here is my new truck. i am getting it later today. its a 86 with a 91 7.3 and banks sidewinder turbo with ramair. it has what i think is a overdrive unit on the back of the tranny, runs ok but needs work.i got it on trade for my 2000 kia sportage 4x4. here is my new truck...











however it does have some problems...
its a 86 f350 with a 7.3 turbo(banks sidewinder). it has a problem of stalling. it sounds like its skippy at idle. when you give it some throttle it sounds bogged down. it will stall out and wont start back up for about an hour. any ideas on where to look. po said he had the #4 injector replaced and it had build up on the bottom of it and he thinks it got on the piston and ruined the rings... it does smoke some at idle and alot when you rev it up.will bad rings cause this? or is there another problem

 

Depends on the color of smoke. If its blue then its oil, White is antifreeze (will sometimes smell sweet), black or gray is fuel. If its burning oil bad enough then it will usually leave a oily film in the tail pipe.

 

there is some faint blue and gray and black

changed the fuel filter and it does start alittle better...but now it shuts down after about 10 secs and just before shut down it tires to idle up then chocks out...no stumble just shut off no hesitation. but it will start back up after about 5 trys not like before about an hour later....so making some progress.

 

Nice lookin ol truck

 

thanks

 

Has the truck been sitting for a long time?

 

that i am not sure about

its running really good now. i removed the reg. but the biggest problem was the injector po had put in....it was finger tight...i tightened it down and she fires right up...smoked for awhile but smoke is gone and i just drove it about 10 miles and was good. turbo would boost to 10 psi but it just did not feel impressive....kinda like a older 4cyl.auto car with a bad tune up... fcdp said that it looks like the ip is advance one notch...should i go back to stock and turn up the pump one flat? it is a turbo...banks sidewinder on a 7.3.
