Check the grounds on the pass side of the block. Make sure they are not on the oil dip stick stud. Colby

Up in the local mountains for a few days and am having some issues with the cold starts. Yesterday is was about 16 degrees outside when I started her up. I knew it was going to be a hard start so I let the glow plugs cycle through a couple of times. Even with that it took about three minutes of...

Looks cool. What turbos are you running? How long did it take for the build up? Looks like you need to get some fresh are for those intakes. Colby

What size wire from battery to starter do you think is best? The wire looks like its in good shape, but like you guys said better to replace it now while I have it out then down the road. I will clean the grounds while I am under the truck tomorrow. Colby

I don't know if its the same problem, but that soulds simmiler to what I was dealing with. My issue was one dead battery and one dying starter. Colby

http://www.thewakemans.net/starter_bolt_block.html http://www.thewakemans.net/starter_bolts_bottom.html Here are some pictures of the three bolts that are holding the starter to the engine block. The two on the bottom are easy to get off. The one on the side of the block is more of a pain. I...

Took the starter into NAPA and it failed. $144 for a reman. Both ends of the positive cable (starter and battery side) look good. Is there anything else that I shold do while I have the starter out? Any grounds down on the bottom passenger side of the engine that should be cleaned? Just...

I picked up one for each side from Rock auto. Think they were like $15 each. They come with the mounting brackets that attach to the upper arm, the steering knuckle and the frame. I hear that if your hubs are going out that will cause the ABS sensor to fail. My dad just bought new hubs for his...

Got it!!! Thanks. I had the tire off already because I was replacing the ABS cable on that hub. Figured it was a good time to attack the starter. It was not as hard as I thought it was going to be. By the other threads I read on here it sounded like it was going to be much harder...

How many bolts hold on the starter? I have removed the two long ones that go vertical through the starter and into the block. The starter now wiggles but it feels like there is more holding it on. Having some issues starting the truck. When I try to start the engine (hot or cold) it sounds...

Is there a way to add a aux tank to a burb? Colby

This looks great. Going to have to do this to my truck. Maybe tomorrow Colby

This looks like a fun progect. Can't wait to see how it turns out. Colby

Looks like a fun new project. Have any pics of the inside? Colby

How many AMPs does a stock truck pull. Say everything is on lights, heater/ac, radio, windows going up and down, computers, etc?

Thanks for the ideas. I will try the hose from the flat box tomorrow and let you know how it works out. If not I guess I will post a want ad in the classifieds. Colby

Last week I ordered a K47 Air box for my 95 burb. Only problem is I did not ask for / get the hose that goes from the air box to the turbo. I called the junk yard (LKQ Crystal River) and they said that they don’t sell the hoses. He looked for the truck in their inventory and could not find...

I will try adding two quarts of SAE-30 to the tank. I was only adding one and with the 44 gal tank that must not have been enough. Thanks for the insight. Is there any chance that this might be leading to something worse? Maybe something giving out? Colby
