My new truck

[Dave01]

Maybe install one injector per month, finish up in November?

 

[Will L.]

Too busy putting wood on the fire trying to stay warm

 

[BIGR]

It's that new wood boiler, he has to keep it fed on a regular basis.....

 

[Husker6.5]

It has to be all that waiting for the three weeks you can work between Spring thaw and Fall freeze!

 

[ak diesel driver]

my uncle always said 9 months of winter and 3 months of tough sledding

 

[Jaryd]

Where did you get the floor mats from. I like them

 

[ak diesel driver]

IIRC JC Whitney

 

[Jaryd]

Thanks. I'm going to check them out

So it appears that I have an exhaust leak.

 

[ak diesel driver]

Injectors are in, still waiting to see if my buddy at the snowmachine shop can surface the manifold, if not I'll buy a stone and use my milling machine. Injectors sure were easy to get to without the manifold in the way.

 

[Will L.]

Surface the manifold? Just lay that sucker on a belt sander and take off 'bout so much....

 

[3500GMC]

Manifold is ok it appears. I see evidence of a big bullet flange leak. I think?

 

[ak diesel driver]

what's a big bullet flange leak? It was warped so I want to try and get it flat again. Never had much luck trying to use a belt sander on that spread out of a surface

 

[ak diesel driver]

Surface actually has a twist to it as well only the #2 hole was sealing all the way around. The other 3 leaked on the top half

 

[Husker6.5]

Time for an exhaust manifold gasket?

 

[3500GMC]

what's a big bullet flange leak?

Where the V band clamps.. The round sooty part.

Anyway, get yourself a fly cutter. Forget getting stoned.

 

[ak diesel driver]

well all I have left is installing the turbo and inner fender. Got it pretty flat with a real surface grinder. Interesting note I popped all the old injectors as I pulled them out, almost all of them peed a stream before they officially popped. Pressure ranged from 1500-1800. I will be disappointed if it doesn't start better and run smoother

 

[Will L.]

I think youll be happy. Better atomization is a good thing

 

[ak diesel driver]

Sooo... Got the turbo bolted on and discovered that the angle had changed enough that the braces wouldn't fit any longer, I think my buddy picked the wrong port to try and go off of. So I waded out in the snow and found one of my other manifolds. I figured I'd surface it with my mill this time, so it should be good to go now.
I guess on the plus side the old manifold should come off pretty easy now.

 

[ak diesel driver]

I think now that I have my setup on the mill done I'll go ahead and mill the other one too.
