7.3 IDI fuel pump
New unused fuel pump for 1991 F250 7.3 L diesel, at least that is what my notes on the box say. The box has Carter fuel pump number M60278, which would be correct. The pump though is printed M60966, so not 100% sure of fitment. Has been on a shelf in my shop for maybe 10 years. $10.00 includes...- foresterdj

Traded in 1991 F250
I checked once. Saw they said blue, it was the truck I bought that was blue. In any event, I do not see it listed anymore. On a related note, I found the fuel filter base in my stuff (I used the Wix ones with a base and drain). If anyone needs a fuel filter base, let me know. Will make you a...- foresterdj

Traded in 1991 F250
It is on their website. Cornerstone Chevrolet in Monticello, MN. No price listed. It is a good strong running truck. I only traded because I am on a glide path to retirement and needed to trade newer while I could afford to do so.- foresterdj

Traded in 1991 F250
Yesterday I traded my 1991 with 7.3l for a newer pickup. Still a great running truck. I traded it at Cornerstone Chevrolet in Monticello, MN. Anyone looking for a good IDI diesel should contact them fast. I claim it has only 146000 miles.- foresterdj

Tire chains or off-road tires for occasional mud
Mud better have a bottom, or nothing you do will help. That said, chains are a fantastic traction aid and putting a set on should not take more than about 10 minutes. Swapping to already chained up spares, are you kidding me. Have been a Forester for 38 years and have certainly logged thousands...- foresterdj

So what did you do with your truck today?

Start Issue???
Was your ignition switch VERY hard to turn? I ask because I had a no start issue with my truck today. It had not been run since before Christmas and we have barely seen above zero until today. Ignition turned very hard, like I needed two hands to turn it hard. Glow plugs worked, but no starter...- foresterdj

testing coolant
Has turned winter here in Bemidji. This morning I took a draw with the anti-freeze tester and only 3 of 5 balls would float. This would indicate a freeze protection of only -10 degrees, not nearly enough. While in town I picked up some new ethylene glycol standard green antifreeze and also a...- foresterdj

Well that's probably not good
Installed my new return line kit last Sat. In the process, some fuel from old lines runs out and pools around the front and rear passenger side glow plugs. I soak up as much as I can when cleaning up, then start truck to check for leaks, giving each injector a good close look. WTH, from...- foresterdj

Power Service Arctic vs fuel lines
The line I had was from a 7.3 injector return line kit by DIPACO Diesel Parts, on the line it says "MADE IN GERMANY -30/13/61 >NBR" . So I am open to suggestions on the line deterioration since #2 diesel and either PS in the silver bottle in summer or the arctic formula in the winter are...- foresterdj

Power Service Arctic vs fuel lines
Used Power Service Arctic (white bottle) this last winter. As an anti-gel mixed with straight #2 diesel I have to give it 5 stars. Coldest day I ran it was -25 and no problems. On the other hand, return lines have developed significant leakage. I would start the truck, pop the hood open and...- foresterdj
