    The Resurrection

    A little while back I had my truck catch fire going down the highway. After finally making it back home with it I decided I was gonna rebuild it and do some other repairs while I have it torn apart. My main plan is to replace everything that burned along with get an upgraded turbo kit and...

    Maybe a 911?

    A strap wrench usually works good in tight areas

    Anyone else bought a bad turn signal switch?

    I've recently bought a napa switch. Worked great for about 3 weeks then the latches that hold the switch in the on position broke and had to hold the lever in the direction I wanted to signal

    These engines from the factory have a lot of blow by something to do with a large ring gap designed into the engine for emission controls.

    As I recently learned the hard way, a useful tool to bring is a fire extinguisher minimum of 5lbs.

    What are you all using to get that injection pump out??

    A lot of people modify a 9/16 wrench to fit. For me I don't know if I just got lucky or what but I was able to get mine loose with a 9/16 stubby wrench.

    High egts and low boost pressures

    I figured either a fuel return started leaking under the turbo or the oil feed/drain started leaking onto the hot turbo and the rest is history. With the intake, the kit I bought did not include the intake system so I had to make do

    High egts and low boost pressures

    Welp bad news everybody. I was just creating a pass when the turbo caught fire. Damage is less than it could have been but it's still disabled for now. Thanks for the help but itll be a while before I can work on it again

    High egts and low boost pressures

    Update: I got all the exhaust couplers on the y pipe and the crossover tube sealed, the up pipe joint was not leaking and I reclocked the turbo so the hat sits tighter on the manifold. The egts did improve a little but and dropped to 1000 to 1050 degrees and but the boost betweenat 2300 rpm...

    High egts and low boost pressures

    I am using the factory down pipe, with 3" exhaust after it. I am using studs/nuts on the manifolds and where the crossover tube connects I have one stud and one bolt (one stud was missing when I got the assembly)

    High egts and low boost pressures

    The 2 halves of the up pipe are rusted solid together so that should be good (makes it a pain to install by the way) so that should be good. Other than the exhaust leaks what else could cause the egts to get this hot. I know loaded it's common to see 1100 degrees but it seems high for an...

    High egts and low boost pressures

    It looks like its leaking where the y pipe connects to the passenger manifold and a little around the pyrometer probe. What's a good way to seal them?

    High egts and low boost pressures

    Going up the mountain passes unloaded going 65mph I'm getting egts of 1100 degrees and boost pressures of a max of 7psi at 2300rpm. I have a 1991 f350 with a factory turbo setup out of a 1993 pickup and for a transmission I have the 5 speed manual. Is this normal or is there ways to increase...

    Need advice on IP and injectors

    I would strongly recommend adding a turbo even for light driving.

    Need advice on IP and injectors

    Is your truck have a turbo? If it doesn't itll struggle on hills regardless of the condition of the injectors and ip. For the lifespan of the injectors and ip I read somewhere that they last usually between 120000 and 170000 miles but someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

    Leaking Head Gasket

    One thing you can do is double check to see if when you installed the head you didn't miss torquing one of the head bolts

    84 300td in a jeep looking for more power

    Looks like the alda was previously removed so it should be full flow all the time. Is there any other adjustment to give a little more power?

    84 300td in a jeep looking for more power

    I got what I believe to be the 300td (5 cylinder with turbo) in a jeep yj and I was wondering if there is a fuel adjustment screw similar to the old Ford idiot's to turn up the fuel
