    Early Banks filter box alternative?

    I had the early box like in your picture on my 93 with the 088 box. When I ran it hard my filter minder would set to restriction. I had to cut another round hole in the air box to get enough air flow to keep the filter minder from showing air restriction. Also that box uses a special k&n filter...

    Injection hard lines

    No, that was for LordTachunki. He said after putting on 6.9 lines he has a miss on #1 cylinder.

    Fuel filter light comes up what could be the cause?

    That looks like algae growing in your diesel.

    Injection hard lines

    Did you remove the timing adapter on number one when you put the 6.9 line on. I believe the 6.9 line is longer for this reason.

    Hydroboost pros and cons

    Hydro boost works with rabs. The braking should be much more reliable when stopping a load. I converted to hydro boost 6 years ago and have never regretted it. You need to drive one with it if you can, no comparison in stopping power.

    Injector pump longevity

    They‘re both DB2 pumps, but the Chevy model turns opposite of the Ford.

    Plastic return line cap melted? How to prevent in the future.

    If your copper washer was leaking you would have carbon on the injector threads. You’ve got heat traveling up the fuel feed of your injector. Aluminum rails may not melt like plastic caps but you’re not fixing the problem. It’s only one cap melting? There’s a problem with that injector.

    Plastic return line cap melted? How to prevent in the future.

    Looks like your injector is allowing exhaust back up to the inlet.

    Here’s a low tech model.

    Tensioner hitting fan

    Sounds like your tensioner is worn out if it is wobbling. Pull it off and see if there’s a bushing that can be replaced. May just be the bearing has bit the dust. I saw your other thread about a grinding sound.

    Tensioner hitting fan

    Check your water pump shaft that the fan mounts to. May be worn, the fan and clutch are pretty heavy. Try to move it up and down or side to side.

    Fuel Flow rate 6.9

    It’s not just fuel pressure but volume also. I believe you want 7lbs of pressure and 1/3 pint of fuel with 10 seconds cranking.

    Ate 2 sets of gps in a month or so

    Were both sets that burned out the ZD28? if so, I would try to find the ZD1 for the next round.

    6.9 can use zd1. The zd28 is used in Kubotas. They also don’t look like they’re getting that hot. A lot of buildup on tip that heats.

    2nd blown oil filter gasket and coolant mixing with oil? Help with isolating the causes?

    I’d hand tighten as tight as possible, there’s a lot of vibration going on it may be backing the filter off and allowing gasket to push out. If it’s still blowing out I’d check my actual oil pressure with a gauge (not dash oil gauge). There is a valve in the oil filter head, I know it will cause...

    Batteries are parallel 12 volts. Series would be 24 volts.

    '88 manual door lock sporadic problem

    If it’s not the lock cylinder itself it is probably one of the nylon bushings that attach the rod to the lock mechanism. Of course it could be dry and need lubricant.

    It could still be your relay. You can have volts but no current. Put one lead on the power lug and the other on the load lug and see if you’re dropping any voltage across the relay contacts. If no voltage drop, check resistance on a couple of glow plugs.
