    7.3 not starting! Damsel in distress!

    I am the friend that's helping the OP artichoke, pretty familiar with this amazing forum, and idi/diesel wrenching. I'm trying to guide Artichoke, to be an independent psd mechanic, due to not finding good mechanics locally, and being expensive. With this forum anyone can do it. The truck was...

    Not diesel at all it's gas. I'm definitely in the wrong forum. Haha. I found that this is the best forum regardless of which fuel is being used. I also have a 7.3 Econoline.

    How are you driving the speedometer? It's a free-for-all. I don't plan on selling the truck and it's a dedicated towing/hauling vehicle. So. I plan on building a dash for it where I'm going to mount a spare Android phone, dedicated for the OBD computer and speedometer/odometer, and the...

    I do not have a gear in the tail shaft. I sent an email to the us shift folks...they have a way to get the signal for the VSS from the abs sensor in the differential. So, I may be ok. I'm in contact and will be ordering a quickshift4 this afternoon. Thanks for the reply.

    thanks for the quick reply. fusible links seem ok, i'm getting power to the gpr. I may have the power relay wiring wrong. been looking at diagram's. when i replaced the power relay I went from 3 terminals to 4 terminals. I think I need to have a dedicated ground from one of the smaller terminals?

    Hilarious, but most of if was towing in snow and ice, including recovery of my sister's scion today. The only reason I say service now, is preventative, and I am smelling gear oil burning. Sent from my LGMS659 using Tapatalk

I have found a parts schematic, courtesy of a forum search over at FTE. looks like I need an oil feed hose, a...

    Hello, good morning, and I'm screwed.

    I agree, I would normally keep everything stock, but the glow plugs being manual, give me a bit more control, and less things to troubleshoot.

    Hello, good morning, and I'm screwed.

    I have had the truck a week or so. I have a total of 3 idi's, all manual glow plug trucks, never had an issue, totally rock solid reliable. At this point, I want to go manual to eliminate any more variables, to make troubleshooting in the future more straightforward.
