This subject was interesting to me yesterday so I googled a 7.3 idi marine engine and ended up on a boat forum where they were talking about this subject and boat speed - sounded like the best option was to use a prop drive / gearbox that would change the output rpm to the prop as changing prop...
I don’t have the TSV wiring diagram handy but I would think a standard 12v / 5 pin relay could be used in place of the TSV for just the signal to the gauge.
If you want to spend the money IDIot on here makes a modified up pipe from your wye and uses a v band clamp in place of the slip joint - I have one, works well.
when I got my truck the drivers seat was trashed - same bench your describing that you have - I ended up shoving a bunch of foam in the cover to rebuild the side bolster, then put a layer of denim on top of the foam but under the original cover. I hand sewed up what I could then used fabric glue...
I’m up in NWI but have found - including the dealerships - that most don’t have anyone familiar with these engines any more. I was lucky to find one shop where they are willing to help me with the stuff I don’t have time to tackle myself, but generally it’s gone much better when I come armed...
When I installed my turbo I got a new wire harness for the GPs to controller, ran it separate from the original harness, then routed all the wires to the front of the engine. When I did it, I took the harness all the way off the engine then reran it along the drivers side intake manifold and...
Dregs garage - he has a profile on here and FB - I talked to him about a set a year ago, but decided to go with the bars from Justin. His looked exactly like the plastic ones - seeing these options, I think i prefer the larger / block-ier approach - i think i would be less worried about dropping...
I think I read on here the 91 down need the brake pedal modification to correct (for angle of the connecting rod I though) but the 92 up had the issue addressed by a part change - using the same pedal assembly between the F super duty and f series.
Seems like a lot of people on here have had bad experiences with rebuilt pumps and only really advocate for a select few companies to do the rebuild. I believe the ones I have read of most on here are Classic Diesel Designs and R&D IDI Performance. I know when my IP failed, I purchased a...
The other thing I’d mention - DTI has good customer service - it feels like a small company (not sure if they are) but they answer the phone and when you have a technical question it’s not hard to get someone on the phone who can answer your question. That was the real selling point to me.
with the tiny tach it comes with a light and mag pick up (if you want those options) however from what I have read and searched for it can be hard to find a timing light that’s stable at 2000 rpm - to go with the gunson device - when I was looking for one and I wasn’t hip on the dti price I...
I have had a FlowKooler water pump on a Jeep Cherokee for a few years now. Not sure how the IDI version works, but it worked well on the Cherokee where i had consistent temp issues (big winch directly in front of the radiator, slow speed crawling over rocks) - didnt solve all my issues under...
When I first got my truck I had a lot of issues with the glow plug system - turns out my fuseable links failed but only partially. They read continuity, but when the glow plug system was turned on it would only burn for 3-4 seconds before starting to click on and off. Turns out they wouldn’t...
Another thing worth considering - I was having the stalling when pushing the clutch in on my truck - turns out there’s a TSB on this subject and ford found the problem to be USLD can be “dryer” or something - basically buy and use the stanadyne fuel additives. If you look into it there’s been a...
Im not a mechanic by trade and most of my "knowledge" is what i have read and learned from others on this site, but it might be worth checking the timing.
