Hey guys, i have really been trying to find an answer for this. & i just havent been able to find one.
i baught a 97 7.3 6 months ago. 163,000 it was a show truck. im the 3 owner. i foundout it was actually "built/serviced" literally right beside where i live 20 years ago. was told it was always serviced with Royal purple.
its my first Diesel, & im not sure exactly whats normal & whats not normal.
it leaks oil (im 99.9% from the pedestal, ill be ******** it soon)
it seems the engine will cut in & out ill be driving & you can hear the engine than when i let off the gas its literally quiet as can be than it will pick back up to tone after a second. is this normal?
i just replaced the ICP sensor for the kind of rough idle it just jumped rpms constantly at idle. but that dident seen to fix it.
when im cruising about 30-40 it sounds like my wheel is rubbing off my housing its like a really screech noise, is this just surge? iv took the housing boot off & checked it seemed fine so did the bearings in the rod.
the only mods i have done is 4 inch straight pipe, 6 position chip, intake, gauges.
if yall could give me your input that would be great! thanks guys.
