@Stoney,
First, where is it leaking on the cooler line, and how bad? I have been known to stretch a little life if its only leaking at the crimp. Leaking at the block is a mandatory park till fix. OEM lines for the 97+ piston squirter engines are actually more expensive than new lines from...
Hey all,
Was scrolling through ebay, and found a few gems. These mauals are elsewhere on ebay, but for much higher prices, I felt these were worth sharing due to value...
OK, not a problem. :)
Do you know if the shroud is the "shallow" one that has sharp stiffening ribs and thinner plastic, or is it the thick sculpted shroud?
I "think" the shallow sharp ribbed one went hand in hand with the thread on fan clutch.
Dang, that does not sound fun! Hopefully they can get it sorted out and it can get back to making money.
Dont dump it too soon, make her work for her oats for a while. :)
If it runs perfect when warm, my vote is for the cold advance piston in the injection pump is shot. It will need sleeved during a rebuild.
One of many reasons the DB2 does not excite me... :)
It has a GEP valve cover, still in the military crate. wants 400 bucks. 1000 miles from home, (but will be within 10 miles of my next trip out west) so I figure its worth the risk.
Check fuel pressure, glow plug operation, etc.
Lots of little problems add up to a big problem.
Best case, a new OPS and a few glow plugs, worse case a new injection pump and injectors.
Overall, still better than a new pickup if you dont need the power. a full set of 6.5L injectors costs what...
Hey all,
I ran across what the seller claims to be a GEP 6.2L. Is this possible? I thought GEP only made 6.5Ls.
Regardless, for the price (well under1K) I think I will buy it, but I just wanted to know more.
Any info appreciated, thanks!
The OEM quick connect is orficed slightly, and the 6.2L's heater hose nipple fitting is also orficed. I have never thought much of the hardware store bar fitting route many take when deleting the quick connect.
IMO run the OEM fitting or get a 6.2L nipple, dont do anything else.
Does anyone actually have any time to spare though? :) If he wanted an immediate sale and offered immediate service, he would have put "calls only" and gave out his phone number.
This is like getting mad when someone wont respond immediately to a text message.
JMO though.
