Strange humming noise coming from valley pan/bell housing vicinity
The cowl just below your windshield where your wipers come through. There are several screws that go through it but on mine it was the one closest to the drivers fender inside the engine bay.- Benm2002

Strange humming noise coming from valley pan/bell housing vicinity
Probably not this but I just had a vibration noise that sounded like it was coming from the back of the engine and it was my cowl. I just install new pedal pushing and a firewall stiffener, after putting it back together and driving for a bit the farthest screw on the drivers side of the cowl...- Benm2002

6.9 vs 7.3 Injection Lines
If wire doesn’t work to measure it, blow a string through the line (dental floss would work).- Benm2002

Thermostat housing seal
It won’t seal unless you remove it. I believe Randy is talking about the bigger rubber seal on the base, which should stay.- Benm2002

Thermostat housing seal
Mine was Oem style (couldn’t find a motor craft one locally). That’s not the rubber seal I’m referring too. Mine looked more like this one (not exact) but it had a rubber seal on the edge.- Benm2002

Thermostat housing seal
What brand T-stat did you use? When I did mine the new T-stat had a rubber seal around the outer lip that my original did not, it just comes off but if left on there is no way it would have sealed. If you’re not already get a Felpro gasket, the grey fiber gaskets suck. You can also try putting...- Benm2002

Bullnose trailer plug
If the plugs are scotch locked in then there won’t be a charge (or brake controller). Yes easiest way to get a charge line is to come of the ignition activated side of the starter solenoid and run 10 gauge wire to the plug (put a 40 amp breaker inline under the hood). I would also recommend...- Benm2002

New to the idi family
Hello, thought I would introduce myself (and truck). I’ve been looking at picking up a diesel truck for awhile now but hadn’t pulled the trigger. At least not until my brother called and said he neighbor wanted to get ride of his truck. So I went over to talk to his neighbor and look at it...- Benm2002
