Self Timing IP After Long Trip?
That's was my plan LOL But the driver's side of the can was resting on the frame and it was going to cost $3K to repair, so I picked up Thumper for $4K :cool:- crash-harris

Self Timing IP After Long Trip?
I have a fuel pressure gauge in the Enterprise, but haven't been able to get around to swapping it over yet either, and it's been a number of years. I think gauges are getting bumped up the priority list though. Water across the old IP is how I diagnosed the hot start issue with that one. Both...- crash-harris

Self Timing IP After Long Trip?
I've been contemplating that and will probably do so when time allows (hard to come by with produce harvest and festival season approaching). The problem is, I'm fairly certain the other pump I have has a hot start issue, and I have no other pumps and need to replace the roof on the house before...- crash-harris

Self Timing IP After Long Trip?
Tried to get a short video showing the amount of throttle shaft rotate in this "dead spot", but of course the servers still can't handle processing a 30 second clip :rolleyes: I thought that maybe the allen screw at the end of the timing arm had backed out or something. It just seems like the IP...- crash-harris

Self Timing IP After Long Trip?
I was referring to the advance plunger on the IP itself (that actually retards timing as fuel/throttle is increased). I have no idea how old the injection pump is. It came off the Enterprise and looked like it was pulled off a van before that, but the nicer looking rebuilt IP that was on Thumper...- crash-harris

Self Timing IP After Long Trip?
This is a new one for me! Edit: I don't see my signature showing up, so I'll put it here. Truck is 1989 F350 7.3L IDI with wastegated Banks Sidewinder. Backstory; Made a 400+ miles trip from OH to NC with Thumper. Fresh oil/filter change and new fuel filter the week before leaving. Fuel...- crash-harris

Oh...that smell...
I've already reamed the tube with a 5/16" bit. Banks states that 1150-1200* at the exhaust port is 1050* at the turbo pedestal thermocouple location, but I was only ever able to touch on 850* once, and just barely. Even at higher elevation after rough bumping the timing, I could barely touch on...- crash-harris

Oh...that smell...
I can't get the my mag probe into the tube on my timing marks (tech-time), but after checking the correct thread regarding these prices, I'll be taking the spring clip off when I try next. I had the crew cab set at about 9.5*, but EGT's would climb pretty fast, so I don't know how the fueling...- crash-harris

Oh...that smell...
For those that know what hot cast iron smells like, and also have a wastegated Banks Sidewinder... Have you ever smelled that super hot cast iron smell while on long trips? This is now the second time Thumper has made the 400+ mile run over the mountains to the in-laws, and it's the second time...- crash-harris

Intake manifold bolt won't thread back in
Yes, I'm removing an old thread, because this seems to be the only other instance of this in the great wide web... I'm in the same boat. Pulled this same bolt (#5 intake, closest to #7) to do glow plugs a month or so ago and got it back in with a crowbar and some pressure on the Banks...- crash-harris

Tapping the FSS Wire
Thank you both. I looked over some more schematics last night and there are actually multiple red/lt green wires on the IDI equipped trucks, only just the one for the charging circuit on the gassers.- crash-harris

Tapping the FSS Wire
I noticed that. I was not able to get my filter head heater to seal on this truck for some reason (never had issues with the crew cab), but it's like to find one at the rear of the engine (#7 cylinder area). Whenever I install an electric lift pump, I also install a 3-pole oil pressure switch to...- crash-harris

Tapping the FSS Wire
Thanks Trike! Isn't the red/green stripe the alternator trigger? I've converted to a 3G alternator (actually swapped/robbed my conversation from the crew cab). I thought all the FSS wires are solid red 10 gauge? It's been a long time since I dug the one on the crew cab out to tap it, but it's...- crash-harris

Tapping the FSS Wire
Somehow, every form of search had failed me, so here I am again, trying to find a good spot on the FSS wire to tap into for my fuel pump relay (electric lift pump install on Thumper). Instead of cutting the terminal off on the IP side and crimping on a new one with yet another wire jammed in it...- crash-harris
