    Water crossings-How deep is too deep ?

    With the horror going on in Texas and the fact we live on the edge of a flood zone down here I started thinking about how deep of water could I safely get through. This is considering that all diff, trans and transfer case vents have been routed higher and a certain amount of waterproofing to...

    Your educated opinions please

    A quick back story... I pulled the motor in preparation for the typ 4 cam, head studs and gaskets, 910 valve springs, Bull Moose and take care of some annoying oil leaks. The motor itself is in great condition, didn't burn any oil, still see the cross hatches in the cylinder bores but, this...

    For those of us using the Ferret timing adapt.

    I was looking to get a better understanding of the advance/retard on the db2 inj. pump and came across this on the 6.2/6.5 forums.

    Is this normal ?

    Truck starts right off when cold [abt. 3 sec. on the manual glow plugs] but, when I shut it off hot then try to restart after just 3-5 min. it won't start within 1 or 2 revolutions---hit the glow plugs for a second and it starts on 1st. rev.. Should I have to use the glow plugs so soon after a...

    erratic timing

    I checked my timing the other day using the pulse adapter and an advance timing lite. While I was hooking everything up I had the engine running abt. 1000 rpm for warmup. When I "shot" the lite at the timing marks the advance was all over the place---brought the engine up to 1400 and the marks...
