    building a 1997 F350 cclb 7.3L 4x4

    thought I'd give an update on the Knight's progress. while checking glow plugs we found #2 injector unplugged so we fixed that, put new high pressure oil lines from the pump to the heads on and added the steel crossover line. I've started putting the Early 99 Superduty intercooler on and wow...

    sorry took so long too get back with you... built my own::: used a Bosch pump, 6.9L filter head (it uses a finer filter then the powerstroke) and a FAAS pressure regulator with custom bent steel line. still working out some kinks:: mainly fuel leaks < LOL

    guys I would like some good options of building my engine, I'm wanting more power but don't want to go stupid crazy, I use this truck as a daily and as my work truck so I haul (pull a gooseneck) up too 20K payload. I want too intercool, do injectors but looking at keeping stock turbo with...

    1991 F250 7.3 no start

    Well I finally woke up and figured out the problem. After playing with it all weekend doing this test and that test we found out we wasn’t getting fuel from the tank so we used a clean diesel fuel can and a electric pump and it would run for a little bit. Couldn’t figure out why. Blew air...

    We have a diesel shop close so when the boy gets the cash we’ll pull everything and take it too them. Thanks for the offer though

    Wes I have at least 200 rpms and it’s a new lift pump ( I know it could still be weak ) I’m starting to think the inj pump is going out. I want to put all new stuff on with an electric pump.

    Wes To start it cranks fairly good with the charger on it. Yes the line from the filter to the injector return cap is still pinched off

    Nope not even on ether which is how I got it running earlier. This truck has been a real pain since he got it. It had sat for almost 10 years due to a bad lift pump

    Wes I would love to rip the powerstroke out of my 1997 cclb and put a built idi turbo in its place. Or find a cclb bullnose and build one for it

    Well we had the engine running half way decent and a return hose came off so I shut it down and now I’m back to square one. About ready to go get a new pump and injectors and start from scratch.

    I use a set of hose pincher and pinched off the line off filt and #2 inj to pump then pulled line off pump and had son crank eng. Have fuel coming out of top fitting on pump. Reinstalled said line.

    Okay tad confused. I have fuel return from #2 inject to pump but I thought I should have fuel coming from pump as extra from the top housing going back to the tank not from the return side of injectors to the pump. Lubed o-rings with fuel and clean oil mix

    Schrader has very little bubbles. If you pull the return off filt fuel shoots way past dose of truck. All injector lines are totally loose

    Thanks. I forgot to post that I redone his mistake by installing a 7.3 kit. Could having the wrong kit screwed up something. Also I don’t have any fuel out of the return fitting on the pump.

    guys it’s been way too long since I work on an idi. Son bought a 91 F250 with a 7.3 Ida that had sat for several years. After a bit of work I got it running but I never felt it was right. Lacked power and throttle response. Well the return lines developed a leak and the son decided to replace...
