[QUOTE="evans213, post: 1526981, member: 10023"] So after being out of the 7.3 (and any other diesel) world, Im back in!!! I picked up a 2002 CCSB 4x4 7.3 has a TS 6 position chip, and bully dog air filter and housing(I know nothing about them are they good or bad? I may order a 6637 kit like I used to have on my 97). The original motor dropped a cylinder and the PO put a used motor in that ran good and had good compression. When he did this, about a year and half ago, he also put in new injectors, glow plugs, glow plug relay. 1). It has a continuous cold start issue, if you plug it in it will start after a few cranks and letting the GP warm up a few cycles. I am going to meter check the relay and stuff, as maybe its went bad? If not anything to do with the GP system, where should I go from there? HPOP, IPR, ICP(read bullet 2)? 2). Yesterday while driving it, it just started to loop randomly and didn't through a CEL. I switched the chip over to stock and it continued. I unplugged the ICP and it stopped, plug it back in and it starts back, so I left it unplugged and the truck ran flawlessly. I thought well I could have found the cold start issue. I have a spare ICP I am going to through in it, as the one in it also has oil in it so I know it has to be bad, correct? I left the ICP unplugged and it still has a horrible cold start issue(see bullet 1). It came with the original motor, complete and literally a truck bed of other parts. I am going to completely rebuild the original motor (machined block and heads, injectors, complete rebuild kit, have Rosewoods diesel rebuild the original injectors to stage 1.5s, new HPOP (I used to have a T500 running stage 2's in my previous 7.3 but read no one can reach the Terminator guy anymore so have to look at other options). I am going to build it mild this time for reliability, as we regular pull a 32' travel trailer on family camping trips. [/QUOTE]
