    Might have found my second idi

    Yep, looking at those rpms and speed I was going to say 3:55’s. No way that’s 4:10 gearing

    B99 fuel?

    So if the biodiesel oil reacts with “ferrous metals and copper and brass” within the injection system, than why is it being sold commercially? I have talked to Mel @ Conestoga Diesel about this topic and his injection pumps are warranted for biodiesel. Viton o-rings are key when running...

    ;Sweet. Sounds nice & strong! Looks like it’s coming together really well.

    Low boost

    Timing should be set to around 8-9.5 btdc. You might see increased boost psi and you’ll for sure get more power out of that engine.

    Low boost

    Then you probably aren’t getting the full output of that “so called” 90cc pump. Turn the pump up a flat or two and see how it performs. Everything you have mentioned tells me our engine can use more fuel. Has your engine been timed??

    B99 fuel?

    All it takes is about 5% bio fuel to give these injection pumps and injectors more than enough lube. You should be fine running a tank of b99. It’ll also clean things up pretty good. Used to run Flying J b20 in my rig so I wouldn’t have to put any fuel additives in tanks. Ran pretty good on the...

    Part # for air filter

    Do not put a spectre filter on your truck unless you don’t mind gobs of dirt entering into your engine, and ruining your turbo wheel. We had this discussion a few years back. Ask Idioit, as he’s the first one to encounter this problem. Couldn’t have come at a better time because I was about to...

    Atf in oil flush

    MMO is good stuff. It’s a very powerful detergent oil, unlike atf which doesn’t have any detergents in it. Glad your problem went away.

    E4od torque converter look up issue

    You’ve answered your own question in the first post. Like everyone else has said, it’s your rear light bulbs. Keep these trucks basic without the eye glitter and they will work well for ya.

    Is water in fuel common any more?

    It happens, especially in the winter when fuel tanks are low and vehicles/tractors sit for a while. Tanks tend to sweat and moisture builds up. Typically nothing that a fuel filter w/ water separator & some iso-heet can’t take care of though.

    Turbo talk

    Why do you need to keep boost under 10psi? The entire goal of a turbo is to make as much boost as you can! You can safely max out at around 13psi without an intercooler. Of course you need a large enough turbo to supply the air. Anything above that requires an intercooler because air charge...

    Atf in oil flush

    And sticky valves. My yj has a new engine in it, but the brainless PO that I bought it from didn’t change the oil since he replaced engine......which was 4 years ago and 6k miles. Needless to say, it took a couple flushes for oil to not dirty up right away. And the engine always ran rough when...

    Atf in oil flush

    I would dump 2 quarts marvel mystery oil in engine and leave it in. That stuff really works. I run it in all my vehicles & small engines. Added to both the fuel and oil. http://www.marvelmysteryoil.com/

    Re treaded tires?

    That means they are cheap shit tires. Good luck

    "Rebuilt" 6.9 idi with ARP studs - don't want to ruin this one too!!

    This is actually the opposite way around.

    Re treaded tires?

    Not worth it imo. A tire that pops can make you lose control of your vehicle and/or ruin your fenders. Not to mention put others in danger if you do end up losing control. If you tow frequently, I would definately ditch that idea. Best to buy new tires if you can afford it.

    7.3 idi no start when warm

    Buy an injection pump from Russ aka typ4, Mel aka Agnem @ Conestoga Diesel, or R & D idi performance. If you buy a pump from anywhere else, you can expect it to be a POS.

    Rear diff cover

    Or you can just drill a hole, smooth out the burs and install a Dana 35 differential cover plug. They also have these available at Azone...

    Rear diff cover

    Sounds like a good idea, especially for an engine build haha

    Pro Diesels Reman Engines

    After all the headache I’ve had with buying a rebuilt engine online and it being a piece of crap, I would personally rebuild what you have now....for a couple reasons. It may be cheaper going that route depending on what shape your engine is in. Also, a good machine shop will let you know if...

    Those look like custom made injector lines lol. And the throttle cable isn’t hooked to mounting bracket.

    Temp affected tachometer

    It’s probably the tachometer sensor that’s on top of the IP gear tower. Mine did the same thing years ago. Wouldn’t be accurate when cold but would be good once engine warmed up. A new sensor fixed that.

    7.3 idi no start when warm

    Invest in a bike and helmet along with the water for when the truck leaves you stranded somewhere.

    800 for that truck? Cool truck and even better price tag.
