1995 73L Powerstroke

[onecylanderracer]

it is actually cyl no 8 with a higher fuel pressure than the others... its kind of like a dead end for fuel flow... this "knock" can be quieted up with a fuel line link on the back side of the engine... easily be done by a novice mechanic... that sound and mis you hear is no problem its just the nature of the beast and also that $78 dollar compressor wheel helps with that sound... hope this helps... but ur just fine the way it is

[idontgiveafuck08]

did the knocking sound go away after you replaced the ipr sensor I have a 97 f350 7.3 that has 86k in it and i can hear a slight knocking sound comming from the back of the motor

I love the way the first gen Powerstrokes sound !!

[AJSFordMan]

what was the cord hanging out from under your dash? thanks

[SoCoMx309]

it wasnt a cord it was the mount for the cb mic

runnin right or not i wouldn't trade one for a low power junk cummis if i had to hell my powerstroke pulls like a sob no matter what i hook to it i drove my boss's dodge cummins diesel towing a loaded 30ft trailer with it and it struggled to pull the hills with the cruise set at 65 he rode with me one day and i was pullin the same trailer and same load and he couldn't beleive the power i had i took the hills with out even struggling with the cruise set at 70mph

KAHLO69 can kiss my ass. He is a dodge guy.

mine did that and I ran some injector cleaner through it and a good oil change and now it is fine.

there is nothing you can do about that. she sounds like a healthy 7.3 man. i spent thousands of dollars on aftermarket injectors trying to get rid of that miss fire sound and it did nothing. not untill i repalaced my clutch and they re-alined my fly-wheel did the sound off miss fire change. but it never went away. i bought that truck at 190000 kms and it has 356000 on it now and still runs like a top

[rowdyoutfitters]

It ended up being the IPR. The IPR ended up sticking and caused the truck to have no power. Everytime I put my foot on the gas it would cause the CEL to come on and through a code. I changed the IPR and she runs great now.

how many miles you got on her i got a 94 powerstroke 228,000 and still going strong i cant kill the dang thing

[ViolentBiscuits]

[bobvillaoftn]

id say its the timing. i know i got mine chipped an it throws the timin off time to time an itll knock an rock some. good luck lemme know what it is.

[Kahlo69]

[MDizzel16]

@Kahlo69 get the fuck out of here, I bet you own some rice burning piece of shit

[Kahlo69]

@MDizzel16 yea not a asian sorry. its called a Cummins. btw.... I bet you don't even have a car...

[MDizzel16]

@Kahlo69 actually I got a car and a truck...soooooo....

[ant2190]

no, something with valves or bottom end. My 94 did that and had a knock exactly like that..i had rebuilt injectors and didnt solve it. The knock got worse on mine for some reason so i sold it and got my 97 and it definitly idles better than this and my old one.

[blackcloud1ton]

injector bad would be my guess
