    Replacing Fss solenoid

    I need to replace the fss in the burned 7.3 I have, the old one still works fine but the plastic insulators are a little melted and I'd like for that to not be a problem later! Problem is I can't remember how to change one as I haven't had to since the 90's but I do remember if you get it wrong...

    Complete 7.3 idi with turbo. What's it worth?

    Found a guy on craigslist with a complete 7.3 idi for sale, it's a 94 with the factory ats turbo and appears to be complete. What's one of these things worth? It's still in the truck so I assume I could hear it run if it does run. If I can't hear it run I honestly just assume it doesn't which...

    Cdr grommet

    Can I just buy a cdr grommet by itself? I'm working on a 7.3 that burned and the cdr grommet is completely toast! I know they come with the intake gasket but those are a little hard to come by currently and despite having been on fire mine is in great condition. If anyone knows a part number or...

    Cavitation or head gasket

    I just bought an 89 7.3 service truck that has been sitting 18 years due to a bad torque converter. I got the thing to run fairly easily and all was good until I started trying to trace a misfire, i decided to run a compression test and one cylinder came up slightly lower than the rest and was...

    E4OD to zf5 swap 1990 F350

    I'm preparing to do a zf swap in a '90 f350 7.3 idi, I know this is a fairly straightforward swap but can anyone tell me the proper drive shaft length for a 2 wheel drive crew cab? The junkyard I'm getting the conversion from has everything I need but they pile all their driveshafts in a trailer...

    6.0 long crank first start of the day

    Let me preface this with the fact that this is the first 6.0 I've ever done any real work to. So this truck was brought to me by a friend from work in a not running condition, he'd taken it somewhere to have an oil leak repaired where they replaced the oil cooler, EGR cooler and valve and valve...

    Pillar gauge set

    Does anyone make a pillar gauge setup to fit the 80-86 body style ford pickups? I already have boost and pyrometer gauges under the dash and don't want it to get too cluttered under there! I'd like to add a trans temp, coolant temp and volt gauges, unless I can find a pillar pod for 4 gauges...

    C6 slipping second gear

    Hello all, got a problem with my idi swapped bronco, out of nowhere second gear has started slipping and I don't mean a little bit I mean it's bad. In the year I've had the truck on the road the transmission has not given any indication of problems whatsoever but I drove it to town the other day...

    F-Super Duty parking brake assembly rebuild

    I've got a '94 f super duty with the parking brake drum on the transmission, the parking brake does not keep the truck from rolling even on flat ground and it also seems to have a slight leak. I've had the drum off and the shoes looked good and the cable is adjusted as far as it can be but it...

    Odd humming/groaning from ac evaporator

    I have completely redone my ac system on my idi swapped '88 bronco, new compressor, condenser, evaporator, dryer, variable orfice tube and all 3 hoses. The ac cools great and everything works like it should but it randomly makes this moaning noise coming from the evaporator that I can't seem to...

    '95 powerstroke swap

    I have been offered a good running and driving 95 7.3 powerstroke engine free of charge all I have to do is pull it out of the truck it's in. My question is what else should I take with it? I was planning on grabbing the injector driver module and engine harness for sure as well as the...

    Banks sidewinder turbo rebuild

    I think my early banks sidewinder turbo is in need of some attention as it is leaking oil and it appears to be coming from where the compressor housing attaches to the center section. I thought the drain tube was the source so I tightened the bolts and cleaned the area very well but a few days...

    Fast idle solenoid

    I am in need of a replacement fast idle solenoid for my 87 6.9, mine is there but has spilled it's internals all over the valley pan. I have looked on eBay with no luck and have not seen an idi in any of the junkyards I frequent in quite some time. If anyone has one they are willing to part ways...

    6.9 sounds like it has spark knock

    The 6.9 installed in my bronco has taken to making a spark knock sound under a load, it doesn't matter if the engine is cold or hot it makes this sound and I am assuming I need new injectors as I have already removed the valve covers and checked the upper valvetrain for any issues as well as...

    Injector cores

    I have a few sets of core injectors laying around from where I have bought new ones without cores. Are they worth anything to anyone or should I just trash them? There are 2 sets of united technology coded "D" I think and one set of stanadyne coded "G". There is also a set of cav coded "BB"...

    6.9 or 7.3?

    The current 6.9 in my 86 f350 has become a little lackluster in the performance department and is pretty hard to start in the colder months so I am planning to build another engine for it but I cant decide whether to stick with a 6.9 or go with a 7.3. I am kinda leaning towards the 6.9 because I...
