Poor running engine

I forgot to mention in the last post that I also added a TM.

Awesome. FYI, with a new computer, the timing must be rechecked and reset. The shop you took it too doesn't sound like they know, we don't set it by degree's, per say.

When I find some place to check it correctly, I'll have it adjusted. In the meantime it runs real good.

Here's some pix of the project:

1st, the pix of the broken IP/timing gear bolt.

More pix:

FTB and the OPS extension mods. Oh, and the vacuum solenoid/bracket were deleted.

Here's the pictures of the electronic fuel pressure sensor that I fabricated. I ordered the 1/4 T and it came with too small barbs, so I had to modify it to work. I chose to mount it in the drain hose before the T valve.

1 in shorter from current belt.
You can see the length of current belt from the part no stamped on it.

Like K061015 means 101 5/8 inches. The K06 means 6 grooves belt.
Sometimes K is replaced by the number 4 for some brand.

I ended up using K060994

After driving the truck around for a few days, it ran fine. Then I had the timing checked. The next day, I installed the Heath programed PCM. Now when I drive the truck, it starts better than it ever did, of course it started well after the work I did too, but just seems better. I've been starting it in 5-9 deg F without being plugged in.

I my experience, cold starting is always better while it's plugged in. Sometimes you just can't. You know, while out deer hunting for hours an hours. I haven't found a currant bush to plug into yet. I don't think we have them here in MN.

The truck runs great now and feels more powerful. I can now reach highway speeds by the time I reach the top of the freeway ramp. Couldn't do that before. We'll check the mileage now too. The first tank after replacing the IP, injectors, GPs and doing the FTB mod, I got 11 mpg and half of that time was spent idling to run the winch for loading logs on my trailer.

Look up a propane fired coolant heater to run while you are out hunting. If all else fails you can light it and wait an hour before starting.

Or just drag a generator with you. Use a space heater to warm the cab while you are waiting for the heaters to warm the engine.

I've been looking at Webasto heaters.
