Check the track bar bushings of it is a D60. Mine would shake terrible and I thought it was leaf spring bushings but my upper track bar bushings was completely gone
I forgot to mention that my throw out bearing was chirping like it wouldn't release completely from the fingers when I first got the truck on the road but now it seems that the noise from that is gone now.
So I did some testing on the drive home tonight. I don't have a tach but by the...
Been a while since I posted here guys. I started following the Facebook page more and the forum less but still think this is the best place to get an answer to the question you ask and not storries about their cousin's friend's brother's ex-girlfriend's grandpa's truck.
I have a factory turbo...
If it has been rebuilt why I want to send it off to get rebuilt again? I know that making sure it has been rebuilt is best but, I don't have the extra money to spend on it unless I have to. Also from what I have researched it is the 093 turbo.
Also is the up pipe form the drivers side manifold different from a C6 truck to a ZF5 truck? My up pipe is dented and needs replaced so I do I copy the one I have or route something new?
So I have a factory turbo engine with the turbo removed. From what I can tell the engine has been repainted, possibly rebuilt. I have no idea on the mileage or if it was anything more than an aerosol overhaul as it was already been swapped once into a truck when I got the truck. I am going to...
So I am finally back to working on this project again. I got sucked in by tractor pulling last summer and that ate a lot of time.
As it sits right now I have the cab bolted down and the bed just set on the frame. I have to repaint the tailgate and two doors. I noticed low spots in the metal...
I have an offy dual plane that has some red over spray on it. I think I only mocked it up on an engine before deciding I needed a C-series.
I may have a soft spot for these gas work horses.
I kicked around wrapping things but Michigan loves to pour the salt to the roads in the winter and I see the wrap holding salt water to steel and rusting everything out.
So I am considering having my factory turbo ceramic coated on the hot side as well as the up pipes, down pipe, and manifolds. Should I have it coated inside and out, or just outside. I have heard that coating just the outside will cause the material to fatigue and eventually crack due to not...
I can't say I blame them. This is their site to manage how they please. I just figured this could be a useful tool to help members make an informed decision. The feedback is left by members so the site host isn't posting the reviews. The site I am on that uses this system reminds me of eBay...
The 8-8.3 was the setting for LSD now with ULSD 9.0-9.5 seems to be the accepted numbers. I am going to run this for a few months and see how things go. I have several marks so I can change timing with out a meter.
Pretty close to kerosene.
This is a pretty good explanation of the fuel grades. http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/truck-talk/22703-deisel-fuel-grades.html
Well I set my timing to 11.1 BTDC using the pulse method. I have been running this for 3500-4000 miles under numerous load conditions. This seems to be where smoke at idle and start up is least to non-existent and EGT's seem happiest. I have the probe between #6 & 8 and see temps of 475-525...
I run a WMO 50%/ D2 47%/ RUG 3% mix year round. The truck has started on glow plugs and a block heater in -20*f. I think the diesel started to gell that morning because I had power surges about 10 miles from work and some diesel 911 cleaned that act up . The RUG is added to my barrel before I...
