Thanks

I have a few 5 gal cans for filling my tractor and I was contemplating the build of the cans while slowly filling them past the flame arrestors. Correct me if I am wrong, but is there a point to the flame arrestor they put in those cans? Are they just there in case some idiot uses it for gasoline?

I just performed a fuel filter swap on my '23 f350 diesel. I just followed the instruction and didn't know you are also supposed to loosen the bolts while the drain is open to cancel the siphon effect.

Anyways, I accidentally drained out about 10 litres of fuel into buckets before I cracked the bolts open. The buckets weren't too clean since I wasn't expecting potentially reusable fuel to come out. I transferred the fuel into cleaner containers for storage. I was wondering what the best (and cost effecient) way to filter the diesel out to re use in one of the old tractors (Ford 3600).

Simple coarse then finer strainer from the dollar store, or through paper? Anything I could do about any water? Winter is here so I have some time on my hands for this.

TL;DR : 200km driven brand new car but engine oil is darker than amber. should we accept the delivery or not. My friend was about to buy a CRETA DIESEL with the 1.5 crdi turbo. Upon checking the oil during the pre-delivery inspection, he noticed the engine oil was darker than amber, which it shouldn't have been in a brand new car. The thing is where we live, the cars have to be driven to get them in showrooms so all the cars already have about 200km on them. But he doesn't think oil should be so dark in 200km. now he's unsure what to do and has delayed the delivery a couple of days. please help. (i remembered an old trick which was that if the oil doesn't stick to fingers then its alright. did that and oil came off fingers instantly)

'02 7.3

I was driving and the truck lost power, started bucking (thought the torque converter was toast) and was blowing white smoke.

Pulled over and shut it off. After about 5 minutes started back up and was normal again. Was thankfully able to get it home.

I did about 10 miles prior was forced to run down to E with the fuel light on, and had to get about 10 gallons from a less than great looking fuel station. I'm thinking the fuel pump filters in the tank were clogged, and maybe shutting it off let whatever was blocking it fall back down into the tank.

I'm gonna pull the fuel filter and check to make sure the fuel bowl fills up quickly, use my scan tool to check the IPR duty cycle etc after work today.

Anyone else have any suggestions? Intermittent issues are the worst!

Hey everyone, i have a 2000 f350 with the 7.3. The other day i noticed it was leaking alot of oil. I tool a look at it and it looked like it was coming from the hpop. It felt like it was coming from the bottom so i changed the main gasket and dpuble checked the o ring all looked good. Yes even the non serviceable plug. I didnt take out the ipr so my guess is that the check ball is still inside.

After re installing and adding about 6 qts of oil. Im getting crank no start.

When cranking the monitor reads Ipr- 65% Icp- 71 psi max

I changed the sensors out from another truck i have and still no change and it still leaks. I found the leak was from the serviceable plig and have a full kit of o rings, a new non serviceable plug, and check ball on the way.

Based on that , based on that what do you guys think is the culprit for the crank no start?

Im removing the hpop tonight to have it ready to go when the o rings come in.

Trucks sat since winter of 2020. Fuel had been treated. Other than that it was just parked. New radiator, new intercooler.

I plan on changing all filters. Fuel, oil filter and oil, tranny screw on, and air. Then changing the oil again in a hundred miles or so. checking the transmission fluid. Putting fresh batteries in it. Putting fresh diesel in it. My one concern tbat needs some input is fuel tank. Would you guys flush or drop it? If just flush how would you go about it? And anything to prepare for besides a plate to choke the air if it starts to run away? Thanks ahead gang.

What do yall know about them 🤔

Hello Everyone, I could use some help. I have a 2006 F-550 6.0, I just redid my oil cooler on my truck and I put everything back together and it ran and drove fine then parked it but now it won’t start.

So I went though and scanned it and it had various codes to do with the IPR and the IPC I went through the wiring and the harness and got those codes to go away. I replaced the IPR as well, Still no start I have 1300 psi at the HPOP, 333 on the LPOP, 48 volts and no codes anymore but it just cranks and cranks and cranks.

Everything is plugged in but I’m still clueless as to what could be. If you guys could give me any leads as to what could be wrong I’d appreciate it.

Looking for a good place to get a long block assembly. Picked up an 06 5.9 with a nasty rod knock. Tore in the motor and found this for my #1 crank bearing. Crankshaft is beat up cam is bad tapets are bad mains are scored and #6 had a cracked ring with light scuffing in the wall. It does however have new injectors new turbo arp head studs and a couple other small goodies.

