    Anyone have experience with Cali 7.3's?

    Good to know, it's a 5 speed. I'll get the harness switched back over tomorrow while I figure out which way to go with injectors or programmer. Sent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk

    Anyone have experience with Cali 7.3's?

    This makes alot of sense, do people swap ab injectors into obs ford often? I've never considered that. would I want to go back to the original harness that is going to work with my glow plug relay and for sure be pinned the same? There seems to be conflicting info on the 42 pin connectors...

    Anyone have experience with Cali 7.3's?

    Well I unknowingly swapped a California motor out of a 97 into my federal 96. I got it to run somehow with the wrong ecu, and icm but boy is it rough. It's my understanding that the only difference is the wiring for the glow plug relay is different, the harness is plugged slightly different, and...

    Funny story, I'm pretty sure this motor is a "california" model witch means 1) I have a couple extra glow plug relay wires no big deal simple fix 2) I have AB split shot injectors No wonder it's running like crap. Sent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk

    I'm not sure how long it sat before I got ahold of it. I'm not sure what the voltage is while im cranking but it seems ample. Would the fact it wont fire on either prove that it is in fact an electric issue? Sent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk

    Glow plugs are working, while im cranking it appears I have oil pressure and there is oil in hpop for sure. Hooked up to trickle charger so I have good cranking amps. I'll recheck the 42 pin connector though. Sent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk

    No start after motor swap

    Well during this quarantine I decided I would under take my first stab at a motor swap. The truck is a 96 and the motor is out of a wrecked 97 with 200k. Everything was fairly straight forward and plugged right in. I've topped off all the fluids and filled the fuel bowl and nothing. I think it's...
