    Brake issue after pulling engine

    All right guys i think i finally figured this one out. When i pulled the engine i broke one of the ports on the vacuum manifold and sealed it with jb weld. When i moved the hose that originally went there to a different port i didn't realize that the new port had a smaller hole, this didn't...

    Brake issue after pulling engine

    Happening tomorrow Yes brakes worked perfectly before (even with the old leaky booster). The only thing that "changed" was I cracked one of the ports on the vac manifold, covered it with JB weld and repositioned the hose on one of the unused ports. Perhaps my jb weld fix was no good and it's...

    Brake issue after pulling engine

    Unfortunately this did not solve my brake issue. The booster did need replacing though. The old one was pretty corroded and had an old leak. The hissing sound at the pedal stopped but the symptoms persist. Symptom - (all within a 10 second period) 1st brake press works great, truck reacts...

    Brake issue after pulling engine

    I think my issue is directly related to the brake booster which I'm getting today. I will report back and let you guys know if that solved it

    Brake issue after pulling engine

    I think you guys are right about a vac leak. I replaced one hose that was there before the engine pull but that hose leads to 2 ends that are no connected anywhere. Can you guys take a look and help with where these two ends are supposed to go? I taped both ends to see if it would help but no...

    Brake issue after pulling engine

    Hoping you guys can help with a brake bleed issue that I'm having. I recently pulled my engine and have put it back in. Engine is running fine, however, now the brake pedal has all the symptoms of air in the brake system, but I can't figure how that could have happened. The first time I pumped...

    I'll verify that. Is there a proper placement for this small tube that runs underneath the air filter?

    How bad is the HG job on a 7.3 IDI?

    Alright guys I got it started! Unfortunately it's making a weird thump/ticking sound. Really hoping it's not anything major. Please take a look at the video. The air intake is making a loud sound like someone beating a hand drum along with a ticking sound at the same time. When I partially block...

    How bad is the HG job on a 7.3 IDI?

    I think it's fully primed stream comes out without any air. What's annoying me is my battery keeps dying. They're new from Costco. But all that cranking is killing them

    How bad is the HG job on a 7.3 IDI?

    Alright guys, I got a crank and no start. I went through all the fuel lines and did find loose injectors that were bubbling, took them out and some were missing the coper washers, guess those fell out along the way? Fuel leaks are gone but still no start. I purged the air from the valve while...

    Can I do without the vac lines? What's the worst that could happen if those aren't hooked up? Any opinion on using a radiator flush fluids?

    Alright guys, im almost at the point where I can almost turn the truck on and see if it doesn't just blow up.. ha. I have a few last questions I hope.. Pic one shows a connection I cant locate. It's on the same cable where the 2 connectors to the fuel filter are, can anyone take a look and let...

    How bad is the HG job on a 7.3 IDI?

    It wasn't bolted onto the engine they were butted up but the trans was on its own jack. I was able to get them properly aligned and bolted in. Hopefully there's no damage

    How bad is the HG job on a 7.3 IDI?

    Ok guys, I got the engine into the frame, 2 studs on both sides so i know it' set where it's supposed to be. I really thought that was going to be way easier. Im having trouble with getting the bellhousing to align perfectly and even worse, getting the torque convertor studs on the flex plate...

    How bad is the HG job on a 7.3 IDI?

    Alright guys so I got the harmonic balancer installed after reading Nick Piscas write up. He mentions it having to be .125" from the oil pan edge. Mine gives a few readings. At around 9 o'clock (passenger side) it reads about .2565" away from oil pan, at 6 o'clock most bottom edge, it is .1750"...

    Thanks! I destroyed my AC condenser while removing the engine and have a new coming today. How bad is it evacuating the system and recharging? Is this a shop type of job?

    How bad is it if I switch up the push rods or put the side that was on the rocker on the other end? Forgot to number them or keep track of where they originally went

    How bad is the HG job on a 7.3 IDI?

    Thanks I'm in the L.A. area. Lots of these trucks in this area so I wouldn't be surprised if there are members here. Couldn't have done it without the help of the fine people here. Got the oil pan back on but have misplaced that little nipple thing the dipstick goes into. Also did the front...
