I know this is ot a little when tractor pulling goes bad
The pulling tractors MUST have cables going from one side of the block over the head to the other side. Just for that reason. When the block litterally lets go...things get ugly! A good friend of mine works on a couple of pulling tractors. He has seen that first hand. The reason they use...- DieselDood78

Intercooler Cracked!

When we reinstalled the intercooler, we re-pressurized the system before we started it to make sure all the boots and clamps were good. Everything held pressure, so now we are looking at fuel delivery. We have 28psi of fuel...- DieselDood78

Intercooler Cracked!
Well, We Epoxy'ed the intercooler with a JB Weld like material, and it held 40PSI with our nifty home made testing tools. We reassembled it, but still have low boost and low power. We only gained 5psi from before. Any Ideas? We have checked the AFC, good, holds pressure and moves properly...- DieselDood78
