our truck was a 6.9 non turbo and it was definately noisier. it got old quick with me since the trucks are already noisy. that truck engine blew and we got rid of it so i didn't have to deal with it for long :)
When we got our clunker it had no material on the striker pins. I had some 1/2" pex tubing laying around from a travel trailer rebuild. Cut a piece to length, slit it down the middle and popped it on with the the seam pointing away from the truck and epoxy. Niether door moved until we junked...
I had one of these on my trucks before it blew up and it never had a problem, less than 10,000 miles. Since then it has sat on the shelf with diesel in it and looped lines. I went to use it to prime my old vw and it won't pump? Its clacking just like always but doesn't seem to want to do the...
45 minutes into the trip and your battery power delivery was worse than when you started?
Have you had your batteries tested outside the truck? If they are good your alternator isn't charging.
A few years ago when I got my first diesel we got it from an abusing owner that said it was...
post a video of a cold start and running for the first minute.
what color smoke are we talking about?
you can probably get your timing close if you look at the smoke patterns and listen for the diesel cackle and know your engine. but its going to be hard to get it perfect.
my old vw...
I have seen the hot restart problem and its the injection pump.
When we got our truck we put the glowplugs on a manual switch. Engine had 220,000 miles when we got it, from 380-440 compression. 10 seconds on first start of the day. If its summer time we could go dirtbiking for hours, park...
If you are talking about converting a system over technically the "right" way you need to basically replace all the parts due to higher pressures of the r134 so that picture and price leads me to believe you will be short on parts.
Or you could just clean up all the parts and flush them if...
i wonder if its possible for changes in fees throughout the years leads to differences, etc.
at face value you have all the crap fees and registration, and for pickups they are supposed to have these weight fees on top of that.

if memory serves me i remember watching something on tv about this stuff and they were claiming you don't have corrosion or cavitation issues down the line?
having no pressure in the hoses surely would extend their life?
regardless of coolant i have learned on my old diesels to use one of...
i like them because of the size and you can custom mount multiples that take up less room than the round gages. only thing that sucks is you need 1 each if you want to watch multiple inputs in real time.
hook up the aux buzzer to an aircraft buzzer from ebay for people that borrow your...
Technically it does and you might be surprised to find very little "fuel" line out there is diesel rated. Up to you if you want to take the chance of hosing breaking down and causing restrictions and/or bits to be pumped through your injection system. That could be a very costly mistake.
If...
If you aren't talking about cranking speed, I had that happen on our truck with a uhaul injection pump months ago.
Freaked me out at the time wondering if I messed up the timing, etc.
I could start the truck up cold and then venture out and do some short stops and have it restart just a...
So when you start it up and its smoking white, you smell it and it stings like unburnt fuel?
The fact it gets better when warm on that front probably means you just have some air intrusion somewhere even though it might not be leaving puddles on the ground, etc.
Seen it when I first got...
FS: 1985 diesel parts--glowplugs, vacuum pump, alternator
Only things I have left on the shelf collecting dust from the truck in my sig that we had towed away because the engine went south. Not even sure if these are worth shipping. Glowplugs would be cheap to send. Alt and vacuum pump...
