ford 7.3l rep

[sootman73]

lookin into buying an OBS 7.3l with ins money from a 94 idi. what things should i check when looking at the motor. i know to check everything else drivetrain wise. i know the psd is much more complex than an di. never worked on anything but idi's. looking for some pointers and warning signs. thanks!

if it misses at higher rpms no load that is a bad sign. i shopped around and found a bunch on psd trucks with a miss before i found my 99.

is that an injector problem or a problem with the high pressure oil system?

its a sign the HPOP is running out of oil
