    OIL PAN MODIFICATION FOR COLD WEATHER STARTING

    I wouldn't bother with adding a oil heater. I would run a good 5w40 or I know in Canada you guys can get Shell 0w40 diesel oil and I also know Cat makes a 0w40 that's what we run in our cat skid steer year round here in Wisconsin. 0w40 or 15w40 both are 40wt at operating temptiture so I...

    another ZF5 roll over thread.... with excessive roll over noise.

    That noise is totally F'ed up... I've only ever heard rollover noise idling or just off idle in 1st or second gear in my smf 7.3 zf5 and the noise mine makes is more of a grunt noise from the torque pulses going though the driveline. The noise in the video to me sounds like a trans that has...

    Tow 12,600 with a 6.9 N/A ?

    Towing a 580 60 miles you will be perfectly fine I wouldn't sweat it one bit just take it slow and easy. The 6.9 shouldn't have any overheating issues unless your cooling system is in poor condition. It's not recommended to drive with the hood popped but when I drove my body home from Colorado...

    adjusting the vacuum modulator

    You first need to check your vacuum at the vacuum manifold then check all the vacuum lines. Next I only adjust the VRV on the IP the modulator shouldn't need adjusting they either work or they don't set from factory. Check the condition of the nipples on the VRV also and be very careful around...

    Mobile Delvac Rebates = Cheap Oil

    Charging issues 6.9 idi

    3G swap it and never look back. I'll never mess with a 1G ever again they have low output and very low output at idle and are not reliable

    Possible Stuck Open Intake Valve and No Apparent Local Expertise....

    What you see in the intake is probably just blowby from the CDR port. Josh's reply is a good start for what you should be doing

    Glow Plug Idea Question

    Search the forum for 60G glow plugs I made a thread on it. AC Delco 60G glow plugs for a GM 6.5 are a dual coil plug that is self limiting and will not burn out or swell. I hooked a 60G to a battery charger for over a hour and it glowed orange the whole deration and never swelled. They need...

    EBAY TURBO BUILD

    Your going to need some kind of gusset or brace on your up pipe adapter because that piping will crack holding the weigh of the turbo

    Buying 85 IDI ATS turbo motorhome!

    To me sounds like low pump pressure at idle. I would hook a pressure gauge to the port on the side see what pressure it makes hot at idle. Likely a leaking shift servo or a weak pump. I know how transmissions work but I'm not a expert. Also if you want to eliminate the vac as probable cause...

    Inline filters.

    Don't run a inline filter on a diesel. A diesel needs a filter head with a relatively large screw on filter for proper flow

    Anyone buy a "new" VRV on fleabay?

    Have you tried adjusting it and making sure all the vacuum lines are good? Is your vacuum pump pulling a good vacuum? They will shift late or not want to shift if you are lacking vacuum weather its the pump, a vac leak, or a miss adjusted vrv. I've always adjusted mine by feel if I need to...

    How Many Flats??

    Mine is a 7.3 studded with a Rajay turbo kit I max at 15psi my pump is turned up at least 4 flats. The only way I can break 1000 pyro is pulling my 9500lb camper up a hill its not scary I really gotta be pushing it to get to 1200 degrees and all I have to do is drop a gear and back out a bit...

    Driving a T19 - Is it Bad to Start in 2nd?

    Yah you'd be in need of a rebuild then which these are easy to rebuild if you have mechanical knowledge. But in the meantime if you want to shift to first while moving try not using the clutch just figure out by feel and sound and rpm where the throttle needs to be per mph for the shifter to...

    Driving a T19 - Is it Bad to Start in 2nd?

    Exactly the low gear is pointless unless offroad with a straight six. Both my c30 chevys with the SM465 trans which is also a cast iron 3 speed with a low gear the factory shift knob goes L 1 2 3 ford was stupid for using a 1 2 3 4 shift knob on the t18's

    Wood u buy a high mileage turbo 6.9?

    Go for it! Make sure its not exceeding 8psi of boost. Valve guides will probably be pretty worn at that millage. I'd buy it treat it nice and find a 7.3 engine to stud and go though as budget and time allows so the day it does croak or your ready to feed it more fuel and boost for more power...

    Driving a T19 - Is it Bad to Start in 2nd?

    Well you'll know right away first is really a non synchronized low gear and it has a very far throw into it like 4 inches probably at the end of the shifter and a t19 has a synchronized 1st with a short throw about the same as the rest of the gears. I also believe a 18 has 1 pto cover and a t19...

    Driving a T19 - Is it Bad to Start in 2nd?

    Are you positive somebody didn't swap in a t18 from a gas truck? A t18 will work behind a IDI using the t19 bell housing. I believe the t18 has a single pto port and the t19 has one on each side. I have a t19 from factory in my idi now its a zf5 but I always started in first and the only...

    DB2 Pump adjustment for turbo install

    Install a pyro then it all depends on how much power you want. I have a gm8 on my 85 6.2 studded. I run 12psi and a factory 93 db2 turbo pump. I would run it at 7 degrees of timing at 2000rpm and turn the pump up 3-4 flats watch the pyro and see how it feels

    D50 TTB out of 88 f250 in 89 f350 2wd

    All I'm going to say is I owned a 2wd f350 DRW that 2 owners before me pulled the 2wd front Ibeams and put in dana 50ttb beams. He used the trac bars that were on the 2wd I beams and welded them to the 4x4 ones and welded up a bunch of crap to mount the coil spring to it. I owned it for 5...

    Gear oil as fuel

    I've never ran gear oil in a idi but I do know that all the friction modifiers and additives in the gear oil doesn't burn right its not made to burn its made to handle extreme pressures and temperatures. I'm not saying your truck won't run on it but all the stuff in the gear oil that doesn't...

    Custom 60G glow plugs

    The controller does sense resistance. The 60G plugs take less amperage so the 7.3 controller does not glow the 60g plugs for more than like 2 seconds that's why I added a button override to my controller
