    6.9 in a bus needs radiator. Upgrades?

    I’m running a champion aluminum radiator like many in the forums and I have no cooling problems anymore. I’m running a stock turbo from a ‘93 IDIT on my ‘86 with some intake mods and a 4” exhaust.

    Changing to a 4.10 rear axle from a newer model truck.

    Good evening IDI friends! Found a 4.10 geared rear end in my area, says it’s from a 2000 F250 would I be able to fit this up easily on my ‘86? I’ve worked on a lot of things but never swapped an axle the guys on dirt every day make it look easy… most I can think I would need would be a...

    Motorcraft ZD1A glow plugs

    SO did we determine that there is a bullet style Bosch? I have just burned out a set of BERU ZD9s after a couple months of use. Maybe 20 starts total.

    She eats glow plugs

    Hey OP... any resolution on this? My '86 IDI+T(ATS stock) seems to have just burned up a second set of GPS in 5 months. I also have a momentary switch that I do 10 seconds on for cold start. Only thing I can think of is bad injectors (I have new ones i'm about to install from Accurate Diesel)...

    Well... after a few adjustments using the proper timing setup I'm happy to report that I was able to get consistent repeatable 8.5 BTDC on the timing meter. I think I'll leave well enough alone for now... she still smokes a bit... compression was good and the timing is correct so I'm back to...

    Phew maybe that means I don’t have to open it up further but I do feel like an idiot for assuming I had the timing set up right after all the trouble I went through......... too soon old to late smart.

    If this is the wrong hole I’m an IDIot and please don’t hold back on scorn....... i see now there’s another port above it that actually makes more sense based on where the spring is on the probe. So if those are 20 degrees apart then I’m 16.5 BTDC.

    OK thanks guys. Now I'm curious if I was using the right timing sensor hole I didn't realize there were two of them. I actually owned this truck years ago and traded it to some farmer for an old tractor. He replaced the IP because he broke the VRV and couldn't find a replacement. I bought it...

    Name the cause of this smokeshow - 6.9IDI+T

    Ok....... well now what? I adjusted all the way to the end on the slot and the meter is reading around 1 BTDC idle and -3.5 (AFTER) TDC at 2000 rpm. Still a bouncy idle as you’d expect with slow timing. What’s the next step how do I get 12 more degrees when I’m at the end of the slots? I’m...

    So how would I know if the timing mark / damper is clocked wrong? I’m guessing I would need to find TDC on #1 and check the position of the timing notch on the damper? I’m at a loss here .......

    Name the cause of this smokeshow - 6.9IDI+T

    Ok so if this a dumb question feel free to admonish me with implications of ignorance, but how am I to gain 31 degrees of advance? By my calc at .050” per 2degrees that’s .755” as seen by the mark I just made with a scribe, pointing to it in the photo below with a wood skewer. I surely cannot...

    Yeah I read this in your other posts ... it’s sort of mind blowing that it would even run injecting fuel in the exhaust stroke
