I honestly don't know what's going on with the injectors sorry.
WRT to picture two, shown above, this is where I connected my oil feed line for the turbo. I used a brass 45* with short brass pipes to get things up to where access could be had, T'd it for the OPS and the feed line. The lower...
Member 635 has fond memories of his OTR time on US-50 too.
I've driven it across the state many times. A few times across NV and to CA as well. Really like the lack of traffic and ease of passing or being passed. Just move along at your own pace. If you're really looking for solitude, try the...
Installed new Rotors and Pads as the old set had developed a bit of a grinding noise on the left. It started right after I had shown my daughter how to retract the caliper piston a bit to get the assy. off when she does her brakes at a later time. Anyway, new set needed breaking in so I went out...
Maybe have saved you the cost of a gasket kit but, maybe not to your advantage.
Unless I'm mistaken, that is the 'advance cover assy. There's a seal under there, not a gasket and, of course, it's a unique one.
No idea where to source one. I'll keep looking through the manual to see if it could...
Good to know, thanks.
Can’t post the link to the site since it competes with Leroy but, having had his set up on my truck for over 12 years, I know where I’d spend my cash and save $10 too.
Welcome.
I don’t know if Bruce is still marketing on his own as his web address, ptwiringsolutions.com is no longer functioning (links you to other decidedly not diesel stuff). However, he may be marketing through other vendors. Closest match I could find was on Leroy Diesel’s site...
More happy snaps from the races.
Morning “Q” waiting for the officials to open the salt.
This one went 365+mph at the 5 mile timing line. The qualifying time was closer to 375 on a 355 record. Yeah, bump it a little higher for next year.
Once you qualify or go faster than the current record...
Back from another trip to Bonneville where I used the truck as a “Tool Über”. We ran Mursick’s Karman Gia for the season’s last race, World Finals. Loaded the truck up with my road kit plus awning, chairs, cooler, more power tools, spare wire etc. cause the nearest parts store is about a 1.5...
All GPs were removed. The exhaust downpipe wasn’t installed until after we confirmed fuel present and the Glow Plugs, specifically #8, were re-installed.
The starter is a non-issue being under the motor and well away.
No worries about diesel mist igniting. Not enough heat and zero compression...
After confirming fuel at the FFM, we did the glow plugs removed and disconnecting the glow plug controller for BigT's first start.
Took just two 10-15 second iterations before we got mist.
"How long does it take to get fuel to the LP w/empty fuel tank and fuel lines?"
The LP can't pull fuel from an empty fuel tank. Sorry, couldn't resist.
Once there's fuel in the tank, it doesn't take long at all for the LP to do it's job and running the LP dry won't hurt it until it primes...
Fun day yesterday at Utah Smitty's. Took the upper intake off and barely loosened the IP nuts to see if we could get the IP to maybe turn with the Quadstar Adjustment tool. My thoughts were maybe the Previous Owner had just Permatexed one side of the IP Gasket. Can't hurt to be a positive...
Happy to help.
Correct. There are bolt on and spin on fan models but, during the testing, the Spin On one (GM 88894035) produced the best results for the article.
Apparently they tried an improved GM pump w/ bolt on fan from 98 w/ dual T-Stats. While it flowed more at 94GPH vs. the older...
From a 2008 MaxxTorque article on the topic of 6.5 engine cooling, “Testing [of multiple pumps] proved that
coolant flow was reasonably equal – side-to-side – only at low RPM.”
The conclusion of the testing showed GM Pump part number 88894035 (97 and later) was the one that provided the more...
