    Doing oil cooler. Is this trick legit?

    I recently did mine - the wood working clamp made reassembly a breeze. I did the removal of the PS pump and wiggled it out by the transmission. I took the wheel off and tried accessing the bolts through the wheel well - it was easier just doing it blind from the top. I too did Russ repair kit -...

    Injector stuck in head

    Pretty sure moose diesel sells a tool to remove the stuck injector for $50 or so.

    ATS 088 9 blade

    Check CDDs website - I thought I saw that they had an upgraded compressor for the 088 - might be worth looking into.

    Clutch Pedal Sticking

    I recently rebuilt my steering column - had good success with prosteeringcolumns.com kit for my truck. It was pretty straight forward to rebuild - might be worth a look to see what they have for your truck.

    Cooling system upgrade time

    I put a brass ball valve on my radiator - had the same concerns so I keep a plug in the end of it as well.

    high idle plunger

    CDD and Russ Repair occasionally have used ones - not sure where you could get a new one - I tried a few universal ones before I knew about oilburners and the reputable vendors for our trucks with no success.

    CDD uppipe fitment issues

    When I installed my turbo, I bought a IDIOT up pipe - the CDD units weren't available back then so my kit came with the ATS cast units. However, I think the installation method i used may work for you as well. I installed the turbo flange bolts loose with the turbo loose. I think installed the...

    Failing Injection pump?

    It seems interesting that you say each time it works the WTS light comes on. Makes me think it’s GP related. How confident are you the GP system is working correctly? Might be a cheaper / easier place to start troubleshooting and confirm that’s working correctly before looking at the pump.

    Oil Cooler Rebuild

    For clarity at this point I don’t have any contamination between oil and coolant currently. I have oil leaking out of the filter header to the ground. Is there a reason to flush coolant that I’m missing (like they will inevitably mix when attempting to remove the cooler) or is that step only...

    Oil Cooler Rebuild

    Hey guys Been reading up on oil cooler rebuilds - mine recently developed a leak (leaking oil to the ground on the rear end cap - suspected failed o ring). With my tools and space I am not prepared to pull the engine. I found the diesel hub had a decent write up on removal and rebuild by...

    Need another port to feed Banks turbo besides the sending unit and bell housing near filter.

    If you get real desperate I think you can buy an oil filter adapter that threads onto the oil filter port (oil filter then threads into adapter) and the adapter gives you a port on the supply and discharge side of the filter. Seen these for gas applications, I am assuming they exist for our...

    Glow plug controller questions.

    Not trying to add to your challenges but I had an issue a year or two back where I had partially failed fusible links - allowed voltage through (verified by multimeter) but during operations it wouldn’t allow full current flow. The controller did the same thing - clicking. I checked and changed...

    86 6.9 IDI C6 4x4 - VRV Nipple Snapped on Injection Pump

    I replaced my accelerator cable - wasn’t hard but it did seem to be just a little bit longer. Ended up using a piece of crushed copper tubing at the pedal to take up the extra slack in the cable. Worked great since - I just bought one at autozone I think.

    7.3 idi with banks sidewinder leaking oil from intake hat

    I think that’s how it’s supposed to be, I think it only were to close in a “run away” type of situation, with a lot of vacuum on the flat side.
