FS Injection pump
Serious? I think the core is close to 4. I am willing to help out a fellow IDI owner if you are using it personally and have the need, but I was thinking it would be a steal at 200. Am I wrong?- Amy hubbard

FS Injection pump
Stanadyne db28 was working when pulled. Make me an offer. I was going to have it rebuilt and use it while I took the original off, but In the end... I just rebuilt the original and skipped the replacement.- Amy hubbard

Running hot and losing 1/2 gallon of oil per tank of fuel
I got a compression guage, however I do not have an adapter to thread it into my gp inlets. I am going to see about just building what I need. Shouldn't be too difficult....- Amy hubbard

Running hot and losing 1/2 gallon of oil per tank of fuel
Just a little update, the extreme heat was caused from my own vanity errors :( In the process of elimination I realized I have (had) a light bar mounted on the top of my custom bumper. So the bumper without vents + light bar + filthy radiators= 1 smokin hot truck. Literally! My guage (even if...- Amy hubbard

Running hot and losing 1/2 gallon of oil per tank of fuel
Is it possible that oil is getting past the internals on the turbo and basically blowing that oil out back into the air cleaner and out the exhaust? Regardless, setting timing first is worth the effort. I am doing the compression test tomorrow- i will report. Thanks for verbalizing the brutal...- Amy hubbard

Running hot and losing 1/2 gallon of oil per tank of fuel
@ gandalf. I have put the 385,000 miles on and so I suppose learning about my truck is on going, however finding the idi tech articles and oilburners.net a couple years ago has saved me a few broken knuckles, several tools, my sanity, my pocket change and probably my truck itself! This is the...- Amy hubbard

Running hot and losing 1/2 gallon of oil per tank of fuel
Yes . I took my DB2 IP to gomers for the rebuild. I have an extra ip that i called and inquired about them rebuilding so I wasnt down during the rebuild and they recommended that I bring in the original. So, I was down for reasonable week, my pockets were turned inside out and in the end, they...- Amy hubbard

And yes I did remove and clean with my cdr valve. It seemed to function properly. I was surprised at how clean it already was, but since I had it out, I soaked it, dried it up and installed it with plenty of gasget maker to reseal- Amy hubbard

Running hot and losing 1/2 gallon of oil per tank of fuel
Thank you big bart, i was definitely summarizing them all onto 1 problem. I will go ahead and make the appt for my timing and perhaps a compression test. I ACTUALLY fear it could be my rings!- Amy hubbard

A few other pertinent things: a have misty blow-by that will come out of my dipstick? My oil filler cap literally blew off( it sounded like a baseball hitting the truck while driving, i have not done a compression test, nor attempted to set the timing, but the truck idles nice and fires right up.- Amy hubbard
