    Efficiency comparison between gasoline and diesel engines on generators.

    Thanks Selahdoor. I am currently running a diesel genset for when the power goes out.

    Air to water intercooler

    I was under the impression that the E Series did not have intercoolers due to the lack of space.

    Just a random thought: IP electrical connectors

    Check the glow plugs with a light. Place the "ground" connection, of the light, to the + of the battery. Now take the probe and touch each tip of the glow plugs. If it lights up it is good. If it does not light up, no good. The glow circuit cycling quickly is the clue.

    Re-ring...nozzle issues??? Tired of project

    The hydraulic lifters will do this. But now since you have solid lifters you will have to adjust the the rocker arms do get some clearance.

    Defrost only, no vents or floor

    Your vacuum is bad. It defaults to defrost when bad.

    So What Did You Do With Your PSD Today?

    Have you pulled the codes? The Engine Light tells you that there should be codes to pull.

    New Project 6.9 E350, what did I get myself into.

    Did you fill the oil filter before you put it in? If not this is why no oil pressure. The #1995 style oil filter is BIG! Remove the glow plugs and crank it some more.

    Wastegate not activating

    Normally you only need a hose from the intake manifold to the wastgate actuator. That simple, no T's needed. Where does the other hose off the T go to? A dash gauge for boost?

    Wastegate not activating

    Diesel engines do NOT produce vacuum. You can rev it to the redline and no vacuum. This is why there are vacuum pumps for the brakes and/or the Heater/AC. The wastegate is boost operated, as 79jasper stated.

    No heat in cab

    No you do NOT have to pull the dash to get to the heater core. Just remove the glovebox and you are there. Remove the heater box cover and you are golden.

    OBS Overheat!!!!

    Yeah, this is your cooling system and you want it to work ALWAYS. Don't go cheap on this.

    oil type

    My 6.0 got the rumps using 15W-40 so I switched to 5W-40 and had no problems. Worked better in the winter for cold starts.

    Anyone had this problem?

    Also look at the u-joints, are they aligned the same? If not pull the shaft apart and align then so they are the same and re-install. I have had this problem.
  19. DaveBen

    Anyone had this problem?

    Your driveshaft can cause this. Crawl under there and shake the driveshaft near the ends. Does it move? YES=new u-joints.
  20. DaveBen

    Anyone had this problem?

    NO don't use Locktite. Check them when you grease the u-joints. When the u-joints get loose they cause the vibration you feel and that can loosen the bolts. Your u-joints are shot before then so you need to pay attention.

    6.9idi head retorqueing.

    What did you "tighten" them up to? If you did not use a torque wrench then you are flying blind. Only thing to do is remove the heads and make sure they are FLAT and re-install using new gaskets.

    I'm back in the IDI game!

    You can use a socket wrench on the lower crankshaft dampener and turn it from the front of the truck, without crawling under the truck.
