    Leaking return caps

    Good morning all. Just curios if anyone is having return line issues and how long you're getting out of a set of O rings. I replaced my return line system 4 years ago along with my injection pump and injectors, that was at 164,000 miles. I now have 202,000 miles and every return cap is *******...

    Fast idle struck on

    Hi all. So yesterday I was driving my truck, totally warmed up and my fast idle and timing advance turned back on. I always had heard that the sensor for these usually just quits working but mine seems to have the opposite attitude. Can I get a little insight on how to test that switch and what...

    Let’s talk fan clutch

    so I know this has been beaten to death already. Anyone who read my axle seal thread, knows I had to drive from Vegas to Cali yesterday. I replaced my fan clutch a few days ago with one from oreyiles, or however it’s spelled. Anyway, I watched my temp gauge climb all the way to 240 on mountain...

    C6 shifts without vacuum

    my sons 86 with a c6 has been having a problem lately of shifting way too early. I thought it was a vrv adjustment but upon further investigation and unhooking the vacuum line, I discovered it shifts without vacuum and shifts way to early. Can someone point us into what we need to check...

    Ugh! Big problem?

    hey all. I've been using my truck daily for pool service and repair but lately, it's hard to steer and when I turn corners and drive on curved roads, the wheel doesn't want to return back to center. I had the steering box replaced last August due to a leak and thought maybe it was going bad, so...

    Cali trip

    so last weekend, I drove the truck to Victorville to install a furnace at a friends house. This was the first trip I've taken since dialing everything in. The last time I tried to leave town, the tensioner broke on the way out of the driveway, so I took my expedition instead. The truck ran...

    Larger transmission pan

    so I see summit has a pan for the e40d that holds an extra 4 quarts for two hundred and something bucks. Not knowing much about transmissions, is it worth the money for extra capacity, or a waste of money? I also plan on putting a 6.0 style cooler on it, as I've read they are the best for...

    Before and after

    So when I bought this truck, I hated the tan color and had planned to have it painted white. The tan was oxidized and had a bunch of stains and streaks that wouldn't wash off. I decided to have my detailers come over last Saturday and rub the paint out and wax it. It came out pretty good, almost...

    Oil temp sensor

    good morning. Whoever previously installed an oil temp gauge in my truck, used the drain hole in the pan for the sending unit. Not only does is drip a little but it's a pain for changing the oil. Can someone suggest an easy place to move it to and I'll go buy a normal drain plug. Thanks!

    Champion replacement

    as I mentioned on another thread yesterday, my champion radiator has sprung a leak. New one should be here in the next day or two. There is a threaded plug on one end and I would like to utilize that port on the new radiator as a drain. Does anyone know what size and thread type that is? I'd...

    New GP harness, looong run time

    Hey all. So I just replaced my glow plug harness with a custom made one from eBay and now my wait time is really long and I have no more afterglow.

    Are these olives?

    So I just got my new pump, injectors and return line kit from Mel and there are some extra parts in the return line kit that I've never seen before. They look too hard and thick to be olives but maybe they are. I want to use them on my fuel line from the filter to the injection pump, as mine are...

    Ughhhh!!

    has anyone ever bought a new water pump, only to have it leak a week later? I'm so aggravated! I went to Napa last week and bought a brand new water pump, as to avoid buying crap from somewhere else and after spending the day changing it, the new one is leaking out of the weep hole. I've...
