    Been a while... no start

    Just an update, mostly to help build the knowledge base. Checked the ICP, connector filled with oil, pods showed 165 Lbs cranking, before and after new ICP, replaced IPR, still no start. Unplugged the ICP to hopefully force the issue, still no start. This week I’ll pull the valve covers to...

    2001 7.3 very hard starting issue

    If you’ve never changed the glow plugs I would start there. The reason for the “eventual” faster crank is due to the build of oil pressure.

    Transmission temperature

    Not completely familiar with the 6.7's yet, so pardon me if it seems I'm high jacking the thread. Is there a dip stick on these trannies, or are you at the mercy of the dealership to check your fluid, shy of getting under your truck and using a special service tool to insert it in a drain hole...

    Noise in roof

    I had this issue on a Bronco II, there was just enough flexing the sheet metal to cause a buckling sound. If this is what you are experiencing, there is a simple fix that I used. I purchased some roof tape, its rubber adhesive on one side aluminum foil on the other. I taped the inside of...

    Albuquerque, New Mexico:

    Lots of outdoor activities are available ... One of the nice things is ORV quads are not overly frowned upon as they are here in the NW. Only a few lakes around that are worth fishing, and boating in. Elephant Butte is the largest... about the size of lake Samamash... just very few trees...

    What is this? Came with my trucks keys....

    The "spiked" ends fit into your hand crank for lowering the spare tire, the other side is the "Keyed" side, with out this you would have to cut your tire down to get at it..

    Easy base line check for the turbo... does it spin easily with you fingers?... any noise?... if your getting fuel outside the engine then you have a leak.. and you need to find it before trying to start your truck... the noise or tapping sound could have been from the injector (S) running out...

    Help Needed Tapping sound, Bad Bad Bad smoke

    Did you fill the intersection with White or Black Smoke?... Black would lead to the Loss of boost as mentioned earlier, White could be several things, Loss of H-Pop, or Blown Rings on an injector, this could introduce coolant to the cylinder, that would give you a ton of white smoke , and...
