    Exhaust soot

    A smoke puff limiter is only going to be of value if you already have a turbo.

    Project Black Stallion

    This reminds me a bit of Ezekiel's truck. It had a weird shake at idle that a bunch of us tried like crazy to fix at the 2007 IDI Weekend. Never did figure out what it was, and it was a brand new Jasper reman he had in there. Hope all this effort bears fruit!

    Getting by with one battery in summer?

    Lots of folks are out there running around with only 50% capacity in their batteries anyway, so just because you have two 850CCA batteries doesn't mean you have 1700CCA. It's probably more like just one battery if they are 4 or 5 years old. I see this all the time in my shop. Not a problem if...

    6.9 vs 7.3 Injection Lines

    It is true that 6.9 and 7.3 lines are different for sure. Conventional wisdom says don't mix them, but if it runs OK, obviously whatever effect it causes is not the end of the world. Personally, I wouldn't do it because it would bug me. Effect or not. Now if you do something like delete the...

    Need some corona dollars?

    Boy weren't those the days! We miss you too Heath, and all our IDI family. So glad we spent that 10 plus years together. Those were happy important years.

    Need some corona dollars?

    I sent you a text Ron.

    Need some corona dollars?

    Despite the virus, everyone seems to be doing well and I suppose since people are being asked to stay home, it is giving a lot of folks an opportunity to spend more time in the garage or what have you. We have been experiencing a rather brisk pace for our Moose Pump sales, and I am once again...

    2019 Rally Convoy

    Wishing you guys all the best for a fantastic time! Really wish I could have joined you, but I have to go to Florida this month, and there was only so much money and time off. Graham had thoughts of driving up from Charleston SC, where he now lives, along with the Iron Moose, but he got a...

    CDD DB4 Pump Build

    Interesting thread! And Wes, as usual, I commend you for the experimentation. I do however, have to at least point out that I put a lot of information out that was available before you came on the scene, and I suppose much of this has been lost in antiquity. We regularly manufacture the Omega...

    GP tips gone

    Perhaps. I know the only reason we have traditionally adhered to this belief is that it is stated somewhere in the IH or Ford service literature.

    GP tips gone

    Eroded tips are traditionally a sign of advanced timing, so possibly the injectors in those cylinders are popping lower than the others, which would advance the timing there. The spray pattern is not much of a factor, as in my IDI cutaway head which is in the Moose Museum, you can clearly see...

    boost related ticking?

    We talked a bit, and I'll wait to hear the video, but I'm pretty sure this is an exhaust leak between the head and turbo on one side or the other.

    idles fine dies going down the road

    Fuel output from your shrader should be good all the time. Sounds like you need a fuel pressure gauge near the pump inlet to monitor your fuel flow. You may have an issue with air intrusion at the fuel pickup, or something else going on that is pinching off the flow.

    Glow plug control module

    Some make the noise and some don't. The current rushing through whatever it is, seems to cause the noise. It's harmless, and actually if it makes it, be happy. It's easier to tell when its not working.

    Wholly crap she ran away on me

    If the external regulator was missing, maybe someone did the 3G upgrade that was quite popular a decade or more ago. Sorry your wiring is such a mess and you have to reverse engineer what has happened to this truck. A voltmeter will always be your friend.

    PENSACOLA DIESEL

    It wasn't meant as a jab to anybody. Just a simple fact, that often a phone conversation will help you get what you need, because sometimes what you need, and what you want, are not the same thing. Relax Wes. I'm not out to bust your chops. You do good stuff.

    PENSACOLA DIESEL

    I sell these same clamps. I won't sell the 4 position to a Ford IDI owner. It won't work. Instead, I'll sell them 2 of the 3 position. They are at best, difficult to install, but you CAN get them on, and they will work. This kind of advice is the difference between calling me, and just...

    FS: 89' F-350 box truck

    A customer of mine is wanting to sell his F-350 Cab/Chassis with a box body on it. I don't know much more about it, other than the fact that I set the timing on it 5 years ago. If anyone is interested, his contact info is: Harry Strickler Jr. 1465 Keener Rd. Bainbridge PA 17502 Phone...

    Better injector testing

    I though you all might like to see the last step in the production of our Moose injector products (Moose Mates, Moose Misters, Moose Buddies). In order to improve quality and better testing, I have found a way to use my $32,000 common rail test bench to test these old school injectors. When I...

    89 Navistar 7.3 idi----Learner Question

    Think of it this way... when the solenoid is energized, it is kept "out of the way" of everything that is in there. In other words, the same physical result of not having the top cover installed. When the power is off, the spring puts the lever in such a position to force the metering valve...

    Oilburners 2019 Gatlinburg Rally

    This looks like a fabulous location! I have no idea right now if it will be in the cards for us or not. Vacations are doubly costly these days, but I'll definitely keep it on my radar. It has been MANY years since a rally in Tennessee.

    7.3 6.9 IDI Injection pump play or loose?

    A couple of comments here. There is a certain amount of generous in and out play that is built into these pumps. The drive shaft floats internally, and in fact on some models of the DB series the drive shaft is not even internally retained. On a John Deere 4020 for example (which actually has...

    Problems with my new injectors very frustrating

    As a response to this, I've devised a way to get my common rail injector test bench to run these. In this way, I can pop test them more extensively then before, unattended. Sadly, I still cant duplicate the vibration, but at a minimum, it will be a more thorough test then before.

    How did you get into an IDI?

    One of the few here, if not the only guy, who can say "I ordered it in April of 1983, and took delivery in July of that year." In fact, my truck was the first Ford diesel pickup sold by Stoner-Wade Ford in Quarryville PA. I had been watching with interest, the 6.2 in the Chevy's and was really...
