    Lots of oil in my intake and intercooler tubes and intake tube.

    For your test the RDT just needs to vent to atmosphere. The point of putting it under the truck is to try to use veturi to help pull gases out, it isnt neccessary for it to just vent though. Did you look in your hose to make sure it wasn't clogged with something. No way 1" tube is not letting...

    Occasional hydro lock? Huh?

    Sounds exactly like what happend to me with cavitation, shortly thereafter got massive amount of oil coolant mix. Simplest thing to do is just send an oil sample to blackstone, they can easily tell you if it's fuel, coolant, or oil (unlikely unless head is cracked). We can all sit around and...

    rounded flare nut - GAH!

    well if my pictures would upload I'd show you, but don't look like rust, infact the threads look really clean, except have a red color. It's not an orange red rust color but looks just red to me. I suppose anything is possible though.

    rounded flare nut - GAH!

    Well I got the situation kinda sorted out. I ended up cutting the thing out and buying a new brake line that was pre-flared with fittings on it from autozone. I haven't gone out and put it in yet as it hasn't stopped raining in like 3 days now. But I took some pictures of it all but can't get...

    rounded flare nut - GAH!

    I've been fixing some misc. things on the van lately and one of things I wanted to replace was the flexible brake lines from the body to the calipers. They were starting to look a little old... On the drivers side there is two brake lines that come together at the flexible line fitting. I get...

    How to replace your mechanical fuel pump with a Facet Duralift electric fuel pump

    I would think the fuel in that little loop would end up getting very hot from just general engine heat and from being pumped constantly and will probably end up damaging the pump.

    Installing E pump.

    I'm working on my fuel pump this weekend finally and I'm rigging the electrical to a switch under the hood that allows me to have it set to manual control or automatic. That way i can easily turn the pump on and prime the fuel filter when under the hood and look for leaks if need be. I did...

    major engine trouble.

    Something else has to be going on here. A valve job won't destroy your rings, theres just no way if it was a proper valve job.. Are your oil sprayers working under the pistons? Are the pistons cracked from your ether spraying or overheating? Did your oil get some contaminate in it and take...

    How rare are IDI E350 passenger vans?

    I've actually never even seen another IDI van that I know of in person. I've probably seen one from a distance and just didn't know it was an IDI I'm sure... That last link there on autotrade for the 1992 van is only about 5-10 miles from my house. I'd say powerstroke vans are pretty rare...

    leak at the injector pump

    Guess I must have missed that discussion about 10,000 times. Thanks.

    leak at the injector pump

    Okay, so on the back of the pump you've got the 8 lines going out to the injectors and there is a line right in the middle that brings fuel into the pump. My line is leaking. A long time ago I discovered the leak and upon inspecting that line, it has a little gasket deal down in it unlike the...

    Van conversion

    Here are a few pictures from my engine job about 10 years ago now. My website domain expired and I don't have them up on my site anymore, not sure who all remembers these from the TDS days... It is indeed a tight fit.

    Totaly lost w/E4OD problem

    I bet they couldn't communicate with it before the rebuild too... ever just consider the fact the the computer could be shot? Not sure what would really go bad with it but if it won't communicate and all the wires are good, doesn't really seem like much more could be going on with it. Find the...

    Starting to stall at low idle - Injection pump?

    This happens alot to me when switching from bio back to regular diesel. Just pour a bottle of diesel kleen your tank when you're about 1/4" full on the tank. Then just run it, will clear the metering valve up. That's easier than messing with filling the filter and all that jazz. Unless you...

    7.3 diesel

    What's that about the odometer? The 92 should have the digital odometer. I'll read up to 399,999 but then just roll over back to 300,000 (from what I'm told, i'll know soon first hand in the van soon). If it says 94,275 that's how many miles it should really have unless someone was sneaky and...

    indoctrinated

    Have you considered using a manual glow plug switch? When trying to get fuel primed into everything while cranking the engine you don't want the plug to be firing up every time and running your bats down as happened to you. Usually when my fuel filter would be empty it would take about 15...

    indoctrinated

    I finally got my problems fixed after a year or two. Here is a list of where all my leaks were - Return lines - The hard line going from the fuel filter to the injection pump. The line wouldn't seat properly for some reason and was always loose, so I pulled it off and made a little homemade...

    Who runs Bilstien shocks?

    I got them on the van. They were like night and day going from the old Ranchos to these, they keep the wheels glued to the ground. Not sure what model I got but they had some heavy duty RV version for the van so I got those. Those things were so damn STIFF, it took me quite a while to figure...

    Timing Meter Rental Bad News

    You need tracking on it at least so you can see where it's at. You could give the person the option for the signature. If they don't want it required and then they claim the thing went missing after the tracking number says it was delivered, well screw em, they have to buy you a new one.
