    Few questions on a 97 7.3l

    Thanks guys. I need to pull it to replace the oil pan. I know a good diesel shop that doesn't charge me anything for pop testing of injectors. I for sure will do a compression test first. Thanks for the info.

    Few questions on a 97 7.3l

    Injector? Does anybody think that a bad injector would cause these issues? I need to pull the motor to re-seal the oil pan and rear main, so I could easily check all the injectors.

    Few questions on a 97 7.3l

    Hey guys I am working on a 97 7.3 psd that doesn't run right at start up. It smokes blue until warm up and stalls when the throttle is released suddenly, but it will start right back up and idle. While it is idleing there is a slight vibration and when you hammer down there is a stutter...

    Whats your opinion

    I know how that feels. I looked at trucks at my dealer for an hour while they installed the cruise control recall harness. No sales personel asked me anything. They must get paid by the hour.

    Gotta love Jasper........

    No new news here. We put a E40D trans in a E350 with a 460 gas that shifted very slow. Slipping erratically. They sent us a new trans and while replacing it you have to drain the fluid, there were 4 valve body bolts laying in the pan and the 5th was loose.

    ? Buying 04 6.0 w/ SnoPlow...questions

    I know all about salt and corrosion. I bought a plow truck that had been to hell and back. All the bolts on the manifold were 2-3 sizes smaller than they should have been from the rust. With a lot of work the truck is fine, but it did take alot of work. I don't think that rust would have...

    Tranny malfunction.

    Possibly the speed sensor. I have had these problems in E series trucks. We also replaced the od button and works fine. You need to scan for codes first off because there are other parts that can cause this problem.

    The Best Things You Have Found On The Road

    I never find bid items, but the little things for some reason stick out the most. I find alot of items in catch basins along the road when we are cleaning them. Also find many items in the sweeper dirt pile. Lately I got an aluminum diesel tank cap for a big rig, and tools. I still think my...

    99 f-350 mods on 7.3 psd

    I think it is a pretty good price because I just put a Banks exhaust system on a 97 F450 with a 460 gasser that cost $2,000. The kit was all stainless including headers, muffler, y pipe, and tail pipe.

    Pics of the Smashed Tailgate

    Bama the gate looks sweet. Do you look in to a step gate at all? I bet they were a lot more expensive. As for the bondo my tail gate has some and could have used some more. I am fine with it though because you can't even tell where I put it.

    I'm in a pinch

    I have been searching for 06 and 07 E series diesels, but they are all gone. If there are stock units out there they have already been accounted for. I agree with you guys about how stupid Ford is to give up the E series diesel. There is a new E series design that looks like the superduties...

    floor jack?

    Get a bottle jack. A 3 1/2 ton jack will not budge my E350, but a 5 ton will.

    I'm in a pinch

    Guys I need help with a decision. I found out the other day that ford is no longer using a diesel in the E series trucks right now because the 6.4 will not fit. I need another new truck and I will not buy a GM or Dodge. I like the diesel option in my 06 E350. The truck needs to be an E...

    This will make you sick.

    Doesn't scare me about buying an 08. In fact I would like to have a truck that you can remove the cab like that.

    best way to paint bare metal?

    If you have the ability of paint guns, prime with an etching primer or urathane sealer (sherwin williams prime shield). Then paint with polyurathane paint (dupont cintari 5000) and it will be good.

    My 06 towing a 7,000 lb trailer, today, was running at 180-200 degrees on the trans. and the egt was around 800-1000. The cooling fan kept coming on every 2-5 miles.

    The math does not add up....

    What the heck do you need a D9 for? My neighbor next to my shop is an excavation company and has a couple D8's and many D4-D6. Just curious of your use.
