    Chasing a Fuel Leak

    Like they mentioned it could be your WFS but that should be pretty obvious to see since it is right there on top. Like mentioned it could be the rubber seal where the seperator screws on and seals to the bottom of the filter, and also three places at the bottom of it. The rubber plunger inside...

    fun time at wot!

    I wasn't meaning the WOT part, I know these trucks seem to love being at WOT, I was meaning more the bouncing off the rev limiter. But yes I try to baby this one, but I am on the hunt for some more that might not be so lucky LOL. I mostly use the 06 Dodge 3500 for the major towing jobs and for...

    fun time at wot!

    Dang man. Lucky it didn't do any damage. These trucks can take a lot but with my luck if I ever had that happen once, that'd be all it took.

    7.3 IDI Fuel Filter Reminder

    Alright guys here you go, cut it open. Like I said it was definitely bad and needed to be changed a long time ago but suprisingly it hadn't started to really break down or come apart like I thought it would have after that long. 25 years, ~48,000 miles.

    Manual Window Frame Support

    Ok finally got this figured out and was able to remove the support that I needed without having to take the window out thankfully. The glass was stuck in the glass channel really good since it has never been removed, and I don't have a glass channel removal tool. Figured I would change the...

    Manual Window Frame Support

    Thanks man I appreciate the support. I usually do just jump in there but I could have fixed it without pulling the whole thing out I was going to try to just to make it a ton easier. I will try and see what I can do here today.

    Manual Window Frame Support

    Simple if I have done it before or had the frame out of the truck, yes LOL. But there is basically no room to get to the window frame support how it is and I have never pulled it out of the door before. Does the whole window and frame have to be pulled out to remove that support section?

    Manual Window Frame Support

    Bump any ideas that will be a longterm fix without a ton of work? Maybe some time of super strong metal epoxy or bonding agent? Thanks

    Troubleshooting a Long Crank When Cold

    Does it take that long on a cold start even if it is warm outside? Try plugging it in and see if that changes things. You are going to need to test each glow plug seperately for operation or if some are burnt out. But of course if it takes that long on a warm day then obviously those...

    external alternator regulator

    Thanks for helping to clarify. I was just about to post I can go into more detail about what each does. Above was just a quick look at the picture diagram in my book but I assumed he only needed to know what wire color plugged in where. I don't know how much was already in place and ran or if he...

    installing rocker arms, quick Q

    My book on my 90 is showing 20 ft pounds and that is also what I saw in this thread by the man above himself in a quick search posted before. http://www.oilburners.net/forums/showthread.php?27294-IDI-torque-specifications Also listed as 20 ft lbs here...

    external alternator regulator

    This is mine on the 90. I don't know if the setup for the 92 bodystyle change is different or if the colors changed. I: Green/Green & Red Stripe = to 500 ohm resistor and indicator lamp. A: Yellow and Yellow & White Dot = Y to rfi capacitor, Y & WD goes in with wires from stater motor...

    7.3 IDI Fuel Filter Reminder

    Oh trust me it looked like crap. It wasn't scary looking or anything super bad but you could definitely tell it was long gone. It amazes me my truck ran as good as it did. The paper inside basically looked like soggy mush but suprisingly was still holding up. I was thinking about it but...

    Air filter options

    I wouldn't. It isn't going to make much of a difference if even at all. I also don't like the filters that you have to clean and re-oil as many times people can easily over oil them. I would just stick with a good quality dry filter like you have.

    7.3 IDI Fuel Filter Reminder

    Just a reminder guys to check your fuel filter from time to time, the water separator, etc. I just went through the worst time ever draining it, getting my bottom separator off, and getting my actual fuel filter off. I ended up having to stab the filter with a screw driver to finally get it off...

    Setup, So far free.

    They do make it, I know a few big brands of the top of my head including Amsoil. Not that you have to use their product, I just use a lot of their products so that one jumps in my head first but there are other companies as well. I think a lot of it is just "how far" you want to go into...

    Flapping v-belt

    :D I see where that could be a problem haha. But you are right, I dont know what I was thinking. I took a vid to show how my v belt moves all around. I assume it is that big bolt shown underneath the idler pulley in your original picture, which is the same that I point to last on my video? Or...

    Flapping v-belt

    Is this the bolt you mounted it too? If so does anyone know a specs on that bolt? I am gonna try and go to lowes and match it up since I don't have a huge stash lol but I don't know if they will have one matching it perfect.

    Manual Window Frame Support

    1990 Bricknose Manual Window Frame Support and Removal I had been noticing that when rolling down my driver's side manual window that when it got to the bottom it would start to bow the rubber support and window frame inward towards me and would cause the window to shift towards the rear of...

    Anyone Put A Turbo CDR Setup on an NA 7.3 IDI?

    LOL I am hoping when I get to that point, that I will just pull the motor, rebuild it, everything be spotless, and a million other things to where it won't be that bad compared to everything else ha.

    Anyone Put A Turbo CDR Setup on an NA 7.3 IDI?

    I know it is just really hard to view down into the back of the intake where the rubber meets the intake to make sure the O-ring isn't torn or leaking oil there, plus laying on top of the motor and reaching back there hurts like hell LOL. So if there was a half way easy way to change it I was...
