    Power steering pump replacement

    Thanks for the input. I dug out my pulley puller today, and it doesn't quite fit in there. But it looks like it might if I loosen the fan shroud and move it a bit, so I'll try that first. It's still going to be awkward getting it in there. My puller kit has the installation studs, so...

    Power steering pump replacement

    I need to replace my power steering pump and hoses. It's a 93 with the serp belt setup. Do I need to remove the bracket that holds the AC compressor and PS pump? It doesn't look like there's enough room between the pump pully and radiator shroud to get a puller on it. Also, who makes a good...

    Voltage to cold advance/idle soleniods

    Should I be getting a full 12 volts at the cold advance and idle solenoids? I'm getting about 10.25 volts. Would that be considered a normal drop across the temperature sensor that controls those? They're working, but maybe not to the full extent they're supposed to? I'm getting full voltage...

    Rough starts at higher elevation

    Hello All, I was having some trouble with cold starts that I believe was due to air intrusion. I got that all buttoned up (new return lines, olives, rubber hose on lift pump, etc.), and now at home (about 700ft elevation) it starts great and idles smooth right away with just at hint of smoke...

    Is my fuel selection valve fubar?

    I've never dealt with those quick connect fittings before. Can the o-rings be replaced?

    Is my fuel selection valve fubar?

    It does happen on both tanks. It seems like it's a little worse on the front tank, but it's hard to say for sure. I think everything downstream of the lift pump is pretty tight. No signs of leakage anywhere, new return lines, new olives in the hard lines, put clear lines off the filter header...

    Is my fuel selection valve fubar?

    Hi All, I'm trying to track down an air intrusion problem, and I think I have it narrowed down to pre-lift pump. The truck starts right up, but then stumbles for maybe 20-30 seconds before it smooths out. I have a section of clear hose installed on the inlet of the lift pump. When I first...

    Rough idle on warm start

    It sure feels like air, although I would expect that to affect my cold starts as well. I haven't checked the connections from the tanks to the lift pump, so I guess that'll be my next step.

    Rough idle on warm start

    I'm getting a rough idle and smoke when starting after the truck has sitting for awhile, like an hour or so. Once it settles down, the idle is fine. Cold starts are no problem, fires right up and idles smooth. I thought maybe air intrusion, so I replaced the return lines. Didn't seem to make...

    7.3 idi coolant issues

    I'd double and triple check the thermostat housing before tearing into a head gasket replacement. I had the same thing happening a few weeks ago. It was leaking on the back side of the thermostat housing. It looked like a head gasket leak the way the coolant was running down the seam between...

    Oil drain plug thread count

    Hello all. I changed my oil the other day and put a new washer on the pan plug, and now it's leaking. So I'm going to pull it and try another washer, but I want to be sure to have a bolt ready to put in temporarily so I don't lose all my new oil. So... the plug is 1/2" (right?), but I'm not...

    Best to replace all the glow plugs? One bad one found

    Yes... plug #7 under the turbo looks impossible, but it isn't. I posted this after doing mine earlier this year: http://www.oilburners.net/forums/showthread.php?61486-Glow-plug-replacement-for-a-first-timer&highlight=

    new tires?

    That's good to hear about the LTX M/S 2. I got a set last September. I'll be taking them up to the snow tomorrow for the first time.

    Glow plug replacement for a first timer

    It had the factory original Berus in it. I've had the truck since it was a pup, so it's helpful knowing the whole history of what has/hasn't been done to it.

    Glow plug replacement for a first timer

    I really appreciate the wealth of information that is shared on this board and I’ve learned a lot, but I don’t post here often because... well, quite frankly, I don’t feel like I have that much to contribute. However, last weekend I replaced my glow plugs and thought I might share some tips for...

    ATS Slip fit insanity

    I agree! Without a doubt, the one thing that caused me the most grief when replacing my clutch was the downpipe. I ended up using a propane torch on the turbo outlet. Heat, wiggle, heat, wiggle, etc... Eventually it popped right out.
