did the Oil feed tube and Gasket for the Turbo decide it had enough?

 

nope, turbo running strong. HPOP line on drivers side is shot. also found fuel leaking from filter drain. removed most components today. maybe tomorrow get to filter bowl and HPOP.
plenums and boots on my upgrade list. any other thoughts?
no money or time for injectors..
I'm up late cause i still work second shift.

 

I blew my HPOP line a couple months back and coulda swore I blew motor staring at 15 qts of oil on road. Turns out diesels just shut down from oil loss so they dont blow. Maybe that will reassure you? Either case I would say HPOP rather than pedestal unless the valley is full. Not a mechanic here just past history
Good luck BD

 

Ha, turns out there is a page 2

 

Happy humpeth day Nor Cal FTE and friends. Another beautiful day here in the armpit of California. Going to be a bit busy getting my free haircut voucher, getting my haircut and a pedicure! (When you can't reach your toes, you pay someone to cut your toenails ) And then head over to the mobile home park to see if any mail made it there since the change of address went in. Oh, and Comcast should be calling to find out when they can pick up the modem and cable box. They don't do that anymore, they have you drop it off at a service center, or mail it, but they are making an exception in my case.

both HPOP lines from the pump are loose and leaking. removed the lines and attaching fittings.
fuel filter bowl also removed. new orings going on drain valve assly.
anybody know where third bigger o-ring goes?
going to try to order from RDP tonight.

cheers norcal chapter. im on bart nroute to work.

 

GENTS! how goes it out there? so far, so good here in oaktown. busy as all get-out. just ordered $400 worth of parts from riffraff. after another quick stop at o'reillys for a drive belt, fuel filter, and whatever else i'll come up with… i think i'm making the right purchases.
it always sucks spending this kind of dough but the alternatives are probably much more $$$.
i've got some pictures if anyone wants to see.. thinking i'll post them in the main diesel forum for 99-03 7.3's.
cheers fellas.

 

Sounds good to me. I love adding upgrades to my vehicles.

Just got a email response from the guy who is selling the purple Explorer and the headers have a carb number so it passes smog with no issues, and both front and rear gears were replaced not just the front. Now if I can just get the SSDI check, I will be a happy camper.

Glad you got her figured out BD, best of luck on new ride Jim. Good seeing you the other day Scott, dropping off crown and base moulding to finisher off Northland for the disco bay entertainment center. Have a great evening and weekend fellers!

Oh Ya, looking for a 16' enclosed trailer and a 2500 work truck. Maybe flatbed...if anyone sees anything holler. Thanks

TGIF Nor Cal FTE and friends. Hope everyone has a great day and even better weekend. Going to be warming up here in the valley with a high of 83 on Tuesday they claim.

Jim

 

Another beautiful day here in the armpit of California. Sunny, no clouds and 73 degrees as a high. Wish we had this weather all year round. Anyone have any plans today? I don't, just stay at home playing computer games. Only have one DVD here with me, and I have seen it five times already. Can practically read the script line for line now. LOL

waiting for truck parts..

 

So I am at work babysitting a CNC machine and then a thought came to me. I'm going to start painting my truck. Yep I am that crazy. I will have time to paint a part of my bed. Its all washed out and will make a good test section. Wish me luck!

 

Did both sides. Just need to do tail gate on another day.
