Low mpg IDI

    I'm on stock tires. 235/85r16 tires. 31.7 inches. I don't have a locking torque converter or overdrive. I assume you have an E40D transmission. My pedal is on the floor to keep up with traffic on the freeway. You have a lot of front area to push through the wind. Maybe some other van owners...
