    I noticed that but thought it might just be shadowing.

    Factory floor shifter for automatic???

    I'll have to do some more investigating. I'm thinking about picking it up but I'm curious if there's something funny going on or if it's factory.

    Thanks! I pulled the front tank sender the other day. The shower head was still attached..barely. It broke off as I pulled it out. It broke down in to a black goo. I replaced it with some hose and ran new fuel lines from the front tank , bypassing the fsv. It appears to have fixed the air...

    Getting closer .. Hopefully lol. I replaced the leaking return o-rings... But I apparently bumped the one next to it because it started leaking lol. So I replaced those too , she's all dry now . I decided to just use a cheap gasser timing light with my meter instead of fixing the probe hole...

    I'm back in the IDI game!

    Ya it's seated , I probably twisted an o-ring while rolling them on. Yep it works just fine . But the leak and smoking doesn't happen when the truck kicks down , it only happens when it gets some heat in it under a load. I was thinking it might be really retarded which is why I tried to time it...

    Well a lot has happened since my last post. The truck is back together and running. It fires up instantly and has zero smoke when cold. Once it gets warmed up and under a load it POURS grey/white smoke and idles a little rough. At the same time it starts leaking out of a return cap. It doesn't...

    Valley pan

    Definitely replace the valley pan gasket. It is a crush gasket. It's not worth the gamble , especially if you plan on running a turbo.

    gonna try my hand at return line repair

    @typ4 's kit comes with lube. It is by far the best lube I have ever used on these. The caps slipped on beautifully!

    I'm back in the IDI game!

    It was a beautiful day today so I finally got some more work done. The engine is just about buttoned up. I dropped the new rad in and realized it has the bottom ports plugged. Originally there was a T in the coolant lines that ran to the bottom passenger side of the rad. I'm sure I can just...

    Trust machine shop and buy new heads or hold out for a second opinion??

    The machine shop I use takes me in the back and re-mags my heads if they are cracked so they can show me exactly where they cracked..

    I'm back in the IDI game!

    I test fired it the other day. I only plugged in the bare minimum to hear it run. Zero exhaust , didn't bleed fuel lines , no turbo , original return lines which leaked almost everywhere.. She started up without much effort ! Unfortunately the radiator shop said my rad is shot and can't be...
