Dummy Plugs Leaking
Well I'm very new to 6.0s. My son just did a cab off head stud job and head rebuild. Now it cranks normal speed and slowly builds pressure to start. Runs fine once started. Just wondering where an "air test" is described. Thanks. By the way I'm am an IDI guy. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk- reset2

wmo causing metering valve to stick?
My personal thoughts on WMO usage. Settle, Pour 1 gallon gasoline. Pour 4 gallons WMO on top. Settle at least 3 weeks. Pour off 4 gallons for fuel. Scrap bottom 1 gallon. Mix with diesel ( at least 15percent). Use above 50 degree weather. Enjoy. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk- reset2

Oilburners 2019 Gatlinburg Rally
Cathie and I booked one of the onsite camper trailers. Don't have a camper at the present and pulling a camper that far is a task. Made the reservations for the whole week and will modify as it gets closer. Truck now has 161k on the speedo. Pretty much a daily driver work truck. Things...- reset2

This old truck is giving me a hard time.
Do you know what the service bulletin is for the drain back issue and do you sell the check valves. Pm me with the details that would be great. I have another IDI that is used for off road wood hauling (spare parts if needed) that has the drain back issue. Thanks- reset2

Why does is smoke black if I time the injection too advanced?
My experience was: Turbo ed a NA motor. Had previously turned up the pump (stock original factory). Smoked when pulling up a hill (black) unless boost was at 4 psi or more Try to not go over 1000 degrees. At the last rally had the motor re-timed and it was about 1-2 degrees advanced. Backed off...- reset2

Winter is comming test your Glow plugs.
One of my faults ( or blessings) is that I like to see how things work. Before this truck I never seen a glow plug or completely understood how they did what they do. Also if a person keeps track they are a good indicator of what is happening in the engine, but by using used plugs the data could...- reset2

Did I get a good deal?
If your tire appears to have a broken belt change it pronto. I have been lucky so far when belts broke on me. Kinda feels like its out of round about 20 mph but goes away when you get above that (might not feel that in a dually). Once I changed a tire that failed and left it in my driveway for...- reset2

Did I get a good deal?
The best thing I did was add a 1994 Ford Turbo set up I got from Towcat couple years ago. Pyro is needed for any fuel adjustments. My guess 148 or possible 248 by the engine look. The break pedal will show a lot. Corner worn to smooth rubber 100k plus, worn completely to metal on a corner 200k...- reset2

Winter is comming test your Glow plugs.
After my truck got much slower starting this week (in Maryland). I had to put the glow plugs to the top of the list. When ever you glow plug controller times out very fast most likely a glow plug or several plugs are burnt open. My truck had three that burnt open and a couple weak ones. Put the...- reset2
