    Cylinder #3 contribution, injector?

    Latest problem. Truck has been sitting, it has been very cold. Started it up last night. Kicked high idle on to let it warm up. Ambient temp was like 25 degrees. Gray haze, smoke was dense. Truck started missing. Eventually stopped missing, still had gray haze from exhaust but not as bad...

    developed some steering play

    That is a lot of play, dang. Never thought to check mine. Thank you for sharing.

    Bizarre throttle issue

    Could it be the torque convertor unlocking? If the rpms are jumping under a load, the engine doesn't have enough power to increase rpms that fast going down the road. So maybe the transmission is hitting a neutral position or torque convertor unlocking? I suppose you could tap the brake...

    What turbo to get with baby swamp injectors?

    I have kc 300x with .84 housing with my 180/0 injectors and love the turbo. Kind of miss the whistle from the factory turbo, but it performs great. KC turbos website says if you normally run below 3000 rpms then run the .84 housing. If you run over then run the larger housing. Mine starts...

    2018 6.7 extended crank and slow to build rail pressure

    I think if I understand it all correctly, you can start by taking the return line off at the secondary fuel filter on top of the engine. It comes from the injectors. Turn the key/electric pump. If there is pretty much any return fuel flow then you need to dig deeper to find out which injector or...

    2006 f250 rust on roof

    Do you have a plan for repairing? Saw a guy use lead on a similar problem recently. Curious to see how long it lasts.

    4r100 Probelms

    Agree, something broke internally. Has to come apart. Not sure if the transfercase could have been the root cause or not.

    Favorite injectors

    Just to add on FF injectors. I thought they were good. I am not so sure now. I had done a set of DIY 180's years ago back when it was a thing. Was very happy with them. They performed well. After years of running them I started getting a miss at idle when the engine was hot. Like coming off...

    Turbo pedestal oil leak after replacing O rings

    I gave up. My old EBPV pedestal was already gutted and plugged. I used it, put it back on. Even with the old o-rings. Seems to be holding perfectly. The turbo also mounts higher, which helps getting the intake hose from the air filter on, before it was rubbing on the VC harness. At least...

    6.7 extremely long crank

    I have what I consider a long crank and I came to the same conclusion that I need to do a return flow test. But everyone told me I was crazy and you can't do it on the 6.7. That ford has no spec for return flow. Was thinking about just like you are talking, but haven't gotten to it yet.

    6.7 extremely long crank

    Did you test the return flow? or someone else? If you did it, how? Would like some insight. Thanks,

    Coolant in valley, leak.

    It is a 14. The turbo fitting looks dry. Stays dry. I pressure tested after posting. No visible leaks or drips. Holds pressure for over an hour before I gave up. I did finally see some stains on the pass side cross over gasket. But stayed dry during pressure test. I'm losing a very small...

    Turbo pedestal oil leak after replacing O rings

    After milling it around on a piece of glass and 400 grit wet or dry sand paper I tried the masking tape impression again. Only slightly better if at all. So I dug out my old ebpv pedestal and compared the two. The high pressure o-ring port is really close to the edge. Overall there is less...

    Coolant in valley, leak.

    Had another new leak show up. this truck sits a lot now. Not sure if it is related to that or not. Last leak was upper radiator hose, thermostat housing. Was all dry after that. Now I smell it, I see coolant in the valley. Looking online, the two most common would be crossover pipe gaskets...

    4r100

    Air in the system compresses in the line. once it reaches someplace like the TCC apply clutch it expands and applies the clutch.

    Turbo pedestal oil leak after replacing O rings

    Maybe I will try that next. I know more than once I have googled "best o-rings" and ordered them. Not so sure I haven't tried a set already. I put some 400 wet or dry on a piece of glass and sanded it down some. I need to try again with the masking tape and see if it is better or worse. If...

    4r100

    Is it the OEM trans? Meaning it has the PWM lock up control? Or has it been rebuilt with an on/off TC control? It kind of does sound electrical. Can you unplug the elect. connector and try it? See if it still locks up, which would point to something mechanical. Or if it does not lock up...

    Turbo pedestal oil leak after replacing O rings

    Running a feeler gauge under the pedestal the tightest spot, about the only spot that touches the glass is the small o-ring surface, and it is the tightest where I thought it was leaking. I am so confused right now. Suppose I will try to mill it some and then install again to compare.

    Turbo pedestal oil leak after replacing O rings

    I tried to install the pedestal only last night with plasti gauge under it, but could not find my plasti gauge. Wanting to try and see something I used a piece of masking tape. Torqued the pedestal down. Removed and read the tape impression. Where it is marked in red I tried to capture it...

    Stand Alone Trans Controller & OneGauge Digital Gauges

    Good Question, I would imagine you could unplug the cluster to test that theory? I honestly don't know.
