6.9 addicted to ether
Hi guys i have a 86 f 250 6.9 that has about 400k on it its completely wore out but i only use it occasionaly to go hunting anyway the glow plugs work and are all good I put them on a switch so I can turn them on or off when I want to I know ether is bad but its the only way it will start I am guessing there is no compression left anyway i wanted to know if anyone knows where I could get a either injection set up like they used to have on tractors just for the the convienence of not having to get out and spray it in

Try searching the web for your nearest Case tractor dealer. You should be able to get used units from Case tractors. The system consists of a can holder with a solenoid that when switched on fires the aerosol can into a tiny plastic pipe fed into the intake manifold.

If you are using ether DISCONNECT the glow plug relay!!! you wont need them if you are using ether anyway and ether and glow plugs dont mix well. If you spray ether right through the driver side of the grill into the air intake it works well, no need to open the hood and open the air cleaner.

make sure you disconnect the glow plugs if you use either. you can have a fire. also don't use too much either. you can either lock the motor(will turn over, but real hard) and this can bend a rod. or you can blow a head gasket. one little squirt . did this for over a year and never hurt the motor.

if you get the either setup i would stroke the motor(crank it dry) then while cranking add the either to prevent hydro lock basicaly the same way they start the old planes and some high hp motors
