Anyone had this problem?
Also look at the u-joints, are they aligned the same? If not pull the shaft apart and align then so they are the same and re-install. I have had this problem.- DaveBen

Anyone had this problem?
Your driveshaft can cause this. Crawl under there and shake the driveshaft near the ends. Does it move? YES=new u-joints.- DaveBen

Anyone had this problem?
NO don't use Locktite. Check them when you grease the u-joints. When the u-joints get loose they cause the vibration you feel and that can loosen the bolts. Your u-joints are shot before then so you need to pay attention.- DaveBen

6.9idi head retorqueing.
What did you "tighten" them up to? If you did not use a torque wrench then you are flying blind. Only thing to do is remove the heads and make sure they are FLAT and re-install using new gaskets.- DaveBen

I'm back in the IDI game!
You can use a socket wrench on the lower crankshaft dampener and turn it from the front of the truck, without crawling under the truck.- DaveBen

Timing my 7.3 N/a IDI
The line that does NOT move is the reference mark, or ZERO degrees. You want the moveable timing mark towards the passengers side. Keep moving it toward the passengers side until it starts. Drive it and make your determination based on how it runs.- DaveBen

Leaking injector line
You NEED those line clamps. They keep the lines from vibrating and cracking. Look on eBay.com.- DaveBen
