- In this first episode of my 1989 F250 7.3 IDI build video series, I'lll be replacing the oil and fuel filter. This is a fairly easy job that can be done in just a few minutes, so it's a great candidate for a quick and easy video.

My man! I appreciate that brother! Thanks for watching! 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸
Just bought one yesterday to fix on. 5speed. 89 IDI 4X4.
Man! I’m jealous of that 5 speed stick! I’m thinking bout trying to do a zf5 swap on mine. I’ve got the C6 3 speed auto….it’s bulletproof really but she redlines at 63 lmao. 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸
Colts commentary is second to none!
Appreciate it brother.
Look up how to time the injection pump you need a 9/16 wrench with the side shaved down a bit advance it slightly did it on mine and the cold smoking stopped and it idled smoother
Hope you dont mind me saying put a check value end of fuel line going in to fuel filter srew in to where 90 is srew 90 in value then fuel line in to 90 stops the fuel bleeding off helps when starting just a thought im 70
I have that same bucket man.
I use atf in the filter tank have been for years the old idi dont mind a bit.
Hell yea bro! Need a podcast man!
Idk how I got here but I’m staying. This is entertaining asf
My man! Appreciate it brother! 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸
Diesel clean clear will eat the gunk up in the tanks
Dude! I love this guy! Great content, and fucking funny!
My man! Appreciate it brother! 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸
Old Lineman still watching
Old lineman never Die they just Ground out and go phase
Congrats 🍾
A PBR and two badass fords. Dude you're livin the good life.
No more bud/Miller
Love the old 7.3!!!
Vaccuum leak could affect your blower controls
My man, mixing up that homemade injector cleaner like a mad scientist! Gotta love it. My dad had one of these old IDI trucks while working for Sunshine John Deer and was a salesman. He delivered a lot of equipment around South Louisiana with it. I remember being a kid climbing in it and on the trailer with all those sweet John Deers! Thanks for bringing one of these old girls back to her former glory.
Gotta love the “while we wait we hydrate” nod to Stalekracker👍🏻 the glow plugs could be a bad relay. Back on the day we used to use relays off Western snowplows as they were cheaper and lasted longer. I don’t care what anyone says, none of us ever had a problem with it. As for the A/C it might be vacuum controlled. If it is, take a look at the white vacuum line, they always got dried out and brittle. I replaced mine with regular old black vacuum line and that did the trick. I think it needs a rear sliding window though, kinda surprised it doesn’t have one
Rear window needs an old school gun rack!
@@bigguy5360 remember when that shit was a factory option? Damn them were the days👍🏻😂
Love the Rainbow pinky comment. God bless you and Clyde.
Ain't a lot of guys that even know how to work on a idi Diesel any more! But I love it! Love that old truck! You found a Gem ! Wow
at 0:16 i never laugh so hard lol
Im a pibber to. 👍
Love the video my Airborne brother. Stay safe down there and…..pinkies up son! 🇺🇸🦅🍀🇺🇸
Love watching your vids!! You I have an awesome personality!😂
That thing needs a banks sidewinder kit
I wouldn’t touch the exterior either! It’s got great patina! Just give it a good scrubbing and then have it clear coated. God bless!!!
Colt, I always look forward to your videos. Great Job, Brother!
Looking good. Those old idi's are fine trucks. I remember from my time working on them, coolant was somthing to watch. Been some years though....we had alot of them on the farm. Straight work horses.
The Dash Vents work off a Vacuum Accumulator behind / above the Glove Box on most vehicles, I've used Universal Accumulators to abandon a couple of OEM accumulators because they're difficult to get to and make an OEM Style Repair and Vacuum is Vacuum. When accumulators fail completely, they cause the issue you're having, when they begin getting weak they will cause the air to move from the dash vents to the windshield at acceleration.
The mechanical pump has 2 lines because one is to suck from fuel tank other is to pump to engine.
Hell I enjoyed your video. Looking forward to seeing more.that truck is a keeper.
I bout died when you were talkin bout the spark plugs! 😂 nice old truck man.
I would enjoy having a truck like that keep them coming.
Block off plate for sure
your sparkplug comment i just about died laughing
Block off plate off a big block chevy
Never fail to crack me up man! Another solid video 🤙🏾🦅🇺🇸
You a funny MF!!
My man! 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸
Love the videos and look forward to the new project.
Glad you switched from Busch!! Can’t wait to see how this old truck turns out!
The ac I controlled by vacuum and cables if ypur vacuum pump belt is loose or bad you won't have ac controls
Love your videos! Would drink a beer with you any day!
❤
Love it brother!! Great video, looking forward to the future videos, as usual!! 🍻🇺🇸
PBR , Clyde , dildos and the radio all you need!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think those older trucks use a vacuum block to adjust the blend door for the AC so you could have a vacuum issue. Or the door itself might be stuck or broken. Probably have to get into pulling the dash pad to see what you're working with back there.
2nd this! Vacuum operated blend doors. Broken vacuum pump maybe?🤔👍🛠️🇺🇸
If you leave the mechanical pump in there when the diaphragm ruptures it will puke all your fuel either on the ground or in your crank. I've had multiple of these old idiots and the mechanical pump has failed on everyone. But technically you can leave it in there and pump through it.
I did the same thing on an IDI, ditch the mechanical and run a decent low pressure elec fuel pump, you can run the pump off keyed ignition. Should always start great, even if tired, bad rings, etc.
Not broke don't fix right
Good stuff man, leave the pumps and put a switch on the pump that connects to the battery for now. Put the switch in the cab.
Love the truck man. Word of advice don’t get to heavy on the fuel system cleaner. I did it to my 7.3 and been chasing fuel leaks ever since
I like eagles too and i really enjoy drinking yuengling. Keep doing you!
