    Truck going in shop for work

    aww George, it's all in clean fun. Stereotypes of the south are pervasive around these boards. Wasn't a personal jab.:angel:

    Truck going in shop for work

    You're the one who jumped in this thread spouting your expertise, and now it seems that you just have a problem with Swamps Diesel. No matter, to each his own views, just be sure that you know what you are talking about next time. (Yankees are such easy targets:shoot: ):rotflmao

    Truck going in shop for work

    This a quote from your first assumptions of what I had done to my truck: _______________________________________________________ "sorry but this has been buggin me a bit and i just cant leave it alone.sorry to be a buzz kill but i gotta speak my mind here. exhaust manifold gaskets?PSDs...

    Truck going in shop for work

    I ordered, and waited for this truck in 1995. Don't know if there were gaskets on it, or not. All I know is I had soot coming out the rear-most cylinders on both sides, and the up-pipe doughnut gaskets were shot also. Putting a straight edge on the exhaust manifolds showed an imperfection...

    Truck going in shop for work

    So if these engines don't use gaskets, where did they get the gaskets that are on my engine? I'll admit to being ignorant about a lot of things, but sealing against leaks is what I do for a living, and a gasket is a requirement, in most cases.

    Truck going in shop for work

    What exactly are YOU using between the exhaust manifold and the head for sealing purposes? My exhaust manifolds were leaking at the rear-most cylinders on both sides, soot blowing by. Up-pipe donut gaskets were shot also. I'll admit that the guys working on the truck are not that...

    Truck going in shop for work

    It seems that I have been accurate in my assumptions of how the engine was operating all these years without gauges. I can make the exhaust gas temperatures spike to 1300° pretty easy, and I have been backing out of it correctly, all this time. It was a booger for them to replace the...

    Truck going in shop for work

    Going to Thunderbeach in PC. Last place to be a redneck on a bike without Barney trying to take you out. Tranny holding up fine, chip is for firming up the shifting. My old chip performs well, except for the shifting. They tried to reflash old chip, but it is too old for all the new...

    Truck going in shop for work

    Truck is going into shop for some work. Did some wheeling and dealing with David and Johnathon at Swamps for some mechanic work and parts. I've been running without gauges of any kind, just running by the seat of my pants, so, exhaust temp, tranny temp, and boost gauges going in. I have...

    Injector O-rings

    Thought I would post on this board about my injector problem this week. The o-rings on my baby swamps gave out, and they were replaced by swamps diesel tuesday evening. Apparently the o-rings that have been used are of an inferior quality, by Bean, and Swamps. They both have changed...

    Fuel in the Oil,,..?

    I'd say simplistic things first. Bad o-rings on the injector/s. 128K on the motor is about the time to be replacing o-rings, not pumps.

    Shortcut on replacing fuel pump??

    The powerstroke engine was introduced mid-year '94, and it was badged turbo diesel. A friend of mine bought one of those new, and when I bought mine in late '95, we popped the hoods and compared engines. I was badged Powerstroke Diesel, and he was badged Turbo Diesel.

    Shortcut on replacing fuel pump??

    Looks like another successful pump replacement by someone who was worried about messing up their motor. Knowledge of what CAN happen is great, but scaring someone off from doing a simple job isn't helpful. As far as something rolling around in the pan, who in their right mind would be happy...

    Shortcut on replacing fuel pump??

    With a name like Haywood, you sound like a real knowledgeable character, especially being a new member. Your knowledge is in question, and I doubt that you are nothing but a troll. My experience, and reading have not come across anyone who has dropped one. I'm sure it has happened, and if...

    Shortcut on replacing fuel pump??

    Apparently someone has dropped the pushrod, but I have yet to read of someone who has. It didn't concern me when I did it, and I would just go for it if I was you.

    Shortcut on replacing fuel pump??

    Turning the banjo bolt is made easier by modifying a box end wrench for more turn between strokes. (I play with fire on a daily basis so it was of no concern to me to bend a little bit of metal) ;Sweet

    It's....ALIVE!

    Are there any holes in the dry-wall areas? Like maybe a few well placed ratchets or wrenches that happened to fly thru the air. :thumbsup: Congrats on the firing up. ;Sweet
