    idi in a Superduty

    Hi guys. I have an opportunity to buy a cheap 01 F550 4x4 with a bad engine. Not sure what happened to the engine at this point but the truck is so cheap I don't care. It is a 7.3 and a 6 speed. I have a number of idi's around and an idi in a F550 would serve my needs very well. I need to go...

    Lift pump replacement time

    Where can I get that little thin oring where the intake "Y pipe" mates to the turbo? Mines getting to be in bad shape from having that Y pipe off so many times.

    Lift pump replacement time

    Ah. Ok yeah that's one that I did replace, and I replaced it with a Motorcraft unit.

    Lift pump replacement time

    Hmm. I have replace the two rubber lines already with good clamps and the fuel filter restriction sensor which was also leaking. So I will have another attempt at tightening those banjo bolts. Are there any copper washers or anything under the bolts that I would need to get if I do end up...

    Lift pump replacement time

    I have a fuel leak from the lift pump "area" on my 95 PSD, not sure if its the pump or not at this point. But with the pump being original, I'm going to start with it and see where that gets me. When replacing the pump, is there anything else I should replace when I'm in there, cause I don't...

    Draining oil rails for injectors removal

    Yes I have also heard this!!! Haven't seen it yet tho. Man, the truck is sure running better, most notably when its cold

    Water cooled Banks turbo

    And by any chance, do you know what model of Banks this turbo would be?....I don't have a picture of it at the moment.

    Pretty much everything is a crap shoot it seems. Auto parts and otherwise

    Draining oil rails for injectors removal

    The old gaskets were burnt at the plugs....albeit still working. So, I feel its worth the money to go Ford OEM....my .02. BUT they aint cheap

    Water cooled Banks turbo

    Hi guys. Working on an 85 6.9 with a Banks turbo, that is water cooled. Never messed with a water cooled turbo before. Anyways, its leaking like a sieve from the inlet coolant hose to the turbo and I cant really get to it without removing the turbo. So, question is....can I bypass the...

    Draining oil rails for injectors removal

    Did the injector swap today. Pulled them all out, pressurized the cooling system (I didn't drain the coolant), looked closely at all the cups and NO LEAKS!! So that was a big plus! Installed the good injectors with new orings after sucking out cyl # 7 and 8 with a mighty vac. (I wasn't...

    Draining oil rails for injectors removal

    Ok good point I will do that. DO they usually leak once the injectors are pulled? I have had no signs at all of leakage thus far but the injectors have never been out. And can used ones be put back in or are they a replacement item once they are out?

    Nice cutaway! Thanks

    Draining oil rails for injectors removal

    So if I pull 7 and 8 first, then do the rest; I can call it good enough by sucking what dumps into those rear cylinders, pulling the plugs and cranking...and no need to drain the oil or fuel rails?

    Draining oil rails for injectors removal

    Does the coolant need to be drained if the cups are staying in?
  16. Kevin 007

    Draining oil rails for injectors removal

    Ah, didn't know about the coolant. I wasn't planning on replacing the cups as this bill is getting high as it is. There has not been any cross contamination of fluids at all. Just injectors, orings, UVCH, glow plugs and valve cover gaskets. Are there oil drain plugs under the valve cover...

    Draining oil rails for injectors removal

    For my upcoming injectors swap job, what is the procedure for draining the oil rails before removing the injectors? Do I pull the large plugs on the back of the heads? Or is there another way to do it? How about the fuel rails? And does the HPOP need to be drained to? Thanks guys

    Injector install master kit, DCP

    Ok Conestoga it is. I bought all my idi stuff from them, pumps and injectors. Must have had a brain fart as I didn't even check with them for PSD stuff.

    Injector install master kit, DCP

    K....fair enough

    Injector install master kit, DCP

    Has anyone bought 7.3 injectors from Diesel Care and Performance? They sell and injector install master kit with harnesses, glow plugs, and injectors and the price seems to be the best I can find. Seems like an "easy" way to get everything that should be replaced when doing an injector job. I...

    DT466, injection timing

    I believe that my turbo seals are bad, due to seeing some oil in the downpipe and seeing how the smoke doesn't really clear up once warmed up and lots of play in the shaft. So I'm thinking I will buy a new one. Has anyone dealt with JM Turbo before? There prices look fair.

    DT466, injection timing

    Do you fellas have a rough idea on where the fuel screw and star wheel are set from the factory? It would be great to have a starting point and go from there, to eliminate a poorly adjusted pump from my possibilities of things to be causing the smoke and low power. I have ordered a boost gauge...

    DT466, injection timing

    Yeah maybe...Runs very very smoothly tho but I guess one could still be leaking a bit.

    DT466, injection timing

    Still smoking. A hazy blue at all times. At idle and under load and at high rpm's with no load. Not really burning much oil, gotta be fuel related I'm thinking. Its starts very well when cold so I'm assuming the compression is ok. No more blow by then normal.

    DT466, injection timing

    Just went through all the valves, there were a few that were a bit loose, but nothing severe. I adjusted them all to .025. I don't think they have been done before, as the gasket acted like it was original, crumbled and was still painted blue on the edges. I have not taken it for a test drive...
