    Won’t restart after sitting for 30 minutes

    Yup, This is definitely the problem. I had multiple chances this last weekend to test the theory. Colder the water the quicker she'd fire up. Does anyone know what the actual failure is? I'm assuming I need to replace the IP?

    Won’t restart after sitting for 30 minutes

    Ounce its cooled off it fires up, hotter the day worse it is. hotter the truck gets the lower the idle is. just noticed that yesterday on my way home. I thought I had read some where that I could poor a cup of water over the injection pump. if it cools the pump and starts you know its the pump...

    Won’t restart after sitting for 30 minutes

    Update: Replaced starter with a Power Master, new block heater and glow plugs. It did a new electric lift pump, power steering pump, and water pump. When cold (55f) I apply glow plugs and she fires right up, and runs absolutely amazing. Best it ever has. Got to work this morning, and after about...

    Won’t restart after sitting for 30 minutes

    The last time I bought a starter for an idi was back in 2014 and I just grabbed one from the parts store and i went through 2 before one worked. Is Powermaster the go to starter? I'm trying to navigate their website, does anyone know which one i need?

    @Tizzy. I'm now leaning towards the starter. It starts cold, but once warm I've had to jump it to get it to fire. It's crazy how it doesn't sound slow, but man when i hook another vehicle to it, it sings. I had the same thought when I replaced the batteries.

    Won’t restart after sitting for 30 minutes

    Truck fired right up this morning, drove ok on the way to work. With the exception of it stalling after getting off the interstate, and firing right back up. Changed the fuel filter before the electric lift pump and a new air filter. It took a bit to get it to fire up. Not sure if it was due to...

    Won’t restart after sitting for 30 minutes

    I'm still having an issue. On my way home last night it stalled going through an intersection. I was able to simply let out the clutch and it picked right back up. It was hard to start when i left work and the idle was really low, at times it would just die if i wasnt pushing the peddle trying...

    Won’t restart after sitting for 30 minutes

    Ok it's done and back to running. I dont know why I struggled with the lid, maybe because it didnt fire right up and i had to prime the system.

    Won’t restart after sitting for 30 minutes

    I am replacing the FSS today. Removed the old one and it is cracked. I thought i fully understood the installation procedure, but now i am wondering how exactly do the components engage underneath the cover. Everything I've seen talks about setting it down and then moving forward. Is the little...

    Won’t restart after sitting for 30 minutes

    Ill replace the filter, but the truck starts just fine when it is cold. I also remembered it has randomly had an issue shutting off. it would slowly shut down. I say it "diesels" like an old carb gasser. so i am thinking the fss is getting stuck in a possition either open or closed.

    Won’t restart after sitting for 30 minutes

    Glow plugs are bad. I tried poring cool water over the pump but that didn’t make a difference. I noticed my fuel filter is leaking and it’s time to replace that. Can a FSS click but not actually be doing what it’s supposed to?

    Won’t restart after sitting for 30 minutes

    Truck starts just fine when cold. Glow plugs are out, block heater doesn’t work. A little squirt and she fires right up. Once warm if I shut it off and try to restart it after 30 minutes it won’t start. I have power to FSS and when I remove and reapply the connector I can hear it clicking...

    Block vacuum

    Is it going to matter having a turbo? Did they make a cdr for the turbo model? And does having more blow by then new effect the cdr? Meaning as blow by grows does the cdr abapt to that?

    Block vacuum

    I was running a road draft tube for the last few years, but I want to run it into my intake. I’ve got quite a bit of blow by and I’m tired of being told my truck is on fire. lol So, I want to “recycle” the smoke per say. I have an ATS turbo and I will run from the front of the timing cover where...

    Everstart Platinum AGM?

    Good to know on the PM9050, ill be planning on that. No drains with the truck, ignition is toggle and push button. Probably end up getting 2 of the Platinums. Considering making my own cables using Military eyelets and post clamps. And possibly an intake air heater. Glow plugs just dont seem...

    new alternator doesnt have a plug

    It looks like they offer 2 styles. One with stud connectors and v-pullys, the other with a connector and a serp pully. I'll just have to swap the pullys, or rewire?

    new alternator doesnt have a plug

    Bought a reman alternator from Orieghlys. Didnt pay attention until i got home, but the new alternator has stud posts for the wiring. the way the truck is I beleive is factory. Is this common or did I just get the wrong alternator? And if this is an option, how am I supposed to wire it?

    Extended cab side window trim

    I can't find how to remove the side window from my '88 f250. Do I simply pry it off? Just below my drivers side is starting to get some small surface rust and I want to remove the trim clean it up and prim it.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Temps have been down to near zero. Even with it pluged in last night I had to use starting fluid. I have to do that a couple times now.

    Turbo configurations?

    So after having a couple NA diesels (6.2 and a 7.3) and a few with bolt on kits (banks on a couple 6.2, and ATS on my 7.3) I will never have one with out a turbo, or at least not for long. What I am wondering is, would you get more throttle response from one turbo or would running 2 smaller...
