At the risk of sounding like a teen ager, I need to ask a question. As will become immediately apparent, I don't know Diddley, about a diesel engine. This truck was bought 5 years ago, and has sat in my back lot for 4 of those years. The first year It was in the shop ( one guy, or another ) No one ever cured my excessive oil useage, but I parked it after $6000.00 in repairs. One shop pulled the engine, and put in new front and rear seals, and pan gasket. When I got it back the last time I drove a 60 mile round trip, to pick up a deep freezer, and used over a gallon of Rotella 15-40. One guy told me that fords didn't have a turbo on their 7.3's in 1990, and the one on mine must have been an add on. The same guy said that the oil was being burned because of the turbo seals. In the beginning of this debacle, I had my mechanic give it a compression test, and he said they are all good, so therefore I started to look for other causes. The truck still (today) starts good, and runs down the road good, but often will leave a white cloud behind me. Can I delete the turbo, to see if that helps?? I still am on the first tank of fuel, from 5 years ago. I am afraid to use it. It is a 1990 Ford superduty 350 dually, and I need it as a trailer puller.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
