When i bought the truck it had MAJOR issues.. One being the factory water separator.. The previous owner had tossed it and hooked the rubber hoses up to a sediment bowl like we would see on most older tractors, and zip tied it on.
I went to NAPA and bought a filter base and a water separator type of filter, and I change it every 6 months (roughly every 7k miles or so)..
When I re-powered it with the 7.3, I did a long block swap.. The only things I kept and reused was the flywheel/flexplate, starter, and alternator. At that time, I did change that rubber hose that connects the steel fuel line to the fuel pump (however, i have used some of the same line on other things and have had issues, so it is possible it is going bad) and I left my water separator on the firewall (I mounted it where the factory unit was) as well as kept the one that was on the engine.. if one is good, 2 must be better right?? LOL.. I change the one on the engine about once a year, the other about 2 times a year.
At the time of re-power, all injectors were popped, and all of the plastic "caps", o-rings, and lines for return were replaced. What I did notice tonight also while diagnosing is the "valley" area appeared moist, so I may have a fuel leak in that area somewhere.
It was dark and cold, and I wasn't going to pull the snowmobile and tractor out of the barn and fire up the heat tonight, but I probably will tomorrow and begin to fix up some of my issues.. It's amazing how a few cold days bring out the issues you've never noticed all summer.. LOL..
