Might be a silly question, but how is a cylinder leak down test done? I assume it's what it sounds like, pressurizing the cylinders with air and seeing how fast it bleeds off?

Yes, I verified that it has the right adapter. it's a 10mm x 1.0 thread it also has the adapter for testing though the injector hole.

Now that I think about it, I did have to trim my resistor, not for the extension, but when I replaced my PMD. the newer one had a different shape to it, also had to trim the one if the pointy things on the connector too. iirc there is a TSB somewhere that shows this modification to the...

Test results.

The ultrasonic cleaner arrived today! it's rather small, but will work for my needs. filled it with tap water to test, powered it on and dipped a small piece of aluminum foil in the water. within a few seconds I started to see the foil form pin holes within. tried the heat and set it to...

was snooping on the web at work today and found out Harbor Freight had their diesel compression tester on clearance! got off work and ran to snag one up. Now I have most of the tools I need to see the condition of the engine in the 93. also can do a compression test on the 6.2 too.

if you ever run across a pmd where when the resistor is installed and the connector won't fully seat. move the resistor to the harness where it plugs into the truck harness near the IP. That's what I did so I wouldn't need to worry about it when swapping out PMD's Glad to hear you got the...

so long as you connected the same wires to the wire on the connector that shouldn't make a difference on how it runs. are there any codes now with it running rough? might try to get it back to the -0.88 that is a good medium setting. from reading on the innerwebs folks are saying...

My 95 has lasted me 4 going on 5 years now and is still a good running truck, has it's flaws like eating steering parts and the starter mount on the block. AC compressor I think has finally gone fubar, I recharged it right before the weather changed, now it's completely empty. Been...

Parked the 93 (black truck) in the back today. Might be parking it for the duration of the winter months if not longer. with the recent hard to start, I'm not sure if it's an issue with GP's or just that the engine is so far wore out it's showing it's difficulty in the cooler temps. I know...

Guys, I just ordered a small ultrasonic cleaner to try and clean up a hand full of 6.5 injectors I have, most are gummed up and have varnish on them. I did try them on an engine I have on a stand by pulling the IP line up enough to just test it out of the engine. some popped and some didn't...

A beauty! you need some custom classic plates on it now!

I would think the offset is a little high, mine being a obd1 won't go over -1.99 before setting a code. I have it set iirc at -0.7 and it seems happy. your vid post FFM and the pressure jumping around as well as at 1000 rpm me thinks the filter is causing a restriction? does it jump any pre...

"Like a Rock" Looks awesome!

I'm actually tempted to take this one I recently bought apart and see what limits it's 1.2 amps. I only paid $6 for it on their sale but now are $9. I think it's just a simple bridge rectifier converting wall power to DC and then a two stage voltage regulator inside. it's as small as a...

Today in between the rain showers I decided to toy with the block heater on the 93. instead of ordering a replacement electric cord for it, I rigged up one of those two prong plugs I had from an old radio. found that the pins on the block heater fit perfectly into the cord after I split and...

That's the issue I found with the automatic charger I bought a few months ago from the jungle site. it puts out max of 10 amps but once it reaches full charge it shuts down and doesn't turn back on until it's disconnected and reconnected. I had left it on the 95 trying to keep the batteries...

Very nice. Love the look of the tips too!

This is the one I have. despite the sour reviews it seems to work fine. just have not tried to connect it to a dual battery setup yet. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08LLFQNNJ

Got the refurbished batteries installed late evening. kinda goofed as I didn't pay attention to which side the positive posts were on. both of these were backwards. Luckily I was had enough cable length to get the connected using some top to side post adapters. I didn't feel like cutting...
