    Carter P4070 Electric fuel pump failures.

    Yeah I have phoned Carter a couple times and bitched about he lack of quality or trying to get some advice on anything I might be doing wrong (which there isn't really) and their support has been dismal to. Im not looking for a refund or return, im just looking for reliability. Im now carrying...

    ZF-S5-42 Germany or USA build preference

    Yup that's my thoughts I am going to go German built. It is higher mileage but seems to be tighter then the US one. I do own them both, both are out of diesels.

    ZF-S5-42 Germany or USA build preference

    Going thru some ZF gear boxes trying to pick a good candidate for my next T-19 to ZF swap. Im looking at a 1990 build date S5-42 that's built in Germany and a 1995 build date one that's built in the U.S. Are there any differences in quality with the two build loactions?

    Carter P4070 Electric fuel pump failures.

    Ah yeah I believe it. And to add to my original post, I also had one leak from the electrical connector area and the bottom of them pump. It was sucking in air while running and leaking fuel out when off

    Carter P4070 Electric fuel pump failures.

    Just putting this out here as a FYI on what I have been dealing with; seemingly another poor quality issue arising. For years I have used Carter P4070 electric fuel pumps on everything from heavy equipment, to automobile applications and have used them for years on our idi's when converting to...

    Early Banks, water cooled turbo

    Good to know thanks. Will have to pull the turbo off to get at it I guess. The picture of the engine out of the truck, is an older photo. Unfortunately one of the coolant ports is at the rear of the turbo, not easily accessed at all.

    Early Banks, water cooled turbo

    Here is a picture of it. Showing the water inlet right up front, and the other port is on the back. The wire/sheet metal around the inlet was possible for protection against rubbing on the air box, don't know. Im in the process of tiding the engine up and putting it back into service.

    Early Banks, water cooled turbo

    I have an early Banks, non wastegated turbo on an 85 6.9. There is a "24025" stamped in the bottom of the compressor housing and a "11318" is all that's still legible on the tag. Square filter box Works great, not much play in the shaft. I will try to get pics in the daylight tomorrow. However...

    Favorite mechanical lift pump brand?

    Sure seems like some of the old tried and true brands are not holding up as they used to. The last two carter mechanicals I have installed, lasted about 30-50,000miles till they started to leak or loose prime

    E4od, torque converter pulled with engine, or left on input shaft?

    That's what I was thinking. Thanks for the added assurance.

    E4od, torque converter pulled with engine, or left on input shaft?

    Pulling an idi that's mated to an E4od. The trans will be staying in the truck for the engine pull. Rad and hood are off the truck and I have lots of pulling power and lift to pull as high as I need. I have pulled them in the past, with the TC both attached to the flywheel still and also left...

    Don't Ya Hate It When...

    Oh.....how I hate block heater problems during those temps. Especially when its only a 2 year old offshore made heater with little use, that full retail was paid on.

    Racor fuel filters/water separators

    Yeah I have run one several. The plastic bowls get brittle and crack with age. Otherwise, good units.

    Zf5 starting in 2nd/floating gears

    Im one to never float a syncro trans. Im a truck driver and float transmissions plenty, when its a transmission designed to do so. But not a ZF. I also always start in 1st even with 4.10 gearing, unless the truck is rolling slightly or starting off downhill. Why put extra strain on the...

    CTS turbo kit?

    Old post! But......I have one to, installed on an 85 F250. From Kamloops. Works well. Produces about 10psi of boost. The truck came into my possession due to suspected bad head gaskets tho so I haven't run it much. The turbo is being "stored" on that truck till I do something with it.

    Fuel pressure gauge opinions/suggestions
