THX for the confirmation! this site rocks!!
Let me tell yall what I know..... bought truck from dummy who did not know how to abuse a diesel!! I know the engine most likely took on water. Air filter was sucked in with mud caked in the intake box. Truck sat up for a while due to he didn't know what to do. I changed all the fluids and of course air filter. Truck did not want to start!! finally.... I did the old Ford 7.3 trick and poured diesel down intake while spinning engine! Busted off! Let it idle for a while and it did so OK. Then throttled it a bit and it acted like a ford runaway!! u know revd. to past red line, thought it was going to grenade!! killed the ignition and it still run away at max rev. finally die. scratch head day or so. tried crank it again, it sound like main bearing knocking! I am sick at this point. friend tells me he had a fly wheel break and sounded the same! Soooo pulled 48re and 273-d togather. Fly wheel loose!!! All 8 Flex plate bolts to crank shaft where backed out about .250". Torque conv. had hammer marks where the flex plate fasteners hit face of conv. (enough to dig into face a bit) fixed all this, install new front pump seal and reinstall. not want to start so again force it to start. it revs high, but not red line. smokes like a chimmeny!!!! I mean RICH! Finally ruff idle with entire nieghbor hood darkened by my soot. discusseded because I didn't understand the common rail system...............here I am. Is it as simple as injectors? is it the part under valve cover? or part that connects to injector from the rail? I NEED HELP! I EVEN HATE TO ADMIT IT! DON'T TELL MY WIFE I ASK FOR HELP....LOL I have diesel parts and trucks I would trade for help. whatever it takes to keep me from the dealer!!! OOO! also, the headlights blink and the dash lights blink codes I assume. and tranny don't pull. can tis be as simple as the front pump. can I purchase a computer to hook up to truck like dealer??? if so where?? Thanks for the comradery! I look forward to chewen da fat wit yall!! when I get time I roam the site!
