    Oh...that smell...

    I've already reamed the tube with a 5/16" bit. Banks states that 1150-1200* at the exhaust port is 1050* at the turbo pedestal thermocouple location, but I was only ever able to touch on 850* once, and just barely. Even at higher elevation after rough bumping the timing, I could barely touch on...

    Oh...that smell...

    I can't get the my mag probe into the tube on my timing marks (tech-time), but after checking the correct thread regarding these prices, I'll be taking the spring clip off when I try next. I had the crew cab set at about 9.5*, but EGT's would climb pretty fast, so I don't know how the fueling...

    Oh...that smell...

    For those that know what hot cast iron smells like, and also have a wastegated Banks Sidewinder... Have you ever smelled that super hot cast iron smell while on long trips? This is now the second time Thumper has made the 400+ mile run over the mountains to the in-laws, and it's the second time...

    Intake manifold bolt won't thread back in

    Yes, I'm removing an old thread, because this seems to be the only other instance of this in the great wide web... I'm in the same boat. Pulled this same bolt (#5 intake, closest to #7) to do glow plugs a month or so ago and got it back in with a crowbar and some pressure on the Banks...

    Tapping the FSS Wire

    Thank you both. I looked over some more schematics last night and there are actually multiple red/lt green wires on the IDI equipped trucks, only just the one for the charging circuit on the gassers.

    Tapping the FSS Wire

    I noticed that. I was not able to get my filter head heater to seal on this truck for some reason (never had issues with the crew cab), but it's like to find one at the rear of the engine (#7 cylinder area). Whenever I install an electric lift pump, I also install a 3-pole oil pressure switch to...

    Tapping the FSS Wire

    Thanks Trike! Isn't the red/green stripe the alternator trigger? I've converted to a 3G alternator (actually swapped/robbed my conversation from the crew cab). I thought all the FSS wires are solid red 10 gauge? It's been a long time since I dug the one on the crew cab out to tap it, but it's...

    Tapping the FSS Wire

    Somehow, every form of search had failed me, so here I am again, trying to find a good spot on the FSS wire to tap into for my fuel pump relay (electric lift pump install on Thumper). Instead of cutting the terminal off on the IP side and crimping on a new one with yet another wire jammed in it...

    New Clutch Doesn't Work *NEW ISSUE*

    Some is, yes. I was just alarmed at how loud this one is. I'm going to attribute it to the transition internals just being in so much better shape than the ZF5 in the crew cab. Both trucks are running N/A 7.3L blocks, but this one has a wastegated sidewinder on it. Even with it's sticky...

    New Clutch Doesn't Work *NEW ISSUE*

    My crew cab has much more fork wobble/vibration than this one, and that was with a brand new fork. I thought gear rollover could be in neutral too? There are still gears meshing in neutral. I actually get less grown if lugging this truck than the crew cab, but I've attributed that to this truck...

    New Clutch Doesn't Work *NEW ISSUE*

    That's so strange. At idle, you can hear it louder than anything from a distance away from the truck, but the crew cab with the same clutch kit is quiet. Perhaps the jars in this one aren't as worn? Both transmissions were rebuilt before I bought the trucks, but the ZF5 in the crew cab has never...

    New Clutch Doesn't Work *NEW ISSUE*

    I made sure that thing was tight when I was under there. The crew cab never had one. That cover can rattle when speed but not when moving? It's worth a shot I guess.

    New Clutch Doesn't Work *NEW ISSUE*

    Noticed something since I've been driving it and it really has me scratching my head. When coasting I'm neutral, the clutch doesn't rattle at all, until I get under about 15 mph. It's at its loudest when I'm stopped. So loud in fact, that I can hear it over the engine and exhaust when I'm...

    Rear Slider Replacement?

    Still attending to some things on the new truck (Thumper in signature) and one of them is replacing the thin plexi Sunshine rear window patch with glass. The big question... Can I replace just the one slider without removing the whole rear window assembly? The plexi was done well enough that...

    New Clutch Doesn't Work *NEW ISSUE*

    Possibly new TOB on worn clutch fork? I noticed the fork bouncing in time with the rattling today.

    New Clutch Doesn't Work *NEW ISSUE*

    Do you mean by lugging it? There's no noise as long as the clutch pedal is depressed (disengaged), regardless of gear selection.

    New Clutch Doesn't Work *NEW ISSUE*

    Bumping for the AM crowd. Hoping this is just the first time in experiencing this rattling until it wears in. It wasn't doing it when I left for work this morning, but it was by the time I got to work, so only when it's warm, and only at idle. With the Banks muffler on it, it's almost...

    New Clutch Doesn't Work *NEW ISSUE*

    I'm hoping someone has some insight into that. With any luck, it's just the slight wear in the clutch fork (old TOB was squeaking pretty bad). Transmission does have a full gallon of Maxlife ATF in it to help with great rollover noise.

    New Clutch Doesn't Work *NEW ISSUE*

    New slave cylinder in, 3G swapped from the crew cab, clutch now works and truck now charges. Some of my awful sounds are even gone, but I have one new, very awful one. A terrible clutch rattling when it's engaged, at least at idle. Planning on getting a new clutch fork but could that really...

    New Clutch Doesn't Work *NEW ISSUE*

    Looks like removing from the transmission allowed the slave to die. It has bled off again overnight. Luckily, new slave cylinders aren't real expensive.

    Sticky Throttle Shaft?

    Aside from my new, no charge issue after replacing the clutch (turns out the alternator died at that exact time), I've noticed that this new to me IP has a sticky throttle. Like, there's more resistance to turn the throttle shaft on the IP than the one in the crew cab. There's currently no...

    New Clutch Doesn't Work *NEW ISSUE*

    I ended up finding the bleeder and that did end up being the problem. Unfortunately, new clutch hydraulics aren't in my future at three moment, but I am thinking about pulling the master and slave from the crew cab and swapping them (so I can still move the crew cab around). Now I have to...

    New Clutch Doesn't Work *NEW ISSUE*

    I swapped the clutch in Thumper from an older SMF kit to a new SMF kit (flywheel and all). This is about the 4th or 5th time I've done a SMF clutch on an IDI (first time with a turbo though), but this is the first time that the pedal has no resistance afterwords. And it's my only vehicle at the...

    Fuel Level Sender Pegged

    I must have at least one bad and one intermittent connection. With any luck, they aren't between the pump hanger and sender!

    Fuel Level Sender Pegged

    This is odd, but I've just dropped below 3/8 of a tank in the rear and filled it back up, now the gauge is pegged all the way for the rear tank too? Does not having a connection send the gauge to max?
