    7.3 idit

    Check the oil and coolant, see how it cold starts, and runs smoothly, but otherwise they are a really solid truck

    7.3 pump in a 6.9

    I've always noticed with my 6.2s that when I go WOT then back off ever so slightly you find the sweet spot and actually get a little power boost. I turned up the cucv half a flat in my na 6.2 service truck when I put head gaskets and studs in

    7.3 pump in a 6.9

    Second timing adjustment was it timed properly when you replaced the pump? Is it just a slight haze of smoke?

    Can I replace my CDR valve with an oil catch can?

    Oil coolers are very easy just pull the power steering pump off with the bracket and they slide right out the front. It's a messy job but not really hard. Make sure your kit doesn't have the metal/rubber gasket they leak you want the paper gasket

    Block heater thought?????

    I'm not a fan of magnetic oil pan heaters. They put allot of heat into a small area and burn oil in the bottom of the oil pan and don't heat all the oil up that good. I live in Wisconsin where we see -35 in the winter and the best thing you can have is the factory style frost plug heater and a...

    88 f350 7.3 c6 to t19 swap

    First the 6.9 and 7.3 are balanced exactly the same only the 7.3IDI-T factory turbo is balanced differently. Next I just did this swap on a buddies truck c6 to t19 pretty straight forwards, Used the original cross member, Tcase, Tcase shifter, original driveshafts. We swapped the flywheel for...

    Can I replace my CDR valve with an oil catch can?

    I don't have any pictures but if your on the facebook IDI group search my name (Isaac Ristow) then type crankcase breather that should pull it up. I have a donaldson crankcase filter off a school bus with a T444e (7.3 powerstroke) that's plumbed into my RTD and it separates all the foggy fumes...

    Buying 85 IDI ATS turbo motorhome!

    The grease does not go all the way through the king pin. Grease the crap out of the top and bottom grease fitting until fresh grease is oozing out. FYI every tapered wheel bearing I've ever done from semi trucks to 4x4 front ends to boat trailers I tighten the nut down as far as I can with a...

    Cooling system flush

    Best thing to do is use cascade powder dishwasher soap, Caterpillar recommends it and used to even have a part number for it. flush it out with the hose then fill with cascade and water and go drive for 20 miles or so then drain it out hot but be careful. next allow the engine to cool before...

    Cetane Booster beneficial in a 7.3 idi?

    need a fan clutch

    I could go find a old one and make a video on what I did. Basiclly you just bend the spring around where the outer most ring hooks to the clutch to release some tension on the thermal coil spring

    Buying 85 IDI ATS turbo motorhome!

    Them onans are great gens! one thing that always kills them is the valve lash adjustment, the valves seat into the block and the lash becomes tight then they don't fully seal and the exhaust valves and pressed in iron seats get very hot and eventually the seat will drop out of the block. The...

    need a fan clutch

    I'm not sure I'd waste money on a other brand clutch, the hayden I bought from the local auto parts was $150 and it was junk. I bought my motorcraft on ebay for under $70. I'm to the point that if there's a motorcraft version available I'll go the route because motorcraft is fords brand and...

    Looking for information on AC line thread sizes

    few trucks were made with the wide radiator and factory ac mine being one build card also says so. I'm asking all the truck side line sizes its the same system as any other bullnose. I'd like to know evap liquid in threads, dryer gas out threads, compressor suction and discharge threads. I...

    Looking for information on AC line thread sizes

    I can not find A condenser for my 83 bullnose with the short wide radiator, so I'm going to put a universal one in and make my own lines with Eaton Aeroquip E-Z clip fittings. My question is I'm looking to know the thread sizes on the liquid port on the evap, the threads where the refrigerant...
