    idi parts compatibility with PSD

    Hi there, I have a 1992 idi that is about junk now and I am in the process of parting with. I am debating selling it for pennies or salvaging parts and scrapping/parting the rest out. My question is: What would be worth keeping off of the idi that would be compatible with my 96 PSD? Cheers!

    Rotella 15w40 vs Rotella 15w40 Full Synthetic

    Simple questions: Which one is better for the 6.9 IDI ? Any advantage of using one over the other ? Anyone use the Rotella of either "blend" ? Reason for asking is that I'm due for an oil change and I can get a gallon of Rotella 15w40 for $12.50. The Synthetic is obviously a little more...

    Temp sender replacement

    So I installed a turbo (Hypermax) on my '93 7.3 IDI and that's working pretty well (need to adjust it a little because I'm only getting up to 7 psi of boost, but for now that's ok) but since I installed it I've always had the Engine Temp light turned on on my dash. I didn't think much about it...

    Differences between the 6.9 and the 7.3.

    I have an opportunity to buy a couple of 7.3 IDI engines. In a previous post I asked about pulling the heads off of my 6.9 in the truck. I bought an ARP headstud kit, a head gasket kit and an intake manifold gasket. I know that the head studs won’t interchange because of thread size. Might the...

Something poked a hole in my radiator as I was driving it and started to lose power and when I stopped it was blowing the coolant out of the hole in the radiator. I let it cool and refilled it and restated it but now I have a...
