    7.3 idi no start when warm

    Same exact issue with my truck when I bought it. Cold water on the back of the pump allowed it to start hot. I'd start saving your pennies for an injection pump from a reputable rebuilder. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thought someone may enjoy this

    You could eat off that thing! If I was going to go through all that trouble, I'd be looking into the DT360 swap. Admittedly, I didn't look through your post history. But is this a rebuilt engine ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    ATS 093 Turbo & SD intercooler install + exhaust recommendation

    Thank you for the suggestion to do away with that filer. IMO, the cowl induction is still primary candidate. I don't recall seeing any cowl induction / intercooled factory kits in the second link you provided. Seemed like most of the factory turbo examples shown utilize an open filter. Only a...

    ARP 250-4204 7.3 IDI Head stud kit

    Ohh man... that's tempting. So you collected the parts and never installed them? I'm sure you've got a pretty penny wrapped up in those heads. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    ZF5-42 transmission and PTO in Ohio (not mine)

    I've got a 4x2, so I'm guessing that might work in my favor? We are talking about transmission + PTO? Right? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    ZF5-42 transmission and PTO in Ohio (not mine)

    Yeah, I guess I didn't look for one. Just assumed it had one! Speaking of pricing though, what do these units go for used ? I don't know if one is more desirable or not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    ZF5-42 transmission and PTO in Ohio (not mine)

    Was looking around and found this post for a transmission and PTO. Price seems high? I don't know much about them. I'm sure someone here has been looking though. Thought it'd be nice to have if they weren't terribly expensive...

    ATS 093 Turbo & SD intercooler install + exhaust recommendation

    My recent radiator scare wasn't nearly as catastrophic as I originally thought, and I'm moving forward with my turbo install. I'm still missing some components for the turbo install, but wanted to put the intercooler in place before I bolted the turbo up. The factory kit I purchased came with...

    R&D vs Type4 cam?

    Based on what I've read when considering an aftermarket cam, I tend to agree with Wespaul, Macrobb, etc... Cam installation didn't seem as straight forward to me as the usual "bolt on" engine upgrades. I was intimated by the possibility of bouncing my valve train off the pistons. I've adjusted...

    Rear main seal opinions

    You said critter, hehehe. My speedi sleeve was metal, but it's just a very thin ring that covers the outside circumference where the rear main seal lives. The surface of my crank flange was worn pretty badly, so I had a fun time doing that job twice. Those plastic install kits frustrated me...

    7.3 cooling mod

    Too bad it's such a headache to get to. Seems worthwhile, and costs very little. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I made a five hour drive one way for a deal like that! Edit: didn't read your last post. Sucks about the turbo :( Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Champion Radiators for the IDI

    I saw those while I was googling for vibration resistant fasteners. I can see why several manufacturers use bushings to mount these components versus rigid mounting with hardware. At 2 dollars a piece, I think it's worth a shot! https://www.mcmaster.com/#vibration-isolators/=1b2gbgf I just...

    Champion Radiators for the IDI

    And I thought I had bad luck; I was actually getting ready to purchase one of the Champion radiators. Mainly because the alternative was plastic tanked or $600+ Copper / brass radiator manufactured by Thermal Solutions. CCP seems to offer a copper / brass replacement as well. I'm hopefully out...

    7.3 idi radiator leaking, sourcing a replacement

    So my thermostat could be stuck open. Idling for 20 minutes brought my temp up to operating while I was trying to make sure I didn't have air in the system. Tried elevating the front of the truck, and the top hose still only got warm. I put a motorcraft thermostat in. I think I'll test the...

    Exhaust prep questions

    I recently got a quote for ceramic coating. $300 for the two headers in glacier silver or black. I personally decided I'd rather spend the money elsewhere. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    7.3 idi radiator leaking, sourcing a replacement

    Didn't leak with the pressure tester at 14 psi. Tried wiggling the hoses aggressively and didn't have any hissing. Tightened the bottom hose just a bit to be safe, since it seemed that's where the leak was. If my motor mounts are going south, will the engine rock enough to cause those hoses to...

    7.3 idi radiator leaking, sourcing a replacement

    I expected this leak to steam or hiss or something... but that's not my case. I'm probably going to buy the champion 4 row just because I can't justify the $700 with shipping an OEM unit would cost. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    7.3 idi radiator leaking, sourcing a replacement

    Hello everyone, Once this cold snap broke and we got temps above freezing, I noticed my coolant overflow was empty. Checking the hoses didn't turn up any leaks, but I've got coolant on the bottom of the fan shroud and a small puddle under the truck since last night. For the truck back home and...

    No cold start OBS 7.3

    That's a very good point. I should adopt the proactive approach versus the damage control method I have now! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dual mass flywheel for early PSD

    Dual mass flywheel for early PSD

    I've got a new (rebranded) Valeo dual mass flywheel. Package was opened, but was never mounted. Part number is 50-167750. From what I've gathered, it's intended to fit the 1994-1997 PSD trucks. Didn't work for my IDI; but certainly could help someone looking to retain the DMF. My OEM dual mass...

    Need advice with my 1992 F250 7.3 IDI

    I've got a stuck bolt in the turbine side. Naturally it's the one you can't get a closed end wrench on. Going to look at an early PSD intercooler setup. Thinking the existing pipes aren't going to work the best, but hope that intercooler will fit in front of my condenser. Suppose it's time to...
