I am not sure what your status is on this truck but my first guess would be to check your oil cooler. There is a single O-Ring in each cap that separates your oil from antifreeze. It was the first repair that I made on my 97 7.3L P.S. I am extremely glad that I did because the O-rings fell apart when I took the cooler apart. Diesel tech Ron has a great video for the oil cooler job.
I have the same engine except no antifreeze issues. Smokes so nasty some one would call the police when i cold start/ Good thing i live in countryside. Excessive start up smoke.. could be bad oil rings or out of time injection pump. But runs so good when warm with no smoke, good thing the road draft tube is installed.
so im buying the same truck as that with the same problem the guy says its the oil cooler and he also said he rebuilt the motor from the heads to the turbo is there any way to make sure its just the oil cooler and is a idi turbo really worth buying thanks
***** Ah no Detroit's are completely different motor/ brand the 7.3's are made by international and Detroit diesel is not our of Chicago it is out of Detroit MI and yes GM does make those motors so the correct term is 7.3L IDI which the idi stands for indirect injection unlike the strokers that are DI's Direct injected.
yeah a 7.3 has nothing to do with Detroit. period... I don't know why you have that in your head. 7.3 idi is an international motor, and powerstroke is a ford motor
In sted of calling that engine 7.3lt turbo diesel its also called 7.3lt Detroit Turbo Diesel Engine in sted of IDI that what I also call the 7.3lt IDI engines there also Called 7.3lt Detrot Turbo Diesel Engines!! Those Engine are built by International not GM!! Location Chicago IL
My older brother use to have a the same make and model crew cab except it's a dually 4x2 green in color

Twin I beam are for 2WD complete axel for a 4WD. Pwr Stroke is a 7.3 with a turbo installed
Power strokes are a completely different engine than a 7.3 idi.
Instead of buying a new motor could you just have bored out the cylinders and put new liners in? Or would that cost as much as a new motor?
could be an oil cooler oring it did that on my old idi

so wat are you gonna do with the powerstroke engine?
You said it was a 7.3 factory turbo but not a powerstroke. How can that be? I thought all 7.3s were diesels and all of them were called Powerstrokes.
Michael Worczak late 94 was the first year for the 7.3 powerstroke with direct injection. IDIs used indirect injection.
What type of wheels were those?

they are NOT called Detroits in any way shape or form. its made by INTERNATIONAL not DETROIT or GM.
