i have my 2000 international 7.3 powerstroke in my garage and i am going through connections and lines just for prevenative reasons i pulled my down pipes and and several other things just to clean and check them does anyone have any quick easy at home modifications that they have used on a 7.3 if so explain.

 

Do u mean the intercooler pipes/boots?

looking at the intake side of the turbo, there will be a red line going over the intake pipe, into a black elbow, and into a gold colored canister. pull the elbow off the canister, and park the naked end of the elbow on an intercooler clamp bolt. before doing that, pull all the intercooler pipe couplers off, clean them and spray them with hairspray. reassemble them. do a search for CCV mod, it CAN be done with stuff around the house, providing you have hose. if you dont understand what pulling the red line will do, just search using the blue bar at the top, search for "wastegate disable/pulling red line.

 

yes that is what i meant im running back and forth to the garage i have messed around with the turbo a little but was woundering also about any fuel mods

 

sorry, looked over the fact that youre a newbie. Welcome to FTE, stay around a while and youll quickly come to find out that the group of guys around here are the best youll find on the net!

 

the main reason i have it torn downis becasue if i let it sit long enough to cool off when i start it again it dies in under a minute then it is very hard to start have been having to dump it in thrid on the hill be my house and hammer down to clear the system of the air. it will usually die a handful of times before it stays running i know it isnt the cam sensor i pretty much have it narrowed down to the fuel lines or plugs my new lines come in tommrow morning hopefully that will help...any advice?

 

What plugs?
