    89 7.3 IDI sluggish

    This sounds like a reduction of fuel flow. Pull off the fuel line to the tank and add a clear short hose. Now run it for a few seconds. What do you see? It could be something in the tank blocking the fuel.

    Slow crank

    Your negative responses are NOT getting you any friends. "WE" have been here for a long time and have been through many projects and WE KNOW this.

    Slow crank

    Did you check and clean the ground wires? If the CCA's are not high enough, you will get slow cranking.

    6.9 no start below 60 degrees or so

    NO PEDAL at all. The injectors will give the engine enough fuel to start. I have owned a 7.3 IDI , a 6.0 and an old 8V92TA (Detroit Diesel). None of these needed fuel to start.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I sure wish they still made ole fashion washing machines without computers! We got a computer controlled washer a year ago. It works fine but it goes thru a lot of pre washing cycles to make sure EVERYTHING is perfect. It keeps going back to HOT wash in every cycle and we have to keep setting...

    Short burst of poor engine sound

    These engines don't like to be babied. Get on it. Rev it up and drive it like you stole it. Being too "kind" to it just causes all sorts of small problems, like carbon build up on the valves and pistons.

    '89 7.3 T Wait to Start light not turning off. New to me, Property Of Shop.

    Pre-heating the engine will help starting in cold weather. You should see about 1 ohm + or - resistance for good plugs. If they are not around 1 ohm get new plugs. No resistance means an open glow plug (no circuit). And more that 2 ohms means they will not draw enough current to get hot...

    Wiring winch to trailer - 3rd battery?

    Winches draw more power under load and even more power if heavily loaded. The power draw is totally dependent on the load. More load = more power draw.

    Don't use ether. You could have bad results using them when the glow plugs are hot. If all the glow plugs are working, you will NOT need ether.
