You're not missing much lol. I only have broadcast channels as well and download stuff that I want to watch.
I'll post an update later tonight on the truck situation.

Pics under the chassis. Living in Michigan all my life, this is hands down the cleanest vehicle I've ever owned.

I think I'm closer to bleeding the lines, but the batteries are so ****** and can't mess with getting new batteries for it til after closing on house this weekend..

looks good. i put an electric lift pump on mine too after it went out on me during the truck pulls.... but i also frame mounted my fuel filter and kept the fuel line on the driver side of the motor right into the back of the IP.

 

[Lykkan]

Nice. Any reason you mounted it on frame and kept line on drivers side?

 

[FastestIdIinthe707]

just so i didnt have to cross over under the motor. also with my filter on my frame i have alot more room up top so i could make a custom intake. im gonna clean up the hoses going over and under my intake just haven't had time.

Makes sense and looks good!

 

[FastestIdIinthe707]

thanks man! works good and its a lot cleaner then running fuel line up to the factory filter housing.

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 fuel pump.
I have the timing advanced slighty from the visible mark on the gear cover. I haven't warmed the engine up yet but when cold it has a clack to it (like a power stroke) and when I get on it, it blows black smoke and sounds like it's backfiring?
Going to retard the timing a bit and see how it sounds. I know it's not really possible to time it well when it's cold, but she starts instantly everytime.
Here's a video of it running:

Any tips on where I should set the timing? I don't have any timing equipment. Thanks

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 I've only found outdated information on this.

SEARCH even use ADVANCED search...there are 100's of timing threads with TONS of info
