    Towing ?

    I’m towing almost every day with my 94 f350 idi turbo zf5 4:10 gears. I think the lightest load I’ve ever hauled was around 4000 pounds. I’m generally hooked to around 6-8000. Heaviest pull was 22,000 pounds. Truck handled it like a champ. I had to go to 35 mph in 2nd gear on a 8% grade with...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I built a new glow plugs harness and rewired everything on the engine. It stats so easy now!

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    It’s got great low end torque now! Also, I have a zf5, and because of the extra torque, and the newly calibrated pump, it smokes a lot less when I take off from a stop. It probably helps that this pump has a smoke screw too, my last one didn’t and it would give a little puff when pulling up onto...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    That is how I was running with the stock pump. I have one of Wes’s gtx3582 turbos, so I was seeing 15 psi un waste gated, which was all my weak pump would fuel too. With this new pump I’m sure I would see mid 20s- possibly low 30s boost numbers. I don’t have head studs, so I hooked the waste...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    It’s been single digits to low teens when I start mine up in the mornings. Only 5 of the glow plugs are working. I’m building a new wiring harness tomorrow and installing all new plugs. Should be a bit less smoky when I start after that

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I installed my CDD 90 pump today. I am super happy with how it performs! It actually runs cooler on the hills than with my maxed stock pump. I can’t wait to put some weight behind the beast and see what it will do!!

    I jump started a 12 valve in distress this morning. Poor Cummins :joker:

    Looks like head gasket time

    I use it whenever I have a smoke issue, and it always takes care of it for me. The Extreme is designed to be used as an occasional deep cleaner, and then the Everyday Treatment is for regular, every tank fill up. I use both, and am very happy with how it works. That being said, I hope that you...

    I got my 90cc CDD pump from Wes today! I can’t wait to see how it does when I get it installed this Friday or Saturday!! Seeing that Wes built it, I am sure that I will be more than pleased with the performance results

    Looks like head gasket time

    If it was me I would run a fuel filter of HotShots Diesel Extreme through it and let it sit with that in the pump and injectors overnight. Run it hard the next day and it should take care of a decent amount of smoke if it’s fuel related

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Yeah, I’ve never seen a diesel roll that much coal before I was able to get out before the fuel lit and it exploded. I don’t have any injuries, but the backhoe is a total loss. I’m going to find out if homeowners insurance will cover it or not today. I hope it does

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Well, today I did a ton of greenwaste hauling as usual. But I was able to use a backhoe for loading the trailer which makes life a lot easier!

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Today I hauled stock in my 28 foot stock trailer. I do it several times a week, but since I’m on the forum I figured I would post about it:joker: the trailer is all steel and weighs a little over 6000 unloaded, so when you load it up with cattle, it weighs several thousand metric truckloads LOL...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    It sounds to me like your return line is stuck sending fuel to the rear tank. Do you have an electric lift pump?

    That’s gonna look awesome man!

    Fuel leak, not the return lines

    What I always do when I have a mystery leak is in fold up a light colored shop towel and slide it into the valley pan beneath the injection pump and injection lines. Once the towel is in place I let the truck idle for 5-10 minutes and then shut it off. Then using a bright flashlight I inspect...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Well, I got my starting problem figured out and fixed today. It makes me feel like a real moron though :joker: I was working on some battery connections, and went to fire it up to check things out, and there was a sudden smell of burning rubber and my starter seized. So it was my starter all...

    Thank you for the advice! I’ll try that this afternoon and see if it helps

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Yeah, that’s what I was thinking too. I have a spare starter anyhow, so if I burn up my current one I’m not stuck. This is a perfect example of why you should always buy quality when it comes to pumps:joker: this pump is one I got from Diesel Care and Performance before I knew better. It’s...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Glowplugs are on a manual switch, so I don’t need to worry about that. Would the ether just be for diagnosing what the issue is? Because I don’t like starting it from under the hood every timeLOL, which I did with a previous engine using ether

    Running rough under load

    Check your exhaust crossover Pipe and make sure all the studs are tight. I had the same issue when I put my engine back in my truck and forgot to tighten the crossover up. I’m no expert under any stretch of the term, but that’s just my guess

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    The starter is strong still. I think it is just that my pump is worn enough that it takes it a little while to build up the initial pressure needed to pop the injectors when starting. I have a 90cc pump on order from @Thewespaul, but it won’t get here till November. So I’ll just have to figure...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I tried to do some diagnostics on my truck today and that fails so I ended up fixing an exhaust leak I didn’t know I had till todayLOL I’ve been having a lot of trouble with starting my rig. It’s running well but I have to crank it for 1-2 10 second intervals before it starts. Honestly it’s...
