    I thought I saw that somewhere. It could be an option. I'll need to get this apart and really assess what I need. As of now, I haven't done the compression test I want to do. I spent the evening getting a little more working space for this probable project. Pretty bad when a guy has two lifts...

    True but the kit would have been a good option http://powerstrokediesel.com/docs/Diesel_Engine_Overhaul_Kit.pdf

    They quoted me about $2000.00 for parts I've got wholesale connections I can do better than that. I just liked the idea of a genuine Ford kit. My price would have been around $1000.00

    Rebuilding the turbo engine seems to be the direction I am heading. I checked with a friend at the Ford dealer about a factory rebuild kit but the IDIT kit is discontinued. I believe NA kits are still available.

    I've talked to the machine shop that I use for my shop about the costs of possible machine work. They seem to think that sleeving the two rear cylinders is a good idea because "those are the cylinders most prone to cavitation". Is anyone able to verify that?

    I pop tested the injectors a week ago because the truck seemed like it had a bad injector. The last injector passenger side (not sure how they are numbered) was sticking initially and then was all over the place as far as pressure 500-2000lbs. It is that cylinder I am concerned about. I put all...

    Yes, it is a factory "turbo engine" that is why I'm asking about the differences. Motor, engine, we know what I mean. LOL I've edited my post

    Engine Time

    Last Friday morning at 1:30 AM I pull into a gas station in Durant OK and the old truck (1993 F350 turbo) is obviously running on seven cylinders. I'm too close to my destination to turn around so I spend the weekend in the Dallas area. Driving home approximately 350 miles I use four quarts of...

    Purchasing a 7.3 IDI from relative, need advice ae!

    i If you think this truck is going to be a daily driver Monday morning after just a clutch replacement then no don't buy it. If your willing to do a lot of work in the next couple weeks to get it dependable then I'd say go for it. It's an old truck and it will be an adventure. If you have no...

    Life's an Adventure go for it. If nothing else it worth it in parts.

    Getting another one. Need 4X4 changeover advice

    The best match would be a 92-97 f350 diesel. That would be the closest to your truck. I plan to do the same conversion. My donor trucks are a 91 f350 and a 93 f250. Obviously, I don't follow my own advice

    7.3 idi F350 overheats while pulling

    Some things are such junk they should never be used for any reason Motorad is one of them.

    Alleged IDI Turbo with "C" as 8th digit in VIN??

    Looks like a nice truck.

    7.3 idi F350 overheats while pulling

    I'm no IDI expert but I don't think it should run hot under that kind of load. Maybe slow but not hot. Maybe some of the other guys will chime in.

    7.3 idi F350 overheats while pulling

    When she is starting to run warm that fan clutch is kicking in and doing the wind tunnel thing you described?

    It sounds like you have all the bases covered, but something is not right. Since the engine is a fresh rebuild It's safe to assume the water pump is new.

    7.3 idi F350 overheats while pulling

    The first questions I have based upon your post. Is the thermostat a Motorcraft unit? Is the fan shroud intact? What kind of shape is the fan clutch in?

    '93 F250 Rear Window Gasket

    I'm not sure I actually understand the question. You might look at the LMC truck parts site and see if you see anything helpful there. http://www.lmctruck.com/ford/

    Treated Rust- Would you buy this truck?

    Everything I see does not look too bad. My question would be why go that far and not finish? Did he see something bad and decide to make it someone else's problem or just get tired of the project?

    Bucket seats.

    Maybe a good upholstery shop could rebuild your bench to an acceptable level of comfort. I had my driver's factory bucket redone for around 150??

    Bucket seats.

    That may be a tuff one.

    Clutch problems?

    Sounds like I would be shopping for a clutch.

    I don't think I need any part bad enough to chase it. Other options are available.

    Battery light comes on when glow plugs engage

    I guess I misread the post. I was thinking the batteries were tested while still hooked together which they may have been. The best way to test an operating circuit is with a voltage drop. Very easy (google it for details) Anything more than .5 volt is an issue.
