    Self regulating glow plugs

    Idibronco, are the motocraft plugs you use self regulating? Also, is there any chance you've got a part number for those? Everything I'm finding for 6.9 Motorcraft plugs look like the threads are a lot different than the 7.3 plugs

    Self regulating glow plugs

    In theory that works. Not If you go to long though, lol. I just figure as long as I'm gonna have to do plugs again I might as well get the self regulators, if I can. The harness also has to be replaced because the connectors are quite beat up. So either way I'll be pulling the harness. I just...

    Self regulating glow plugs

    Hey all I just rigged up a manual switch for my gp's and went and burned em up. I guess I was heating the gp's too long cuz now they're all toast. Only 1 shows resistance, the others show exactly 0 resistance. Anyways, my dad pointed me in the direction of self regulating glow plugs...

    Power glow plugs thru a switch straight from the battery?

    Thanks for all the advice. Sounds like I have quite a few options here that I'll have to look into. I'm in no rush to get this project done at the moment, considering the current automatic system is still functioning, and I have a few more pressing projects to take care of on the truck before I...

    Power glow plugs thru a switch straight from the battery?

    IDIBRONCO, thanks for all the help. I'll have to mess with that when i get the chance. For now the controller and relay are doing their jobs, so I'm in no hurry First I have to get the gas out of the rear tank that my wife accidentally put in there... but that's a whole other thread lol

    Gas in the tank...

    Thanks for the input everyone. gnathv, I think about 5 gallons of gas went in before I noticed and got the pump shut off

    Gas in the tank...

    Hey all, To make a long story short, my wife accidentally put gasoline in the rear tank of my 1990 f250 7.3idi. We were moving both of the trucks and she doesn't drive standard transmissions so I was driving the Chevy and she was in the Ford. Fortunately, I noticed it before she was done...

    Power glow plugs thru a switch straight from the battery?

    Thanks for the info. I guess I was right, stupid idea. Figured it was worth asking though. So if I understand you correctly all I have to do is run the white wire off the relay to one side of the switch, and ground the other side of the switch somewhere under the dash? Also, I assume I want...

    Power glow plugs thru a switch straight from the battery?

    Hey all, I just bought a 1990 7.3 with an ATS turbo. Haven't had one of these trucks in years because, unfortunately, I bought my first one as a stupid 18 year old and ruined it. So I sold it to a guy who wanted the zf-5 out of it. And I've kicked myself over that ever since. But now I...

    7.3 idi cracked head?

    Hey all, Got a question for y'all. First some back story. 1991 f250 7.3 idi overheated just over a month ago. I thought I had just ran it out of coolant, so I filled the radiator back up with water after work so I could get home. Drove it for almost a month with no issues, then it...

    Also, can anyone tell me when it is appropriate to start a new thread, or when I should continue asking questions on the same one? I think I have two or three threads going right now pertaining to this transmission swap, but all covering slightly different aspects of the swap. Should I have just...

    What are the chances the throwout bearing or clutch fork aren't aligned correctly and causing resistance to the pressure plate? Sent from my moto g(7) play using Tapatalk

    e4od to zf5 wiring...

    All 5 speed parts. New master and slave, both for a 5 speed. I believe the issue lies somewhere between the clutch pedal and the throw out bearing. The entire clutch system worked flawlessly in the donor truck. This leads me to believe it has to do with fault hydraulics, as those are the only...

    I finally got it started and running and tried to take it for a drive and the doesn't seem to want to engage. I can shift into any gear I want including reverse but the clutch slips really bad. I know the clutch is fine and I'm pretty sure everything is installed correctly. It seems to be a...

    Thanks ks everyone for the help. I found the wires to jump and she started cranking. Still have to button a few things up but she's almost roadworthy Sent from my moto g(7) play using Tapatalk

    e4od to zf5 wiring...

    I ended up also bypassing that clutch safety switch deal. I realized I was confused about what it was because most of the forums I found on the issue were about slightly newer trucks, in which the clutch safety switch is mounted to the master cylinder. However bypassing it still won't allow the...

    How did you determine how long to get it lengthened to? Sent from my moto g(7) play using Tapatalk

    I don't see any green plugs in the manual truck. It is an 87. The 91 (formerly automatic, now manual) has the three plugs you are talking about. I tried putting the manual lever position switch into neutral so I could tie it up to the frame but still no start. There is a wierd switch/ sensor on...

    Does that mean I can remove the computer mounted into the firewall, as well as all of the wires that come out of it? Or will this cause other issues?

    e4od to zf5 wiring...

    I didn't keep the auto column and ask the linkages came out with the help of an angle grinder. I don't think tying it into neutral is an option. I am curious about this neutral safely switch deal. To be clear this is not the switch on the clutch pedal, right? I did plug that in. So if I...

    Hey all, Got the e4od to zf5 swap done. The mechanical aspect of it, that is. Unfortunately the truck wont start. I have read up on this a lot, and I think I can fix it while leaving the e4od wiring installed. However, if not too difficult, I would prefer to swap the zf5 wiring into the...

    E4OD to ZF5 swap... Here goes nothing!

    Hey all, Just started the E4OD to ZF5 swap and all I need is a rear driveline. I have a while parts truck, but it's a single cab and the truck the ZF5 is going into is an extended cab. So unfortunately neither of the rear driveline I have will work. I plan to hit a few junkyards after work...
