Most of the ones that all 8 were replaced were hard to start after sitting overnight.Seems like A's in the 94 and 95's,then B's in 96-99.5's then 7 D's and a EE in #8 on 99.5 and up.
I'm not a diesel guy. Don't have the knowledge, tools, or experience, but I prep used cars for a lot here, and the boss bought a 2000 E450 with utility bed, so I'll give it a try. 30 minutes on Google and I'm a diesel expert, of course.
Has a miss, and CCT says #6 isn't doing it's part...and the old injector disconnecting says the same. PERDEL is also around 4-5 compared to 1-2 on the rest. Buzz test sounds good.
Boss grabbed a diesel compression tester from HF just to find out it doesn't work on later 7.3's. So we make an adapter from a grease gun whip.
Ford doesn't give compression specs because...well, they're ford, but consensus is around 375 for a healthy mill. #6 is 370, and slightly higher than 4/8. So at that point, I feel something is off with the mechanical part of the injector, and make the call while reminding the boss I am NOT a diesel mechanic.
Seems like I made the right one. Running good now. Still some exhaust leaks and needs a radiator.
2006 Dodge Stratus repo. Slow crank, even with 2 batteries. Starter looks new. Assuming makes an ass out of u and me, so I put it up and find the culprit:
A/C clutch is locked solid.
I'd hate to think some body did a starter and didn't bother to see if the engine rotated by hand...
To make matters worse it was out of gas, and I went to pump some in and found that the rubber filler hose had been sliced and the gas stolen.
Just a day in the shop...
