    Glow Plug Leak

    Lately I've been getting faint smells of fuel so I stopped to check things out today. I noticed a small puddle of diesel around the #4 cylinder glow plug. Strange thing was the #4 injector seems to be completely dry. So I started it and discovered I have a leak around my glow plug by seeing...

    Injector problems?

    I recently changed my injectors. 7 of the 8 where clean as a whistle (see first picture). However the injector from cylinder #4 (remaining pictures) has definite soot/carbon on it. The strange thing is I'm not sure it leaked past the copper O-ring, the pattern of carbon looks like it came...

    blakpete91 88 F-250 IDI Build thread

    I did the red head and borgesson shaft to my '93, tightest/best steering setup in an OBS I've ever driven. I would do it again in a heart beat. 1993 F350 Crew Cab Dually XLT 7.3 Factory IDIT w/Banks Sidewinder 5spd Manual

    Turbo Charging

    That sucks... Mine is in good shape so I haven't asked for anything major. I thought I read somewhere that the actual turbo core was not made by Banks and parts can be obtained from third parties... Not sure though, it's been a while since I researched it. 1993 F350 Crew Cab Dually XLT 7.3...

    Turbo Charging

    I've only had one interaction with Banks and it was positive. Needed the replacement grommet/seal for the oil drain line going into the valley pan. They shipped me two for free. 1993 F350 Crew Cab Dually XLT 7.3 Factory IDIT w/Banks Sidewinder 5spd Manual

    Turbo Charging

    FYI, it is a standard K&N filter, # 41506. You can get them on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Banks-41506-Air-Filter/dp/B000ECYHHG 1993 F350 Crew Cab Dually XLT 7.3 Factory IDIT w/Banks Sidewinder 5spd Manual

    '94 IDIT. Is it supposed to have dingers for key in ignition and lights on?

    Mine was ripped out before I got the truck. 1993 F350 Crew Cab Dually XLT 7.3 Factory IDIT w/Banks Sidewinder 5spd Manual

    N/V/H Poly vs Rubber bushings

    I completely replaced all the bushings in my front end with poly probably 5-6 years ago and have been very happy. Replaced the cab mounts with poly this year and have been happy so far. However I don't have a 4x4. 1993 F350 Crew Cab Dually XLT 7.3 Factory IDIT w/Banks Sidewinder 5spd Manual

    Fun with numbers :) (Oil Analysis)

    I only did TBN a few times (costs extra): 132,898 (5,463 mi on oil) -TBN 7.2 -Insolubles 0.4% (expected is <0.7) 161,462 (5,238 mi on oil) -This is when I had a big lead spike, Blackstone thought it might of been a particle streak, but thought the spine was high for that and suggested going...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    3 Wheelers... talk about a blast from the past. Had a 90cc Honda when I was a kid. Don't see them much anymore. Was told you can't legally sell them now, even private party because the are too 'dangerous'. Supposedly can only tear them down and sell parts. I may have been known to go up...

    Fun with numbers :) (Oil Analysis)

    I'm an engineer... so I like numbers :Thumbs Up. I have had my truck since 2004 and have put about 114,000 miles on it. With a few rare exceptions I have always had an oil analysis done at every oil change by Blackstone Labs. Since they give me all kinds of fun numbers I have tracked and...

    Hydroboost output shaft

    I can't find a Ford unit, every source I look up says "discontinued"... any idea where to find it? Looking for part number E8TZ-2005-B correct?

    Stock Brake Pedal behavior

    The RABS can be a real pain to bleed sometimes and may lead to a soft pedal. For some reason my 93 is very temperamental when it comes time to bleed the brake system, I usually have to do the whole system a few times to get all the air out. 1993 F350 Crew Cab Dually XLT 7.3 Factory IDIT...

    Vacuum Pump Oil?

    Actually... none [emoji15].. had a high pitch squeal coming from that area (combined with my bad hearing), convinced myself it was the bearing on the vacuum pump, 'cause it couldn't be the belt tensioner as I just replaced it a year ago. Well.... it was the damn tensioner, my factory original...

    Front timing cover plate question

    Vacuum Pump Oil?

    I removed the bolt on the back and it was filled with oil to the bolt hole, kind of like how full you would fill a differential (to the fill bolt)... Not sure if that is right or not.

    Vacuum Pump Oil?

    I just bought a new Delphi vacuum pump for my 7.3 IDIT. With it came a note stating 'Belt driven vacuum pumps require 10cc of 90wt hypoid gear lube. Top up as required. I've never heard of adding oil to the vacuum pump... did i miss something, should the pump be checked and topped off every...

    1993 F350 Regular Cab Project

    2nd this! The stock switch struggles with the load already. After replacing two switches I built a relay system for my headlights, they are now a little brighter and I've had no problem with the switch since. 1993 F350 Crew Cab Dually XLT 7.3 Factory IDIT w/Banks Sidewinder 5spd Manual

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Make double sure about that, around here if you get caught building without a permit they will forcibly condemn the entire property, bull doze it, and sue you for the demolition bill. 1993 F350 Crew Cab Dually XLT 7.3 Factory IDIT w/Banks Sidewinder 5spd Manual

    92 glow plug fuse?

    Mine quit overnight a week or so back. I was frustrated at first because almost all the parts are new since I recently rebuilt the entire GP system. I hunch I literally didconnected, cleaned and reconnected all the wires at the controller and it started working again. Everything looked fine...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Leaving it plugged in shouldn't be a problem... if your wire is in good shape. I know the insulation on mine is definitely not in great shape, it's ageing and cracking in places, I probably should get a new one soon. 1993 F350 Crew Cab Dually XLT 7.3 Factory IDIT w/Banks Sidewinder 5spd Manual

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Installed new IP (90cc db2) and injectors from Classic Diesel Designs (thanks Wes!). Truck definitely has more bottom end power and get up and go. Will be pulling a trailer this weekend so I'll get a chance to see how it will do towing. Question, any reason to go back and recheck timing after...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I didn't [emoji16]. I took a chance and sanded all the rust off, powder coated and baked it as an assembly; including the aluminum arm. Seems to be doing well. 1993 F350 Crew Cab Dually XLT 7.3 Factory IDIT w/Banks Sidewinder 5spd Manual

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Mine did the same thing. Sanded them down, then applied a "chrome" powder coat and baked them. Looks good and has held up for 5 years now.
