    IDI to 7.3 Conversion

    So I found a manual 4x4 trans from a wrecked 89 F250 IDI for $500. The tailshaft housing will work on my zf5 if I shave down the shift rail. And the guy made me an offer I couldn't refuse so I will not be doing the conversion. He traded me a 95 CC F350 7.3 PSD 2WD with only 198k miles on it and...

    93 F350 Glow Plug Relay Clicking

    Thanks guys, I replaced the relay from some IDI parts I have laying around and disconnected the white wire temporarily. Truck still starts cold after about 15 seconds of cranking..... I will jump on the glow plugs this weekend.

    93 F350 Glow Plug Relay Clicking

    So I have a problem with my 93 F350 7.3 IDI. Thought I heard a relay clicking constantly while the engine was running. And the smell of melting plastic lead me to this.... A well done glow plug relay. Would a bad glow-plug cause the relay to constantly cycle?

    IDI to 7.3 Conversion

    I meant IDM........... Been under the hood of too many 6.0's hahaha. I can confirm the the tail shaft housing is completely FUBAR. Broke all the way around and is missing a few small pieces. At this point I am just going to do the swap and figure out the trans when it is the last thing left to...

    IDI to 7.3 Conversion

    I have two Manual PSD PCMs. Was going to flash one over to auto myself. It's just an eeprom and I have done this myself on my 06 Volkswagen TDI when I did and EGR delete.

    IDI to 7.3 Conversion

    Got a wrecked 215k mile 97 F350 7.3 PSD 4x4 with a Manual trans. And I am going to put the 7.3 with harness, EMC, FICM, and dash into my 94 7.3 IDI F350 auto crew cab. Only problem is that the ZF5 tail housing is busted and I am not to keen on buying one for what Ebay sellers are asking. How...

    96 F250 PCM IDM Question

    So I bought the last Re-manufactured MasterPro ECC2526 96 F250 manual PCM on O'Reillys for $212 Shipped. Sourcing an IDM will be next and then I must find a good manual trans. I have an E4OD in the F350 and was wondering how complicated would it be to wire the auto harness into the manual PSD...

    96 F250 PCM IDM Question

    So I have an opportunity to pickup a wrecked 96 F250 7.3 PSD for $600 cash plus my old Chevy 76 C30 farmtruck. The only catch is that the PCM and IDM have already been sold for parts. I am wanting to put this into my 94 F350 crew cab w/ 7.3 IDI, but I would need to source the PCM and IDM. My...

    94 F350 White smoke low compression

    All cylinders on the passenger side still had a visible crosshatch, and the lifter valley looked clean. I took off both of the Cylinder#8 valve springs and the intake valve had significant moment. The exhaust valve barely had any play in it and the exhaust valve stem seal crumbled apart. There...

    94 F350 White smoke low compression

    So I did the compression test on cylinders 5 and 7 with charged batteries. Cyl 5 went from 350 to 420 and cyl 7 went from 200 to 250. Used a little oil in cyl 7 to check the rings and the psi stayed at 250. I did notice that one of the valve springs seemed to slightly "wiggle" when turning over...

    94 F350 White smoke low compression

    Yes, definitely a chuffing sound from the exhaust. I posted on here not to long ago and fixed the smoke by advancing the injection pump. Truck has probably been driven less that 10 miles after that and sat for a week. Started smoking again which led to the compression test. Here is a video of...

    94 F350 White smoke low compression

    White smoke came back after advancing the injection pump. It would start clean, and then start smoking after 5 seconds. After considering new injectors, I got off my ass and did a compression test.... --Back-- 200-|-400 350-|-380 380-|-420 418-|-380 -Front- Is it worth even going any...

    1994 F350 IDI Non Turbo

    I'm no expert, but I don't think that's right. She is running a bit too retarded it seems. So I set it to about the same distance, but advanced.... and the smoke is gone! Guys, I cannot believe it was that frigging easy! I just ordered a water pump (could move the fan side to side and it has a...

    1994 F350 IDI Non Turbo

    Hey thanks for all the tips and advice. So Salahdoor, your saying to advance the pump a little? That's by turning it to the passenger side, right? I will try that when I get off work today. So I did the cracked injectors line test over the weekend and each one affected idle. And I don't know...

    1994 F350 IDI Non Turbo

    Hello folks! Just got an automatic 330K+ 94 F350 Dually, that is having some severe smoking issues. Truck has a popping misfire sound under acceleration that clears up when in the top gears. Replaced the fuel filter, injector return line kit, and the thermostat. Truck also intermittently...
