So what did you do with your truck today?
not a thing. Bout a month ago I found several sleeves leaking oil at the top as I heated them up looking for cracks. You put a flame on any cracked metal and it glows bright orange because of the sharp crack. Some sleeves have slipped down as much as 12 thousands in the bore too. The shop put...- icanfixall

Snap on 480 timing meter
Myself and many others use the kent moore j33300 meters. Just make sure you get all the pieces. Just the magnetic probe will cost nearly $400.00 to replace.- icanfixall

So what did you do with your truck today?
Just walked by it because I have not started pulling engine. Few months ago it pushed out coolant. So replaced 15 year old motorcraft thermostat thinking it failed closed....Nope. With cap off radiator and full of coolant it pushed most of the coolant out. Head gasket. Cracked head or block...- icanfixall

So what did you do with your truck today?

Started up engine and a gusher came out open radiator. Head gasket... Cracked liner... Cracked...- icanfixall

Oil Pressure port
There is another two main oil galley ports but they are BEHIND the oil cooler bundle. These engines were installed first in the international S1600 box or dump trucks. The hidden ports fed the onboard air compressors...- icanfixall

So what did you do with your truck today?
Saturday drove my rig bout 3 miles and started blowing coolant out the recovery tank. Cooling system was maintaining pressure so... Figured a failed closed thermostat. Added a gallon of distilled water I always carry and drove home. No problems but engine did warm up again. Today I was planning...- icanfixall

Kent-Moore J33300-A complete kit NOS $415.00
That was NOT me. Honestly the asking price was fair. Figure what it costs new or just trying to replace the mag probe sets you back nearly $400.00. I continue to offer the timing kit rental on a limited basis only. I only have one working meter at this time.. The other 11 meters have come back...- icanfixall

Show us your IP wrench!
I have "made my own" but... Prefer to use the factory wrench. I do grind it just a bit. As for the fast idle solenoid I remove it for any adjustments and... I time my engines cold if possible. To time a cold engine you remove the rear power wire on top of the injection pump and the power wire to...- icanfixall

A few questions about this “IDIT”
Only real difference in turbo and non turbo engines is the exhaust valave material being Inconel and the piston pins are larger on the turbo pistons. Non turbo blocks serial number ended at 1,116,330. Then from 1,116,331 and up came the turbo blocks.Any non turbo block can be fitted to turbo...- icanfixall

FIPL fun
I recall reading these tps switches are best replaced around 75,000 miles.Every time your throttle is moved so is the contact inside these switches moving. This movement rubs and eventually wears out the contacts. Then all kinds of problems with shifting happen... Glad you "found n fixed" the...- icanfixall
