heres an update for you guys.. its running again.. and wow, what a differance in output pressure and flow.. i immidiatly saw the differance when i bled the system.. it shotout the fuel from the filter purge valve and showered the hood!!! first time!!! and the T valve output is also impressive..

truck is back to starting instantly again, but its 45* today.. so maybe thats a big help..

but anyway..

that horrible twin diesel noise i had before the truck died........


busted flexplate, and yes, its a definate!! i guess my original inspection when the trans seperated wasnt as good and thorough as i thought.. hairline crack maybe? anyway, took the inspection cover off at a rest stop, and can visible see the flexplate wobbling in sync with the noise.. as if the wobbling wasnt enough.. lol.. so its going under the knife, AGAIN!! on wednesday..

at the same time, valve adjustment, hopefully ill throw in the flowmaster Xover and DP, time will tell that day..

just seen your post......i was going to say check the flex plate....glad you found it!!!...
 
im baaaaaaaack...

and man!!! i missed the sound of my engine when its running right, no more rattling, no more ticking.. just a nice throaty purr when idling

amazing.. that flex plate was transmitting all sorts of sounds thruout the engine,
clanking
clinking(thought this was valves)
thumping
tinging(thought this was injectors)
screetching....

unf***ing believable!!

all from 2 cracks, between 3 crank bolts, bolt --- bolt --- bolt

installing 2 1/4" Xover and 3" DP this weekend.. and eventually going to do a TDC learn and bump to wake up my IP ( << hint, hint, TD?? )

should be easy as pie.. had everything apart already, but i forgot the boxes home.. duh!!

thanks a bunch for everyones help and suggestions.... not just for this thread.. but all of mine.. all your help..


i tell ya..... you guys... awesome.. really... for someone being on a budget (thats me) you guys have helped me, to not only save $$, but actually put whatever i wouldve spent on labor and repairs, into making my truck better...
