    So What Did You Do With Your PSD Today?

    After I got it home, I took the pressure washer to it. The box has been washed in the pic below. Cleaned. Ooh ahh. The trip home took me 17.5 hours. The trailer marker lights went out around Wroxton SK, probably due to the really rough roads. After spending about half an hour trying to...

    So What Did You Do With Your PSD Today?

    At the Ross Creek West rest area in AB. Checked the temperature of the tires and hubs. Had to add a little air to the front right trailer tire.

    So What Did You Do With Your PSD Today?

    Hauled it out of the bush with the tractor, and winched it on to the trailer. Had to winch it onto the trailer, because the engine is seized. The safety inspector cat was supervising. One smart cat: it can open the front door to the house and let itself it!

    So What Did You Do With Your PSD Today?

    Trailered my 1992 F250 from my brother's farm in AB back to Ashern MB. It's sat a while.

    Finding the limits of my centrifuge and the sweet spot

    Merry Christmas. I used a ratio of 80% WMO, 15% RUG, and 5% biodiesel. The biodiesel was mostly as a cetane booster. It worked pretty good, but it would still coke the single shot HEUI injectors, if it was not running hot/under load. Later, I mixed the 80/15/5 cocktail 50/50 with diesel to...

    Finding the limits of my centrifuge and the sweet spot

    That makes sense. Heating the oil reduces its viscosity and allows the crud to come out of suspension more easily. I heated WMO with an repurposed dryer heater element. It worked good, but it may have been too hot. I found I reached a stage where every pass after the first few always had...

    Finding the limits of my centrifuge and the sweet spot

    Interesting thought experiment. Obviously, the first pass is very effective. Subsequent passes have diminishing returns, but are still effective in removing crud. If you have the time/energy keep doing passes, IMHO.

    I don't use RTV, just lube them up good.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Fired up the '86 truck for the first time in months. It was warm out, so I figured why not. It fires up better than my 7.3 PowerStrokes.

    idi vs di for wmo

    I have run a little ATF blended in with WMO, and had no problems. ATF and hydraulic oil are generally lighter than WMO, but WMO can really vary. It can range from gear oil to 0W20. Generally, the thinner it is, the less problems you'll have.

    idi vs di for wmo

    I run an extra 2 degrees of timing with my WMO cocktail. Your mileage may vary. :) WMO works best in a hot engine too. I find coking occurs when cruising lightly loaded.

    idi vs di for wmo

    Having put many thousand miles on my diesels, here is my 2 cents worth: The IDIs love WMO. You can even advance the timing a little to get more power & economy. The PowerStrokes with Single Shot injectors will tolerate WMO for a while, but will coke up eventually. Perhaps, if a guy had a...

    Figured I would clean the snow off the tonneau cover. Oh wait, I don't have a tonneau cover. :rolleyes:

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I jacked the rear end of the truck up until the back of the engine was perpendicular to the ground. The transmission slid in like a dream. This was done single handedly! Having the back of the truck way up gives more room underneath for working too.

    Super duty 7.3 in obs truck

    What injectors does the 2000 school bus engine have? I'm thinking it has the AD/AE injectors in it.

    Super duty 7.3 in obs truck

    I have good news, and bad news...It's doable, but there are many differences. This thread: https://www.oilburners.net/threads/project-1997-parts-truck.74824/ documents what I went thru when I put a 2003 PSD in my OBS.

    Bad sound on a fresh rebuild (video)

    You could try swapping the injector on the suspect cylinder with another cylinder, and see if the problem follows the cylinder or the injector.

    Bad sound on a fresh rebuild (video)

    Seems to me, the timing is too retarded. As Mel wrote in one of his IP replacement articles, the diesel rattle of a properly timed new IP and injectors can sound frightening. Your engine sounds pretty subdued. Retarded timing will cause it to smoke, and bog out at higher rpms. My 6.9 cents...

    I hate it when a parts truck looks better than my daily driver. :rolleyes:
