Perhaps research the engine type. For example, I have a late 70's vintage TCM forklift (Japanese) and it uses a Datsun 4 cylinder engine. Currently, I trying to find an air cleaner for it and it appears that a Datsun truck engine is the same. So, maybe your forklift shares an engine with...
Did the resistor come over from the last PMD? Disconnect the PMD from the harness and look into the female end. There should be a tiny circuit board looking piece bottomed in the female side of the harness. Note: This also could be at done at the at the other end of the harness since you now...
I wound up using the Anchor mounts after fighting with the urethane mounts. I still have the urethane mounts if anyone is interested. The urethane mounts seemed significantly larger than factory or Anchor mounts. Truck is fairly smooth with new rubber mounts.
I got the urethane mounts but, they won't fit it the factory clam shell. I'm thinking I was sent the wrong mounts. I believe there's a difference between 2 and 4 wheel drive
Sorry about your incident Stoney. I too have an issue with AAA. Over the summer it was very hot and needed a tow. Two hours later AAA finally showed up and the driver was all pissed off that we had kept calling his dispatch to get an ETA because they kept stringing us along. Once loaded, the...
My crank didn't break but, my block was cracked at the #7 cylinder. I bought the Optimizer and never looked back. My original mileage was only 93k so I figured my truck (1/2 ton) was worth the cost of a new motor. I looked at like this; many hot rodders spend 10's of thousands of dollars on...
One other Thing to consider is; did you swap the same configuration of engine? There are different models through the series of trucks, vans,etc. I'm mostly referring to the "pre-cup" sizes. Your 1/2 ton would have smaller pre-cups (light duty) than say heavy duty version with larger pre-cups...
Could be air intrusion into your fuel system while sitting...evident on start up by rough idle. Can't speak to your modifications but, if vac pump is inop and their are no codes then perhaps there has been some kind of ECM reprogramming done or someone removed the SES bulb from the instrument panel.
I would pull all the glow plugs therefore you could look around each glow plug hole for signs of moisture i.e. coolant. Additionally, I would hand turn it a few revolutions at the flexplate using the appropriate flexplate turning tool...one shouldn't turn it by the harmonic balancer bolt...
I had it done on a Ford 6.9 IDI diesel which cracked from a freeze plug into a downward angle. I did this knowing that I would be able to keep my eye on it. Having said that, I would be skeptical about a repair inside the block that I would not be able to check on.
