    Nipple Cup and Injector Seals

    Hey guys. Truck is in need of new nipple cups and o rings along with top injector seals. Figured I’d replace as much as I can while I have it apart. I found this complete kit from DK engine parts that looks like what I want. Have any of you ever used these guys or this kit? Just want to make...

    Died while driving, major oil leak

    Hey guys, so today I pulled out of my local auto parts store on the prowl for some women. I got on it just to get up to speed and as I did, I heard a kind of pop. The truck died immediately. I had enough speed to pull of into a parking lot. After I stopped I crawled underneath the truck and...

    Custom Headlights

    As everyone knows, there is basically 0 options for aftermarket headlights for the brick nose. Can a custom build be done on these headlights? Always wanted to see some wicked headlights for a bricknose but no one has done it. Is there something that makes it undoable? I saw the thread on a...

    Can't get to glow plugs

    Axle and U-Joint

    So today while whipping my truck around the farm, my foot accidentally slipped off the clutch pedal while the motor was turning 3,000 RPM. Long story short I snapped the driver's side front u joint and it took the axle shafts with it where the u-joint goes in. Anyone know where I can get the...

    Still having starting problems

    My truck is having a lot of trouble starting after sitting long enough to cool down to surrounding temperatures. It takes a lot of cranking time even in moderately warm weather to get her going. - I wouldn't assume IP because it runs great when started. It doesn't stall or run rough at idle...

    Possible 12 valve swap

    So I have a 91 f-250 with the zf5 and I've been kicking around the idea of a 12 valve swap but on the tightest budget possible. I can fab motor mounts and cross members and whatnot and I don't see why I couldn't make the trans adapter plate if someone could give me dimensions etc. Not sure if...

    Whats it worth?

    I'm going to sell my IDI here soon I think, and I have the turbo and most of the parts, but not all the parts needed to install it. So I think I would be better off selling the turbo and parts separate from the truck. Its an older banks turbo, has some side to side play I think but it doesn't...

    Turbo Question

    I got the numbers and what not off of the turbo that I got (its a banks kit). It has "roto-master" stamped on the induction housing along with "A/R 60," and the number on it is 104530. Can someone tell me what this turbo is? I think its a gen 1 but not sure. Can somebody tell me about this...

    Exterior Lights

    Pretty quick question. When you guys run a lot of chicken lights, how exactly do you go about keeping all that extra wiring clean? I have the cab lights and a few LED strips on my rocker panels all wired to the fuse for my running/head lights, and its just a mess up by the fuse. There has to be...

    HARD starting when cold

    Truck is hard starting when cold. If I let it sit for about an hour or 2, she doesnt wanna crank up. Even if I cycle the glow plugs for 15 seconds, it still takes about 3 15 second cranking sessions before it starts. Runs pretty smooth as soon as it starts up, which makes me believe it might not...

    Transcommand for E4OD

    Not sure if this is the right forum for this, but, I have a banks transcommand for an IDI with e4od. It's just the unit itself with the wires and connector that come off of it. So I dont have any wiring for it besides what connected to the unit. Not really sure how much it's worth but I just...

    Sidewinder Crossover pipe and DP

    So I'm planning on picking up a banks sidewinder "kit" for the old IDI this weekend. Guy says everything is there except the crossover pipe and down pipe. Does anyone know if the ATS factory turbos and the sidewinder use the same DP and Crossover pipe? I think it would be easier to find those...

    Injector Lines

    As I look through the prices for lines, I realize that they are extremely high. Does anyone know where to get CHEAP injection lines? All I can find is like $500 for a set of 8. That's beyond insane to me. Or has anyone ever made their own injection lines and want to share how it's done?

    Turbos & Routing

    anybody on here done their own custom turbo kit for one of these old IDIs? I think id rather make my own kit rather than pay for a Banks or Hypermax. Nothing against those but they cost double what my truck is worth. any ideas on what turbos would work good on the IDI? and also what is the best...

    Slave Cylinder Installation

    Alright so I went to put my slave cylinder in and it doesnt fit. Like the rod doesnt compress back far enough to fit behind the throwout fork. i think it will fit if I could pry the fork back and slide the slave cylinder into place, but i feel like thats still too tight and that something is...

    Some Wiring Deleting

    I'm sure that I cant be the only one who has ever thought of doing this. I want to pull my motor, clean up the engine bay, and delete pretty much everything I don't need out of the engine bay. I know the IDI only needs a few wires to run and I want to delete as much wiring as possible. I want to...

    Glow Plug wiring

    1991 7.3 IDI Can someone give me wiring schematics to the glow plug controller? I found a couple dead wires on the glow plug switch and I'm thinking that's the problem. They haven't worked since I got the truck. The guy who had it before me absolutely destroyed the wiring and my engine bay...

    Bad Injectors?

    1994 Turbo IDI The guy says its running rough and he thinks its injectors. He said it misses on a few cylinders but when he sprays diesel into the turbo it starts firing like it should. Is that an actual way of telling if its the injectors or could it just be anything in the injection system...
