    -40 winters and starting

    I live in Northern Ontario so we see similar temperatures with lots of days well below -30. I've never switched from 15w40 oil even in winter (although I'm sure it would help). Just good glow plugs, batteries, block heater and a decent starter and even with me leaving it sit for months it will...

    Tachometer issue 94

    Unless you recently changed it I would be looking at the tach sensor before the cluster.

    What gauges would you install?

    If you actually drive the truck I would suggest a Pyro before any other gauge.

    Body mount bolts

    When I did mine I just went to a local industrial machine shop with the old hardware and got new ones in grade 8.

    7.3 idi with turbo runs rough above 1000rpms

    Definitely agree how was timing done but also where did the injection pump and injectors come from?

    Electronic fuel pump conversion

    @BeastMaster I agree the electrical connections are a pretty poor setup but you can fix it so they stay on much better. And as far as I was aware the carter's don't have fuel pressure drop issues like people see with the facet pumps. If you have a motor setup with injection pump and turbo way...

    Extending coolant change interval (switching coolants)

    @Slicknik where did you ever see that extended life coolants will cause cativation or ruin a motor? Most elc's are rated for bigger trucks and if you stay away from the ones with orangic acids etc that are harsh they are fine for our trucks? There are many guys running elc in our trucks. Also...

    Yet another E40D Thread

    I'd be checking the tach sensor before anything. Pretty cheap part that fixes alot of e4od issues and if you have no rpm reading under 1000 I'd bet money that is part of the problem

    Bull Moose Injection Pump

    Just a thought but when you say R&D doesn't have a 90cc pump is that because his site says out of stock or did you talk to him? As far as I know all his pumps are only being made to order so the site will always show out of stock you have to call him to purchase a pump

    Rough start when cold?

    The one finger definitely is in the picture was trying not the block the meters screen and not paying attention, but even redoing it without touching either lead still get the 0.7 reading.

    Rough start when cold?

    @austin92 I'd be going back and checking those gps again. Someone can correct me but I'm 99% sure they should be under 1ohm and if they're reading 5+ they aren't heating up. Picture is of my old ones and they're still all reading 0.7-1.1. Anything I've seen and from personal experience new...

    Rough start when cold?

    @austin92 for the ohms of your gps did you mean 0.3-0.6 instead of 5.3-5.6? My 4 year old beru's I replaced didnt even have 5ohms. I second looking at your lift pump if it's not new and really going through your fuel lines/connections because you can have air getting in without visible fuel...

    Push Button GP Setup

    http://www.dieselhub.com/maintenance/idi-manual-glow-plug-switch.html Use the picture in that link as a reference but you can easily have it wired so the WTS light comes on when you hit your manual push button if you want. Like others have said though not really needed
