    Hydroboost in a 1986 E350 Motorhome

    I have a 1986 Jayco motorhome on an E350 van chassis, powered by a 7.3 idi turbo diesel (original 6.9 was replaced a few years ago). The stock vacuum-booster brakes are marginal, especially when towing a Jeep. Has anyone replaced the vacuum booster on the E350 van with a hydroboost unit? Is...

    Need some advice

    Well, here's my story...last spring the 6.9 in my motorhome developed a cracked cylinder wall. Rather than put in a new or rebuilt engine I decided to buy a used 7.3 and install it in place of the 6.9. I also installed a rebuilt fuel pump that was turned up to match the ATS turbo that was...

    Looking for a shop in L.A. to set timing

    My motorhome is running now, thanks to a set of injectors from Russ (thanks Russ!). Now I need to get it timed. Does anyone know of a shop in the Los Angeles area that can set the timing with a meter? Thanks! Paul

    Help--black smoke, loss of power on hills.

    The injectors were not tested. Can they simply be removed and taken somewhere to get them tested? Thanks!

    Help--black smoke, loss of power on hills.

    I recently had a 7.3 IDI installed in my 24' motorhome to replace a 6.9 with a cracked block. I took the motorhome on its first trip this weekend, and it runs fine on flat roads or with a little incline, but when I get on it to pass, and when going uphill, it loses power and makes a lot of...

    Question about Injection Pumps

    I'm having a used, running 7.3 IDI (non-turbo) put into my '86 Jayco motorhome to replace the 6.9 (cracked block). The shop doing the work (I trust them) asked if I wanted their guy to rebuild the pump and turn it up for the ATS turbo the 6.9 had on it (I'd use the 6.9's pump, but it's...

    WTB: 6.9 or 7.3 IDI motor

    The 6.9 in my motorhome is dead--cracked and pitted block. I'm looking for a running 6.9 or 7.3 to replace what I have. I live in Southern California, so if anyone in the region has something (or knows someone who does), please let me know. Thanks! Paul

    I know you've done this a few times already, but...what would be the cost of shipping to 90501? My motorhome's 6.9 is dead, and I'm looking for a replacement. Thanks! Paul

    6.9 loses power, gets it back, loses it again.

    I have an '86 Jayco motorhome on an E-350 chassis, with a 6.9 engine and ATS turbo. Coming home from a trip last week, I started to lose power on the Interstate, going from 55 to 45 to 40 (on a flat section.) I exited the freeway, and on the offramp I tried to rev the engine in neutral, and it...
