    engine swap in the rain!

    I just pulled my idi and zf5 together, boy that thing was hard to get out, it rubbed like everything. I actually pulled the chassis off the blocks with the bobcat and had to lift it back up to put it back on them. The e4od I pulled with one came right out

    throwing in the towel

    Want me to fly out there with my AE to fix it? Lol have you verified the pressure you are putting to it? Maybe you have a shitty gauge that's allowing you to over pressurize it and damage the gasket. Where is the coolant ending up? Or you mean that the pressure is just dropping? Because I'd...

    Clocking factory turbo

    I've had two idi turbos rebuilt, one from Conestoga one from R&D both required clocking. There are a few bolts, no band clamp. Just make sure you have a spare oring incase it tears if it's sat any length of time since rebuild

    Will my truck be ok pulling 8,000lbs

    My empty equipment trailer is 2400lbs. I still use the trailer brakes even when empty on a low setting. You need trailer brakes. I've had some heavy trailers push my trucks through intersections because of fading trailers brakes. And you can bet if you get into an accident they'll check your...

    Is this clutch/flywheel worth saving?

    I pulled the transmission from the supposed factory turbo IDI and i found the input splines to the clutchdisk seem loose. The flywheel and pressure plate also look like they have seen some heat. I never once had this clutch slip on me. I dont want to keep it around and include it with the...

    Serpentine belt tensioner

    Also belt squeaks can go away with a nice continental /Goodyear Gator back belt. I run them on everything. I've had water pumps pouring on them without a peep

    Serpentine belt tensioner

    I posted pictures here of the two different belt tensioner styles form 93 to 94 with the correct part numbers and the part numbers for the accessory brackets because they are different http://www.oilburners.net/forums/showthread.php?77252-The-joys-of-ordering-a-belt-tensioner-assembly

    OFFICIAL Red Head Steering Box Group Buy Thread

    I hammered mine off when i swapped it from my 2wd to my 4wd truck. Since it was newely attached it game right off with a couple hits to the pitman arm. Probably not too great for the gear box though.

    Low oil pressure

    That's weird. They sure went through alot of trouble. Every heat shield on the factory turbo kit was in place, not bent and had all clips. I got them back on when I replaced the turbo the first time but they were a little bent haha. Nothing looked like it had ever been off before to me...

    Low oil pressure

    Also to add to this thread with the oil pressure issues. I changed Conestoga rebuilt 093 factory turbo for a new R&D SX257 turbo and gained 10-12 oil pressure cruising 6 psi idling from what i assume was the tighter clearence of the new turbo's bearing.

    Low oil pressure

    It looks like yours ends in a C3 just like the block number, this engine ends in C1, just like the NA block number. I also have a set of 7.3L non turbo heads and their number in C3. Weird.

    Low oil pressure

    It's a 1993 vin c had correct harness valve covers too. When I get transmission off it I'm going to check flywheel for number and balancer to see if it's weighted

    Low oil pressure

    It had the factory smashed down pipe with all heat shields in place and all heat shields in place on the turbo, not bent every single clip and all heat shields on the factory up pipes. I wonder if they ever used 7.3l blocks in the early turbo trucks. I'm half tempted to pull a piston out and...

    Low oil pressure

    I wanted to update this since i got around to pulling my 1993 IDIT motor from my totaled truck. It had a bone stock factory turbo kit on it when i got the truck, when i replaced the turbo it appeared it had never been off to me, when i replaced the up pipes the bolts were defintiely stuck in the...

    Fall a time for tires...

    There was a sale recentely at tire rack, i purchased 265/5-16 BFG KO2s for around $165 each load range E. I had to run 2" wheel adapters in the back to keep the sidewalls from touching. BFG KO2s are great, before them i installed Duratracs on everything i had that was 4wd, even my wifes Touareg...

    Just installed turbo, Pre fill turbo with oil?

    I'd crank the engine over a few times with the oil feed line disconnected to flush out anything that was in the dead leg of the block that is now feeling the oil. I've always cranked truck over a few times with FSS disconnected when swapping s turbo. That last two times I syringed some oil in...

    Damnit....You may call me the torque master now....

    Russ would definitely know, I had a bad experience with mine. It wasn't doa it just had a dead spot every few dozen starts it'd take a few tries to engage. They did send me a replacement but I didn't trust it enough to install it.

    Damnit....You may call me the torque master now....

    I love Youtube. I watch all sorts of videos of people doing things and browse over the information as i would a manual. Then i come up with my own way to do it. Ive learned how to weld a nut to a broken exhaust stud to back it out, it works perfect never would have thought of that, i learned to...

    Damnit....You may call me the torque master now....

    Don't get a DB electrical, the "New" one i got from them had a dead spot in it. The New from NAPA worked well but didnt look any higher quality.
