    Coolant suddenly sucked into the oil

    Well, that's really a bummer. It really bothers me when things fail and I don't know why. Maybe change the heads? I'd hate to see another of these marvelous machines scrapped. Such a beautiful elegant design as far as simplicity, even if it isn't the most efficient. I don't need bragging...

    tires

    I am running the Ironman RB LT245/75R16. In retrospect, I wish I had spring for the 265, but I had vertical clearance issues at the time. https://www.tirebuyer.com/tires/ironman/rb-lt/p/tv153000587 So far these have been great for the city driving in my van, the tread design is for a smooth...

    No thermostat new water pump and she's getting warm

    Could it possibly be your timing? Inefficient engine operation will result in more fuel energy going to heat rather than to the shaft. Just a thought. I know you guys have beat a well worn path around this one. I just remember my old Toyota ran hot if I ran the timing too retarded.

    Coolant suddenly sucked into the oil

    Crushed by a oak tree. FOR SALE! https://www.oilburners.net/threads/crushed-by-a-oak-tree-for-sale.87962/ Looks like both of you had some bad luck, hopefully his engine can live on in your truck ? Incidentally, did you get any insight on how this happened?

    U2slow: .Android? WIN7? Using a SD card? I find running "FTP Server Pro" on the phone and WSFTP6.EXE on WIN7 works for me. http://www.oldversion.com/windows/ws-ftp-le-6 https://apk4free.net/ftp-server-pro/ And set the ftp server home folder custom directory to your sd card address ( for...

    Moog's SSD121 steering stabilizer

    Thanks for posting your research links, sieg. It's all the sharing that goes on over here that keeps all of us informed. God knows how much these folks have helped me. If it comes right down to bare metal, this forum is why I bought my van in the first place...right down to body type and it's...

    Radiator pressure

    About the cavitation... If I suspected exhaust gases are being forced into the coolant via pinhole leak, I would want to run another hose to the overflow port at the top of the radiator, and run it to a jug of water, so I could check for bubbling. And sniffable. Testing on a cold engine. I...

    Radiator pressure

    Pressure in the radiator when cold? Bad news. All the water should have gone back to liquid state, and if anything, drawing a slight vacuum, which sucks additional coolant from your overflow tank back into your radiator, topping it off. Keep your eyes on it for cavitation. It might be...

    Coolant Port for Gauge

    My take is water temp is nearly useless, because water boils away at a low temperature, holding the temperature down despite a serious malfunction. I am talking phase change, latent heat of vaporization, stuff refrigeration folks see all the time. Then when the water is all gone, the crap has...

    A/C System

    "ATF"="Automatic Transmission Fluid" And R290 is Propane... Barbeque gas, Hank Hill style... ( King of the Hill TV animated comedy ). The stuff sold as R290 is reportedly a higher grade, but I know for a fact our church was cooled for 50 years with the plain old barbeque stuff. We used it...

    A/C System

    Anyone have advice on running R290? I hear R290 and ATF are compatible, but I wonder what kind of material the seals should be made of. I am just getting so fed up with all this licensing stuff that if I can get commonly available stuff to do the job...

    7.3 idi tac issue

    According to my wiring diagram, both the tach dash gauge and the E4OD need the tach signal. I have an E4OD that had tach sensor problems. The TCS would constantly misbehave. Do you notice both gauge and transmission problems? Or just the gauge?

    Electric fuel pump part number

    I am currently running an older P4070, no issues, but a lot of folks here have reported disappointment with the newer ones. I am considering one of these should my old Carter fail. https://www.walbro.com/fr-series-fuel-pumps/frb-13-reciprocating-fuel-pump/ They cost about the price of a tow...

    We have to support our members. They support us. These guys have posted innumerable tidbits of info here. They show an interest in this stuff. When it comes to something real picky, I want somebody who has been in these things - a lot - and has already made the special jigs one needs to do...

    NAPA Echlin Ignition vs Motorcraft Glow plug relay comparison - with pics

    You are so right, Wes, on the time it takes just to find, organize, assemble, kit, and ship. Economies of scale. What you ask sounds very reasonable to me. You are not reselling the cheap stuff. You got the best you could find. I have faced similar situations, and simply wanted the best...

    NAPA Echlin Ignition vs Motorcraft Glow plug relay comparison - with pics

    They draw about 1 amp coil current too, and I understand, they are good for continuous operation without coil overheat. Should you need it. The Eichlins draw about 4 amps coil current. And will get hot if on for more than a few seconds. But then, that's a trade-off. Aluminum contacts might...

    NAPA Echlin Ignition vs Motorcraft Glow plug relay comparison - with pics

    Sure looks like a White-Rodgers industrial contactor 586-902? Silver contacts. Just like they were made before the highly-paid men of the suit and tie take over a company. I understand the Eichlin contacts are aluminum. Cost cut for the corporate shakers of the hand, more problems for us...

    New purchase, HOT MESS 89 F350 dually

    Exhumis: Thanks for the link! This info is so old it's getting almost impossie to find! The more of us who share, the more chance this valuable info won't be lost. Selahdor: .I think the object was to heat the fuel as it leaves the filter. Not to heat the whole filter full of fuel. But it...

    Glow plug troubles... again

    Do you have an electric fuel pump? Can you hear it during the glow plug cycle? Mine noticeably changes pitch when the glow plug relay kicks in and out. If you get the glow plugs to light off by force, that is manually routing battery to the plugs by whatever means, make a mental note of how...

    Extra Gauges

    Geez, did I ever get sidetracked... I am in process of adding instrumentation as well, trying to avoid engine damage from preventable causes. And have been looking at thermocouples. Now, I sheepishly need to answer the question asked instead of trying answer all those questions I have been...

    Extra Gauges

    Anyone found a good TypeK thermocouple for measuring EGT? From what I can tell, electrically, all Type K thermocouples are compatible. But mechanically, they come in many configurations for specific applications. Note many Fluke DMMs have type K thermocouple inputs as well. It should make a...
