Ever since my rebuild I've been hunting gremlins. All but two have been fixed, when driving if I surpass 2500 rpm the engine tends to misfire. When it does it shoots a small puff of smoke as long as I'm running something above my stock tune. At first I assumed it was cps related and replaced it...

I recently pulled the trigger on a 2008 cc/sb f350. The engine runs and has full power but smokes. From what I know, it seems to be either a faulty injector or the emissions system. I sent the injectors off to be checked and am in the process of finding a *** dele*te kit. Now for the build...

I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a 2008 F-350 I found on the interweb. It has a solid body but has a possible bad engine. The dealership said it blows a cloud of white smoke when it runs, but supposably has full power. When I asked if they had an idea of what its issue is they said they...

Hi guys! I have a 2001 7.3 that recently went to the shop to get an oil pan leak fixed and injectors upgraded. The guy called and said that he is having an issue with the truck, when started it will rev to around 1000 then drop back down. It will do this constantly until it dies. He hooked up...

I have a 2001 7.3 and I enjoy looking up youtube videos of other DD 7.3's with crazy mods. I saw one with twin turbos and it made me wonder how they get oil to the turbo. I tried searching the forum but had no results. Thanks!

I have a 2001 7.3. Long story short, the truck had problems, had the heads and block pressure checked, and the f*ckers didn't put the fittings that connect the fuel lines to the heads. Does anyone know what size the fitting is? Part number at a store? I'm assuming there were special o-rings on...

I have a 2001 F-350 Superduty extended cab. Over the years I've managed to blow one and mess up the radio. My son has finally convinced me to replace the whole stock audio system with aftermaket stuff. The truck has four speakers total and can be replaced with either 6x8's or 5x7's and would...

Does someone k ow of any diesel shops around southern Indiana that can pressure check a block?

I need to have a 7.3 Powerstroke block pressure checked. Preferably around southern Indiana.

I have a 7.3 Powerstroke that was just recently rebuilt. We have been getting some coolant in the oil, whichever we traced to the oil cooler, but now there is a whit haze coming out the exhaust with an oily smell. Where should I start? We had the block and heads checked for cracks and whatnot so...

Ok, I recently rebuilt my powerstroke engine. When we rebuilt it, we had the block magnafluxed and the heads checked over by one of the best diesel engine head repair guys. This seemingly eliminated all possibilities of us having a leaking head or cracked block. We've been running the engine for...

I have a 2001 7.3 powerstroke. The engine was rebuild about 5000 miles ago. The only issue with it is coolant has been leaking into tho oil. What did we do wrong? My guess was a bad head gasket. Any help will be appreciated!

I have a 2001 7.3 Powerstroke with a 5 position chip. The truck runs fine.. But I want something a little more. I keep hearing the 7.8k mod (which is two 3.9k resistors in a row, correct me if I am wrong) or the 10k mod will give it that little bit extra that I'm looking for. I have also heard...

I was recently driving my 01 7.3 and I drove the truck over some railroad tracks and the truck randomly stalled. I let her roll across the tracks and restarted her with no problem. This happens fairly often and mainly when I slam the door or something shakes the truck. It also occasionally kills...

I just finished putting in injectors after I hydrolocked the engine due to a bad injector o ring and washer. I got everything reinstalled today. It smoked some at startup (which was expected because when I removed the injectors oil ran into the cylinders) but it continued to put out a very light...

I recently had an injector go bad. The washer fell off the injector during installation which cause an o ring to go bad on the same injector. All this cause the engine to hydrolock. I took the valve covers off and removed injectors. I cranked the engine over and it shot fuel out of one cylinder...

I'm getting ready to get some new injectors for my truck. I was going to get stage one's but then I saw there is a stage 1.5. I know the 1.5 will have slightly more power than the 1, but I don't want to have to worry about accidentally smoking the hell out of the people behind me. I will more...

I own a 2001 Ford F-350 with a 7.3 Powerstroke. I recently rebuilt the engine due to a blown piston. This was my first rebuild! :D:D I have upgraded the exhaust to a 4 inch flopro turbo back exhaust. It has a TS six position chip. Everything else is stock. I'm looking to get a CAI soon. Any...
