    Sticks at 1500rpms and Black smoke when pulling my tractor

    94 7.3 idi When I'm pulling my ditch witch (about 5k lbs), my truck accelerates fine but once it gets into 2nd or 3rd gear once the rpms hits 1500 it's kinda stays there but slowly rises unless I give it more fuel but then a lot of black smoke comes out the exhaust. It wont do it if I baby it...

    A/C sucks

    94 F250 IDI My ac blows cold and it has different setting when you turn the knob but high barely feel like a light breeze when you are sitting back. I have to put my arms up to the vents just to get cool. I bought a new blower motor which I think helped some but not by much if it did. It's got...

    Truck shakes/bounces violently when braking hard at higher speeds

    I didnt have this problem before when I drove truck everyday. It sat for a 6ish months. I recently started driving it and now when I hit the brake at higher speeds it shakes or bounces from side to side pretty violently. Itll actually throw stuff off the dash sometimes. Sometimes it's just a...

    A/C clutch engages the disengages

    When I crank the truck it doesnt engage if the ac is on or gets turned on but if I tap the plate it immediately spins and starts blowing cool air. But as after a few minutes of driving it stops blowing cold and the clutch disengages I took it off to try to remove a spacer like some people...

    Where to plug this vacuum line in

    It's from the harness that connects in the heater box. I had an engine fire that melted the lines but I have no idea where the black goes. I'd greatly appreciate being pointed in the right direction

    Last minute question before putting heads back

    I'm replacing the head gasket due to some starter fluid use. Someone told me I should have the heads checked for and warped areas. There is what looks like some carbon build up on the top of the piston bore hole. But that's opposite the side that actually was damaged from starting fluid. The...

    Pushrod out of alignment?

    Engine has been hard starting/hydro locking from what others here have told me here since I used starting fluid to try to start a 94 IDI. So I'm digging in to change the heads and other gaskets. After the starting fluid incident it made a loud popping sound while running and I was told it...

    Rpms read zero without throttle

    My tach sensor has oil in it which I'm sure isn't a good sign but not sure how it would even get there. But yeah when I accelerate it acts normal but as soon as I left off it drops to 0. Also my speedometer needle bounces as I accelerate

    Squealing under hood when wheels turned all the way left

    Exactly what the title says. Video attached. Any help would be appreciated. I've got two vacuum lines that got melted in a engine fire I'm about to replace if that would have anything to do with it. I figured it may be related since the power steering may rely on vacuum.

    Starter turns, stops, then turns and cranks. Video a

    I posted a quick clip of what it does. I cant remember exactly but I'm pretty sure this started right after I tried to use starting fluid to get my engine to crank which caused a loud knock and popping (Lifter damaged possibly?) and or when my engine caught fire. Both were right around the same...

    CDR Grommet question

I already checked the parts bin on this site and got a part number but the stores arent open and I couldnt find it on their website. If I have to order it online I will...

    What would this be called and any suggestions about getting it off or replacing?

    It is attached to the side of the IP and goes under what seems to be a sensor. I'm changing all the fittings over to a new IP.

    Fuel in oil question.

    I found fuel in oil in my 94 7.3 IDI several months ago so I've had it sit for a while till I could fix it. I've got an Injection pump and new injectors coming. When I removed the old injectors all the copper washers were falling off and one had a bunch of this black charred stuff on it. I had a...

    Gas tank full but guage reads empty and truck stalls

    Pretty much the issue is stated in the title. Switched to the rear tank that I knew had a full tank but the guage read empty. Figured it was just the guage acting up but then the truck stalled on me. Switched back and it cranked up after a minute. Switched back and it died after a minute. Just...

    Fuel/contaminant in oil

    My oil level was way higher than the full line all of sudden. I havent checked it in about a week but it was fine and normal prior. But last Thursday my belt broke and it got stuck in the crankshaft and ripped some rubber off my hot line and the knocked the transmission fluid tubing apart. The...

    Need advice with fuel delivery issue.

    1994 F250 7.3 IDI Truck will start sometimes but other times not at all. Drives fine once it cranks. No irregularities. I was getting air in the lines so after some digging i found a leak in mechanical fuel pump and replaced it along with the rubber grommet around the metal pipe going up from...
