    1993 8th digit M with turbo Canada made

    Confirmed, ‘93 IDI turbo trucks should be VIN C 1993 Ford F-250 https://www.ebay.com/itm/1993-Ford-F-250-/293789490145?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292 1FTHX26C9PKB*****

    1993 8th digit M with turbo Canada made

    If you’re switching an IDI to a PS the dash harness and engine bay harnesses have to be changed. Not necessarily the dash assembly itself but it will have to be pulled to swap the wiring harness as it’s routed through the back in away that it’s not feasible to extract it with the dash in place...

    1993 8th digit M with turbo Canada made

    If you have a complete donor of the same body style it’s a lot of work but can be done. Powerstroke Dash harness and engine bay harnesses are completely different than IDI and need to be used for each. Trying to go ‘99 or newer in yours is just that much bigger a project. Anything can be done...

    Fuel selector switch broken?

    I agree for probably 99% of the sellers on there. It’s definitely a buyer be aware. However Acurate Diesel, a fairly reputable website for performance and repair parts, is also using this description which baffles me. Maybe they aren’t as sharp as they should be either. But that part in the...

    Failed 26 year old original db2, what’s inside? What goes wrong?

    Can you show and tell about the torque screw and the leaf spring as well?

    Need help

    here’s website that will create a list of wrecking yards in your area that have transmissions that should fit your truck when you fill out the web form. Be sure to select that you want a “non-interchange” part and select the years of ‘88-‘93 and diesel to get the correct transmission...

    1993 8th digit M with turbo Canada made

    Looks like someone added the ATS 093 or factory turbo system to the truck. How about some wider shots so we can see the whole thing. That would help determine what you’ve got. Also scrub the block surface just to the drivers side and rear of the injector pump gear cover to get the engine serial...

    Failed 26 year old original db2, what’s inside? What goes wrong?

    That’s really cool info Wes, thanks for sharing. My question is how on earth does the advance piston create so much wear? It moves back and forth as much as what, maybe 1/2” all while bathed in fuel? I get that the hardened chrome on the advance piston is harder than the aluminum and the wear...

    Fuel selector switch broken?

    I don’t know why they are labeled for super duty. I don’t know of a single super duty that had dual tanks. The application notes show it for back to ‘87 and up to ‘97 which is correct. I think the ‘83-‘86 trucks had a different valve. The electrical connector and fuel line connectors are...

    Fuel selector switch broken?

    The FSV use to be an expensive or problematic item to replace either because the OEM part is so expensive or the generic replacement option requires cutting and mating of new a electrical plug and replumbing of the existing lines. That is all in the past now. The aftermarket is offering a...

    building a 1997 F350 cclb 7.3L 4x4

    Look at KC Turbo's S300 balanced assembly for your stock turbo and also their smaller A/R exhaust housing. The S300 balanced assembly comes with a rebuild kit and it makes the stock compressor perform about the best it can deliver. At a minimum get the smaller exhaust housing if you're going to...

    08 front end converstion

    If you're still considering it, find the guys that are updating excursions to the new front clips. Some are bandaiding it together but many are swapping the inner fender supports starting at the firewall. I've seen a few threads on it in various places.

    Ex Wife- my LONG term build

    I don't know about alcoas but a yard not far from where I am has a set of 4 eagle alloys in pretty decent condition. Obviously not this shiny anymore but this is what they are. At least one center cap is there, that's how I know they're eagle, but I don't remember if they all are. If you want to...

    88 f250 saved from savage nature

    Here’s the little voltage regulator on the back of the cluster. It makes contact through a the series of basically wiper contacts so removing it and cleaning those areas would probably help it quite a bit.

    88 f250 saved from savage nature

    A little note about the twin heavy yellow wires feeding the GPs. They pass through the main engine harness connector and are famous for over heating that connection and at a minimum melting or ruining that connector. I suggest that you at least disconnect and clean and lube the engine harness...

    Any new fuel sending unit suppliers?

    On the sending units I've had, the steel portions were good so I ordered a couple Herko FC53-D Fuel Level Senders off Ebay and was able to unsnap the old bad ones off the unit and the new ones snapped in place with no issues using my existing arms. The replacement rheostat works for both front...

    Hot Transmission

    I agree with the previous suggestions. Unfortunately in my experience, once the converter slips it's only a matter of time until it, at a minimum, has to be replaced. The converter and the pump are the heart of the trans, problems here get multiplied through out the rest of it. Caught early you...

    Project WA5MOE 91 F250 4x4 IDIT Build

    Looking good Wes, we're excited about how it's turning out. I've got a bunch of irons in the fire right now but I'll try to get some pics and history of what else we've done to the truck up here over the holidays. How on earth are we going to keep that pump and turbo that clean and shiny?? On...

    Howdy down in Houston

    Welcome aboard!! Good lookin' truck. Don't forget to put some details about it in your "sig" so that people who are answering questions know a bit about what you are working on. Looks like your truck may already be swapped to a D60 in the front? If so your already ahead on keeping the tires from...

    Engine seal kit with turbo?

    Russ @typ4 from www.RussRepair.com has the only turbo gasket kit I’m aware of. It’s got all the gaskets and seals needed to install the 093 turbo. I think it’s even got the CDR to valve cover rubber too but you should verify that with him.

    This question isn't exactly the same but since I started this thread I'll add another question I have. As a "Full Access Member" do I have the ability to add/upload files or pictures in a "conversation" with another member? I can see the button below to "upload a file" as a choice here in on...

    What is the resistance of the wavy shunt on the GPR controllers?

    Use Ohms law to double check this. I think more power (watts) are produced by increasing the voltage but I don't believe the current drawn by the plug will go up since the resistance remains the same or approximately so once the plug is heated up. Of course the resistance will be changing with...
