    Hub Kit?

    No sir, I finished it up. I ended up selling the truck before I went to Alaska this past winter to crab fish.

    Hub Kit?

    Hey guys, so a while back I was active on this forum when I had my 89 idi. Now I have a 97 F250 HD 4x4 that I’ve been working on. I just finished replacing the ball joints and as I was taking the hubs apart I noticed that some of the internals look pretty worn. Does anyone sell a whole kit with...

    1997 7.3 parts

    I am going to be building this engine so if you need any stock parts (turbo, injectors, etc) let me know. It’s a solid running truck with no issues.

    Oil pan removal

    My My biggest issue is the fact that I’m in the middle of putting my 6.9 back together as well. The wife’s really enjoying 2 trucks that don’t run sitting in the driveway lol

    ARP stud install and engine tear down

    Also, this is the torque wrench I used. It fit fine on everywhere on the studs using either a regular or deep well socket. I was actually shocked at how easy it was torquing them down.

    ARP stud install and engine tear down

    So here is an update. All studs were torqued to 110 ft/lbs. I torqued to 40, then 60, then 80, then 100 and finally 110. I have cleaned and installed push rods as well and getting ready for heater box. Finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel.

    Oil pan removal

    Oil pan removal

    The male part of the flange goes on the inside of the pan and through the hole where you then screw the female “nut” on to the male threads from the outside.

    I cant replace it without removing the pan.

    Oil pan removal

    So I’ve read multiple ideas and thoughts on this subject but really need some advice from someone who has done this job. My 97 F250 HD is leaking from the dipstick flange on the side of the oil pan. There is also some rust spots that I want to take a look at, may need to replace pan. I am...

    6.9 IDI Build

    Although I used studs and it’s a 6.9. But I think on the 7.3 with bolts 110 is fine.

    6.9 IDI Build

    From what I’ve read, I think you’re plenty safe at 110. That’s what I torqued mine to.

    Installing arp studs on 7.3 idi not all even?

    The ones that would be under the rockers are not even on my 6.9 either. The rest should be even though.

    Injection pump springs

    That would be great if you could send them to me. I’ll pay shipping and whatever you want for the springs.

    ARP stud install and engine tear down

    I’d say if they put bolts back in they probably didn’t clean them. With studs you have to chase thoroughly or you will have clearance issues with rocker arms.

    ARP stud install and engine tear down

    Ya I would think after all that work you would want to do head gaskets as well. It only makes sense to me. Plus as idibronco mentioned, there is a lot of #### in those holes.

    ARP stud install and engine tear down

    Is factory 80 or 100? I’ve read so many different opinions that I have no clue. My directions from ARP say 80 but guys with turbos say up to 110...

    ARP stud install and engine tear down

    So I’ve now got the driver side head studs torqued down to 80 ft/lbs. My question is if I plan on turbocharging this engine, what is my max torque I can apply to these studs/heads?
