    Trailer running lights not working??

    Over the past year I've had my left and right turning and power lines fail on my hitch in rapid succession. I just ran new wires and spliced from the back lights.

    Just a warning about wmo & colder weather

    When I experimented with wmo/atf a few years back I found that my gpo's needed replacing at least 2x a year.

    Did not expect an electric fuel pump to be such an improvement!

    I had trouble maintaining reliable psi with 5's and 13's i changed over to FASS 14psi pumps and never looked back.

    what kind of deals you got worked out for your WMO?

    A few years back before I converted to WVO I experimented extensively with WMO and acquiring it. Most mechanics have to pay to dispose of the oils - if you present yourself as trusty worthy person they will most likely agree to give it to you. I found that ATF was the prize - it burns much...

    Edge CTS Programmer/monitor

    Sorry I missed your post till now, I could've eased your pain earlier :) Yeah the theft thingie got me the first time too! LOL p.s. the mileage gauge in the center top console lies, you should do your calculations by hand, they tend to differ a great deal from what the truck says...

    EXCURSION

    I'd be worried, so much so that you should give me this guy's phone number so I can swing by with a pocket of cash to inspect it myself! :sly

    Thinking about a WMO set up.

    Howdy, I don't know how well a bubbler will work through used motor oil, it tends to be more viscous than waste vegetable oil. The maximum psi for a steel drum is about 10 psi - they can and do bulge as well - it is reported to be a dangerous proposition. You're probably better off using a...

    PSD question-asking here because theres not much traffic in the PSD forum......

    The donor vehicle is a 1st gen PSD, the recipient is a 2nd Gen PSD - different animals in many respects. Did your friend replace the electronics as well?

    Hate my drivetrain. What's my best option?

    Let's keep in mind most of the folks on the thread are mostly 1st Gen PSD or IDI folks. The 7.3 X is a 2nd Gen PSD. The top of the fuel bowl indeed has an FPR, it's contained in the return outlet. You can replace the outlet housing with a more durable steel one from Bob's O-Rings they come...

    Beru?

    About 4 years back there was a sale at Autozone and they were like $1.50 each I bought 40 of them, think I still have 8 sticks left :) Recently though the best price I've seen for them new is EBAY, around $9.00ea

    Incredible vehicle 1983 f-250 6.9l IDI

    The engine has good compression. 2 year old injectors, year old glow plugs, a 9.5 BTDC tuned IP, 13psi Walbro fuel pump, 1 year old starter and two Optima gel 1,000ca batteries that are 2 years old. Probably less than 1k in upgrades. If you're having cold start issues, these are the things to...

    Incredible vehicle 1983 f-250 6.9l IDI

    No matter what she starts on a dime. -20f? Hasn't been started in 6 months? First compression stroke. Damn I love my IDI. I don't take it out much these days, just sits in the yard under the pine tree...but I'll be damned if it's not the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned - we'll forget...

    Do any of you know if the 03' 7.3 was available with the Bauer trim package?

    Excursion owners... question

    I'm sure that with a little ingenuity one could change the crossbars to lift off the roof if you cared. a 200lb roof rack is largely useless to me, although I've considered getting a safari basket to carry rubberised luggage bags up there...

    Thanks! I refuse to call my dealer any longer, they're putzes.

    I'm looking to put a safari basket on mine, have you looked up the load specs for the bars? I cannot seem to find them anywhere!

    HOwdy-Do Folks

    It's been a while since I posted. Guess ye' olde 1984 6.9 just doesn't cause any trouble! It starts on a dime in the dead of winter, it purrs like a kitten when idling and generally is the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. (of course we'll all forget that debacle on the the first road...

    parting out a 2003 450 7.3

    I wonder if the hard lines into the fuel bowl on a van are the same as on my 01' X 7.3... If so I would pay for the two hard lines into the fuel bowl and the fuel bowl. The hard lines stop being hard somewhere above the front driver's axle. The supply is bolted to the engine by a bracket...

    What SCA is recommended for the PSD?

    I run CAT ELC in my 01' 7.3 and a coolant filter with no SCAs and green in the 84' 6.9 with a 4 unit coolant filter. Works for me - it's scary the crap flying around in my PSD's cooling system and even the reman'd engine in the 84' with 120k on it. I can only imagine that removing the sediment...

    CAT ELC?

    I use ELC in my 01' PSD I use green with an SCA coolant filter in the IDI. I flushed my PSD with distilled water several times before going to ELC, dropped the 1/4" block plugs too. It's expensive stuff, but it's really the best. Just use green and get a WIX coolant filter in line with SCA's.
