Won't start... Don't have a clue what I did wrong.
Okay... So I've got a 1989 F350 7.3 IDI that won't start. It's been sitting about two years. So far, I've replaced: -The fuel filter (Filled it with Diesel before spinning the new one on.) -The glow plugs (All eight were shot... No wonder the glow plug controller was clicking all the...- Pele

Need a few wiring diagrams and some rewiring ideas.
My truck is a 1989 F350 with 7.3L IDI, non-turbo... First things first, there's a large connector on the passenger fenderwell that's a melted ball of junk. I assume that's due to the glow plug harness. A couple of butt splices gets the glow plugs working on the two thickest wires, but I...- Pele

Working with 3.55's?
I'm looking at a truck and being that I'm only gonna spend $7000 MAX I'm kinda limited on my selection... It's probably gonna be an OBS and most likely an IDI, but I could find a Powerstoke if I looked really hard. And Lo and behold, I did find a Powerstroke for $7k... With 300K miles on the...- Pele

E4OD Buying Guide?
So I'm looking for a used 1992-1994 F250 4x4 Diesel as a towing rig for my track car. I figure I'll need a 18 ft trailer... My current truck's got a ZF5 in it. I like it, but I think with an oversized truck and trailer, the added work of running manual would be too much... I have to brace...- Pele

Flatbed truck legal battle!
I never wanted to live in an area with an HOA... I thought that by getting my place without one, I'd be safe... Turns out I was wrong. Pissed off neighbors can still wreak havoc on one's day. So here's a picture of my truck... Originally a Pickup, the VIN traces back to a standard...- Pele
