    ALERT : '78 Bronco with '84 6.9 @ 100k Edgecomb, ME : low ask!

    I just chatted with this gentleman on facebook. His name is Michael. The ad caught my eye, because of the body year / engine claim. It said 6.9 diesel. Thats it... I thought it was some dope who didn't know what they had... So I asked him. Motor's out of a 1984 250. I was only curious about if...

    Sudden Electrical/IP issue...

    Ok. I have to get to the store to get diesel for my truck AND the furnace, since we ran out while I was at work today and the oil guy cant come til monday. First, the setup: Stock everything (7.3T) except the Carter elec. pump on my frame rail, run off a relay that gets it's close 12v from...

    Post injector swap issue...

    Just put a set of reman BB's in my 94 IDI T. I have what seems to be VERY low compression on one of my cylinders. If I start her below 20F, it actually misses for the first 5 seconds or so, then starts to get ignition after some revs. The problem isn't very obvious while driving, and there is...

    Radiator mount question...

    Researching today, i found a few different rad mounts. I know that the larger opening mount is diesel, but one site i saw said "not for Diesel with super cooling option"... Did they mean intercooler? I don't think my rad mount is any different than an NA 7.3's, but I do have a turbo and an...

    Random 4x4 question

    I bought a new rear axle off ebay this past june. Haven't needed to use 4 wheel since. I did today, and my rear wheels drag a couple inches every 1 1/2 rotations or so. I spent a lot of time making sure that the ratios matched between my Dana50 front, and what I was buying... but I think it...

    Want to trade old IP core for something good...

    I just found a unicorn recently: a reman IP + all hard lines for $300 from a diesel tech I know... I put her in, and it's a great pump. Now I have the old core, no rebuild skills, and no extra $ in the near future to get it rebuilt for a spare... So I figure I'll trade someone on here that...

    I have to do this oil cooler swap myself now. Just started her for a second, and the drip is now a gush. So much so that I wouldn't feel right driving it to my garage... A few questions: :dunno -What capacities do i need for my fuid drain? i remember i did 11 quarts (i put on the PS...

    need an oil cooler ASAP... Who's holding?

    I had a drip that I didn't notice/didn't get bad until warm weather came... Tracked it to the rear cap o-ring on my cooler... My gaskets and caps are still good. I checked and there's no fluid crossover happening and my coolant is fine. Called a guy because I don't have the capacity for a...

    Quick question: timing symptoms

    I was curious what the symptoms are across the RPM band for: 1 ) timing far too advanced 2 ) timing far too retarded I'm looking for the extremes of the spectrum, so think "running, but barely..." in either case. This is just something I've been wondering about. Thanks!

    Toys for people with military equip interest/ tinkerers....

    Found this guy's site.... FIgured I'd share. Lots of military surplus goodies. I think he might have a connection at Fort Dix, considering his location... I know this isn't IDI specific stuff, but with the people I've come to know being on here, I expect one of us will want something from this...

    Quick poll: do biz with Mylex? y/n?

    Just found this on Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/6-9-7-3-Ford-Diesel-Fuel-Injectors-1983-1993-non-powerstroke-code-BB-/221200527499?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item338094308b&vxp=mtr I searched the hall of shame for Mylex, and couldn't find anything negative. :dunno I was...

    I did some scouring and found this stuff: http://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/120/124/=wf5g8f <---look at the very bottom of sheet for "ultra chemical resistant" type... ...and to confirm it's compatibility with diesel: http://www.mcmaster.com/#8354kac/=wf5iaa <----look at sheet 3, type...

    New non-emergency air (i think) issue... Want to do this slow and right.

    OK. So here's the recent activity involving my engine: 2 weeks ago, new mechanical lift pump (did not replace hard line to filter, or soft supply from tanks...) 1 week ago, GP system checked. GPC good, plugs good, fuses refreshed. 2 new matched batteries. Turned up IP 3 flats (half turn...

    Looks like a new GPC for me... What's the good word?

    So, I think the solid state components are what are fried in my GPC... not the relay. Looks like a new one is in order. Any advice/thoughts? brand loyalty? I know, I know... Motorcraft! :D Just lookin' for some opinions... What do you think of this guy...

    GP light: On once this morning, that's it... Need her today. Not the time!

    Went outside to start her 5 min ago. No block heater, since it was above 15F overnight... "wait" light came on first try, but seemed to go out quicker than usual... Cranked. Good crank power... No start. Almost as if the GP's only heated up half way? Key off... Key on... No wait light. No start...

    New lift pump. No start after

    Been a while since I was on... But I guess that's good, because I haven't had issues. Until now... I decided after my engine started acting up and belching a lot that I would try the cheaper fix and do the lift pump before throwing down a bunch of $ for a new IP from Agnem... which I was...

    *new* Delphi G-code injectors...

    I've read on here that some reman injectors are better than some new, because of their point of origin for manufacture... I was just wondering if NEW Delphi G's are in any way inferior to older reman Delphi G's... I've heard that Delphi used to be called something else, so I figured their...

    Coolant question...

    The P.O. of my truck was a drunk idiot... (he was drinking a beers in an Applebee's parking lot where we met, and I bought the truck... my first clue I had to rescue her from him...) He asked me if I knew what cavitation was. I told him yes, because I did. I'm not sure if he did though. He...

    Can I swap this...???

    I have a bad rear tank pickup unit from the crap rear tank of my '94... (right) ...and a functional sending unit from the rear tank of my '88 f150 gasser.... I asked in another thread about something else, but got a vague answer as to how I would go about making the gasser unit work in my...

    Quick 2 part yes/no question......

    I have a bad rear tank/sending unit on my diesel.... and an almost new rear tank and sender on my gas junker, an '88 F150 straight six... The '88 also has a ZF5... Is there any reason I can't use a gas rear tank setup in my diesel if I clean it out really well? ...and is there any...

    AIR! new strange symptom(s)...

    Been a bit since I was on. Work, and the winter of discontent just won't stop. It's almost April, and I have 3 feet of hard pack snow out back that all 198lbs of me can walk on. I have searched for my symptoms before posting on here, to no avail... Last time i was on, I had just finished a...
