    We got a little recognition on YouTube

    He is not a expert and gets small things wrong sometimes, but thought these trucks were significant enough to include on his channel.

    Why did my 7.3 not like ether today.

    Preface; Did some work to the fuel system recently, ended up switching to and using the rear tank permanently, the front one rusted out. It has been doing fine till today. Today I noticed my fuel gauge was reading around 1/4 tank give or take. Thought to myself I am going to need fuel soon...

    Detailed explanation of air intrusion pathway

    I am debating with a guy in another forum about the role the o-rings and caps play in letting air into the system and causing hard starting. We all know the o-rings cause it when they leak air. He claims the return system has nothing to do with the fuel filter or the input to the injection...

    Some injector trivia

    I was discussing the function of the return line system on our trucks in another forum. I thought it was for cooling the injector, and then maybe lubrication also. He corrected me and said the return line system is just to carry the fuel away that leaks around the pintle, and that you can sort...

    Hood insulation

    Give me some good reasons to keep it. I had some mouse problems and pulled the clips and pulled it down. Some of the clips broke. I then went down to the donor truck and it's insulation was in better shape, and between the two trucks I was able to salvage (I thought) enough clips to put it...

    Inconsistent power output ideas

    Has anyone experienced their truck suddenly running better? I wasn't positive it was happening, till this last long trip I took to South Carolina. I loaded up/fueled up, and took off down I-81. It was pretty sluggish on power, but it never has been a race winner(89, no turbo, completely stock...

    Help me understand how the injection pump works please

    I was reading with interest the other thread where the guy put new injectors in his engine with a old pump. It was discussed that he should replace/rebuild the pump since it's not up to making the new injectors work. What is exactly done to a pump to make it "new again? If I am figuring...

    Passenger side valve cover removal

    Anyone have a trick to get this thing off? I took the fuel filter off the bracket, and got the valve cover loose, but I can't get it by the HVAC housing near the firewall. I was going to go ahead and take the alternator off, and then the large filter bracket, and see if I could slide it...

    How do you guys deal with the clutch slave cylinder?

    I just did a search and see where some of you routinely pull the slave and then the clutch fork to grease it. I also can't find much on the internet about how to take off and re-install the slave cylinder. So why did I have so much trouble today? I am doing a c6 to zf swap, and I put the...
