tonight on log truck.........it's a break from the trans pump issues as i gather my thoughts and plan my next steps to get the E40D repaired/hd reman/used-replaced.
moving forward,it's onto some more fun stuff! it's idi tune up time with some new Stanadyne G code fuel injectors.what ford used in the 93-94 trucks with the optional turbo.also what i used in chip truck (yeah,this thread very well could be called "the chip truck build thread that never was" thread" lol)
a Delphi fuel injector install kit with viton brown dash size 111 bought separately.(having great success with these on chip truck)
also a new FIPL/TPS and dialing that in.
i had planned to get out the timing equipment and time the engine as well guys,but my trans is dry and i can't burn her up.so this part will have to wait.
tips for injector install;
be sure not to cross thread your fuel lines.start them with pliers on the lines and gently turn the nut by hand only while moving the line around in a circle real slow to help you line it back up.only after a few turns using your fingers do you want to introduce the 5/8 to 'em.
be sure the copper crush washers remove with the injectors.check each one.if they don't come with the injector then they must be removed with a pick.
use lots of petroleum jelly on your new o-rings prior to sliding them on the new injectors.
it doesn't hurt to buy a couple spare feet of diesel rated fuel hose on hand,as the kits are pretty stingy providing the stuff.
clean.clean.clean.keep the plastic tips on the pintle end of the injector until your ready to install it.
measure the hose twice and cut once.
when moving a GP controller such as i had to do here,insure you unhook the battery first.
anti seize on the threads to help you or the next owner out.
when setting the caps,if your unsure if the cap "seated" then it didn't.
log truck looks to have had a matched set of injectors.they read as Stanadyne D code.
from ford in '93 they would have been Stanadyne E code (as she come non turbo.)
i bet this cures the smoky exhaust the miss the engine had and pumps up the power.
