    Post up your custom fuel pump/filtration setups....

    Hey Bill, I run 2 Goldenrod filters, one just before the lift pump and one under the hood on the back side of the regular location. I got that black gravely stuff after taking on a load of fuel at Raceway- never purchased from them again. The Goldenrod filterhead is designed to be supported by...

    Vacuum Warning Switch

    Or... you could just chuck it in the trash and install a mechanical vacuum gauge somewhere in the cab. It will let you know a lot sooner that your pump is getting ready to suck its last breath.

    Q for those that have deleted the factory fuel header

    I run two fuel filters, one down on the frame rail just before the fuel pump, with shut off valves on either side to prevent siphoning when changing filters, and one on the backside of the original under-hood bracket because I went with a completely different header. It has no heater, no...

    Post up your custom fuel pump/filtration setups....

    This is what I run on the passenger side frame rail, after a valve isolated waterblock filter. Went through all of the pump/filter trauma several years ago. I run a 2nd waterblock filter at the regular filter location and tap off of the line to the IP to a hood mounted mechanical fuel pressure...

    diesel RX glow plugs

    I don't remember- I rebuilt the engine around the end of 2015, made a new GP harness and installed a push button & 150A continuous duty solenoid. I think the controller was a little cooked, just like the original one ended up.. If I had it to do all over again, I would install a push button as...

    extra cooling.

    Towing heavy in Florida (93-96F) summer heat with a 3 row aluminum radiator and the rear head & block cooling passage plugs center punched open to 3/8", I never have seen anything higher than about 217F.. I will say though, that a custom zero air gap shroud and 3 e-fans help with the cooling...

    Filtration Spec Question

    Try Amsoil bypass filters- I don't know if they have any that will fit your base, but I didn't see you mention them in your search results.

    Retorquing ARP head studs

    Which grows more when hot- head studs or cast iron? When building two stroke racing engines we always heat cycled them twice then let them go dead cold before re-torquing them. I can't imagine that the tendencies of expansion and contraction of our engines would be so different as to warrant a...

    electric fans

    I used .050" EPDM pond liner and pop-riveted it to the shroud.

    electric fans

    Not sure why either, possibly from hiccup during photo upload last night. I went to the link and yes, you repeated the stated info accurately- I never doubted you, was more suspicious of them.. For $92.00 it must be a much more efficient/better designed motor, perhaps brushless?

    electric fans

    Too much power? Probably not, but 2350 [email protected] is incredibly good if it's accurate. I'm using 2 JDM 10"- 1730 [email protected], each on its own relay, (1st relay controlled by thermostat, 2nd relay controlled by first relay) and a 12" 1730 [email protected] on a manual switch. I made a shroud that seals with...

    Turbo time thanks to head gasket leak

    One leak is at the right front, almost at the corner, between oil pan and block. The other seems to be from the brand new front main- I haven't had the pulley off to see yet. I was meticulously careful with the RTV sealant on the pan and am so disappointed that I didn't get a good seal there...

    Turbo time thanks to head gasket leak

    The install is stalled- I'm dealing with an oil leak(s) right now and dreading having to pull the engine again. For some of you, I know pulling an engine is no big deal, but for me it's a HUGE deal involving hoist rental, very little help and a left arm that's only 30% functional... Not to...

    EGT Differences

    Yes, that's what came to mind immediately- but I REALLY don't want to think that because they are freshly rebuilt and only have maybe 1500 miles on them... I know- the rebuilder could have just cleaned them up and charged me.. What do other folks get for warm idle temps?

    EGT Differences

    I have installed an Auber Instruments dual readout meter and matching EGT probes immediately behind the last cylinders on each manifold. Passenger side is running 100°F cooler than drivers side. Highest temp observed on drivers side at warmed-up idle was 329°F, passenger 230°F. Two questions- do...

    Dieselcraft Oil Centrifuge

    In the shop I have a PABiodiesel centrifuge setup for cleaning WMO that uses a Chevette PS pump to supply pressure because PAB recommends 90psi to spin it at the proper speed.. I don't know about you guys oil pumps, but mine only makes 40psi running down the road, so no way could I use one in a...

    how to make real HP with your IDI

    I would say that the bottom end probably will be OK at the level of hp you'll make without spending extraordinary amounts of hard earned $$ on the rest of the engine. Based on your own list; Fuel - (Agnem) Super Moose & Moose Misters Turbo - (Typ4) 2 turbos, properly sized and run in...

    Fuel selector valve

    Interesting.. A lot of beautiful work here. A lot of different things used.. Me? I used a tape measure- carefully. When I replaced the sender/pickup/return unit I just straightened the pickup pipe until it was within 1/8" of the tank bottom and safety wired some SS bug screen over the end to...

    Pyrometer/Thermocouple Fitment

    Auber Instruments are the folks I ended up going with because of the multi-function capability and the dual display since I'm running an EGT probe in each manifold.. It has output terminals for relays and other odds and ends. For $153 I got two EGT probes and this little jewel...

    How "HIGH" should the high idle be at initial startup?

    Amazing. I don't even know where the wire to the cold start is- it was missing from what was left of the harness when I bought the truck.. However, the Baby Moose pump (thanks Mel!) idles the engine at 750 rpm whether it's 22°F or 97°F. I really don't like the idea of a cold engine going over...

    How to relocate fuel filter?

    Yes- thank you, ORB not SAE! I claim age slippage- that's my story and I'm stickin' to it..

    How to relocate fuel filter?

    You could do it like I did in this photo. A short piece of diesel rated fuel hose makes the curve from the OEM return fitting on the top of the IP to the 3/8" hose barb/NPT elbow which screws into a 3/8" female NPT Tee with 1/4" hose barbs screwed into each side. A leaky OEM filter head annoyed...

    New Guy, turbo question.

    Obviously this should be fodder for the lounge, but this is where the pot was stirred again, so... I've kept quiet on this subject ever since those times. I read it all and kept my own council, seeing the way the baiting, the snide comments and outright claims of "Liar!" kept on coming from...

    E4OD shifting erotically

    E4OD shifting erotically... Seriously? So what does it do, moan and pant before each shift? Shift faster and faster until it explodes? :slyLOL
