    Alignment Help.

    Bouncing is not usually an alignment issue. Are you saying it started after repairs were made at a repair shop? If so, it sounds as if it was something caused during the repairs.

    is this 1993 F350 7.3 IDI turbo a good deal?

    The underside of the hood looks perfectly normal. I've had several of these trucks the one currently driveable is a 1993 with supposed low miles and has no visible blowby with the oil cap off at idle. The truck in my avatar had very noticeable blowby with the oil cap off at idle and it is...

    is this 1993 F350 7.3 IDI turbo a good deal?

    It looks pretty good. That's a lot of miles even for an IDI. You sure want to check for blowby before purchase. If it's a rust free Texas truck that would be a plus.

    Bummer. Any other clues as to what could have caused the issue. You don't want to repeat that catastrophe.

    84’ 6.9 Intake Manifold Gasket

    I agree that reusing the gasket/pan is not a bad idea. I'm not big on the RTV for that particular application, I'm more apt to use Permatex # 2. It's just a matter of preference.

    Fuel Pump Woes

    Bingo. The beauty of these early diesel engines is their simplicity. Get them started and they need nothing but fuel and air to run. Except for the fuel cut solenoid, no electrical is needed.

    Fuel Pump Woes

    Why not get a Ford pump? Use aftermarket when nothing else is available. There is so much still available from Ford for these trucks. https://parts.lakelandford.com/p/Ford__/Mechanical-Fuel-Pump/51307587/E3TZ9350B.html

    Brand new glow plugs, still no start

    It sounds like the air cleaner housing is causing a short or open connection on the controller when it is installed. I would carefully look at what is happening when the cover is put on. On your model year truck the controller should be mounted on the passenger side valve cover.

    Sounds like my Wednesday that felt just like a Monday. I hope you got it all worked out.

    Idi to powerstroke

    I guess I should have worded that differently. I sold the Powerstroke truck and bought the IDI's. I would say either cluster would work. A few wiring changes might be needed. A wiring diagram, some solder, and heat shrink. It would be easy.

    Idi to powerstroke

    I went from a Powerstroke to an IDI. No regrets. Simpler is better. I pulled about 14k lbs this past weekend on a 2.5 hour run with no problems.

    Buying 85 IDI ATS turbo motorhome!

    All my simulators end up for sale on craigslist. I'm kind of a no bling guy.

    Help please

    Welcome I would check any fusible links under the hood in the battery/starter relay area. A schematic would come in handy as well.

    Leaking Head Gasket no pressure being applied.

    Bad deal about the leak. Unfortunately, a leak that obvious probably won't be remedied with a retorque of the heads. I would think whatever it is will become obvious once the head is pulled.

    Isspro r606 egt gauge install questions

    I just welded a bung in my exhaust pipe this morning. I chose the drivers side just below the flange to the manifold. The passenger side has a few more obstacles in the way. This is the third probe install I've done this way. I have heard the 1200 degrees as well. I did a little internet search...

    Any you signed up on Copart auto auctions?

    I've had an account at Copart for several years now, and bought around ten rigs. I never had a time I couldn't pick the car up myself. They have made it a little harder to do in person business since the Covid garbage, but I've still been able to pick up and haul my own rigs.

    Fuel is accumulating on the Valley Pan

    Spray away. It won't hurt anything. Several companies make a spray on leak powder that can help find difficult leaks, It is a white chalky spray. Clean everything up blow this suspect area dry and spray the leak powder on. Watch the powder to see where it gets wet first. I have a can made by...

    7.3 idi Turbo/ Non-Turbo Cylinder head difference?

    To the best of my knowledge, there is no difference in the actual head. In the back of my mind, there may be an exhaust valve difference (not in the size, but in the material it is made of). I believe there is some parts interchange info in the tech section.
