YOU CANNOT GO BY “it starts”. You need to use a separate meter on the battery to see what it is actually charging. Post a pic of the wires plugged into the alternator now so we can see whats been done.

I would caution against guessing at the pressure specification. I have seen injection pumps that ran on 4-5 and if it was at 3 or 6 it wouldn’t run right at all. Find the specs is step 1

CONGRATS MAN! enjoy the ride

Someone is about to say something regarding attaching a fuel pressure gauge at the ip inlet…

In the way back machine- I couldn’t find wrenches to fit it well. The handle was wrong shape or head of the wrench too fat. So I took a 6 pointed socket, cut off the end, and tack welded a piece of 1/4 steel rod to it. Then with the rod about 12” long, I heated & bent the rod into the shape I...

Hope you heal fast man.

Yes Mod Mafia was selling one- it was female flare: male flare w/1/8” Female npt for the sensor. It was for the FTB modded units that have the larger size. Idk if they are still selling them or not.

As in you are going to sell the assemblies or you are going to sell your personal one and are going to something else? And does anyone have a cozy used couch for sale if I buy this? I like my bed but my wife likes her savings account… somethings like burning my steak or getting a turbo is just...

Im not the guy. I give away every ds4 & pmd I lay my hands on. DB2 gang for life YO! 😂. Much easier for us with either 5/16 or 3/8 npt fittings. We add a piece of stainless steel tubing to get out from under the intake manifold and have a T fitting right there where the ffm used to be. I...

If you are talking about the high pitched sound that lasts about 1 second the instant the engine stops cranking- that is the starter free spinning. Basically the engine “bucked” as in:almost started. It speeds up faster than the starter for just a moment and the starter automatically...

Oh, I bet it would make it OUT of the driveway. Down the road and back INTO the driveway might be difficult! Haha

Good solution

If it is just the sensor- you’re not. If the oil pressure is dropping- stepmone is checking oil level. Feel consistency of the oil, make sure it’s still thick, and no fuel mixed into it. Low pressure for one of these reasons needs addressing.

This is where a WORKING low coolant alarm is an engine saver. Engine running at 200°, loose coolant & the temp gauge will take forever to drift to a cooler level, meanwhile the engine isn’t getting the coolant it needs and the engine gets smoked. A working low coolant alarm tells you to pull...

Did you connect them & try it?

Those can be hard on the threads. Rule of threaded rod tools is: hand tools only. I break that rule often, but I don’t cry when I ruin one from it also… Just like Roy Rogers- go easy on Trigger.

Holy light bulb moment Batman! Remember when the hard starting and extra smoke in the morning began? The day after that switch got broke is my bet. I was focused on that you got it hot. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Betcha that is the hard start & smoke show the whole time- not counting the battery/alternator...

Yes- that rear temperature sensor with the two wires- this is its job: 1. Tells glow controller how long to run 2. Tells db2 to advance timing for easier start and get fuel in the cylinder sooner since it all isn’t burning away yet. 3. Tells throttle advance solenoid to hold the idle slightly...

It’s all how they made the die portion and reduced drag where ya can. That little dab of grease on the threads & under the nut flange helps. Long handle GearWrench ratcheting wrench helps - It isn’t a hard job, just annoying.
