The diary of my journey to the darkside.........

Get some fuel, rpm, and timing to that 6.6, and you'll like driving it more.

It could use all those, as it is it is very tired and could use a good once over. Loaded with 34,000 pounds you spend some time in each gear. However empty it is a lot of fun to tool around in and can get up and go...not like I would ever rev it up at stop lights when a big lifted (but still lower than where i sit) ***-a-part pulls up beside me. They don't know what to do when they look over and see me beside them. Also just throwing this out there...that truck may have held off a cummins....through second gear

If you were closer I'd do it for you. I do have videos on how to do it on youtube.

The timing is only slightly different on yours, but the same technique is used. The timing pointer is nearly the same looking.

I just had a brain fart, ours is a 7.8L brizalian. Sorry.

Same deal as the 6.6

 

[Clydesdale]

For timing.. or same block and all?

 

[nevrenufhp]

Same technique for all 3, not the same block. The 7.8 is a bit taller.

 

[Clydesdale]

2 questions, one needed ASAP.

Belt order V belt 6.9?

second, and we have some time on this, factory Y into 3" that progressively gets larger...

Or dual 2.5" right off the manifold?

 

[redneckaggie]

not sure on the belt order if its the same as my 7.3 then it is alternator, power steering, ac starting from closest to the engine.

the exhaust i would say 3 in single just because it is more simple to run and if you ever go turbo you wont have to worry about splitting the dp into the duals. at least that is the reason mine is single.

 

[Clydesdale]

Got her figured. The problem was I had 10 belts, most of which were new, and out fo wrapper. So... had to find right length, etc.

 

[88beast]

ya id say single three
or single three to a dual setup
i got a single three on mine sounds good
but the dual would be cool but making it turbo is hard then

 

[Clydesdale]

Clips on, core/radiator are in, taurus 3.8 fan WILL work... if I run a jumper wire, it cranks.

gotta get me the kit to mount the fan through the radiator tomorrow..... and the vacuum hose off the brake booster to attach to vac pump.

Looks like a rig again, pretty happy bout that, and its closer.

 

[Clydesdale]

This 6.9 hasn't run since May, there may be residual fuel in the IP and lines, but dubious. The tank is bone dry, the lines are brand new..

What is the OilBurners recommended way to get fuel up and have it fire?

 

[Dieselcrawler]

have stock lift pump? fill fuel filter and just crank/cool down starter, crank/cool down starter till fuel is present, bleed at fuel filter first, then the injectors.

 

[redneckaggie]

if you have a mechanical pump just crank in 30 sec intervals with 1-2 min cooldown other than that what has been said.

 

[Clydesdale]

IP Power is the terminal closest to the oil fill, right? If so, what is the rear terminal?

 

[redneckaggie]

i thought key on was in the middle timing advance was on the side with the lever and the throttle advance was right by the throttle. Is there a fourth post?
