Came over from a comment you left on an idi group from fb. U are a lifesaver. Saved me a couple hundred dollars plus a few hours of research.

@worthshop Год назад

Glad to help out. Most of the Facebook groups just push overpriced parts from a couple companies. I try to show people how to do things and save money in the process. Doesn't make me too popular in the groups!

@@worthshop How did you re wire the tach sensor?

@worthshop Год назад

@Randy Dye Just cut the plastic sheathing off the wire harness, and seperate the ones you no longer need from the 2 wire tach plug. Now take the tach plug and reconnect the 2 wires that goes to tach sensor. My truck has the dash and everything stripped out of it for circle track racing so a bit more involved!

First off, i wanted to thank you for all the info you've put out on IDI's. Its really hard to find anything on these old trucks. Secondly, i have a question for you if you have the time. Ive recently bought a 91 f250 with the 7.3 N/A non-turbo. Its been an electrical mess. Its whats led me to your channel. My voltage regulator went out and fried quite a bit of the wiring. Im having a helluva time finding any info on how to electrical work on these trucks. Could you possibly recommend some literature or a channel on here that might be a le to help someone who isnt the most savvy in the electrical realm? Any info would be much appreciated. If not, no worries and keep on keeping on! I appreciate all the info you e already put out there!!

The only alternator i could find was one from the 92 E350 7.3 powerstroke or the PG 7752 do you think either of these wpuld work? I checked for the pg7777 but they arent available on amazon I have a 1986 6.9 idi with the ats turbo kit btw

@dakota580 3 месяца назад

On the stock truck what 2 hot cables do you run on the mega fuse ? Where do they go both ends

@worthshop 3 месяца назад

One runs from the charging post of alternator to the mega fuse, the other goes from the mega fuse to the post with battery cables on the starter solonoid mounted to the passenger side fender.

@vnb28 Месяц назад

Take the pulley off the 1g alternator you removed

@popcappsproductions 11 месяцев назад

I did this swap yesterday, and it came online and started charging for like ten seconds and then it all stopped charging. I know the batteries in this truck are old and have sat so I probably need to replace them before chasing further rabbit holes. Any advise for good places to add grounds? This truck is kind of a basket case when it comes to the electrical system, though it seems to be coming back up to speed the further I dig into it. Thanks for your videos! Learning a lot about these old tanks.

@worthshop 11 месяцев назад

Did you blow the fuse? That or something came loose would be my guess. Need a good ground to the engine block and frame. Trucks usually come with one on each side.

@nothim2896 Год назад

I bet these videos sure piss off the guys running the fb idi groups. They try to sell a kit for this swap at over $350 you show us how to do it at a fraction of that price tag.

@worthshop Год назад

As a matter of fact yes, classic diesel designs just kicked me out of the Facebook group they run for sharing information and helping people. I will do a post and show you screenshots.

@youGrandaddy Год назад

Classic Diesel Designs just copied a bunch of other people's parts, they are probably just jealous cause your youtube is actually worth watching. They post dumb shit, and get hardly any views.

Hay Aspie, Just courios if You can delete vacuum pump or do You have to keep it? Nice ALT swap! 🙏🏻👍

@worthshop Год назад

Vacuum pump needs to stay on the truck, it runs the power brakes, and also controlls transmission shift points since it is an auto transmission. Thanks for watching, hope you have a good week.

Bought my 88 7.3 idi, looking to do this but the previous owner add a new key ignition and seemed to cut my green with red wire short, do you know where I could get a piece to extend it?

@worthshop Год назад

I would just cut the plastic wire loom on the wire harness back a little bit to get to it. Add a piece of green wire, which is readily available and easy to find. Wouldn't really worry about it having a red stripe. If you really want it to have a red stripe, I would rip some wire out of a vehicle at the junk yard. Good luck with your project, and God bless.

@sebastianlightell8864 Год назад

Dude how did you get the pulley on without it rubbing? Just put a lockwasher behind it against the bearing?

I have done this swap several times. Never needed a washer to space the pulley out.
