    Eaton Transmission-7.3idi

    Correct me if I'm wrong. But isn't the only benefit of a 10 over a 8 the addition of low and low-low. Seems that a SAE2 8 speed would be easier to come across than a 10.

    Late model Superduty rear end in old OBD F350 IDI diesel

    You can also steel the ring, pinion, and posi carrier out of a 10.50 and install it in your 10.25 housing. That way you don't have to fuss with swapping out the master cylinder or any potential fabrication.

    OIL PAN MODIFICATION FOR COLD WEATHER STARTING

    Had a buddy that was stationed in Alaska. On his gas chevy the engine pan, tranny pan, and coolant all had heaters on them wired into a single plug and ran on a 10ga cord. I can't remember what wattage/amperage it all supposedly added up to but my understanding is it had to be on the special...

    Starting procedure

    My cold start system is intact, I just 'set the choke' so to speak. One smooth motion to the floor and back off, while the glow plugs burn to let the high idle solenoid catch. I have it set for about 900rpm

    DB offset starter review

    I know, another starter thread. I recently replaced the Mitsubishi style starter on our 94 IDIT with the DB denso offset style starter and I have to say it is a massive improvement, think cranks so fast that it doesn't take much more than a split second to light off (at least down to 20F...

    7.3 IDI Turbo fuel mileage after tuned up?

    Mines a 94 IDIT crew cad LWB with E4OD 4.10's and 32.5's I run 50/50 diesel atf on filter changes and a monthly bottle of diesel extreme. 16-18 on highway running 70mph about 2000rpm. With the banks down pipe you can really feel the power band between 1800 and 2400 rpm so I usually run in that...

    How hot is too hot?

    When you run without a thermostat your temp gauge isn't telling a full story. The unregulated coolant rushing threw the block isn't in contact with the coolant jacket long enough to effectively draw the heat out of the metal so even though you see lower coolant temperatures often times the...

    How hot is too hot?

    The bypass 'delete' does make good sense for a all out performance application and I do believe it has been proven in the gasser V8 world to be effective for such. I however disagree with a total diversion to the radiator for something that gets driven on the road like a normal vehicle would be...

    How hot is too hot?

    Do you have a steam line for your turbo? Totally different animal but I had a GM 6.5 service truck turned up on fuel and boost packing 14,000lbs around for 350,000 miles. On long pulls I'd get gas pockets in the head that would cause the Tstat to close up and REALLY get things cooking. After I...

    7.3 idi exhaust

    I'm running a 4 inch straight pipe kit for a 7.3 PSD with the banks downpipe in place of the PSD down pipe. 2 and a half hours to install, 4 inches is a little big. Buuuut, it was cheaper than 3 1/2 at the time cookoo Sounds great though! Really breathes! :Thumbs Up

    Pressure fuge recommendations

    What pressure fuges are you guys running? I'm putting together a 55 or 100gph setup and am curious what's been proven to work

    Twin Turbo 7.3 IDI?

    Putting twins in a 80's f600 shouldn't be to hard, you've got allot more room to work with than on an f350. And if you get the cooling stack from f800 that had a Cummins the intercooler and radiator are plenty big to handle 300+ hp

    How much did your EGT drop with the e99 intercooler?

    Steering is going to put me in a ditch

    I'll second the redhead box's. I've put dozens on customer trucks with nothing but perfect results. Then ofcourse when I get my own it fails in a week :rotflmao. But the warranty was no questions asked and the one in now feels great with 50,000 of 'normal' truck stuff.

    Allison 6 speed transmision?

    Both options are going to be $$$ The allison will need the international sae2 or 3 flywheel housing with matching adapter flywheel (not flexplate). A big external cooler (usually water/oil cooler). A means to down size the driveshaft. Probably need a body lift and some firewall massaging, a...

    Injector Knock? or something else?

    Almost sounds like a valve lifter going dry. If you sit at idle for a long time does that effect the knock? How's your oil pressure? Level? Temp? Does it do it when it's cold or only after a good warming up? Got any weird smoke out the tailpipe?

    Allison 6 speed transmision?

    All the 6 speeds should be double overdrive .75 for 5th .65 for 6th.

    Allison 6 speed transmision?

    I've thought of doing this swap as well but with a 3000-4000 series sense they're easier to find the SAE 2 bellhousing that can typically still be found for our idi's. We have 10 trucks running the 3500's behind 8.3 Cummins (325 horse tune) that typically operate at 35 to 45 thousand pounds...

    Can we talk suspension parts?

    I'll second the "napa chassis" line of napa parts. For what it's worth when the shop I work at started using them nearly exclusively, we almost never had anything come back for warranty work and it stays tight if greased. And they come with a lifetime warranty

    7.3 idi tac issue

    Yes I am referring to the space between the sensor and the pickups on the gear. They can be pretty sensitive to how close they need to be to work properly. So much so that even getting an extra quarter turn on them can help this problem, or even the difference between a hot and cold motor can...

    Nice bricknose CCLB for sale on Seattle CL

    For being a 'coast truck' that thing looks mint. My buddies 97 obs came from that area, that thing had a disturbing amount of rust

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    The only 'good' wood I can easily get is juniper, outside of that we got pine, pine, and other pine. I'm only about 4 hours from there, over in La Pine. Should have plenty of wood for this year though, Fremont national forests opened up there wood cutting areas for 12 cords without permits...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    went out wood cutting. Got about 1 1/4 cord of lodgepole pine (only dam thing that grows around here) once the truck squats down to the overloads it rides pretty well. :Thumbs Up

    7.3 idi tac issue

    Sounds like an air gap issue, if it looks like the timing cover has been off might be worth making sure whoever's did it prior assembled it properly
