It does, but I've never seen it perfectly full, so I guess it is air. I tried to test it today with a jerry can but ended up spilling diesel all over myself. I'll get a longer section of hose next time and try it again.
I've got a duralift. Thing kicks ass. No leaks from there.
I'll have to check that, I just checked and there is a small leak coming from around the front tank. Not sure if it's the tank or the valve, either way air in the system. Where is the valve located? I'll remove it and just put a T when...
That has been answered twice already. The answer is no, I left the gear housing on and removed the pump from the studs.
While I was working on it I did notice that one of the injectors had backed off of the threads and was sitting loose (I could move it with my fingers). Any reason this could...
I was finally able to get a video of it running. It sounds clattery to me there like it's too far advanced but the smoke isn't black (it looks like it is in the video but it's actually not, that's the shadow on the ground). Still no power. Fucking IDI.
At the end of the video I was playing with...
It definitely doesn't smell like antifreeze or oil.
The reviews of pensacola seem to be scattered. Some say they are perfectly fine, others have had nothing but issues. I would think that customer volume is worth more to them than screwing over a couple of people, but you never know. I did not...
Howdy y'all. So I accidentally turned my IDI into a fog machine...
She had a bad lift pump that I didn't catch until it started misfiring and dumping oil out the side of the crankcase, I replaced it with an electric pump (duralift ftw) and some good diesel rated fuel hose. Special thanks...
Thank you all for helping me with this issue. For all others with a similar issue, I suggest you check your boost elbows when the engine is at temperature. The issue turned out to be a combination of my air filter being clogged with oil (lift pump failed and covered it in oily mist) which was...
It's definitely an IDI.
I have no maintenance history on the truck. Only thing I know for certain is that it sat for a considerable amount of time before I purchased it. The governor spring wouldn't make sense though, as I've taken it out to 3,000-3,300rpm before it started running poor...
So I bought a 93.5 F250 with a 7.3 turbo IDI a few months ago. Up until recently, it's been running smooth as butter, save for the two times I ran it out of fuel. As of recently, when I get the truck to temperature, it starts blowing huge clouds of blue smoke (and occasionally white, especially...
