Strange Injector line on a DB2..Is this normal ??

[Acesneights1]

This is the 1st 6.5TD I have worked on with a DB2. What gives with that weird looking inj line ? Is that factory ? I have had plenty of DB2's on 6.2s and never saw that. This truck is Godsmacks' truck. it's a mess. we have alot of cleaning up to do. I tapped it for gauges and am getting ready for a TM install tommorow. wiring is badly butchered . The engine and truck is missing bolts everywhere. Lot's to do but a nice truck over all. There was oil all over the intake and looked like it was coming from the gasket that selas the upper intake...well the PO stripped two of the upper intake bolts trying to use american thread. I had to use helicoils. All back together. he needs a turbo to intake support if anyone has one for sale PM me.

Think his CDR is shot. ton's of oil in the intake. Gonna look at the trubo but CDR looks to be original.

are all support bars the same?

It looks like it could be an after market line, it's definitely different.

The bracket would be easy to make, either a piece of flat bar with the holes drilled or take a piece of pipe and squish the end in a vise or beat flat with a BFH and drill the holes.

That's the #1 injector line. It's a thingy for timing I think.

That aint factory Kenny. Looks like some kind of adapter? And from the sound of the way this PO liked to do things I'll bet there is plenty more from that came from. Which truck is this?

 

[3500GMC]

My '93 had this. Pretty sure it was an OEM thing.

 

[Acesneights1]

are all support bars the same?

AFAIK yes.

 

[Acesneights1]

OK, never saw it on a 6.2

 

[Acesneights1]

Godsmack. He just joined. It's a 93 K3500 with a 6inch lift and a NV4500. My dream truck. Motor is supposedly rebuilt.

 

[BigBlueChevy]

:32ictures lol That sounds like a dream rig to me too. I sure hope the PO didn't overhaul that motor.

 

[Acesneights1]

Seems to run decent.

That is a factory injection line. It is a pulse adapter for a GM or snap on timing tool. My 92 and 93s have them as did my 91 6.2.

 

[BigBlueChevy]

Interesting. Guess nobody bothered to take it off then? It looks like it threads into the fitting?

 

[Burning oil]

X2 what Brad & Berry said. Its factory # 1 line. Dont loose it or your srewed.

I never seen that before,and i seen plenty 6.2

 

[turbonator]

It is the timing attachment for these DB2 pumps.

My brother removes them to use as oil inlet fittings for the Holset VGT turbo's.....

 

[Acesneights1]

I never seen that before,and i seen plenty 6.2

Same here. That must be for use with that elusive Kent Moore Timing light.

 

[Acesneights1]

Yeah, aftermarket lines don't have it.

I see you are keeping busy, Ken... There are a lot of extra bolts on these trucks, don't ya know... just ask the guys at Lee's auto ranch...
