    '94 IDIT. Is it supposed to have dingers for key in ignition and lights on?

    Cool. So I just have to learn then. Fun! Thanks!

    '94 IDIT. Is it supposed to have dingers for key in ignition and lights on?

    I've drained the batteries to zero by accidentally leaving the key in the ignition overnight and almost forgot to turn off the headlights today. I expect the vehicle to ding at me when I do such things, so I'm still getting used to it not warning me. Is this something that originally...

    Does the CDR blowby need filtering?

    I know about search. I've tried and it doesn't work too well if you aren't sure what you are asking. Like all search functions... Thanks for the tip on the tech articles. Looked over them and I will likely be looking at them often :)

    Does the CDR blowby need filtering?

    Where are said tech articles? My biggest issue with this truck is that someone butchered it and I cant find easy access to what it should look like... If you know something that can address that, I'd be quite happy.

    Does the CDR blowby need filtering?

    Hmm... It definitely loots like a CDR? If it's not, what is it and why does it smoke like one?

    Does the CDR blowby need filtering?

    The previous owner tore out the stock intake setup and used what looks like a plastic dryer hose to attach a "performance" air filter. This means my CDR just dumps all the blowby into the engine bay. The smoke slowly wafts up my windshield and makes it so it need to clean it a ton, the air...

    '94 IDIT. Good glow plugs?

    Gotcha. Motorcraft it is then. Hopefully this is the sum total of my stupid tax for leaving the key in the on position for 3 days... Thanks guys!

    '94 IDIT. Good glow plugs?

    Thanks! Beru any better than the Motorcraft ones? If not, I'll just grab the Motocraft ones since they are easy to find.

    '94 IDIT. Good glow plugs?

    I'm like 95% sure my glow plugs have gone bad and need replacing. I can easily find some Motorcraft replacements but wondering if I anyone knows of better replacements out there.

    94 idit. Anyone able to give me some pictures of the wiper pump wiring?

    Thanks man! Based on your description I think I know where they are stuffed. Hopefully there is the only 2 wires so I don't have to guess...

    94 idit. Anyone able to give me some pictures of the wiper pump wiring?

    I know that... I have no idea where the wiring physically is. I was hoping for a quick picture so I have an idea of where to look for the wiring. I'm going to have to splice in my own cables somewhere just so I can get it to work. Whatever the wiring was before, its now been cut and tucked away...

    94 idit. Anyone able to give me some pictures of the wiper pump wiring?

    No idea why, but one of the previous owners removed the wiper pump and I think cut the wiper pump wiring. I have obtained a new tank and pump, but I can't for the life of me find good pictures so I can determine where to wire it back up. I have an EVTM but it doesn't help much when, as far as I...

    1994 7.3 IDIT. Possible to buy new brake calipers?

    Everything I've been able to find so far is remans. What I got now is just super super rusty and is in real danger of seizing or blowing under pressure and I'd prefer new when I fix it. Also, not terribly important but are there any good conversion kits for the rear brakes? I know drums are...

    Is there a preffered engine oil for a 94 IDIT?

    Cool. Thanks much!

    Is there a preffered engine oil for a 94 IDIT?

    Going with Delo 400 for now. I want to run a strong synthetic a few times just to clean the engine, but currently I can't afford to patch any leaks that might result... And ofc, once cleaned I'll return to Delo or similar since apparently these trucks can't go all that far on oil anyways...

    Are there really 5 brake bleeder valves?

    Well... ****. It's a different size valve for me than the rest but whatever. I guess I need to find tools of the right size and do it it all over. When I bleed the RABS should I rebleed anything again? Thanks for the answer!

    Is there a preffered engine oil for a 94 IDIT?

    Sweet! I don't care too much about the extra oil either but the better filtering? **** yeah! Sign me up! First up for me is engine oil! I'll probably go with the high end royal purple or amsoil. Given the mileage on this, I'd like to agitate leaks if they are going to happen and then fix them...

    Are there really 5 brake bleeder valves?

    1994 7.3L IDIT I recently redid the front 3 lines and the master cylinder so I bled the 4 valves at the tires. Recently, I seem to have found a 5th bleeder valve on the "block" that sends brake fluid to the rear. Does it also need bleeding?

    Is there a preffered engine oil for a 94 IDIT?

    Well... That bit about the coolant is good to know. I'll be sure to do that sooner rather than later. And yeah, when I do get around to wheels and tires (missing spare tire and the wheels be rusty) I was going to get heavy duty tires. One last thing I have as a question: I've seen some...

    Is there a preffered engine oil for a 94 IDIT?

    "Drink?" You mean burn it off or something? And since I realized I left this out, engine is a 7.3L IDIT if that changes anything. ... Whoops. As I'm new to this stuff almost entirely, whats an oil fortifier used for?

    Is there a preffered engine oil for a 94 IDIT?

    Just bought this wonderful beast of a truck and got it back on the road (had brake issues). With that coming to a close I need to do a complete fluid change. Seems Mercon V for the transmission and typical gear oil (plus friction modifier) for the diffs. What about engine oil though...? I...
