    To diesel or not to diesel...

    As some of you know I was forced to sell off my truck almost 2 years ago due to a commute to a new job I just couldn't afford to use it for. In the time since, my now-wife and I bought a house and got married last June, so I'm now 11 miles from work instead of 40, and my '97 Camry beater...

    60 trim hybrid turbo

    Hey guys, I dug out this hybrid that I forgot I have and I'm putting it up for sale. This is a 60 trim T04E hybrid turbo I bought off ebay. It has a T3 Stage III turbine wheel which means it would work with the turbine housing with most of the wastegated kits (don't know which turbo setups...

    Goldenrod filter assembly

    I was digging through some stuff and found a new Goldenrold filter assembly I forgot I had. It's the water block model with 3/4" fittings and is new, never used. I'll take $35 shipped for it. Also I still have a set of Bosch glow plugs, a set of injectors, a partial Rotunda tool set and I...

    I sold my truck last saturday...

    I didn't officially post it with everything else going on...but, I officially sold my truck last Saturday. It was an interesting couple days as evidenced by the "help needed" posts I put on here. A gentleman flew down from Boston to buy my truck. I picked him up at the airport in the truck...

    Ugh...Murphy is kicking my ass! Need help, again!

    OK, I posted last night about how the battery light was on. I put the truck on a charger for a couple hours tonight, started it up to pick up this fellow that wanted to buy the truck, it was off, I figured I was golden. I go to the airport to pick the guy up, get him, turn the key to...

    Need a little help/advice ASAP

    OK...This is one of those Murphy's Law things, what a surprise. Anyway... Had a guy call me earlier that wants to fly here from Boston tomorrow evening to buy my truck. A couple hours after I talked to him I figured I'd try to clean it up a little more and get it ready. I ran out to...

    A couple things for sale

    Well, since I'm selling my truck and I'm hard up for money lately I've decided to sell a few things I don't have much use for anymore. Injector pop tester: Built this out of a NOS hand-operated hydraulic pump. Includes all the fittings you need (basically), I had it set up as shown with a...

    Selling my truck... '94 F-250 4x4 Turbo

    I have owned this truck for 4 years and it has been a great truck. I have put a fair bit of work into it. It has only 114,000 miles on it. Inspection is good until 5/12. This truck is a 7.3 IDI turbo diesel, backed by a 5 speed manual transmission and a manual transfer case. The axles have...

    Radiator replacement Q's

    I've had a radiator laying around for a couple years now (mine leaks). Finally ordered some hoses to do it because I think the top one is starting to split. Question I had: Is it possible to unbolt the shroud and just slide it back to get the radiator out? Or does the fan have to come off...

    Improving mileage

    I'm looking for some general tips on improving mileage. Anything that you know that works or worked for you. Stuff beyond the usual-pumping up the tires, keeping speeds down, etc. What sucks is that I have a set of 3.55 gears- but not enough confidence to install them myself & not sure if...

    OK, how do I fix this?

    Well here's the deal...the red plastic piece on my throttle cable is/was really brittle, and a piece had broken off it previously so the cable would bind up sometimes and I couldn't get full throttle. So, in my infinite wisdom I decided to mess with it and I think I made it worse. See below...

    Can I install used injectors with a new IP?

    Given all the problems I seem to be having with my new injectors, I happened to think about swapping in the old injectors and see how the truck runs. They're originals with 110K on them. I was planning to at least run them through the pop tester to make sure they weren't garbage (I don't...

    Who else got and installed Uhaul injectors?

    If you did, how were your results with them? Did you pop test & balance them beforehand or no? I've come to the conclusion that mine are just crap. Besides the fact that I evidently have mixed G and BB code injectors, the truck idles like crap with them in and barely does better on mileage...

    How "off" could things be with mismatched code injectors?

    I bought a set of Uhaul injectors, went through and balanced them at roughly 1900-2000 psi. At the time I guess I didn't pay real close attention but by looking at a couple of the pintles I thought I had ended up with all G-codes. Well, I put everything back together and the truck was idling...

    Oh my...considering possibly parting with my truck.

    Well...I didn't think it would happen but the day has come that I've been pondering possibly selling my truck. I just got a job that will require roughly a 40-45 mile commute, each way. I have my Mustang to drive while the weather is still nice but when the winter months come...well, the...

    So I've hardly been here lately

    I was a pretty regular poster but I haven't been here much at all lately. Part of the reason is that I got this:D And haven't been driving my truck as much...but I've also been busy...I lost a job, moved, got a job, lost that one too, moved again...been a little crazy lately. My truck's...

    Truck running differently since IP/injector R&R

    Looking for some insight on this because it has me wondering. A few weeks ago I did my IP & injector R&R on my truck. Uhaul IP & injectors. Also worth noting is that the injectors were apparently G codes, not BB's, from looking at the pintles that icanfixall had posted up in his video. I pop...

    Timing

    I need some help with my timing. How do I know when it's "right?" I feel kinda stupid, I bought a Ferret timing adapter but I still don't know exactly where the timing is on my engine with my new IP and injectors because I can't make out any marks on the timing marker. So basically here's the...

    Ahhhh fudge...need some help...blue smoke after IP & injector R&R

    I did my uhaul injector & IP replacement today, got everything buttoned back up and worked on it for a bit to bleed the air out of the system. I got the truck fired up except I'm seeing 3 problems now: #1- It runs kinda rough and sounds like it's barely idling when not on fast idle #2- It's...

    Those of you with uhaul injectors...

    I had thought the common consensus was that the uhaul injectors were BB codes. However I watched icanfixall's video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcSuxjmzEcI&feature=related and found out that mine are apparently G codes because they have the "stepped" pintles. Oh well. If...

    How to remove IP with lines still attached?

    I started on my IP/injector replacement project today. I got the IP unbolted and loose and all the inector lines detached. As it is, I slid the IP back with all the lines attached, finagled it around a little, and it is literally about 1/16 of an inch from coming out except the very nose of...

    Well it took me 3 years...

    But, my recent unemployment has allowed me some spare time so I finally got a chance to install my rear fender patch panels and my fender flares, both of which I've had since the fall of 2008. Sheesh! I didn't do the prettiest job on the rear fenders mostly because I knew the flares would...

    Injector pop psi question

    OK, so I got my tester rigged up today and tested my u-haul injectors and they tested as such: #1-1800 psi #2-1850 psi #3-1850 psi #4-1900 psi #5-1800 psi #6-1800 psi #7-1800 psi #8-1950 psi Now, #8 is the injector that has caused me some concern. Besides the fact that it pops...

    My sophistercated pop tester!

    After all the frustration I had with trying to get a jack to work, I got mad and decided to just buy a hydraulic pump. I found a guy selling these beauties on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230532393255&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT So all told it cost me about $73...
