    A/C Delco 60G glow plugs

    This connection is where you would tie in a fuel pressure gauge. you can also connect a hose and gauge to the fuel drain tee if that is still on the engine. it's where you drain the fuel filter and water at. using the connection at the pump is ideal so you get the reading right at the...

    A/C Delco 60G glow plugs

    The clear hose is your return line which is not under any pressure. you want to connect the pressure gauge to where the hose coming from the fuel filter going into the IP. should be a fitting sticking straight up on the drivers side right next to the cylinder shape fuel cut off solenoid. on...

    Window regulator

    I had the drivers door window start to grind. ended up replacing the motor. inside the motor there is a plastic gear that strips out. it's by design to break in the event someone's hand or head is in the line of the track when the window is closing. when you pick up or push down on the...

    6.5 Diesel Injector Rebuild

    I would like to add some info for others that want to know. I had ordered some shims off the jungle site that are 6mmx12mm and I can confirm that they do fit into the injector body. they come in a pack with 4 different sizes. I did measure them to see if the thickness and diameter is...

    My 2005 Yukon XL

    From what I recall, once it's been cleaned and reinstalled, you will need to connect the scanner and reset the ECM so it will "re-learn" the engine. I was told this a few years ago that the ECM will over time compensate for the build up and adjust how it runs. I had one that was so bad that...

    Be sure to clean out any ports or jets in the throttle body. also in the area of the IAT valve.

    6.5 Diesel Injector Rebuild

    I'm linking this DP thread here for further reading. Just ran across it and want to take the time to read though it and all the links within it. skimmed through the first page and it all seems like good info to learn from...

    6.5 Diesel Injector Rebuild

    Hopefully if the weather allows this weekend I plan to clean up my little work bench and re-mount the tester so it doesn't move so much when in use. I think that will help a lot to watch the gauge stabilizing the tester. My bench is made up from some 2x4's and 1/4" plywood. Not the greatest!

    6.5 Diesel Injector Rebuild

    Oh, and one other unknown for me. what is the knob on the side of the tester used for? I ended up somehow blowing out the o-ring on the shaft of the knob. scrounged around and found one to replace it with, but all I can tell is once the pump has been pressured up, you can turn this knob in...

    6.5 Diesel Injector Rebuild

    This evening I did a little more tinkering with two injectors. One that was full of varnish I had cleaned up and another that is a low mileage injector. I wanted to get everyone's input here as for the pressures they are working at along with spray pattern. the video doesn't show well on the...

    My 2005 Yukon XL

    I don't want to rain down on that plastic tee, but I would eliminate it completely and use a brass or stainless barbed tee and cobble up some hose and clamps to it and the existing heater lines. donno how well they last up in your climate but down here in Texas aka "Hell's Front Porch" those...

    Is this normal?

    Watching this one 🍿 my 93 has about this same amount of blow by but doesn't smoke out of the tail pipe like that. did you happen to do a compression test before pulling? do you know about how much oil it was burning though? my 93 drinks about 1/2 a quart over 50-60 miles.

    6.5 Diesel Injector Rebuild

    I know new genuine Bosch India nozzles seem to be rare now to find. I was searching around on the jungle site and ran across this chineese nozzle. I know china made ones are not to be trusted, but for the price I am curious if we could find a somewhat decent replacement to do a trial run on...

    6.5 Diesel Injector Rebuild

    You wouldn't happen to have any photos on the grove wear? I think I need to get me one of those magnifying light up units that clamp to the bench to help me see the tips better.

    My 2005 Yukon XL

    AK is right, I wasn't thinking about the cats on a newer unit. I would say just do the in tank treatment and clean the throttle body. those two should give you a noticeable difference.

    My 2005 Yukon XL

    Just fill a bottle of water and poke a hole in the cap or in the case of the throttle opening being horizontal, use an old windex bottle with sprayer. with the engine good and warm, pull the intake tube off the throttle body and run it at a high RPM while spraying a heavy mist into the...

    Most of the time the cans of sea foam or berryman's chemtool are good at dissolving any deposits in the tank, fuel lines, and injectors.
