My 1993 7.3 N/A for the longest time has had an IP that is sluggish. 28sec 0-60. Used to have OK power but lately has been sluggish. Fuel screw is untouched. Don’t want to mess up my truck.
Ima try some more atf but I just ran some not too long ago. When it’s warm it’ll sound like it’s missing...
The old gasket came off, & at first I replaced the oil filter cuz I thought the filter gasket was leaking then I looked closer, & saw where it was coming from.
My 7.3 is leaking a ton of oil in a weird spot from the front of the motor. Resealed the oil cooler a year ago, & has been fine until about 2K miles ago since last oil change.
After I put fresh oil in the truck 15-40 Rotella she started to leak abt a quart every 50 miles. Then 6 months ago...
Later that day I was able to retard the timing a lot, & the smoke went down. But when I accelerate it still smokes black just not a thick ploom, & starts ok, but seems like it needs to be advanced.
Ur yeah ur probably right, it needs a new IP sadly. She runs a lot smoother, a tad bit more...
For the longest time I knew my Injectors were starting to fail cuz the smoke has been getting progressively worse, & down on power. Abt 2wks ago I advanced the timing a tad, & it’s been starting better, but recently abt 5hrs ago replaced the injectors with a rebuilt set, & she runs better, but...
I recently purchased a truck that has no driveshaft. The previous owner did an axle swap but put a gasser 3.55 instead of a Diesel.
The one without the driveshaft attached is the smaller one, & the one with the strap is for the Diesel.
I’m trying to figure out what I’d need to do, & I’m scared...
If I look into the filler hole I can see little bits, & chunks of stuff in my cooling slots. Then I see the tops of em that look to be partially corroded from the coolant. Before I replaced my fan clutch, & my thermostat I power washed part of my radiator, & it helped a tad.
I rebuilt my oil cooler 6-8 months ago, drained my coolant, & filled with fresh. The old stuff came out nice, & clean. The coolant side of things in the oil cooler was clean, & did not seem to have excessive buildup.
There’s times I’ll get on it in 4th & stay in it up a hill rolling black smoke...
I’ve got a 1993 7.3 idi NA with an overheating issue. I’ve replaced the fan clutch, & thermostat with good quality parts. OEM Motorcraft thermostat was installed to prevent this.
Truck ran great, except for when I get on it up a hill. I’m running 50/50 atf to diesel with a tad of wmo. Truck has...
