    What do you like about you IDI?

    I don't like that the 7.3's cylinder walls are thin, however, even without taking care of the cooling system, they last a long time

    Super Hard start after repairs

    After I replaced my return lines and caps, it took a month or so before it would start-up without turning over several seconds. I think the new caps and o-rings take a little bit of running to seal good enough to prevent air from entering the system? give it a few days..maybe a week. They will...

    Valley Pan grommet....

    I would say someone tried to make something work. The grommet that comes with replacement gasket sets, will not fit our 93-94 IDI factory turbo pedestal. Nebraska is showing the correct grommet. You have to buy it seperatly from ATS or someone ( body armor??).

    turbo pedistal drain to intake gasket no longer avalible

    The kit I recieved from ATS has the correct gromment !!!!!!!! The gromment in the Fel-Pro gasket set is NOT the correct gromment for the factory waste-gated turbo.

    turbo pedistal drain to intake gasket no longer avalible

    The newer factory installed turbo with wastegate, it is smaller than the supplied intake gromment from fel-pro. The older add on non-waste-gated turbo has a bigger drain tube and fits the factory size crd gromment. This is what I have determined from ATS. ATS has a kit for both.

    Weird Starting?

    I'm having hard starting when hot issues also. It was bad enough to where I would give it a shot of WD-40 to start it. Brand new starter, batteries, and even heavy duty jumper cables and no start. It helped to let it idle for a few seconds be fore shutting it off.

    Trying to get my turbo off

    go to this link, click at the 93-94. It has a nice color picture section on how to remove the turbo...best write-up I've seen. http://www.forddoctorsdts.com/articles/article-06-08.php

    Advise on pulling a big load!

    That weight will not kill your truck. Start out slow. Keep an eye on the pyrometer. I would think it will do as good as the GM 6.5. I'm not sure what to say about rpms. I have an auto(overdrive) with 4.10 gears, I run around 2,000 RPMs.

    Got a 1994 7.3 IDI factory turbo

    Check the timming also. Mine was off and it didn't look like the bolts on the pump had ever been touched(factory paint). A little off makes a LOT of differance. I think you got a steal of a price!!

    You may want to try another boost guage, for a back-up reading.

    low sulfur fuels are bad??

    Why yes I do remember regular gas.... and yes we lost the lubricity for the valve seats. I haven't torn down my 75 int scout engine to see what damage has occurred, not that there is none, but I don't really know too many that have. I guess a chat with some local shops (mostly older rigs in our...
