I had the exact same problem with my idi.... 7.3L N/A.... (naturally asperated)....
i replaced the fuel filter with the bowl for a baldwin #BF1222 ... no bowl ... just a petcock for h2o......
you may also want to pressurize you fuel system back to tank to check for air leaks.... if you have a smoke machine this will be easy as pie... other wise get a stethescope and be damn quiet...... i have over 300k on stock system and runs great... i just use atf in every tank keeps things clean.....
also you said you cleaned the injectors..... you may have done your self in there..... how did you clean them ???? ... hope you didnt use wire wheel or and abrasive.... cause if so your in trouble..... and you most likley just cost your self some big $$$.... oops

It sounds like you have experience, I went to Ventura to see if Joel from Veg Powered Systems to see if he could convert the truck to run on WVO, he cleaned the injectors by reving the engine and spraying water in the turbo intake......after that the engine ran smoother and he added some ATF before I left and the truck ran great all the way home. he also advised to get a better muffler and 4 inch exhaust with a K & N air filter.

Yeah the ATF burns off the carbon due to the detergents in aft.... the water he sprayed moistened up the carbon and when the engine compressed the fuel the water will turn to steam and cause all the carbon to fly out the exhaust... cleaning up the injector tips and combustion chambers....... the same will work quite well on a gaas engine too....
if you run about a quart of atf every other tank of fuel it will continue to run better and better... and adds fuel lubricity that ulsd dosent have due to the removal of the sulfer..... its like graphite.... only finer.....

ok, pull the arm up off the window, there is a little tab that you pull out down on the shaft. pull out that tab as far as it will go(bout 1/4 inch or so) and let the arm back down. now pull the arm off. they can get stuck on there, so might have to TAP it with a small hammer to break it free. the splines are tapered.


but your bushings might be the issue. bushings in the wiper linkage.

Default Veg Powered Systems in Ojai

How do I post a new thread? I took my truck to a guy in Ojai Ca who was supposed to put a Vegetable oil fuel system in it. I drove it there from San bernardino and it runs fine with a new Tranny as well. He Joel asked for half payment on the system which is 1500. he calls me 2 weeks later to pick up my vehicle and when I get there he says its not running but it was and you need to pay me for the system, he says the problem is with my mechanical lift pump and that I need to pay him becuse he installed the system and it WAS working. I told him I drove it there and he needs to get it running and he said Ok so I gave him $ 800.00 half of what I owed him. he calls today and says he wont work on my truck anymore so I am going over there today with the Sherriff ! what are my opgtions at this point.
