Modmafia.com sells a fuel pressure tap for the DS4. It’s about $30 or so. Some of the guys on here found a fitting on amazon or something that works for $20ish. You want a metal fitting where no rubber hose is used after the T. Install the sending unit in that. Long story as to why - but...

Also- get ones with a lifetime warranty. I bought some and had them fail in less than a year- then different truck had one fail at about 18 months

For the signature line, post #5 by Doug is a good example of how to do a signature line. If you look, every post he has will have that identical section. The signature line automatically posts every time you reply. Mine starts with: Will Ends with the link to a thermostat option. sorry, I...

“Working” is a theoretical term for lift pumps. I & others have seen many of them make the sound like they are working and the engine will run but the ip is sucking fuel through the bad rubber seals that makes the pump actually pump. If you didn’t have a fuel pressure gauge on it- I doubt it...

Yeah, that looks like the cylinder wall has something built up on it- not worn down! It is normal to have the top ring be smaller id than the cylinder because the cylinder got worn away. That looks like gobs of oil burned onto the cylinder wall and stuck somehow. Like maybe the rings were...

Yeah, I would rather pump a ton up there if possible. I am all about keeping pistons, cylinders & heads cool. I would be quite content if my ect lived at 165 and my egt never broke 600! Haha- laughing (because it’s unrealistic) but seriously would love it.

The 309 fuel pump maxes out at 8psi and minimum rating is 6psi. The ds4 calls for 8-14 psi when checking with Stanandyne. I am assuming a new ds4 is what you are referring to as a new efi. Filling out your signature line is helpful. List the lift pump as the AC Delco EP309 and include...

Please elaborate more. I know the p400 nozzles are different than the 6mm listed above. Is there 2 different ones for the regular 6.5? I never had to chase this task before. Yes, I was thinking mine being 04 GEP it should have had them but they hadn’t dedicated all engines to the turbo...

Yes, I have TSP’s 18:1 coated pistons. But I am beginning with fuel at 110 cc and looking at hx40 running enough bikst to offset the compression drop easily. Balanced rotating assy, gear drive, german bosch marines (2 sets to swap in & out to find optimal pressure), p400 heads, roller rockers-...

these being added to help the added piston heat from the turbo addition. But they have been blamed for adding to block crack in main webs. Idk if true or not. The high volume oil pump was created for their addition, but i have used hv oil pump in non squirter blocks without zero issues other...

Just to keep these easy to find:

I have installed them on my pickups before and never added a relay. First one I got was a used so no instructions -never suspected them needing it. Probably not a bad idea since they note it but I wonder if throwing an amp meter on there would show any higher draw. Yeah, if it is a higher...

Both

Those starters sure are nice… Glad you caught it with a no part fix on the steering. Look for deals now a new one, when they run loose like that a while the lifespan isn’t great because the chatter damages the surface. Either Delco or moog- but both have a cheaper and higher quality line...

If anyone has a block where you can post pics, or anyone better at google searching than me (almost everyone probably-haha) I would like to see some oil squirter pics please. I have my 99 van block that should have them but getting to that engine is a nightmare currently. Thanks!

Head gasket test kit. I will most likely be out working- but if you don’t have one I will leave mine in the living room for my wife to give to you. The addition of a fass lift pump with filters is a given on a dmax. See lawsuits to understand why. So many destroyed injection systems is why...

The starter mentioned above is an excellent improvement. Powermaster 9052. Installation of the front brace is CRITICAL on the stock and powermaster units. Many diy and even pro mechanics don’t reinstall them because the small block and big block chevy engines don’t have/need them, so assuming...

As to glow time: you can add a solenoid with a toggle switch. A convenient one is this: https://leroydiesel.com/products/leroys-glow-plug-relay-override/ To determine if more heat helps the start-normally just cycle the key: each time the glow light turns off, turn key off then back on...

a few examples of why the 60G: the piston on the tire and the head damage is my personal…

If you been looking for an excuse to buy one of the $40 boroscopes on amazon- this is a good excuse. Pull the injector to see in there with the scope. Do the tricks loosen any stuck rings. Beginning with fakey wmi treatment as the water misting will remove carbon from cylinders injector...
