Injector Washers
Does anyone know a source for/common size for the copper washers that seal the injectors? I want to pull mine and inspect the tips/clean after a couple years of WMO. I don't think I have any issues, but I want to see what's been going on. Anyhow, I can only find those washers in a format that...- PossumTruck

Evaluating used Banks truck
On Sunday, I will be looking at a 1990 7.3 with a Banks kit added. This would be my first turbo anything so I have no experience or expectations - while I am comfortable with evaluating the rest of the engine and truck. Any tips on what to look for in a potentially-problematic turbo unit?- PossumTruck

Ran 25% w85 in my torpedo heater.
I've seen this topic over the years, but rarely in the posts I've read has there been a conclusion. Today I added a mix of 50%w85 (processed) and 50%1202 into a half-gone tank of kerosene. It ran normal. No smell or smoke. The unit is advertised as a Kero/diesel heater from dynaglo. Ambient was...- PossumTruck

Stuck Glow Plug - Success
Well, here is another stuck glow plug post. I finally got it out after owning the truck for 4-ish years. When I bought the beast, 3 of 8 GPs were stuck. 2 came out with the visegrip/wire/hammer method, but the rear on the driver's side was a ****** and there just wasn't room to get a good swing...- PossumTruck

Kerosene is cheaper than diesel. How much can I add to WMO?
So I went to get some kero today for a couple heaters, and to my shock it is a dollar a gallon cheaper than diesel (here). For cold-weather, I was planning to run up to 50% diesel and 50%w80 in my main tank (start and stop on separate diesel tank). I also did some research and cannot find the...- PossumTruck

FSS failure - A few Questions
Almost was stranded last night - walked into the store, 5 min later walked out and crank/no start. OOF. Poured a bottle of water on the IP to see if I was finally at that stage - no dice. Started wiggling wires on the IP and still nothing. Guy is asking me if I need a jump - no buddy, I got...- PossumTruck

T-19 gear ratios and shift points
(I have no tach, so MPH is really my gauge) What exactly are the shift points for a 6.9L with a t-19? Specifically, I'm working through losing a power bad in the 3-4 shift. At one point, I was doing research and was told about 35 mph was the high end for 3rd gear. I knew that wasn't right...- PossumTruck

New water separator with Duralift
The water separator on my 6.9 has been bypassed since I acquired it several years ago. In that time, I replaced a facet cube with a Duralift (what it had when I got it, was getting starvation symptoms). I have now purchased an aftermarket water separator/filter to run with the factory filter...- PossumTruck

Actually retrieving WMO
So I understand the concept of asking folks and getting the ok to take raw WMO from a shop. A question I have, as a know-nothing, is: how to you get the oil out of the shop? Do you bring/rig a pump to your own container? Leave a barrel/take a barrel? If you have to take a container/barrel full...- PossumTruck
