  1. 6.5L

    No fuel.

    If I had to guess, when the solenoid doesn't have power, your Ohms should be higher than when it has power. Or vise versa. I'm not sure what position the solenoid sits when it has power. If there is little to no change, I'd suspect a bad solenoid
  2. 6.5L

    No fuel.

    I think if you had a multi-meter, you might be able to test it without pulling the cover, but to be honest, not sure what values/trend you would be looking for. Electronics is not my strong point
  3. 6.5L

    No fuel.

    There is a solenoid that sits in the top of the injection pump. There should be your FSO wire going to the pump (I can't remember the color, pink maybe). When the solenoid gets energized, it opens, allowing fuel flow. When there is no power, it shuts, not allowing fuel. That's what shuts your...
  4. 6.5L

    No fuel.

    Even if it has power, maybe the fuel solenoid is stuck or malfunctioning. If you have fuel getting to the pump, not sure why it isn't getting out outside of the fuel shutoff. These mechanical pumps are pretty simple. It's not too hard to test. Just pull the top 3 screws off the top and remove...

    No fuel.

    No dis-respect but it seems like you have absolutely terrible luck with your fueling lol Does the fuel shut off solenoid have power?

    I took the ARP's from my Optimizer for the P400. I am going to re-test them a while down the road. For right now, AMG knows about it, so if anything happens down the road, I think it will be ok.

    I'd be curious, but like I said, you can't pay people to do a job anymore.

    So, funny story. Just cruising through facebook and saw another P400 owner having issues with the Moroso Oil Pan hitting the front diff.....am watching closely

    After talking with my engine builder a bit, we are going to let the heads fly for a while. He said sometimes a miniscule amount of leakby is ok on brand new heads and they will self-seat themselves out after running for a bit. So as for right now, due to time constraints, heads are going back on...

    I'm beginning to think a decent 6.5L is like big foot. Everybody talks about it but nobody has actually seen it.

    If I have to disassemble the whole god damn motor, I will, and make them pay every cent of a labor rate for it. I'm trying to remain civil about it, but for what I've seen so far, completely unacceptable. It's like you can't even pay people to do a job anymore. Nobody wants to work. Like a bunch...

    I cannot be more serious, but I'm really on the fence about sending the shit back, getting my money back, cutting my loses, selling the truck, and finding a new project. Maybe dabbling in the Ford IDI world. This is ridiculous. I just wrote them an email. You might have that dude tear his heads...

    well well well. Been messing with the P400 fixing oil leaks and fuel leaks. During a fire up checking the valve cover leaks, I felt a lot of abnormal air coming out of the cylinders on the intake side. So WTF. Pulled the D/S head and pressure tested the head. Every single intake valve is leaking...

    Well, hit a few minor snags. Had a fuel leak from the FFM on the bottom for the WIF. Replaced it with a spare which fixed that leak, but one of my injection lines apparently hadn't been tightened down by Thor and was leaking slightly so I got that tightened up and then some. Fixed that leak. Oil...

    Update: It RUNS!!!! And it runs damn smooth. Fired right up. Holds about 70psi oil pressure. Got the oil cooler lines in, and made custom mounting brackets. I wish I could sell it as a kit. Real only issue is the FFM is leaking from the bottom like a SOB. I think for now I am just gonna throw a...

    Yeah, the turn out was a little disappointing this year. Last year had 3 times as many competitors show up and spectators. I dont know what is up with it this year. Still fun, but nothing blowing me away like other years
