93cc7.3
needs turbo power
so i replaced my glow plugs around 10 months ago paid good money for a full set of motorcraft zd9's.
truck did great of along while then around the mid/end of summer i had harder starts then about last month i noticed very short glow times even with the colder temps.
so i got 2 plugs all i could afford at the time and tested my plugs found exactly two bad ones !!! how lucky is that so i replaced them glow time went up with slightly better starts for two days then glow time went back down and harder starts.
re tested out of 8 including the two new 4 bad so i called up speedway autoparts they warrantied all 8 even the two i already paid for
so i installed 8 new berus today starts are ok still takes like 15+ seconds the motor turned over 320k yesterday so i cant expect it to be perfect but ive got 2 new optima yelllow top battries good wires and a brand new db electrical gear reduction starter and i have no air intrusions with my carrier electric lift pump plumbed in parrel with my mechanical lift pump and ive got a third battery in the bed a 850 cca something-another
im thinking low compression is probably a factor here so im going to start trying to clean up the rings with small doses of seafoam over the course of a few months to slowly break down any coking from running high percentages of waste oil
also im going to do a manual bypass on my glow plug controller because im not sure why my zd9's burned out so quick and iwant to make sure the controller isnt at fault which i know isnt common with the 7.3 system but i guess theres always a chance.
any ideas thoughts or otherwise.... sorry kinda a long winded rant
