Looks like you are playing in the yellow snow as well.

Here you go. They are insulated garage door panels. A guy a few towns over has a contract with the manufacturer and sells they're seconds. They used to be dirt cheap.... not so much now. Still cheaper than metal roofing and much easier to install by yourself. How've you been Randy?

That looks like a fine ceiling right there.

I'm good. A little bummed out, but good.

The 7.3 didn't start. Changed oil, fuel filter, flushed fuel system. Spun over pretty good at first....but seemed to be getting tighter over time. Pulling the glow plugs next to soak it in tranny fluids and acetone.

@cuinrearview . Got the basement room drywalled for the stepson to move back home. That's the stepson that didn't build a 5 mile bridge. Shaking the chit out of my head here when i look differences between us.

Maybe a quick Cummins swap would help??

There's a good chance your getting a voltage drop across the old cables, old grounds, even the starter..
Wouldn't hurt to "patch" in a couple grounds with jumper cables. Battery to block, block to chassis, chassis to battery.
May help to get it turning over a bit quicker.

My buddy had a old Ford 460 that ate starters like hard candy until he did just what you said.

Went ice fishing with my mom and dad this morning.


I looked for you bishes, but you weren't there.

No.

Probably?

Not a bad idea. At least the transmission might last more than an hour.

maybe im thinkin of the wrong thing, but i thought those needed good oil pressure in order to inject fuel. buddy had a 7.3 that would start to run like chit when the oil got just a touch low.

The 7.3idi was an indirect injection diesel. Ford/IH-Navistar thing, pre "Powerstroke" days.
The newer 7.3 powerstroke used an hpop system, High pressure oil pump, to fire the injectors.
