    Hypermax turbo question

    It's on par with the early non wastegated Banks and 085 and 088 ATS non wastegated systems. The turbo compressor H-3 wheel is the same on all the nongated kits. Not sure on ATS turbine, but my old Banks kit is a P trim with .96 a/r. Hypermax turbine is P trim with 1.15 a/r, so it spools slower...

    GEAR VENDORS TROUBLESHOOING HELP NEEDED

    You said you had voltage to the switch on shifter. How about through the switch, continuity? I might be splitting hairs here with your wording, sorry.

    GEAR VENDORS TROUBLESHOOING HELP NEEDED

    Have you checked the speed sensor and its wiring? Didn't see that mentioned yet. And, no I don't really know how to test the sensor itself, maybe spin it with a drill and hook up to multimeter. If I recall correctly the sensor connections at the control box are similar to a phone plug...

    CDD DB4 Pump Build

    Wes, Thanks for the offer to test my pump, I actually have an old Bacharach test stand that's on my to do list. I've never seen a .450 plunger pump, but the rotor must be different to handle the size. I did see one for sale on E-bay for $2000+ a while back. The plunger bore in our pumps is...

    CDD DB4 Pump Build

    Hey Wes I like what your doing, keep it up. I only read stuff on here now and then, but I had some pump models you might find useful for tuning the DB4. You may have this info already. I see you've been in the Stanadyne dealer portal, where I found this info. I got these specs some years ago...

    Did I?

    That piston looks fine cleaned up. Use new rings. Clean off all the carbon. Check the pistons for cracks around the ricardo cup, recess. Clean out the ring grooves real well, check for any abnormal wear in the grooves, ring clearance in the groove. Check for clean smooth pin bore and free pin...

    Cat3126 or DT466

    I own a Freightliner C7 250hp 6spd. manual with 230kmi. It has performed great so far. When I purchased it, it was a toss up between that and IH. I've driven older mechanical DT466 trucks before most were lower power ratings. The DT is a good engine with a long history, just getting choked by...

    92 f250 TTB Front ads a leaf

    It will work, but the ride is rougher. I pulled mine out in less than a year. I also used the add a leaf with a reverse shackle kit to smooth out the ride, didn't help much. I ended buying new springs because it couldn't hold the alignment. On the TTB every bump you hit messes with the alignment...

    IDI piston height

    You could try head saver shims from SBI or Felpro. They are about .010" metal shim cut like head gasket. I have never used them, though. It's an option. The shim goes under the gasket.

    Absolutly gutless need opinions

    When I bought my '92, 12 years ago, it had similar compression issues I found when doing a thorough check. It seemed to run fine except the piping for the turbo was all rotted out. After I tore the engine apart I found the top rings to have metal flaking off the face. I'm not sure if it was a...
