    Tearing down my old block

    i just completed a swap on my truck, and was going to scrap the old longblock but I figured id see if there was any interest for the parts. The block was a 93 turbo block that was removed due to excessive oil consumption, possible due to leaking valve seals. the engine ran fine otherwise. All...

    will powerstroke starters fit my idi?

    I need a new starter for my 1993 f350 7.3 idi turbo 5speed. I currently have the long direct drive starter. Are the direct drive ones better than the offset ones I see for sale or not? Also, will a starter off a powerstroke fit my truck? What starters do you guys recommend? Thanks for the help.

    lots of smoke on startup and rough idle?

    My truck seems to be developing a timing/ip/injector problem. If I let the truck sit overnight and its a cold morning out, it will start up first crank and idle smooth with very little smoke. However, if its a warm morning or its been less than a few hours since it was shut off, it will pour...

    Rough idle and smoke

    Ive been noticing a pattern developing with my 93 F350 7.3 IDI turbo. If I start the truck up first thing in the morning and it is cold enough to turn on the cold advance on the IP, it will start up and idle perfectly with no smoke. However, as soon as it kicks off, it will start to miss and...

    After driving my truck, usually within the first fifteen minutes of driving both my abs and brake lights come on on the dash. I dont have any leaks that I can find, i never add brake fluid, and my brakes seem to work fine. what seems to be happening is the brakes work great until the light comes...

I rebuilt the ZF5 trans myself, installed boost, pyro, and oil pressure gauges, turned my pump up a few flats, and made a custom sidepipe out or 3.5" 6.0 exhaust and a MBRP 4" stainless tip i got for free. As far as my gauges go, do these...

    Trucks burning a lot of oil

    My 93 F350 7.3 IDI factory turbo 115000 miles is burning about a quart of oil every 200 miles. It doesnt leak much, but you can see blue smoke especially at startup. I tried cleaning the CDR, but I think it got worse after that (no i didnt use compressed air, only a gas bath and air dry). What...

    7.3 only getting 8mpg?

    My bosses '99 F550 6spd manual 4.88 rears only gets 8mpg. Now im not expecting spectacular mpg with those rears and since its always towing a load, but I think it can do better. One thing that might have something to do with it is that I found the sensor that plugs into the bottom of the airbox...
