Default Ford Crew cabs w/7.3 Diesel

spent 14 hours today, trying to get ready. nice curveballs.... had to replace bearings on one tralier axle/brake drum, had to replace breakaway (glad i checked all this stuff!!). replaced the fuel filter on the PSD. anyone else done this before? I was a little confused on how tight to put cannister lid back on. ended up using filter wrench to tighten it about an extra 1/4 turn or so, as i wasn't sure if hand tight was good enough. is there such thing as too tight?OMG!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] I just did some serious PSD chatting!!

still don't have quads loaded, but that's all that's left (plus trailer). then drain hot tub and clean the filter (just coincidence that it times out that way). well, have a good week gabbing ladies! sayanora!

Well, I put the mojave together tonight[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Had to use a hair pin to hold the choke cable in place[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Thought that was pretty ingenious[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Started the mojave and had white smoke coming from the valve cover[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]When I had it running 2 nights ago, it didn't do that[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] can't think of what it could be[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Thinking maybe, just maybe, there was some simple green left on it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]from when we clean the engine before we took the top off. Tomorrow morning, going to get up early and change the oil. Start it up again and see if, it still smokes. I'm wondering if, maybe the valves are a little to tight? I set them at .22. Specs say .20-.24. If it still smokes, I'll pull the top (before I put everything back on) and double check them. But, I already checked them quadrupal times x'4[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Could it be possible, that they (valves) are too tight and exhaust is working it's way through the new gasket?? Like I said, I checked them numerous times before putting it all back together.

Any ideas???????

This will hold me up from riding tomorrow[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

MWQ, if you see this before you leave, Depending on what occurs with the above problem[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] I might not be there[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] If not, wife says we will go Sunday to ride[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I'm crossing my fingers, it's not anything big[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Have fun[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] and watch out for the "other" crazy drivers on the road[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I'll probably talk to you sometime next week[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I've haven't done the fuel filter on my truck. Always had it done at the dealership. So, can't answer your question.. Wise man for checking all that stuff though[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] before taking our family on a long road trip. I mean your family on the road[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Who makes those decisions? I would have probubly tossed it a few times. And I have only been in there since dec, I think. Of course I would have tossed DD & BM too. Or at least put them in a adult only section. Is lind of scary to think there are young kids reading even a little of that cr@p. most of it is just bs. but if taken out of context, OMG. pray for the children.

You better need a air-ambulance, or you need a new hobby.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] IMO

Doubt very much it has anything to do with the valves. was the smoke coming from around the gasget? or just off the top of the cover? How much smoke?

Still planning on leaving here around 8:00 or so. wife is not going because of rain. not sure about new wife but both sons claimed they were going rain or shine. i will go alone if it comes down to it. It is raining so I must go. LOL[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