I have an 88 with the same issue. I’m pretty sure we have to take the old pump off, put the plate on, cause I started sucking air and lost prime. Had to get it towed.
Just put a block off plate on it. The fuel lubricates a diaphragm, but without fuel to go through it would eventually dry out the seal and run engine oil out.
Also, you can pull the “spark plugs” out and put 12v power on the head and ground the threads, it will glow red or if it’s bad not.
That dark diesel may be a blend of diesel and used motor oil. Those old dinosaurs will run on almost anything that’s made of dead dinosaurs
Is she burning any oil?
The mechanical lift pump runs off the lobe of the camshaft. With it in there still it isn’t hurting anything, however, it offers a possibly for a place to leak oil and slight risk of something catastrophic happening on the lobe of the camshaft. That is a rare possibility. I would recommend also when you are wiring your relay up for the Eletric pump to secure the pump somehow with zip ties to keep the hoses from rubbing and wearing into a point of leaking in the future. Great content as usual 👍
Agree with this too! I can see that fuel pump hose rubbing right thru on the metal, so secure\protect themas needed. And yes the mechanical pump isn't hurting anything, probably just a broken rubber diaphragm inside. If you're gonna keep electric one, I'd just pull it and put block-off plate to stop one of the many oil leaks. Lol
7:16 no control module fortunately. these trucks used vaccum operated servos to control the blend doors, you may have a broken vacuum line or the "soup can " resevoir may be rusted out. If I recall I it defaults to pushing air out the defrost when theirs a lost of vaccum.
PBR Street Gang this is Almighty!!...OutFknStanding Brother!! Hooah...
When It comes to fuel pumps you'll get pro and cons. I personally run the regular mechanical pump and haven't had issues. I know a lot of guys went with the electric Facet lift pump and they love them.
I have owned 3 of these 7.3 IDI's, currently have a 1992, never had an electric fuel pump but I have always wanted to. From what I have read and seen, they say t put a block off plate in place of the mechanical if youre running electric, something to do with risking fuel getting past the mechanical and into the crank case? The block off plate from a BBC apparently is a direct fit. Also these things don't want to start without glow plugs even if you have a damn blowtorch down the intake lol They will run off almost anything including radioactive unicorn piss too.
Hvac will stick on defrost when there is no vaccume in system. Gotta check the vaccume lines running on firewall and etc. Fuel pump has two lines one is return to tank other is supply to fuel filter!
@Colt 2:08 I had to re-crimp my electrical because soyboy tears flood my fuel filter
What kind of shirt is that, it looks comfy as shit
First time in my life I ain't needed another inch dead 😂
Make more diesel sh#t , I'll watch.
Appreciate it brother. 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸
Glow plug is bad. Or glow plug controller
The problem with leaving the old pump is if the diagram goes out it will let fuel in the oil and wipe the engine bearings.
You can leave it in or block it. As others said, it can leak oil eventually. But with this being an emp/disaster vehicle, it may be better to go back to the mecahanical pump. The electric pump could fry with a big enough emp, the mechanical won't. Just something to think about.
Those old diesels would run on donkey piss. If that was a new one, it would throw a code and left you stranded along the highway.
I died at the dildo😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hell Yes! Greta be proud of you using a bucket! All BS aside great video, cant wait to see how the old dinosaur turns out!
Imagine if that fuel was found in the 6.7 lmao that som bitch would be DEAD 🤣 keep it up dude. Love the content
Pinkys up for the rainbow community 😅😅😅 yea F them! Man
Looks like PBR is the winner. Have you tried Yuengling? They have an eagle in their logo.
your ac controls might be cable actuated and might have fallen off. which won't change where the flow comes from. and your ac system/ lines may have failed internally and lost pressure, i don't think you can buy R12 anymore and you might have to buy an R134a swap kit.
Your actuator door or cable is bad
You can leave the mechanical pump.... the lobe on the camshaft sometimes gets wiped out and the mechanical pump doesn't work, it's a replaceable piece of the cam on the end. NO ATF IN THE FUEL.... ITS NOT GOOD FOR THE INJECTORS.
Thanks about the pump! Damn, I was reading about the atf and stuff and watched a bunch of vids and thought I was doing good! Thanks for the heads up! 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸
@COLTS WAY you're doing great and love the content bud! ATF is debatable. It will burn and old diesels can handle it BUT it's an oil designed not to burn. It creates ash when it burns and can wreak havoc on newer diesels. The combustion chamber of an idi is something I wouldn't want to get all ashed up. Also be careful of the glow plug brand you use.... some swell and break off in the head.
Dump some Seafoam in the fuel tank and fill the fuel filter up with seafoam ! Run it for 2 minutes and shut it off and let the seafoam work! Let her sit a few hours then run that bad boy! God bless Justice Clarence Thomas 1791Hell yeah that cocktail you made will get it done! 15:03
If you could keep it clean you’d probably get more viewers. It took you 4 min for me to just turn it off. Yeah a leaking diesel go ahead and add oil that’s gonna leak more. Not bashing your page but me my dad and 7 other technicians said just turn it off. And you’d never take a idi motor and start adding junk nothing is wrong with the way it was built
Dude. It’s a 30 year old truck. Shits gonna leak. Lmao. I’ve got a 18 superduty that’s had the upper oil pan fixed twice. Damn near every 2017 + trucks leak at the upper oil pan. I don’t really care if you like it or not my man. I just got the truck. I’m gonna fix it up slowly. But if I want to run it off a cliff I could do that to….what junk did I add to the motor? Lmao. Come on bro. 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸
Not sure, but you might be a country boy. I have the same 7.3 IDI only a year younger. And I'm a country boy.
Do you have instagram
Yea I do. Never post on it much but I need to start. Colt Hinton is my name on there or coltsway 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸
