    6.9 what the heck is going on!

    Remove the muffler, if that doesn't help get it compression checked, could be cavitation. Mine was acting similar before it blew the block. Also pull valve covers, it could have a bad rocker or bent valve

    7.3 idi 93 to 89 swap?

    I am putting a 1994 engine in my 1990 right now, it will bolt in just fine, but there are some wiring harness differences and the return line to the tank is a few inches closer to the passenger side of the truck. If you swap over accessories them the harnesses will match up perfectly. Remember...

    NA 7.3 Y pipe

    I actually just found a Dynomax Y and intermediate pipe on Rock Auto, should be the same one that comes in the kit right?

    NA 7.3 Y pipe

    Does anyone make a Y pipe for these? I had to cut the pipes off my manifolds when I pulled the engine and will need a new one

    7.3 IDI more issues

    Thank you, dead blow and a pry bar did the trick, now just fan clutch and water pump pulley. Next question, while I have the motor out I figured I would do my valve cover gaskets, return lines, and install my set of barely used reconditioned injectors. When I took out the old injectors the holes...

    7.3 IDI more issues

    How do you separate the pulley from the balancer? All bolts are out, the big washer is out and the pulley wont budge and a puller is just pulling on the whole balancer not the pulley. Should I just move over the whole balancer?

    I am using the 4 bolt flex plate from the bad engine to mate up with the 4 stud converter in that truck

    94 NA 7.3 E4OD question

    I will post pictures this evening now that I have the engine all the way out. I didn't realize how big of a job it was. This engine really did not want to come out. That and the lift tipped once, wheel broke and it nose dived into the truck and smashed the crossmember but engine appears fine so far.

    94 NA 7.3 E4OD question

    Interesting, I know for a fact the truck is IDI. I guess I'll have to look more into it when I get it out

    94 NA 7.3 E4OD question

    I am very confused. I am in the middle of swapping engines between 2 trucks and the flexplate/torque converter has 6 nuts on the 1994. I thought all IDI had 4 bolt flexplates. Does anyone have any idea why I have 6?

    1990 f250 electrical issue

    My trucks lights stopped working partially, I have replaced the switch but still only have running lights on the drivers side and no headlights. Also checked the switch connector and no burnt or melted plastic. Could it be the dimmer?

    Engine rattle and white smoke

    I didn't have the rocker issue but had exact same problem you started with, sudden heavy smoke smelling like diesel and low on power with the noise. I replaced the Injectors, did the ATF and Hot Shot Extreme, checked injector line temps. In the end a rocker arm blew through the block and the...

    Quick turbo question

    Will a Banks, Hypermax, or modified stock turbo be best for our trucks? I plan on a 90cc pump rebuild and some stage 1 injectors.

    7.3 IDI more issues

    I thought about it but the alternator and power steering pump on that truck are bad anyways, so I'm just trying to save since money and get my truck back

    7.3 IDI more issues

    Thank you, he is going to move over all accessories and pulleys, replace the valve cover gaskets, and check the water pump, but I believe it was replaced before I got the truck. He said the job should take him about 2 weeks

    7.3 IDI more issues

    Ok, so tell them to switch everything with a pulley? I am also having him put a complete return line kit on with the new copper washers for the injectors. I can't wait to get it back, I miss driving it. This really cut into having the front springs/bushings repaired

    7.3 IDI more issues

    The truck is going in for the engine swap out this weekend, hopefully they know what they are doing. One is V belt and one is serpentine, one has an external voltage regulator and one has it in the alternator.

    7.3 IDI more issues

    I didnt think it could, I'll inspect it when I get it out and may save it for a rebuild if it is possible, but I am thinking about putting a 6.9 in it, There is one available locally

    Can a block with a hole in it be fixed?

    7.3 IDI more issues

    Tapping and smoke went away and was running good, barely any blowby as well. It was a very sudden break

    7.3 IDI more issues

    So I moved the injectors over and it was idling fine, then shot metal and oil out of the block and oil pan. She's a gonner. Now I need to find someone to swap engines over

    7.3 IDI more issues

    Injectors appear fine and tapping is still there, replaced the radiator so I did an oil change while I was at it, no metal, coolant, and did not appear to be diesel in the oil, and no oil in the coolant so I guess that is good. I am going to put the known good injectors from my other truck in it...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    They just want it fixed so it stops smoking out the neighborhood at this point, I have a small cattle farm in the area I spend most of my time at but no house on the property so I rent here
