    SD 7.3 into OBS w/ ZF5

    Yes it has a hydra chip and I was looking to get my injectors from swamp diesel. They offer to put 6 programs on the chip for free. Do I need to tell them my exact situation so that they program it for the obs pcm?

    SD 7.3 into OBS w/ ZF5

    Also I believe the engine already has all the upgrades needed regarding the turbo and oil system and fuel system I’m just trying to make sure I cover all my basis when it comes to making it communicate with the obs. And of course making sure the zf5 will work

    SD 7.3 into OBS w/ ZF5

    Well the SD 7.3 already has a decked out fuel system from regulated return, to the frame mounted pump and filters, an adrenaline hpop, and a larger turbo plus more. It also has about 200k less miles than the engine in my truck now. So I was more looking to swap the whole engine. And are you...

    SD 7.3 into OBS w/ ZF5

    So I have a Frankenstein OBS truck that I am looking to put an SD 7.3 into. It is a 1997 Ford F350 4x4 CCLB w/ the 7.3 and a ZF5. Originally the truck was a 2wd automatic dually and I installed the suspension from my old 94 f250 along with the bed and ZF5 to make it a 4x4 5 speed truck. Now I...

    No start no smoke

    The way the controller works is it determines the amount of time it’s gonna turn your glow plugs on by a resistance reading. That’s why if you have just one back one reading over 1 ohms it’ll shorten the cycle of the whole system. Not my favorite setup IMO I switched to push button

    No start no smoke

    I’ve never had good luck with any style glow plug but motor craft. Idk why but with the current running through them and the fact that those IDIs need that heat to fire off more so than electronic controlled engines. I guess those other brands just don’t make em to last. First IDI I bought I...

    No start no smoke

    How long since its had new glow plugs? Might wanna do a resistance check on them all. One bad one can cause the whole system not to work properly

    1997 Ford F350 2wd auto to 4wd manual conversion.

    Did you do a conversion or shackle reversal? And yea I knew I didn’t want a crazy shackle angle so I figured straight up and down would work well. Gives it plenty of room to move around

    1997 Ford F350 2wd auto to 4wd manual conversion.

    Now for the manual swap I already had a 4x4 zf5 so once i bought the solid flywheel and clutch kit for the engine in the 1997 it was a direct bolt on. You have to use the frame support brackets for the manual transmission and get the pan in the cab with a cut out so your shifter tower can work...

    1997 Ford F350 2wd auto to 4wd manual conversion.

    So I thought that I would open this thread up even though it may have been done before to help those that want to do a swap like this and for myself to learn more from those who have done it. I am in the final stages of doing this swap. I bought a 1997 Ford F350 crew cab 2wd dually and the...

    7.3 idi turbo wont stay running at idle

    Had a thought. A little while back my fuel tank selector valve got stuck in between both tanks and was pulling fuel from both. I also have a hole in my rear tank from the strap rubbing so I thought maybe it could be sucking air from there

    7.3 idi turbo wont stay running at idle

    Have you had any problems since? When my injection pump was replaced it was turned up just a little but so my truck idles at 1000 rpms and I'm wondering if maybe that caused premature wear

    7.3 idi turbo wont stay running at idle

    i know i definetly need a fuel pressure gauge just didnt have one because i didnt need it until now but there is a full tank in my front and rear tank is empty. Hydro-idi i replaced fuel filter 6000 miles ago but i just have hard time leaning towards injection pump since its an OEM and so new
