    Awesome. Thanks guys. I'll just purchase one. After brake booster I'll have to order a compressor as the one on there is about to blow. Joys of a vehicle that sat for a long time

    Knowing me I'll probably tear into the engine a couple of times so it'll pay for itself eventually is it generally that cheap to pay a shop to do it?

    Thanks for the information. I ordered a brake booster today so I'll have to order that timing tool next week. Price is very affordable compared to what I had been seeing

    More information please... what you said is quite vague. Do you have part numbers, a link to a page with more info? I've only found outdated information on this.

    Is there a working tool that can be bought? I only know of the snapon one that is discontinued.

    Hi everyone. It's been forever, but owning a house has finally calmed down. Picked up a 98 mustang GT in the meantime and sort of modded that out quite a bit... Anyways, finally got the diesel started. As mentioned previously, replaced all of the injection system and upgraded to electric...

    Any style of muffler to stay away from?

    Just thought I'd mention, I always use 25' sheets of "peel n seal" or the equivalent from home Depotor lowes. It'sabout 6" wide and iit's aluminum backed tar. Works great as a substitute for "dynomat"

    Mounted electric fuel pump on the fuel rail. Cut the original metal line and flared both ends Pre filter Cutting the lift-pump to seperator lines and hooking the rubber line to it. I think I'm closer to bleeding the lines, but the batteries are so shitty and can't mess with...

    Only spot of real rust on roof Pics under the chassis. Living in Michigan all my life, this is hands down the cleanest vehicle I've ever owned.

    As the lift pump has been replaced, I'm going to assume itstill it's the injection pump. Doesn't matter though, I have a new electric pump, IP, and injectors + injector return lines. Want to check the diesel that's been sitting for 2 years before pumping that through new items. Think the...

    I say use 2 large straight-through resonators. Will remove the obnoxious resonant frequencies and "sloppy" tones but will quiet it down and give it a good note. Cherry bombs/ glass-paks are resonators, not mufflers, and they're usually installed under-rated for the application (and sound like...

    Yeah, think I'm close to being able to finish priming the fuel. Has required charging the batteries multiple times. They're obviously junk after sitting. I'm going to need to replace the ends of the wiring to the glow plugs as they're cracking from the heat/age. girlfriend wanted to watch game...

    tranny problem???

    Ahh sorry didn't see that. Under acceleration does the clutch seem to slip then? Or only going downhill?

    tranny problem???

    When your TC is locked up and you let go of the gas enough where the engine isn't under load your TC should disengage to not slow you down. TC is to help improve gas mileage by not allowing the engine to run a different speed than the ttransmission. If it didn't disengage the engine would slow...

    Yeah the plastic trim is already back on there. My s.o. Was towing me with a f450 work truck and she took a corner pretty fast, bent the front bumper as that's what we were using to tow it. Going to try bending bumper back. Would like to eventually go with a HD bumper though
