Engine install thread, opinions welcome

Finally got her in and running.

P0251 & P0370. Tranmission is shifting hard. Other than that, runs good

Going to try a little 2 cycle in the fuel, and check harness connections to the trans

Video of everything to follow

Sending unit for temp gauge. It's going to be moving to the pan soon

The hose store?
Blew the old one on a Friday nite, no one had an OEM in stock. So I went to an industrial supply outlet. Picked up that ridiculous thing for $40. Never have to worry about it blowing again

Yeah, a lot of heavy equipment and some semis run that stuff. Nice once its in, but serious p.i.t.a. To put in sometimes. Heavy, too.

Ooh I definitely fought with it. But once it's on and holding under pressure, you're laughing. The metal coil in it makes things interesting

 

[Will L.]

Oh yeah, the trick with that is a cutoff wheel and pulling out a about an inch of the coil, so when you cut it off it will spring back inside th hise and not leave a razor edge out to cut you later.

Haven't edited this yet, but here I am fighting with it

With the extreme vibration of 21:1 compression that stiff hose is likely to fatigue and snap off the inlet to the radiator.

Need help guys

My P0251 & P0370 will not go away.

Instant they are erased they're back.

Put 2 cycle in the fuel, no air in the fuel (confirmed by the clear return line), getting 4.5-5.5psi at the FFM at idle. No leaks.

Doesn't start great, seems like air is getting in somewhere

 

[Will L.]

Do you have a clear line on the IP return? 1/4" x 6" piece is all you need and watch for bubbles to eliminate any air in fuel questions.

After that, read this thread- it covers bases well

I did with clear line, zero bubbles

What's this koko test?

 

[Blue-canoe]

Nevermind, found it.

I don't have a scan tool, can I try the koko anyway?

 

[Blue-canoe]

I'm going to try the koko anyway since the IP was never moved, assuming it's in the correct spot now, and was before when it ran

 

[ak diesel driver]

It will reset the tdco problem is you won't know what it's set at.

 

[Will L.]

Yeah, finding a scanner is really on top of your list.

No bubbles coming out of the ip means there is no air in there, so take that out of the equation.

Its my old man's shop, had nearly everything I guy could want /need.
The starter is only a month or two old. Started the truck maybe 5 times before the piston cracked.
