    turbo makes a bad grinding sound

    good question, appears under load, not sure the rpm's but how to determine boost leak? I have new exhaust mani gaskets, and all new crossover pipe , dp, and exhaust, so no exhaust leaks. Yeah, it's kind of like a screech, like the turbo did when it died on me. like nails on a chalkboard kind...

    turbo makes a bad grinding sound

    I just finished refreshing my idi, with new injectors, and a new rebuilt turbo. the injectors are new Delphi turbo, for 94's. The turbo is a rebuilt unit from bec's also for a 94' I have an rdt, where the intake is blocked off and the cdr, now clean, just dumps behind the engine. My oil runs...

    6.5 buildup

    I picked up a 6.5 with 150k running, no smoke, from a 97 silverado. I also have a military hummer pump, and a wastegate spring control from the same. The idea is to "egr delete plate already made". I have the seal/engine gasket set, new glow plugs, and a new water pump. Some questions, what...

    more "possibly stupid" upgrade questions

    Good idea, I guess I never thought of that because they would just sell their product without regard for what my needs are. "trust issues"

    Qssb might be an option too, but is not a bolt on deal. Price wise

    more "possibly stupid" upgrade questions

    Looking into said mods. As well as stage 1 options. I see that going big on injectors isn't a good idea? Couldn't I just de-tune and change later for when I'm not towing? Or am I missing something??? Looks like more fuel means more egt's but that can be fixed with tuning, right? I think...

    more "possibly stupid" upgrade questions

    looks like rosewood diesel injectors are the way to go for reman at 1650 thats a deal, everyone else is in the 1800+ range. since the d66 can only be had from beans I guess I'll have to go with them, and the hydra, well there is only one vendor I can find for that too. I'll source my pyro from...

    more "possibly stupid" upgrade questions

    Ok, so I plan to do a lot of heavy towing "10k+" I want to go with 238/100 hybrids but I'm stuck on the turbo to go with? I read a lot of speculation. I do not plan to do any other upgrades, perhaps exhaust in the later future, already have a ram intake. h2e, or d66? or neither? I want to go...

    Rear tank plugged???

    Not sure, but I not cutting into the lines to find out. The few inches I removed to the rear tank were clean and clear. It would pass some air but very little, the line gargled when I did this. But very little fuel even dripped out. The lines were essentially dry. If I had more time I would...

    7.3 idi running without lift pump?

    We don't have hookers here in 29 palms, we have desert yetis. And you don't have to pay them for that, unless you pay in ****. My compressor leaks like a us navy vessel, otherwise I would have used it, I really need to fix that dad thing.

    7.3 idi running without lift pump?

    I posted a new thread for it but I figured I'd post here for finality. The e-pump works great, better even after I fixed the leak on a threaded connector. I replaced the entire fuel line because of a clog, I hurt my cheeks trying to blow air through it.

    Rear tank plugged???

    Yup, I tried to clear the line and it was like trying to blow up One of those tiny balloons at a party. My cheeks still hurt. Everything seems good now.
