This video should be mandatory viewing for any new idi owner. It might be kinda long and tedious as you said. But it contains ALOT of valuable information that would answer so many new idi diesel truck owners questions. What is this plug? What does this thing do? I see the same question over and over in the idi groups. Thanks for taking the time to film edit and upload as you take on these projects.
This was a bit lengthy but well worth the time, and very informative. I am currently in the process of trying to work through a wiring nightmare on my 88 F Super Duty frankentruck and this has been very helpful. Not only that, but your demeaner is truly genuine and I am now a subscriber because of that. Thank you, and God bless my friend.
Nice work on the wiring Aspie! Your Battery Cables look sweet! The larger wiring is the right way to go, Your batteries will be much happier for sure. Keep up the good work! Have a nice week and God Bless.🙏🏻👍
Back in the early 1990s, max Lagod of Hypermax put together an extraordinary engine package for a customer yearning to compete in sled pulling. With nothing holding him back, Lagod designed a 7.3L that included two Garrett turbos (which were state-of-the-art then but probably not manufactured anymore), a Bosch inline P-pump, custom injectors, a fabricated intake and exhaust manifolds, and slight cylinder head work. Surprisingly, much of the factory engine components were retained, such as the crankshaft, block, and pistons-although the connecting rods were heat-treated. Compression on the engine was 15:1, which called for ether-assisted startups. Soon after entering this wild IDI into area-sanctioned sled pulling events, the engine was banned. Not to be discouraged, the owner turned to drag racing. Rumor has it that the truck graced with this 7.3L beast put out 1,200 hp and ran quarter-mile times in the 9-second range!
alright Aspie... I'm a calling you out.... what races are you entering. i used to run up at the moyie mud bogs... super fun. might be up in your neck of the state this summer. doing some
Thanks for the great video! I commented on another video about the glow plug system and I had one more question. Since I am adding a 7.3 GP kit to my 6.9 I’m not sure what all wires are but I see you have 1 extra red wire attached on the small terminal across the terminal with the white negative/ground. What is that?
That makes sense, before I connected anywhere I first tested it out by getting positive directly from battery and my glow plug light turned on! But it did by itself and when I press it, it turns off. I suck at electrical so what does that mean? If I connect to something that turns on only with the ON position, would that fix the problem? Thanks for all your help, I can see I’m almost complete with this job, thanks to you!
Man! I wish I lived where you live to tell how thankful I am, that I found your channel! I actually was testing something out and put my camera towards one of the glow plug connectors and when I hooked up to direct power like I had told you. I pressed the button for glow plugs and the light came off but with my test light on one of the GP connectors, my light from the tester turned on!!! So now I just need to find somewhere to connect when key is on the on position! Thank you so much!
30:47 " I've got a link ( to more detailed Gauge Install ) in the description ". Howdy again . I went to look for the full Gauge Install link , but I am not seeing it . Might have ( my ) wrong glasses on . ( LOL )
awesome video where did you get the gauges and how much where they none of mine work in my truck and would you no why after brand new glow plugs and new relay on a push button why my truck still starts very hard im thinking fuel pressure
I found the new gauges on Amazon, they cost me $65 here is a link to a video showing where to plumb in aftermarket gauges ruclips.net/video/j2Z2AEUD3D0/видео.html The hard starting is more than likely air intrusion in the fuel system. Look at all your return line caps for moisture, look at the fuel heater on top of fuel filter housing, check the fittings in and out of lift pump, filter housing and injection pump. If you have any moisture allowing fuel out then air can get in, any air getting in will drop your fuel pressure and make it hard to start. Good luck with your project, God bless.
@@DankoStojanovic Blue nose my 6.9 idi dump truck had a bad fuel tank selector valve that made it hard to start. Then it would die a little ways down the road, restart and run fine again. I ended up putting in brass 3 way valves, cured all my hard starting and dying out issues. ruclips.net/video/JoO0e5UKVKc/видео.html
@@worthshop Yeah, I've seen how you did it. I am considering it. I'd still like to put it back the way Ford did it but if it keeps giving me trouble I'll just do it like you did and delete the automatic valve
I learned more from this guy about my 6.9 idi then I have from anyone else
Appreciate that comment. Glad I am able to share some information, and help people out. Ever have any questions, or want a specific video let me know.
"Pleasantly Plump" Nice save, Aspie. 😂

Some people just like to keep asking the same things over and over. Thanks, I will take that comment as a compliment. Hope you have a great week!
I wish you much success. May the algorithm be with you.
The algorithm is not very cooperative! Appreciate your help!

You radiate positive energy bro, and I have a 6.9 so it’s a win win watching your videos ! Thanks
I try to be more positive as I get older, but can't say I've always been! We all have a past. Appreciate you checking out the chanel. God bless.
I’m loving your videos. I have a 6.9 IDI 1987 School bus. I’m having starting issues.
Have any questions don't hesitate to ask! I will walk you through diagnostics repairs etc.
Ole peg is a hoot to watch! He's had to censor him self to stay on the RUclips, kinda sucks.
I love watching everything Peg produces. He cracks me up. Thanks for watching.

I will have to do some googling and read about some of that history. Thanks for the info
Love it!!
This helped me! Thanks!

Hey Aspie, I need the wiring diagram for a indirect injection 1993 7.3 Ford Truck I need to wire the shutoff solenoid, wait to start etc.
Thanks for the great video! I commented on another video about the glow plug system and I had one more question. Since I am adding a 7.3 GP kit to my 6.9 I’m not sure what all wires are but I see you have 1 extra red wire attached on the small terminal across the terminal with the white negative/ground. What is that?
The little red wire is keyed positive power. So it gets positive power whenever the key is in the on position.
That makes sense, before I connected anywhere I first tested it out by getting positive directly from battery and my glow plug light turned on! But it did by itself and when I press it, it turns off. I suck at electrical so what does that mean? If I connect to something that turns on only with the ON position, would that fix the problem? Thanks for all your help, I can see I’m almost complete with this job, thanks to you!
@@samuelsolis6333 Ya, you are probably connected to someplace that is always on. You only want it on with the key.

I had (have) the same problem and mine was air intrusion. I think it is at the tank selector valve in my case.

Great info buddy! Thanks for sharing! 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏
Those evil algorithms are bad stuff
Your telling me!
Nobody thought about the edit💀💀
