    HELP! Need more miles, not more power.

    Well, I've never had an alignment done, and it's probably not had one for many years. I might take it to a shop for that this week (planning on doing an alignment and installing a headgasket on a Toyota Paseo on Friday). I should probably take a closer look at the brakes. Sure, I did the...

    HELP! Need more miles, not more power.

    Oh, it starts up lickity-split. I live in FL, and it's Springtime, it starts on perhaps the second or third cylinder; much faster than my Marauder did. When I first got it, in AR, I had to use the glowplugs, which were burnt out. I replaced three of them, and no problems after that, but here in...

    HELP! Need more miles, not more power.

    I sent Conestoga an email, and they never responded, so I bought from Pensacola, because they're in my state and they were slightly cheaper (before sales tax, which I forgot to factor in, D'OH!). Also, the returned my email, which is a requirement in my book.

    HELP! Need more miles, not more power.

    Also, my Dynamic Timing Meter doesn't work. I can't time this thing except by marks and by sound.

    HELP! Need more miles, not more power.

    All of you who say #12 are basically saying that my brand new, name brand injectors are costing me 10 MPGs. That actually makes sense to you? These are NOT refurbs.

    HELP! Need more miles, not more power.

    Is there any way to find 9.5 degrees BTDC without a functioning Dynamic Timing Meter?

    HELP! Need more miles, not more power.

    Well, thank you all for the responses, and Happy Easter! I Suppose I should answer some of the questions asked of me here. 1)IP: The Injection Pump is a reman from Stanadyne, and has a Stanadyne badge which is marked "Remanufactured". 2)Mileage: I know the truck has 120k, and not 220k...

    HELP! Need more miles, not more power.

    What on Earth could possibly be so out of tune as to cause results like that? Like I said, I'm fairly certain that the fuel injection pump is mounted properly, and the injectors are brand new. Could it be the differential fluids need to be changed? I already flushed and changed the transmission...

    HELP! Need more miles, not more power.

    Hey gents. I drive like an old lady. I got a 87 F-250 6.9 idi, brand new Delphi injectors, a rebuilt injection pump (of unknown age; was on there when I got the truck about 5k miles ago. Truck has just shy of 120k), a C6 auto, and 3.55 gears. I'm getting 10 MPGs. HO-LEE-HECK. Diesel is $4.20 a...

    Need Pictures of Your Wires to fix my 87 6.9 IDI

    That would be great, Farmer Frank! Just make sure you take lots of pictures! I'll probably have to rewire the whole damn truck by the looks of it.

    All that's left is a cached copy with no pictures.

    Need Pictures of Your Wires to fix my 87 6.9 IDI

    Okay, just to see what would happen, I pulled apart what I thought was a fuse link on the negative cable. The starter made a clicking sound and it sparked as it moved. The exposed copper on the wire appears to be dark, like burnt. As soon as I unplugged it, the starter started running in about...

    Holy crap, that might be my missing ground, Voyager. My terminal doesn't look anything like that. I'm sure that some yokel pulled that wire when he replaced the terminal connector. I'm gonna look for one of those, stat! Thanks for the effort, Quickster, but only one photo loaded!

    Yeah, that light is missing, which is kinda annoying, since I work at night, and am awake on the weekends at night, and I have no light on the truck.

    Need Pictures of Your Wires to fix my 87 6.9 IDI

    That's been my plan, typ4. I've done good so far, at least until this week, because it still ran, and everything worked (except the rear tank). Alot of these things don't have mates. They're not tucked in or hidden, they're gone. Here's more pics to show the problem I face. There's no place for...

    Need Pictures of Your Wires to fix my 87 6.9 IDI

    Howdy all. I bought my 87 F-250 (6.9, C6, 4x2) in AR and drove it back to FL. Ever since I've had it (about a year now) it's had numerous electrical gremlins. Tachometer wouldn't tac, dash lights kept blowing fuse, turn signals not working, 4-ways, radio FM modulator fried, won't start...
