    7.3 powerstroke lift pump

    Sounds like a really nice set up. Can you post a couple pics? I have a functioning mechanical fuel pump, and I've gutted the heater and all the other options on my fuel bowl to get rid of all the past leaks, but eventually I'm guessing I'm going to go electric lift. Your set up sounds pretty...

    95 F350 Frame Swap to 96 F-Superduty.

    Usually you see a ride height control valve on something with air bag suspension (very popular on motorhomes for instance). It's interesting that it's on a Superduty F350 chassis, makes me wonder if that axle might have come out of something else but it sure looks like it was born there. Maybe...

    7.3 IDI Block Deck Flatness / Trueness Spec

    I agree that .003" sounds like a lot, especially when the cylinder head flatness spec is more like a third of that, but I think you have to think about the overall blueprinting of the engine. if you don't want to count your time, you could deck the block until it's way tighter than the spec...

    Russ Repair new owners?

    I believe William Deering is the guy who makes the aluminum IDI injector return caps. According to his interactions on Facebook, he seems pretty reasonable and IDI knowledgeable. Regarding inventory, all I can say is I delivered what I believe was the last big batch of cores from a storage...

    ok let us beat the mpg horse some

    What's the polite way to say I think your mileage calculation is suspect? I'm going to say I'm skeptical. My cab and a half ZFS was pretty similar to your set up, albeit with 4.10s and I'm sure that your 3.55s definitely help. I ran Portland to Seattle many times at 60 MPH in the right lane...

    Need advice on battery cable replacement kit

    So your positive and negative cables were around $160, plus the two negative mil-spec style terminals? That seems very reasonable for a completely new set: thanks for posting ;Sweet

    Need advice on battery cable replacement kit

    I've never replaced the battery cables, but keep in mind that a 1993 is an IDI. It's a 7.3 IDI in the "old body style/OBS" chassis, which started in 1992. Your truck is a 6.9 in the bullnose style chassis, but they could be a lot more similar than the Powerstroke listing, which really didn't...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I really like those dash lights. Question: does the dimmer feature still work with LED dashlights? I think we all need another pic zoomed out a bit to see that steering wheel.......

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    After a brief hiatus, I am going to try to get back into snowmobiling. I love the MidWest, but I do hate trailering in the winter, especially if you have nice stuff getting pelted with salt and debris on your trailer. This is particularly hazardous with a dually. I like the functionality of...

    Need an overdrive for my 1986 Ford 6.9 diesel

    If you ask nicely, there's an automatic trans expert on here who will give you the list of all best updates/upgrades/suppliers based on experience. I'm betting you've been on here long enough to figure out who that is, but if not I can point you towards him, or at least give you a hint until...

    1995 OBS Powerstroke need scanner that works.

    You may have already updated your UVCH, but if you haven't you should strongly consider updating to the newer single pigtail versions as they are much, much better. Lots of horror stories about lower quality brand new UVCHs causing innermittent drivability issues. It's a little bit of work to...

    Need an overdrive for my 1986 Ford 6.9 diesel

    +1 for lockup converter/E4OD over the GV. The E4OD is not the best automatic transmission ever made, but you can build one to take anything your IDI will throw at it.

    Fuel pressure question. Insufficient flow?

    I'll throw in .02 here: the selector valves seem to always fail due to the actual fuel valve malfunctioning. You can call it age, you can say they are typically contaminated with bits from the showerheads and/or anything that made it's way into your fuel tanks (perhaps algae helping you out)...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    The only proper way to work on a van is with the body off :joker: Seriously: 4x4 vans are awesome ;Sweet and I would consider the IDI 4x4 van the most awesomest :hail They are and held in high regard by fly fisherman who want to get into the backwoods and stand up in the back while they...

    Fuel pressure question. Insufficient flow?

    You know I never thought the electric fuel pump topic could get unearthed again, but this is a very good thread with some genuinely new information and hardware. Keep in mind that I haven't owned an IDI since just after Covid but I do have a fair amount of gasoline fuel system background. i...

    Radiator recommendations for a 1994 E-350 7.3L IDI V8 Diesel

    I don't know if this is an option or not as I'm not very familiar with vans, but on my old race car I upgraded to an aluminum radiator that had the same height and width, and had a very capable welded move the ports in the end cap to fit my car. It might not be that simple, but if you can find...

    Best serpentine belt.

    I've grenaded the shock tensioner and the closed style (one of each). When I grenaded the closed one, it was actually under warranty as I bought it from the dealer (many moons ago, I'm guessing 2008ish) so they gave me a new one. What they didn't give me was a new idler, which got damaged when...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Found out that a TRX400 quad and a PW80 dirtbike fit in the back of my dually, even with the camper top on. I have a two bike hitch carrier, and I have a trailer, but it's kind of nice not to use either of them :cool: By the way, if you've never used the tri-fold arcing ramp, way better than...

    Individual Solenoid replacement

    I do not believe you can replace the individual solenoids, but I believe this is the part where trackspeeder (the resident automatic transmission Ninja) will chime in with a legitimate answer from a genuine subject matter expert.

    Good brand of fuel return lines

    Russ spent a lot of time making sure he had the correct hose and orings in his kits. I believe they are still available via russrepair.com
