    Got a new truck

    Just wanted to follow up, we got another valve body from John Woods, I guess the 96 has a different design than most other years. Once we got this installed the truck shifts great. John Woods shipped the replacement VB no extra charge and was very helpful.

    Got a new truck

    Well I found out we had a different year transmission in the truck than it's model year. John Woods is sending me a new accumulator body and we'll see how she shifts.

    Got a new truck

    So I ordered a valve body from John Wood Automotive and the slipping has not recurred. What has happened are very rough shifts. I have to say that John Wood has been outstanding. The amount of time he has spent helping me on a 300 dollar part is amazing. I can only imagine what kind of back...

    Got a new truck

    Thanks again for the knowledge, Sent an email to order the valve body. The slipping happened around 30mph once and around 50mph another time. Both times I was accelerating with quite a bit of pedal into it. Not floored, but going up a hill with a camper on and trying to move along. The...

    Got a new truck

    Well thank you for the responses, Yes those are the 19.5 wheels. Load range H tires very firm. Not quite sure about the driving characteristics yet. Been running them around 70 psi to soften them up slightly. Smoother ride than my '90 because fewer springs, but seem to wander a bit more...

    Got a new truck

    I just got a '96 psd. Still have the 90 idi, but went for something with some niceties for my family like head rests, a headliner, a/c ect. I have a couple of questions for you guys. First, the automatic transmission just shift weird compared to my manual idi. Slips every once in a...

    Cold start white smoke

    Well I finally figured it out. It was the cold timing advance on the IP. No power to either the throttle advance plunger or the cold timing advance (the spade closest to the cab). I connected a wire from the fuel shutoff spade (the one on the right side of the pump in front) to the cold...

    Cold start white smoke

    So got the injectors back, the shop said six were bad (only five years old new delphi's). Got a set of freshly rebuilt BBs from the same shop, installed them and she still puts out a grey/white plume and runs rough when cold starting. Starting was better than before, but white smoke continues...

    Cold start white smoke

    I pulled all the injectors yesterday and took them to a diesel injection service place to get tested. One injector (driver's side rear) had corrosion bellow the threads, I'm hoping I don't have a dead cylinder. I don't know how moisture would get down there any other way than block worm.

    Cold start white smoke

    I've got similar issue with heavy white smoke on start up, and rough chugging idle for the first minute or so. Smoke continues until the truck is fully warmed up. I recently put in a freshly rebuilt turbo and moved the GP controller. Injectors are about five years old but were all replaced...

    Stock turbo vs banks

    Is there a particular type of intercooler you like? I just picked up an ATS setup with a garret turbo with wastegate. I'd love to cool that air. -Tim

    Got a turbo kit, some questions and install thread

    I'm installing an ATS system I picked up on CL now and will move the gp controller. Wondering if anyone did any insulation between the turbo and the firewall? I think I'll need to move the clutch line so it doesn't get cooked.

    Ranger or GV overdrive?

    I don't want to spend the money on the gear vendors OD. I figure it would take about twenty years for it to pay for itself. I currently run around 2100 rpm at 60 and 2500 rpm at 70 in fifth gear. I believe I've got 4.10 differentials. I get around 12mpg towing. Not too much hill towing, and...

    Hard starts, smoke, a little help please

    I don't really know how old the starter is. It looks brand new. It is weird how well it is starting now with full tanks but it might just be a coincidence. It just leaps out of the gate when I hit the starter. An ammeter would be nice. I wonder if the ones they use to test our welders...
