Where to get an original starter rebuilt?
If you’re still in central Texas there’s a number of good small shops. A couple in Waco last time I was there, Austin has a couple on the east side if I remember correctly, Houston has a bunch in south Houston, College Station/Bryan has a good one, in fact that one used to sell a special built...- aggiediesel01

gauges died today
I have a set of ‘94 pdf manuals that cover both IDI and DI. You can download the EVTM and see if it’s the same as your ‘95. Might be close enough. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/10p8-zgMZIlwXpPflSoTzqviEuWwMARF7- aggiediesel01

idi parts compatibility with PSD
if your ‘92 has the serpentine belt setup then your 3g alternator should be the same except for the pulley, same with the vacuum pump (except maybe the hose nipple orientation. If both trans are auto, the ‘92 could be put in the ‘96 in a pinch but the internals are not as good. The instrument...- aggiediesel01

International Fuel Systems
If you can be without the truck for a week or so, I believe Wes of CDD has an inspection service where he can put your pump and injectors on his stand and make sure it's working correctly instead of just jumping in for a rebuild. Or there's likely a fuel injection shop somewhere near you that...- aggiediesel01

BILLOWING white smoke
If you’re confused about where your leak out the pan went, chalk it up to corrosion. The amount of time you’ve had this issue is more than enough for surface rust to set in, starting to block off the leak. Put it back together without fixing it and the heat, pressure, vibration will get you...- aggiediesel01

Will a GTP38R lower my towing EGTs?
That's a pricey unit. It's got a big following over the years but have you checked with KC Turbos to see their other more recent stuff as well? I'd give them a call or email with the info you've got above and see what they might recommend. I recently upgraded my stock unit to a smaller A/R...- aggiediesel01

7.3 powerstroke mechanical conversion

This does not look good
I too was going to suggest checking the vent line and or the actual axle vent. Down here, the rubber likes to dry out and crack and they frequently fall off but then the dirt daubers like to plug them up so it's easy to get moisture trapped inside. If the pinion turns nice and smooth with the...- aggiediesel01

Headlight / dimmer switch keeps popping fuse..
The correct place to power the Visor lights would be from the plug intended for the cab running lights. On '92-'97 OBS trucks it's a 2 pin plug behind the passenger side kick panel near where the Door harness plug connects. On '87-'91 it's behind the driver side kick panel maybe also behind the...- aggiediesel01

Crewcab Project
The solenoids on top of those injectors are not unique to the 75hp increase. The upgrade is the hard parts down inside the injector. There are some specifications and a process to follow but you could put the solenoids from your plow truck on the 75hp injectors. The thing to check on however...- aggiediesel01

BILLOWING white smoke
You mentioned earlier that you noticed black spots in the coolant bottle. Are you sure it was oil or could it have been soot? Soot is classic injector cups, oil is usually the cooler but you have addressed that already. If coolant is getting past the cups into the cylinder then it's down past...- aggiediesel01

Headlight / dimmer switch keeps popping fuse..
Do you have the Factory EVTM for the truck? That manual will show you all the splices and connectors and such that are supposed to be in the circuit from the factory. It also generally tells you where the harnesses route to figure out where the circuits may be found. If you don't have it, you...- aggiediesel01

093 turbo install help
The "clocking" of both the exhaust and compressor housings are most likely your issue. Get the threads fixed and then set it into place on the drain pedestal with the housings just snug so you can tap them to rotate with a block of wood to make everything lines up. Then lift it up again enough...- aggiediesel01

F350 steering box upgrade
What I remember is that it will bolt to your frame but you have to drill out the holes larger and the input shaft is splined the same, but the pitman arm may have to be reamed for the D-60 rod end or have a conversion busing installed and the fittings on the box are metric so you have to convert...- aggiediesel01

Buying 85 IDI ATS turbo motorhome!
Have you considered putting the engine and trans from the motor home into the truck? Seems like over the past couple years you've put most of your money and effort into the RV and it's powertrain.

Transmission loosing fluid
You've '89 7.3 but is it in a truck, van, bus/motorhome? In '89 I believe the vans and busses/motorhomes still had the c-6 and I think it was still an option for trucks too.

Worried about my 7.3 IDIT's health
I think going for a rebuild right before going on a trip is a recipe for bad stuff to happen. It sounds like all the other IDIs I'm familiar with, I too have heard those faint ticks and hollow knocks and I think they all have them in some form or fashion. I think you're on the right track, get...- aggiediesel01

To be honest I don't know what it might be called. It's unlikely that you will find it by it's technical name after all these years unless it was a ford serviceable part by itself. Maybe one of the old timers here has an idea but not me. The best place to start is a local wrecking yard. Often...- aggiediesel01

Pretty sure the next easiest thing to check would be injector cups. Pull the valve covers and pressurize again and see if coolant is coming up past the injectors orings. If it’s not obvious there, then pull the injectors one at a time until you find a steam cleaned nozzle and see if you can hear...- aggiediesel01

As far as I know, all crankshafts are the same for the 7.3 IDI. The turbo version balancing comes from the harmonic balancer and the flywheel/flexplates are different from N/A too.- aggiediesel01
