Hi All,
New to the forum and learning on my 92 7.3 idi f250 with a ats turbo kit from the dealer. Truck has about 130K miles and I have owned it for about 1.5 years now.
Attempting to locate or purchase a cdr grommet part number:
Ford : F3TZ-6A892-B
International : 1813249c1
Both obsolete and discontinued. This is the rubber grommet that connects the intake tube off the air filter housing to the CDR valve on the Driver side. It is a specialized part as it has a rubber collar to clamp to the cdr. The cdr has a very small lip on its base to connect anything to it.
My other option is welding a small 1" pipe to extend the lip and slip on a rubber hose onto it. The old grommet was leaking oil as it was old/original and torn at the collar.
I want to keep things original so any help would greatly be appreciated.
Also chasing an issue with the WTS light not turning on when key is on. This used to work fine but early Nov it stopped working as far as I can tell. I replaced 6 of the 8 GPs with factory replacements. I couldn't get to the 2 GPS under the turbo on the Pass side- its too tight (any tricks to this other than turbo removal would be appreciated). In doing the plugs, the harness bullet connectors began to fall apart- so I repaired those as well.
Still no WTS light. So I replaced the Gp controller with a new OEM motorcraft/International controller with relay. I tested the controller, smoked a little due to what I believe was handling from my hands on the main bar that sends voltage to the GPs. I probed it and it does appear to send 10-12V to the glow plugs for several seconds before clicking off. I do not see the WTS light though(I still need to probe the wire that sends the signal to the light). Could the light bulb itself have gone bad? If I try turning the engine over will it activate this light momentarily like the water in fuel light? Currently have not started the motor for about a month as I go through the engine and troubleshoot and replace parts so I forget what lights turn on momentarily.
Recent work I did:
6 of 8 GP replaced OEM
1 piece wix filter WIX
Fuel heating element deleted
New VC gaskets Felpro
New CDR OEM
New Controller/relay OEM
Cleaned/oiled the K&N filter (it was really gunked up)
Oil change with larger filter off the Powerstroke model OEM
Work I need to perform:
Clean up the engine block on the pass side from years of VC leakage.
Connect the CDR to the intake tract
Test the coolant with a test strip to determine if additive is needed
Rear end pinion seal/ RR (its been leaking- I noticed when I removed the bed to install a gooseneck)
