    1985 6.2 Motor surges when running, unsure what it could be

    Fuel-line.com for the ideal clear fuel line. Otherwise any hardware store sells clear tubing by the foot. One foot is way more than enough. 1/4” diameter. Replace the line that comes out the front it the ip in an upside down “U” shape. I suggest getting two screw style hose clamps because...

    6.5TD dies after running awhile, especially when slowing down or after running and idling

    Item# 300 where they made something not interchange so they could track ifthe change made the correction. (Hint: it didn’t). Is the one you bought lifetime warranty? If not return it and buy one from Leroydiesel.com. Having a ready to go spare on hand is a simple requirement of owning this...

    Turbo blanket

    Yeah it’s an internally altered mitso TD-07 so a blanket would fit. But trying to find one for it is rough. You probably need to take rough measurements and call a few companies. Or buy the materials and see how much free time can be used up…

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    Get a leak down tester. Bring the piston to TDC both valves closed. Attach tester to cylinder like you would a compression tester. Add shop air and increase pressure slowly up to 100 psi. Reading the second gauge losses: 0-10 psi is excellent 10-20 psi is ok (some gas engines 15-18 is limit)...

    97 hard start suddenly

    That is not a full sized manual. The pictures that I previously posted here, the page, and a couple other 6.5 sites in the past had that info and went into detail why they are running those specs. Basically you run it too low a pressure and too high a pressure to stress it on the bench, and...

    97 hard start suddenly

    I went through training to rebuild the pumps at the stanadyne site when they were the only authorized training center. One of the two engineers who created the ds4 taught the class. I am telling you- the pressure is 8-14 psi according to the engineer who made the thing. Your information is...

    97 hard start suddenly

    No, Ford never went for ds4. Thats when they dumper the idi 7.3 and introduced the 7.3 powerstroke The pmd issue was learned and been solved for years. Just not everyone knows it yet. It needs to be on a heat sink with at minimum the thin thermal contact pad, best is arctic silver5. Mount...

    They do get cko stuff, and some that is third party mfr that builds some for snappy and some for others. If unaware of examples- search HF jack same as snappy. The original blue oval LED was same exact mfr that made them for MAC when I was Mac tool guy.

    Remember the more boost you have the more blow by you have. If you have a manual waste gate, turning it down helps as does keeping your foot out of it.

    `Smokey Starts getting worse with the colder weather

    I haven’t even checked mine out yet. Thats on the “to do” list. Busy trying to find parts I need that might be on sale - Apparently old diesel parts just don’t do it that often. Wondering if anyone has the roller rockers on sale…hmm…

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    Always nice to hear it back to running. Good planning on the board to stop possible runaway. My plan is to buy a cable action throttle body from ebay. Add basically a choke cable to it permanently mounted in dash so a pull of the cable blocks all airflow. Should cost under $100 and take a day...
