    throttle pedal travelling half way down

    I dont know if this is a common thing with 97 7.3 f250hd. My throttle pedal has to be pushed down 1/2 way before it begins to accelerate. is there an adjustment to shorten this stroke?? it bothers me that i have to push it so far when trying to time clutch to throttle footwork. It doesnt seem to...

    Cleaned. Engine then slow death

    Actually the guy i got the truck from has a set from IH. ok i found that plug, guess i need to do is remove clamp from down pipe and make sure its wide open until i can pull everything and do it correctly. I think the wires going from the sensor to the ecu are the ones that were cut off so the...

    Cleaned. Engine then slow death

    I wasnt sure if there was anything electrical that controls fuel or not, i did notice the water in fuel and fuel filter lights on during cranking. the tank was over 3/4 full and couldnt figure out why fuel would be affected at all. hopefully when the sun is out tomorrow i can get to that plug...

    Cleaned. Engine then slow death

    1997 7.3 i tried to disconnect and blow out every connector, there was one on the passenger side under the fuel bowl but couldnt get to that one. What should be the fuel flow rate?? surely more than a couple of oz.

    97, 7.3 PSD, 316,000 miles. Recently traded for this truck a couple of weeks ago. Yesterday while driving around Dallas for parts noticed the oil pressure gauge swinging between 1/2 way then down to the lower end of the white on the gauge. Kept an eye on it and it drops when accelerating. If i...

    Traded my IDI for powerstroke

    Are the connections going to the injrctors a problem, especially when wet? I need to degrease this motor badly, cant see any actual paint anywhere. Btw, where does the speedo get its signal from. Would love to change rear end ratios but dont want to have to recalibrate speedo. Where can i find a...

    Traded my IDI for powerstroke

    ok, measure fork end to face of bellhousing, 1.75 inches, removed fork and saw where the fork had been bent by the bulge in the sides of it, bent it back in a press about 1/2 of and inch on the small end and tried it. too much, went back 1/8 inch and that put the fork end about 3/8 of an inch...

    Traded my IDI for powerstroke

    The pedal pad moves down about 1 inche before making contact them another 2 or so before it actually feels like its pushing the fork and pressure plate i think all the slack is on the slave cylinder end i need another person to push the pedal so i watch from underneath.

    Traded my IDI for powerstroke

    Already did that, they are new, is that rod adjustable? I crawled underneath and i can easily move the slave cylinder towards the clutch fork about 1/2 inch, wonder if tge arm is bent. When i move the cylinder and let go it returns putting light pressure on tge arm which i know means the...

    I traded my 91 F350 dually 7.3 IDI for a 97 F250 power stroke 7.3 power stroke. New to turbocharged diesels and would appreciate any input as to pros and cons of this truck.

    trans fluid level after being towed

    They lifted it high enough that they folded back the tongue jack on the trailer that was hooked to the truck. One of my neighbors said something to them about the fluid leaking out all over the drive and the jack and they told him thats not his problem. All this is because 1 trailer tire was...

    RABS delete?

    go to a shop that does hydraulic hoses and fittings and get a $6 fitting to connect the 2 lines together and bypass it completely, you will be a lot happier, rear abs systems are a pain in the a$$. lockup the front wheels during a panic stop and the rears just kick in and out making the rear hop...

    No front brakes

    Disconnected in and out lines and spliced them together. Completely eliminated abs module. I have not found anyway to bleed it out. Or found any special tools to do it with. Went back to basic brake system. If i i cantt stop my11,000 lb truck without abs then something is wrong I despise...

    No front brakes

    Looks the same as what is in mine now... Oh well, time to pull master and try bench bleeding it again. Then bleed out everything again. Would bypassing the abs module have caused this problem?

    No front brakes

    Well, i was right, the large port on the new master cylinder is on the end away from booster. That means the brake lines have been swapped around or wrong master cylinder. Can someone look at their master cylinder and tell me what you have. 91 f350 crew cab 7.3 idi e4od trans

    No front brakes

    Well, I think i found out why i dont dont front brakes. I was looking around my garage and found my old brake booster and master cylinder. The ports for the brake lines are 2 different sizes and the larger of the ports is on the end closest to the booster. I will have to look at the ones on the...
