Try taking the thermostat out completely, if the temp still rises might be something more serious. I’m still running the stock 3 core copper brass rad in my 73 1210 no overheating issues, 6.9 idi swapped.
And I tow all the time with it, sounds like it might just be a stuck t stat. Also I’ve been...
Yes drive by wire does not have the same “feel” but the power over the idi is so worth it. Also injector replacement on a 7.3 psd if you know what you are doing only takes about 2 hours. Yes also the computers do take a **** every once in a while, however as long as you don’t have a California...
You’d be surprised what a stock idi can do well maybe not, I have a 6.9 with a banks turbo kit zf5 and 4:10’s and 37” tires I pull my dump trailer almost daily. Does just fine haven’t even turned the pump up yet.
Yeah she is a dog but she will still pull it, depending on your budget honestly...
Recently had a very bad fuel leak on my 6.9 IDI turns out the hard line coming out of the injection pump broke right at the fitting. Had this ever happened to anyone else? Had a lot of these motors but never had this happen. Ironically enough all the return lines don’t leak.
Check your brake light bulbs, also check the brake light switch. E4OD’s do wierd stuff if the brake light system isn’t in order because it’s connected to the trans computer
I’m driving my 1973 international travel all to the scrap yard towing a trailer full of my 1987 suburban in the back. 6:30 in the morning going down a somewhat dead street in so cal well the next thing I know a bmw takes a last minute right hand turn. Next thing I know the whole thing is doing a...
So here’s my work truck, 1973 International 1210 Travelette. IDI swapped with a 6.9 banks sidewinder turbo kit, Zf5 speed factory t case chevy axles Dana 44 front and corporate 14 bolt rear. It’s also my daily which gets a lot of dirty looks here in so cal. Her name is Greta named after well for...
Also truck now has an unknown mile 6.9, banks turbo kit that was on the truck when I bought it. Plans are next year to swap a low mileage 7.3 powerstroke in her. Plan to do injectors, a drop in turbo and hopefully make 400-500hp and about a 1000 lbs of torque. Will post pics when it happens!
