    Valve cover wireing connector

    On each connector, the outermost pins are one glowplug each, the center pin is common to the two injectors associated with that connector, and the pins adjacent to the center pin are for one injector each. Cheers!

    Valve cover wireing connector

    You can get just a pigtail (connector with five wires) to splice in. You can also get a repair kit that has the connector shell pieces (the pins are sold separate) and fix it that way. If a connection is burned/melted (goes for either internal connection or external connection), always replace...

    Fuel leak

    I've never done it, but removing some of the accessories may not be that bad. A/C compressor is not that bad to get out of the way and neither is the alternator. Cheers!

    Fuel leak

    Is your bowl drain valve possibly leaking? I know I forgot to close mine once after changing the filter. The fan blew fuel everywhere (a nice mess)! Cheers!

    Fuel leak

    Those are the fuel return lines from each head to the Fuel Pressure Regulator (FPR) on the driver's side of the fuel bowl. I know on my 94, the fittings on the FPR were NPT at the fitting-to-FPR joint (don't overtighten or you will crack the regulator!) and flare at the hose-to fitting. You...

    Fuel leak

    I'll assume you meant oil leak vice fuel if it's coming from one of the HPOP lines. It depends on where the leak is coming from on what the fix would be. If it's at the hose-to-fitting joint, there is no o-ring there since it's a flared fitting and you might have to replace the hose, fitting...

    Help Needed CPS keeps failing! Please help...

    Do a good harness check too. The CPS's aren't showing evidence of being damaged on the sensor surface are they (after you remove them)? There have been some folks that have had cam thrust issues that wipe the sensor face out (I don't think that it's very common though). You may also want to...

    Max Pulling Power

    Intercooler, Stage I injectors, 17* HPOP, and Custom tuned chip should get you there (and maybe e-fuel if you can afford it), but don't forget about the transmission especially if you have an automatic (E4OD). You'll probably need a larger cooler, lines, valve body, and torque converter. I'm...

    Buy 97 7.3 Turbo D no CA smog or?

    97 and earlier diesels do not require smog in California. Cheers!

    Question Flex plate replacement

    In a nutshell, drop the tranny (part of that will be removing the converter mounting nuts that hold it to the flexplate). After that, you would unbolt the flexplate from the engine crankshaft and replace. Cheers!

    Question Big trouble with truck

    Cracked flexplate (not uncommon) or the torque converter. Cheers!

    Hard start '97

    Batteries and starter make a huge difference on these things. The starter performance will degrade over time, but having said that, the injector poppets may be worn where it could be the injectors. If the valvecovers ever happen to be off, he can pull the solenoids off the injectors and...

    stripped head on exhaust manifold bolt ??

    Here's one example: "Craftsman 10 pc. Damaged Bolt/Nut Remover Set, Low Profile Bolt-Out ". I'm not saying they are the correct ones for your effort, its just an example. Cheers!

    stripped head on exhaust manifold bolt ??

    Can you get one of those "bolt extractor" sockets in there? Cheers!

    Down pipe

    Not really. I cut slots in the pinch weld (being careful not to cut too far) and then used a port-a-power to bend it over for the necessary clearance. Cheers!

    97 F Superduty stops running

    AE will work on the OBS trucks (many folks use it). Cheers!

    97 F Superduty stops running

    Also, you may want to check the Injection Pressure Control (IPR) o-rings or some other internal High Pressure Oil System leaks (such as a bad top o-ring on an injector). Hot oil will bypass bad o-rings easier than colder, thicker oil and cause a loss of HP oil pressure. IPR o-rings are a...

    My PCM has a KAM Failure

    Should work fine. They are both for manual trannied trucks. Yours is SOD3 the one you can get is SOD4 (don't know what was changed between versions). Cheers!

    Max Pulling Power with Reliability

    I would add an intercooler, stage I injectors, a custom tuned chip tuned for the injectors, and maybe an HPOP (stock 17 degree would probably handle it, but there are other aftermarket choices such as the Adrenaline, SRP1, and T500). If you wanted a new turbo, a D66 from BDP will drop right in...

    oil pan gasket...

    No gasket, you make your own using TA-31 (the only stuff to use IMO) Here's the sealants to use on these engines: Sealant (Wacker) Intake Plenums: Motorcraft TA-30 (used to be Ford part F7AZ-19554-EA) Everything else (oil pan, etc): Motorcraft TA-31 (used to be Ford part F5TZ-19G204-AB)...

    replacement injectors

    Are you looking to upgrade them to flow more or just looking for rebuilds? Either way, I would check out Rosewood Diesel Shop or Full Force Diesel. Cheers!

    IAT-intake air temp

    P1111 is the system pass code (so there should be no issues there). I don't know why it would mention the IAT with that code??? The IAT codes are 0112 for IAT input low and 0113 for IAT input high. I would bet that you have a problem in the injector wiring (UVCHs, valvecover gaskets, external...

    Electrical Problem

    Also check the wiring from the doors to the cab for all doors. I had a short between the power window circuit and courtesy light circuit in my rear passenger door on the 1994 that caused all kinds of similar problems. Never a bad idea to check out the third brake light on the rear of the cab...