So I posted here around a year ago about my 6.5 and got a lot of feedback but now the truck has run into some real issues, it always hard started but ran great after. Anyway to make a long story short it blew the radiator and water pump at the same time going up the mountain to my brothers and went nuclear. Ever since then it’s started like absolute garbage and it likes to get real hot real fast if you do anything that requires more than just flat cruising. I don’t believe it’s a blown head gasket because there are no mixed fluids and the coolant doesn’t have air in it and it sounded like it had an injector knocking VERY slightly. Fast forward to today, I put new ac delco professional injectors in it (torqued to spec) and a set of new return lines and it knocks way way worse than it did before, is this a bad injector out of the box or an indicator of something else like an injection pump? Sorry I’m not great at using Reddit but I have a video, I just don’t know how to add it to the post

So it’s got new “High flow” Water pump Thermostat Larger aluminum radiator Injectors Return lines Glow plug controller Glow plugs

I like the design of Opel Tigra A but i do not like the engine. Is it possible to swap the 1.4 petrol engine with a 1.9 diesel ZDTH19 engine? Is it going to be an expensive swap? What should I know before I do it?

Does anybody run their exhaust brake all of the time? The little bit of research that I did on it showed some saying it's OK and to do it to keep everything with the VGT ok. Others were saying to not do it because it can damage the engine or other parts. I have a 16 Ram 2500 6.7 and can run full exhaust brake or automatic exhaust brake.

hello! i’m looking to replace my glow plugs in my ‘95 Benz E300D but no clue to what to buy or even where! any other information unfortunately i have no clue. if anyone knows or recommends any it would be greatly appreciated!

I’m looking into buying a 2007 f450 as a welding rig for $5,000 it’s fully set up and has a crane in it, seems like a great deal. It’s a 6.0L power stroke. It needs an o ring replaced in the high pressure oil pump so I’d have to get it towed and work on it … problem is is there 311,000 kms on it and I know jack shit about diesel engines just stuff I’ve heard on the YouTube .. wondering if it’s worth trying to push 400-500k out of it out would it be more trouble than anything… my other options is a 2007 f250 but no bed just chassis so I’d have to put a bed on it but it only has 111,000km he wants $3500 for that one and it has no issues so far . What do you guys think, thank you for your opinion anything is helpful!

So this is the first winter I’ve had with a diesel truck and I live in the northern part of the US and I was wondering what everyone else runs in their truck now that it’s starting to get cold out?? How often are you changing it and how often?

I’m taking my L5P down to the states from Canada. Was wondering what the non-restrictive states for weight loss were down there before I finalized my plan. Not going to California.

I know this is isn’t an easy repair but that’s what I got quoted to replace my 2002 gmc 3500s 6.6 Duramax injectors. They said there’s some one time use parts and it’s not easy access. 12k is blowing my mind when you can buy a reman engine for that much. What are your thoughts on the quote? Injectors are definitely failing.

Im getting ready to sell my 2017 f350 4x4 with 180,000 I don't know what to price it at.

Hey guys so a few weeks ago I did a pm and greased my drive line. I also greased my trans release bearing. I think I over greased the release bearing (some call it throw out bearing.)

I’ve always had normal operation. This morning I had a heavy load of lumber and when I was on the highway I had to give it some ass to get moving up a hill. When I did that temporarily the transmission slipped. It didn’t register a code but it slipped. So I drove home empty 200 miles and took off the inspection plate.

Sure the clutch is a little on the worn side but still okay I think based on the wear indicator it’s roughly halfway.

Is there any way to decrease the whole clutch? I was thinking break cleaner but idk what that would do to the pads. Let me know if you have any ideas. Don’t want to drop the trans.

Hey all. 1996 f250, just replaced both batteries and all glow plugs. Started truck to ensure batteries worked and I wasn’t having a battery wiring issue, truck was on for about 1 minute before I shut it off and noticed one of the studs on the relay was smoking. Can anyone tell me if this is normal for the stud to get that hot, what would cause the stud to get that hot? and what all I am looking at? I can’t find any real clear diagrams online so far.

I have a 1999 f350 dually with the 7.3 in it my owners manual doesn't have my motor as an option and google is all over the place with the payload capacity just seeing if anyone knows for sure thank you
