    Engine Build

    That's not bad at all considering we (as a salvage yard), are getting $4500-5500 out of 100K+ used engines.

    97 super duty running bad cold

    The truck in question is not mine. It is completely stock with the acception of a straight pipe. BTW... the new injectors, GP's, and UVC gaskets and harness is from Pensecloa diesel... on the the super kits. When I first installed all hardware, it had 3 dead cylinders. Drove the heck out of it...

    97 super duty running bad cold

    UVC gasket and harness are new. IPR runs about 15-17% at idle... 35-36% at 65 MPH, which is around 2600 RPM's. It doesn't change when the miss goes away.

    97 super duty running bad cold

    On cold start up, it has what sounds like a dead miss, than after about 8-9 miles, it's like you flip a switch, and it runs great. The high pressure oil stays the same, ruling out a possible "O-ring", BTW.... it has re-man injectors in it, about 1 month old. Before they were put in, it had...

    Temperature gauge isn't working

    Ground the sensor wire to check the gauge.... may not be sensor.

    Tranny service

    This is just my opinion.... If you are having troubles with a tranny, then you absolutely change the filter with a fluid change.... which usually by then it's too late anyway. If you are just doing PM work.... then a flush is the way to go. I have yet to find a filter with a bunch of trash in...

    '99 Ford F350 7.3L Powerstroke

    Fuel in the coolant is more than likely injector sleeves.

    water pump 7.3

    One thing to remember on ALL fan clutches.... whichever direction the fan has to turn to move air, is the direction you have to turn the nut to loosen. Hope that helps.

    Compressor wheel ID.

    Not to highjack.... just wanting a little more info. I've been told that the early 99's had a "factory equivelent" to a WW... then all was changed due to turbo whistle. Is this accurate? Will the fins be unequal length as mentioned above. My truck also is missing the insulation off the IC...

    Gauge questions

    I have a line on a 3 gauge pod, with ISSPRO gauges. Boost, pyro, tranny temp (6 spd manual). It is in an 04 with a 6.0, and I believe that a sensor or T is missing from the boost gauge (vac hose to map cut). My question is.... are these gauge set-ups from ISSPRO vehicle specific? I don't think...

    Fuel Leak

    +2 on the banjo bolt, hose clamps on one of the 3 hoses coming out the front of the pump, a corroded/rusted Y pipe under the intake side of the turbo.

    Water in Fuel light?

    I've got a TSperformance chip that wasn't built for my truck. If I plug it in, it will trun on the WIF light. When I unplug the chip, it goes out. Try that on yours. If it goes out, I'd call them to see if this is a problem they are having.

    New Member 7.3 litre International motor

    The company I work for owns a SD rollback with a 7.3. It has 277K, getting ready to turn 278K. It is geared low (3000 rpm's at 75 mph), and we usually run it like that all the time. It has God knows how many hours on it due to working wrecks, stucks, jumps etc. It's not a real powerhouse...

    WOW.... $123.... is that the correct price?

    99 7.3 Won't start

    Any results yet? If not, check to see if it has an Intake Air Temp sensor (not sure on a 99). I was diagnosing an ambulance in the shop a while ago, that had the same cranking caracteristics as what you have. Kinda hit and miss, with thick black smoke. Got to checking and found the IAT sensor...

    Help Needed fender above exhaust keeps turning black

    I did this to one of our wreckers, to try to get smoke away from the vehicle in tow.... right rear wheel is usually black by the time it's time to fill up:D

    Turbo Surge

    So my 99 already has the WW from factory? Build date is 02/08. It hasn't given me any fits as far as turbo/engine surge. Starting to get a little oil seap from the turbo stand/EPB actuator. Thanks.

    rear axle anti-sway bar

    You might try a salvage yard. You could probably pick up a complete unit with hardware for 100 or less.... if you have a good yard near you.

    smoky starting

    And try to test with the valve cover on firtst. Unplug the harness, and test the outer 4 pins in the connector. If you have an open or a short.... then you can pull the VC.

    Help Needed Amazing deal on 2006 CC 4x4 but salvage due b/c it was stolen(need advice)

    I work for a large salvage yard in NE Missouri. We sell salvage title vehicles all the time, with no problems on license or insurance. If our body shop does the repares before the sale, most of the banks around here will even give full loan value of the vehicle. As stated above, if it was just a...

    smoky starting

    Even though your WTS light goes out, your glow plugs are still being energized, length of time being determined on ambient air temps. Have timed mine up to 90 seconds, even though light went out after 10 seconds.

    Boost Question

    You can hear the turbo and really start feeling it pull starting at 1600-1700 on my '99. I rarely take it over 2500-2600 before shifting gears.... simply because it will handle the next higher gear with no problems.

    MBRP exhaust

    It did work on my truck.... but wasn't right. It would turn on my water in fuel light. I guess I need to give them a call to see what I have and what they may be able to do for me. Not sure of the positions either.... It seems like it has 12 positions on the knob..... the most I have seen is 6...

    MBRP exhaust

    :tounge :lmao I guess that's the good thing about working for a large salvage yard. I will keep my eyes open though.... as we get some sort of system in every 4-6 months. Also came across a TS Performance 6 position chip.... came out of an '01 with an automatic though. Anyone know if they...
