Quick question for ya, what kind of behaviors did your truck have when it had the injector problems?
@mattclark64825 ай бұрын
Thank you for the video. People are saying I shouldn't change injectors myself, but you made it look pretty easy. Are 7.3 idis easier to change than most other diesel engines?
@daveswan83652 ай бұрын
the idi is a very simple injector to change, don't re use the return caps and lines, it's like 40 bucks to change them and should be done when doing injectors

HI. Just picked up a 93 E350 Club Wagon (working on the engine from front and back inside sucks) with 7.3l idi na. 255k miles. Starting is getting worse and I have a tick sound. Which injectors did you get? How much? Did you do your glow plugs too? How about the fuel supply and return lines to the filter? Any tips on getting to all of the injectors inside the van's cramped engine bay? I'm doing all of these things eventually. Thanks. Your video gave me some good lucks at my future work.

@@ianlouis7033 Hmm. I never noticed the ticking while starting, but it's there while running. My glow plugs appear to be working. My wait to start light comes on or 8 to 15 seconds depending on how cold it is outside, then goes out. If I sit there I get the GP relay cycling, which is supposed to be normal. I'm an electrical engineer, and understand that if some GP's are open or shorted, it messes up the combined resistance that the GP relay control board "sees" and could cause problems. I have yet to pull the harness leads and check the GP resistance. I'm going to rebuild the GP harness anyway since the white plastic connectors are brown and some are cracking. But, all the connectors are still on their GP's. I'm becoming convinced that my problem is an air leak, or fuel let-down. If I start the van cold after a week of sitting, it takes 15 to 20 seconds to start. When I first hit the starter, I seem to "hear" one cylinder firing, and then eventually more, and finally the engine starts. If I start it 1, 2, 5 hours later the same day it starts much quicker. I suppose it could be the GP's and the engine might still be warm. I'm going to thoroughly check the GP's and harness, and then tackle the fuel lines. I'm hearing horror stories of replacement mechanical lift pump failures with the ones now available. I'm going to be methodical about it. Thanks for the info. I guess I'm just going to have to pull some of the fuel hoses to see that the real size is.

I hope you sold this and did well for yourself. $40K seems a bit excessive for what looks like you put a few things in to make it a "camper". I have seem gorgeous builds for that price. A twin bed on wood???. Not sure if there was more, the video wasn't great. It definitely looks like you threw something together without much thought, or perhaps that is inexperience. Sorry, but a bit disappointing.

How's the ambulance doing? Still battling with the 10mpg? If it's a 7.3 powerstroke, I suggest getting a hydra tuner for it which will help increase your fuel mileage and help your transmission a lot. Also, maintenance is the key so keep up with it religiously. Look up Hot Shot's secrets for oil /fuel additives.

I'm interested in doing a build like this, I'm Disabled, Part-Time Self Employed and would like to set an Ambulance (Preferably an E-350, probably not needing 4WD) as a mobile Live-Work Unit, I am a Piano Tuner and Musician with Trade School and Academic backgrounds in these respectively. I'm located in Northern California, I did spot an Ambulance on Facebook Marketplace in Klamath Falls Oregon that was more in my Price Range, but it was built in 1988, which makes me reuctant to pursue it. If I was more "Into" cars (as in Tearing Apart Automotive Engines, Etc.) maybe I would go for it because the vehicle part of it almost certainly needs to be rebuilt or replaced. Possibly the "Box" could be Salvaged and put on a newer chassis, but I'm just speculating.
