    2002 E-350 EGR?

    I searched "EGR" and did not see an answer so here goes. Does a 7.3 powerstroke from 2002 have an EGR? I need to know because I'm considering spending a ton of money on some Hot Shots Secrete Black Diamond oil and an oil bypass filter to extend the oil change intervals on my service truck. Thank...

    Oil additive for injector lubrication?

    Thank you all for the replies. I'm going to return that 15w40 for some 5w40.

    Oil additive for injector lubrication?

    I have a local diesel mechanic telling me to only use Motocraft oil in my 2002 E350 with a 7.3 powerstroke because most oils do not lubricate the injectors properly. Motorcraft oil is around $35 a gallon around here and has the Ford oil rating WSS-M2C171-F1. I looked at Rotella and even the...

    7.3 idi oil pressure and coolant temp

    I'm looking to do the same to my 1988 F350. I'd like to add a temp sensor to the ZF5 transmission but I don't know if that is possible.

    Gathering information about converting a 1986 F-150 to a Cummins 3BT

    Gathering information about converting a 1986 F-150 to a Cummins 3BT

    As the title says I have a 1986 F-150 auto trans that I am thinking about converting to a 3BT diesel and 5 speed ZF5. My goal is to turn this truck into a towed vehicle behind the bus RV conversion I am working on. Currently it has a 351 Windsor with a 3 speed auto and low geared rear end, it...

    Need new fuel pickup tubes

    Now that is a big help, seeing what I am looking for before I tear into it is a big plus. Thanks for sharing that post with us. That will take care of the mid tank and I am going to drop the rear tank to see if the same part will work there as well when the part gets delivered.

    Need new fuel pickup tubes

    Lifting the bed is not an option, it's a flatbed and probably weighs about as much as the truck does itself.

    Need new fuel pickup tubes

    I like the idea of using a piece of fuel hose, I may put a brass fitting on the end to ensure that it does not suction itself down like you mentioned. I have yet to crawl under the truck and drop the tanks but I'm planning to the next clear day we have. Thanks for the relies everyone.

    Need new fuel pickup tubes

    Yes I do need the whole assembly because my gauge stays pegged at full until about 5 or 6 miles before the tank runs dry. The needle will start jumping and I know I have around 5 miles until I start running out of fuel.

    Need new fuel pickup tubes

    I've got a 1988 F-350 7.3 IDI with a dual rear end and two fuel tanks. I know I need both fuel pickup tubes A.K.A. "The showerheads" but I'm not having much luck in finding ones to fit my truck. I see them listed for 1992 and up ect. but none for the 88. Anyone else had luck finding these parts?

    Attempted truck theft

    Quick update I did not find anything but a full steering column on car-part.com but I did find an OEM replacement shroud on ford parts center for $57 plus $10 shipping so I went with that. I thank all of you for your replies and suggestions.

    Attempted truck theft

    Thank you for the replies. I too have thought about adding a hidden kill switch to my trucks and am working on a design now. As far as the parts go I found a replacement key cylinder and keys at O'Reilly's today and was shocked that they had it in store. The price was less than $20, another...

    Attempted truck theft

    Unfortunately around here everything that old has been scrapped. I really was hoping someone still made a replacement part, even like a doorman knockoff or something.

    Attempted truck theft

    Not sure where to put this but here goes. Last night someone spend an hour inside of my 1988 F350 7.3 IDI truck trying to steal it. He destroyed the lock key way and housing so my question is where can I find a replacement steering column housing where the lock cylinder mounts? I found new key...

    Stumped with soft brakes

    Thank you very much for this info, I had no idea that valve was there. I'll be having my mechanic look at it and either replace it or just try to bleed it, either way it's good to know I'm not going crazy thinking my brake fluid is magically disappearing when I need it and then reappearing like...

    1986 F-150 conversion thoughts

    I have a 1986 F-150 with a 351 Windsor and a three speed auto and a low speed rear end, an old farm truck apparently. I am thinking of pulling the gas engine and auto tranny then putting in either a Cummins 4BT or an Isuzu 4BD1T 6 cylinder, maybe even an Mercedes OM606 if I could find one cheap...

    Stumped with soft brakes

    I have a 1988 F-350 7.3 idi and I am having stopping issues. I have had a mechanic work on this truck trying to get the brakes to work properly with the following parts all being replaced. Rear brake shoes, drums, brake parts, rear inner and outer bearings, rear axle seals and both rear brake...

    RPM limit

    Ahh that's the difference I think, mine is non turbo so EGT's probably wont be an issue I'd imagine.

    RPM limit

    My truck doesn't even have a temp gauge for exhaust temps but I do appreciate the info.

    Brand new to the fourm...Have a question

    Another Thanks for the info, I plan to use the edt to help with lubrication unless there is something others like better. I have two 100 gallon transfer tanks that I want to store fuel in for use in the truck, a standby generator and an old front loader backhoe and I want to make sure the fuel...

    RPM limit

    Thank you for the replies, coming from the big displacement engines I guess I'm just use to never revving them too high. I can't imagine letting her go to 3500, let alone 3800, It may only have 140k on the odometer but I have no clue if that's accurate and it's still a 31 year old engine and all...

    RPM limit

    've looked around and haven't seen any posts about the rpm limits of the 7.3 IDI. The tach caution line is set at 3400 but that seems extremely high to me. I had my 88 F-350 5 speed on the highway yesterday and got up to 65 mph with the tach reading 2400 ish but that engine sounded like it was...
