    1997 F250 7.3 IDI questions

    I think it's on the top back of the driver's side of the engine.

    CL Find: 91 F250 LOW Miles 7.3L

    Too high. Maybe $6000 at the most.

    Winter is here! Thoughts on cold, hard starts?

    Having the electric pump INSTANTLY clears air out and after first cycle of the plugs it will start.

    Winter is here! Thoughts on cold, hard starts?

    Add an electric fuel pump. No more air intrusion issues. Search the forum, someone here sells them.

    '97 F250 throttle position sensor failure?

    Replaced it last year and now the check engine light came on and there is no throttle response. After slapping the pedal a few times it came back. Is there something else wrong or is the sensor prone to premature failure? Thanks, Gary

    Fuel filter green wire on top leaking?

    I see a steady drip coming out of the green wire "sensor" on top of the fuel filter. Does this unscrew or what? 1990 F250, Banks, 4x4, Lariat Thanks,

    starting problems....

    You probably need the fuel return lines and caps replaced. This is where the air gets in.

    Got a "new" truck that won't start...

    It's a 1990 4x4 Lariat with factory Banks turbo. I know that it had starting issues and I'm replacing the glow plugs. The starter also needs attention. My question is about the glow plug controller. Can I bypass it with the push button setup? Thanks, Gary

    Do '78 rims fit '85?

    Now the guy says the rims are 16.5" Mine are 16". Looks like I've answered my own question.

    Do '78 rims fit '85?

    Could someone tell me if these rims will fit. They seem like it. 8 lug 5 inch centers off a '78 Ford? Thanks

    ok lets see ur idi's

    Still use it. Owned since 1990, went to the desert a month ago added 1000 miles. All the rust is from living on the coast, not much underneath.

    One like this might work. http://www.jcwhitney.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product?storeId=10101&Pr=p_Product.CATENTRY_ID%3A2000857&productId=2000857&catalogId=10101

    Pretty sure the stealership is lying

    I'd blame the controller that THEY installed for burning out YOUR glow plugs. The way I see it the damage done by their warrantied part ruined your glow plugs.

    safe glow plugs?

    Get the ones I linked to. I've owned my truck since 1990 and it starts EVERY time. Manual glow plug button and Holly Red fuel pump.

    warming it up

    I don't plug it in and it starts in the coldest weather. I wait till the OP gets up and take off. Plugging it in sure makes it nice when it's cold since the heater works NOW. Costs too much for that luxury.

    safe glow plugs?

    Buy these. I've had them for over four years and they start no matter what. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/6-9L-FORD-DUAL-COIL-DESIGN-DIESEL-GLOW-PLUGS-G088_W0QQitemZ230229139799QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item230229139799

    how much have you hauled....

    I put a blue tarp in my bed and FILLED it with concrete. I then drove around my house and laid two slabs. The redimix driver was amazed and said he was going to tell everyone back at the plant.

    glow plug warm up time?

    I have Wellman dual coil with a manual push button. After trial and error I hold it down and after 6-10 seconds start it and continue holding it until the truck starts. When it's real cold it might take up to 15 seconds to start. Then I push the button for a second or two a few times until...

    New injectors

    I replaced mine at 200,000 and didn't notice any difference whatsoever.

    Instant heat glow plugs?

    I'd be suspect, I want to see a test as to how long it takes for them to fail. Otherwise I would think they would burn out prematurely.

    how much have you hauled....

    2 1/2 yards of concrete in the bed of my truck. Saved me from wheelbarrowing. 10,000 lbs. plus truck of course.
