    Towing - Performance

    I went with the ATS housing, less noise than the WW and cured the surge

    CEL coming on at 2000 RPM

    When towing I set the ICP code all the time, in the hills it rarely has time to reset and go out. If he tows he will get ready for the ATS install to calm that tea kettle under the hood.

    hard start

    bigtow.... See if you have a "shift" key for capitol letters. Also check and see if your keyboard came with the "." and "," keys. Sure would make your posts easier to read. :)

    03 7.3 E350 box truck can i use starting fluid?

    See if you can plug it in to get it started, that let you know that other things are OK and you can get it someplace warm to work on. Can even take a generator if there is now power outlet close.

Have your tried turning the key on and not trying to start for 40 seconds, then turn the key off and back on again for...

    Oil Change Due

    My truck for some reason uses oil when I was running Rotella. Had to do a change with Delo and it didnt use oil. I have idea why. Have used it since then with usage that I would call normal. I havent tried to switch back to see if something changed for the usage to stop. All oil tests at...

    Help Needed pulling in overdrive

    Must be a 90's Chevy driver. Manual states OD is just fine. I tow my 10K TT in OD. With the mods it rarely shifts out. You will actually get the trans hot at speed if you do not tow in OD. If it starts to lug, of you need the power to climb then shift out of OD with the little button on the...

    idle reverse/drive

    How is this "restriction" determined when in neutral? What is it that you are sensing? Need much better descriptions.. Seems like something doesn't help. What is it doing in concrete terms?

    2001 7.3 smoking blue, the whole time its running

    To me sound like the engine is toast, get a rebuild or one from a low miles wreak.

    idle reverse/drive

    Sounds like the transmission is toast. What is the fluid like, I bet it is brown and burnt. If it wasent, it is now from you "testing"

    2001 f250 7.3 smoking blue at low speeds and idle

    Key points... - Hard start when cold with new glow plugs - Blue smoke when started - Cleans up a bit when warm I say worn rings or a dusted engine.. What does the air filter look like? How often has it been changed? Is it a gauze/oil filter like a k&N? Have you made sure it...

    Exaust ?

    Some 7.3's did have CATs, mainly hand shakers, but was just a year or so and I think was 2000's. Muffler is 3-inch pipes, so just cutting it out will get you 85% of a 4-inch system... If you mod teh truck, you will wont 4-inch... 5-inch of you go for hugh injectors and completely modified...

    stock exaust size on a 2001 ford superduty

    Inside the muffler the pipes are 3-inch. That is where most of the restriction is. If you cut out the muffler and add (or not) a straight through 3-1/2 muffler you will get 85% of what a 4-inch exhaust will get you. If you have a modified truck, you will want a 4-inch. If you just want lower...

    Ford recall 1.8M trucks and SUV - 7.3L CPS!! **Main Discussion thread**

    comment 2 Cycle Oil use (Report ?)

    2 stroke works pretty well, adds some lube (most important) and probably some of the aromatics lost with the ULSD. There was a study done by one of the other Diesel pages that was very interesting. Many of the users pitched in to get their favorite additive tested for lube quality, being that...

    CheapAssDiesel Chip on eBay

    Costs more, and is much better to just get a real Chip from Tony Wildman. Improved my towing milage by 2mpg. Pulling 10K TT and was getting 9mpg.. I am sure the intake and exhaust helped too. :)
