    Ok, Injector cups replaced/all well but now have smoke

    Is this something I should be concerned about? We have everything back together and have flushed the coolant system, but when doing the test drives we are noticing a boat load of white smoke that does dissappear after about 5 minutes or so, but when we start it back up later, the smoke is there...

    Which coolant is the best to use?

    I found this website which states: For all you PowerStroke owners: The answer to your coolant additives is CAT EXTENDED LIFE COOLANT. This is a premixed coolant for all engines with cavitations problems. Just flush out other coolant. Takes approx 5 1/2 gals @ approx $6.00 per gal. All the...

    My last truck was a 6.9er

    We currently have a 1985 F250 Reg cab, 4x4.... Her name is SNOT....because the guy we bought her from painted it snot green with cans of spray paint. It is the work truck for our construction company. Only had 63,000 original miles. I think it may have about 75,000 on it now, probably not...

    Can anyone tell me what to use to clean the injector tips?

    Well, after a couple beam/DIETcoke, I have discovered we have not 8 injectors, but I think last count was 28..........LOL Hubby has returned with the little wires and he is now torquing down the injectors to start putting everything back where it belongs.... Once those are torqued down...

    Can anyone tell me what to use to clean the injector tips?

    Lordy, I hope it don't take 3 more days. I MISS DRIVING MY TRUCK. As soon as we realized what the problem was, we pulled her off the road. She hasnt been on the road since before Thanksgiving. Had to wait for the tools to get here that Dan over at TDS loaned to us, then had to wait to see...

    Can anyone tell me what to use to clean the injector tips?

    Well, looks like the only thing we are missing in getting this thing back together today is the female pins for replacing the wires on the wiring harness. The company that was supposed to get them in 3 weeks ago, still does not have them. So today hubby is making a 2 hours, one way trek to...

    Can anyone tell me what to use to clean the injector tips?

    Thanks, it truly is a nice ride... I just found out from the previous owner that he kinda scammed me.... He told me that he had different injectors in it, giving it more power (I reckon something simular to Stage 1's) when we were working out the details of my purchasing the truck. He now...

    Can anyone tell me what to use to clean the injector tips?

    Forgot to add, the truck currently has about 118,000 miles on it. I don't think the injectors are bad, as I have never had a lack of power, but the reason for replacing the cups was because about 3 days after changing the oil/filters, etc, we noticed a puddle under the truck. At first we...

    Can anyone tell me what to use to clean the injector tips?

    YES, The intercooler is in the truck, just not hooked up. He said we would just need some pipe to hook it up? Again, something new to us, so gotta figure out how to do it. Hubby is really getting into working on this truck and is now anxiously awaiting ya'lls response on the injectors.... I...

    Ok, I just took a bunch of pics of 2 of the injectors, with close ups of the tips, but instead of tying up space here, I will post a link to where you can go to see them, but I will post a couple here. You can go to http://http://photobucket.com/albums/v330/Baydancer/Injectors/ to see the...

    Can anyone tell me what to use to clean the injector tips?

    Well, the picture in my avatar is the picture that was sent to me before I bought the truck. In that picture it had a 9"+ lift and 17" tires on it. I had him lower it 3" and change the tires to 16"... When it got here, none of my trailers would work with it being so high, so we took it in...

    Can anyone tell me what to use to clean the injector tips?

    We just want to clean off the crap that is on the tip of the injector. There is some residue, I am sure from the diesel/coolant mixture, and there is some, I guess it is, carbon buildup. We are not going to tackle cleaning the innards of the injectors unless there is a method for an...

    Can anyone tell me what to use to clean the injector tips?

    We are in the process of R&R of the injector cups in our 1997 F350 CC, and there is a small amount of what I guess to be some type of build up on a couple of the injectors. My question is what we can safely use to remove that build up before reinstalling them? We had to replace the cups...
