So I tried to replace the clutch, got halfway through and realized i couldn't and put everything back together. When I went to start the truck the clutch pedal was extremely stiff and wouldn't move. It finally moved enough to where I could start the truck and then the pedal went all the way to...

Okay thanks for the info! Yeah I know there is, or was, a guy on here who lives near me because I've seen past posts from him from about 9 years ago. My fuel is 15psi, I checked it. Light hasn't come back on and off at all today so far, only this morning on the way to work when it was 30...

Very good point. It burns little, if any oil as well. It's a great running truck! The new 4" exhaust definitely added power and made it way louder! It's getting a new clutch this weekend. Meanwhile, thinking the heater core or blower motor might be going. When I turn the heat on inside the...

I know one shop that may have it

Not trying to be a jerk, it's just hard to find people around here that know these trucks. I have no problem buying an IP and replacing one myself. Just the timing the engine that's difficult. Gonna be next to impossible to find someone in the boise area who knows how to do that. I work with...

I dont have a computer to download the software nor do I know of any GM dealerships around here who'd have an old school guy that would know how to work on these. I've called about it before and two of the dealerships said they've never even had one in their shop. You'd think with idaho being...

Yeah but I have a feeling if I replace that it's still gonna be there. I dont have that kinda time or money to replace it either and there's nobody around here with enough knowledge on these trucks to be able to know how to time the engine after the new IP is put in.

Update: Code 36 with intermittent check engine light is back yet again! (no shocker there!) But only when it's super cold out after first starting the truck. Today and yesterday it only came on intermittently for a few minutes then went away. But its also 30 degrees outside. Should I do...

Sounds like something is dragging now and bad drone and loss of power. I'm thinking exhaust leak. Gonna get some clamps tomorrow.

So I poured some Stanafyne diesel treatment in the FFM the other night and put in a filter strainer since mine was missing. Code was still there for a bit then went away the yesterday morning at startup. It didnt start hard like normal though. Still smoked white a bit but no hard start and no...

Thanks for showing that link. I'll just order a heatsink. Both of my PMDs are flight systems. The connector on my 94 is a Delphi, but the shorter connector that goes to the back of the injector pump is different than the end of the Delphi connector. I cant just plug the pmd into that because...

Oh I love my truck! It's getting smokestacks here shortly. The extra pmd I just bought last week was zip tied to the egr valve on the truck it was on. Came out of a 94 half ton. It was also upside down and had no heat sink or any kind of mount. Literally just the pmd. The rest of the truck...

So just put on the other PMD I got and put in the #9 resistor and started the truck up. Of course, code 36 was alive and well and came back instantly as well as code 29. Everytime I unplug the pmd, it trips a code 29. Not sure why? This pmd got pretty warm though when it was plugged in. I...

Truck only has white smoke upon startup. Black while driving. Black smoke when I rev the engine or when I get on it. The turbo whistles pretty good though so I know the solenoid and actuator are working. I dont have a converter, my truck is straight piped. And I currently have the #7...

I'll look into it for sure. Sometime while driving, my temp gauge will go down to 0 or like 170. Sometimes it does it at idle too after I've been driving for a bit. It doesn't do it all of a sudden, it just gradually does it. It's fine while the truck warms up and stays around 180/190 for...

Well my ECT never goes over 180/190 but it blows a good amount of smoke if I revv it or get on it while driving. Especially if power shifting. Does that mean my ECT is reading incorrectly and my gauge is wrong?

So how do I know which resistor I need to use? Currently have a #7 in there.

So then the turbomaster brings down fuel mileage? Yeah I think I'll keep the stock vacuum system then. I plan on getting a better turbo at some point anyways. I'm gonna put a resistor in the pmd I got the other day ($10 at a local salvage yard, not gonna complain) and put it on the truck and...

Okay I see what you're saying now.

My ECT never goes above 180/190. I've never seen it go past that. Most the time it stays between 165 and 180/190. Adding the cold (hot) air intake seemed to help as well as the 9 blade metal fan. Green coolant helps too (Oreilleys special) but it's the green stuff and it keeps that truck...
