    I FIX ONE THING, ANOTHER BREAKS... HELP

    Ok it fired up and runs! Not sure which repair we did fixed it, but it works. True to form, now we have other issues... ABS light is on and the turn signals don't work. Anyone want to buy a Ford? 4 years chasing one issue after another. It never ends. By the time I get done replacing...

    I FIX ONE THING, ANOTHER BREAKS... HELP

    So just to recap on everything so far... The truck would barely start and then blow #17 fuse. No power to GPR/FSS or fuel heater. No other fuses blown. Checked twice. Played around with wires in front that we messed with while advancing timing. Re-did a few that looked bad. Truck then...

    I FIX ONE THING, ANOTHER BREAKS... HELP

    So check this out.... I got frustrated and tracked the red and green wire all the way to the fuse box. No issues. I pulled the fuse box apart and saw that there are more than one fuses tied in to red and green wires. I checked the most unlikely one, which is in the number 11 spot, turns out...

    I FIX ONE THING, ANOTHER BREAKS... HELP

    Ya all fuses check out and have power. We took apart the steering column to start tracking down where it's dead. I did find the wire disconnected that connects to the side of the ignition tumbler. Fixed it. No change. It may have caused the original short and thus fried something else, I...

    I FIX ONE THING, ANOTHER BREAKS... HELP

    Actually, I'm thinking about this all wrong... There is a hot lead to the glow plug relay, and another lead that is relayed to the ignition. If the glow plug relay is not coming on, then I need to track down the relayed ignition lead... and find out where it shorted out. Possibly the ignition...

    I FIX ONE THING, ANOTHER BREAKS... HELP

    Thanks for the diagram. The duralift fuel pump is hot wired to the battery, with a relay wired to the old fuel heater. That actually works now. The fuse (breaker) no longer pops, but my glow plugs and Fuel shutoff on the IP do not, so whatever was popping the fuse has now completely burned out...

    I FIX ONE THING, ANOTHER BREAKS... HELP

    It's the weirdest thing. When it first happened the fuse would blow and I would have no power to the glow plugs, the FSS on the IP or the fuel heater. Now I turn the key and I have power to the fuel heater but not the rest, and the fuse won't blow. I can hot wire the FSS and the glow plug...

    I FIX ONE THING, ANOTHER BREAKS... HELP

    I may be calling it wrong... it's the 6th "giant" fuse when counting from the passenger side to drivers side.

    I FIX ONE THING, ANOTHER BREAKS... HELP

    Let me be more specific.... there is power to the glow plug relay but no power coming out of it. Tried a brand new relay, same outcome. I'll go out and try a couple other things now that it's cooling off a little

    I FIX ONE THING, ANOTHER BREAKS... HELP

    I did try disconnecting the fuel heater line, also tried disconnecting my electric fuel pump, the AC line and the tach sensor to the IP. The only thing I didn't try was the alternator. Now I have no power to the glow pug relay and the Fuel shut off, and the breaker is good. 1992 f350 7.3...

    I FIX ONE THING, ANOTHER BREAKS... HELP

    Hey guys, I use my truck to haul water for my house and livestock, any help is greatly appreciated as we have a massive heat wave coming and I'm running out of water... So we pulled the tank and replaced the shower head pickup tube. Great, engine is running ok. The timing seemed off again so...

    has anybody got the instructions for the rotunda 78-0100 timing meter?

    I have the rotunda 78-0100. It does not have the little "for 7.3 diesel" box, just the lumy and magnetic pickup. The directions I have say to time it at 1400 rpm. I got a reading of 2.5. The directions also say that it should be a negative reading, not a positive reading. I'm getting a lot of...

    Injection pump timing

    So I bought the Rotunda from John Scott (thank you very much John!!!). I hooked everything up and got a reading of 2.5, with setting it at -20 before startup. Am I just that good at setting my timing by ear or should I be concerned that there's no way I'm that good? The directions mention...

    Wondering steering......

    It's a Ford. Enough said. Damned things never steer tight. Turn off your truck and have someone turn the wheel back and forth. Where is the play? Is it in the gearbox? Do an adjustment on the gearbox, Google that shit how to do it. Find the play. These damned things are meant to keep you...

    Injection pump timing

    How much??? I'm so sick of not knowing where my timing is

    Injection pump timing

    They want quite a bit for it, $350, is it the best way to get these 7.3 idi's timed? I'm tired of not knowing how far off my timing is, and I already tried to find someone in the Phoenix area that can do it with no luck. Thanks

    Injection pump timing

    Forgive my ignorance, but that meter says it's for Chevy. Does it work just as well on 7.3?

    Injection pump timing

    I found one for sale. It doesn't look like it has the "use for 7.3 engine" part with it. Is that necessary?

    Injection pump timing

    Where did you find the Rotunda?? I've been trying to find someone to time my 7.3 or a meter, seems like these things are all but obsolete

    i am in need of some much needed direction.

    I'd have to agree with 4X4's belong up, not down. Get a 2x and slam it. It never made sense to me to slam a vehicle capable of towing your house, but hey, they do look pretty cool

    IdI Fuel Hardline Delete-Thanks Russ!!

    Didn't know his screen name. Lol. @typ4 thanks for a great product and a very nice set of injectors! I saw an immediate improvement in performance with your injectors. Here's the kicker: the injectors that were in it were already "rebuilt" by a local shop, and then I pulled them out twice...

    Fuel heater delete?

    Just deleted mine yesterday. Put an expanding neoprene plug in it. Doorman helper 02608 I think is the number of it. I posted a pic of it but I don't see my post. Took an hour maybe, but I did some other things too.

    IdI Fuel Hardline Delete-Thanks Russ!!

    So today I was pulling the water fuel separator to fix the infamous fuel heater plug seal leak and decided to install the top side hardline delete kit that i got from Russ' Diesel in Oregon. It was a great fit, plug n play. It makes me kind-of sick because I spent hours trying to make my own...
