    Knocking, blowing smoke, general dismay

    Yep cold starts better than my gasser most of the time, idles great, runs great, just once in a while it goes into self destruct.

    Knocking, blowing smoke, general dismay

    Not sure how blowby is, havent modified anything, left the gear housing alone, and no on the auxiliary pump. I recently got the truck and it has done this since I got it.

    Knocking, blowing smoke, general dismay

    So a little update on my truck. I replaced the injectors and IP and the problem is still there. Under load, like going up a hill or rapid acceleration the engine starts knocking, blowing tons of smoke, and tries to runaway. Sometimes the smoke is white sometime black. If I get on the brakes and...

    I would think this would be a good deal,..

    I thought these ol engines weren't too fond of exhaust brakes

    Sooo about my new truck...

    I guess no "New" truck is without issues So another issue with the new rig, when I'm in third doing about 55 pulling a hill a loud knocking noise appears. It doesnt sound like a rod knock, not a deep enough sound. Its also not RPM dependent, I can run it up on the governor and it wont mind it...

    Yes this is for my "new addition". Thanks for the info guys, for now I have started using the rear tank as it has been dry since I got it. I'll look into getting some sort of fuel water seperator

    Sooo about my new truck...

    I was saying before about how I thought I had fuel delivery issues, well I was poking around with the fuel lines to look for a kink. I found one where someone had coupled the line in a loop without enough radius so it is pinching the line. Well I got to thinking and.... :wtf: thats where the...

    Wish me luck

    Still not running right, not sure what to do. It idles and revs fine but as soon as I put load on it the engine sputters and dies. I talked the previous owner and it was a daily driver for him, he never had this happen. Does it sound like air in the system?

    Wish me luck

    Ok thats good to know, the rear tank gauge works fine, maybe the front is just sucking air at quarter tank so I havent got it down yet?
  15. Hyde

    Wish me luck

    So I have a small issue, it could just be my own stupidity or something serious. I have determined the fuel gauge for at least the front tank doesnt work, if it does I really have issues, it stops going down at about 1/4 tank. I put 5 gallons in it yesterday at the beginning of my 40 mile drive...

    I want to fab up a turbo with an HX35, the engine has been rebuilt do you think it still has the 20.7:1 pistons? I dont know about the rear axle being replaced but its not full float

    Right...

    Well he kinda came clean, admitted it hasnt been dynoed
  22. Hyde

    Right...

    Thats the truck they stuck the engine in after it was banned form pulling
  23. Hyde

    Right...

    Yea I'm sure most of us know about it and know it can be done, but thats some serious coin. And some guy posting an idling vid on youtube doesnt sound like a prime candidate. This is the truck you are thinking of
