    New IP, GP, and injectors… she’s running but smoking like crazy got a lope too

    When I first got mine working after 6 or 7 years of it sitting abandoned, mine did the same thing. I fixed it by turning the IP top towards the passenger fender by about 3/16" total. In 1/16" increments.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I like to french press my nescafe' instant coffee. Then strain it through a doily. Then distill it. Then filter it through fairy wings. And put two to three drops of it in my camomile tea, depending on how frisky I want to feel!

    Recharging AC

    It takes less R-12 than R134a to do the same cooling. It takes even less propane, to do the same. And you can use ordinary mineral oil for the oil. And propane is cheap! Jus' sayin...

    Emergency 9/11 - Ran 6.9 on gasoline/diesel mix

    That's kinda too bad. lol I only just now found this. LOL I was thinking that the gas washed out your system. Clogged the filter, and the screen in the IP. Somehow get that screen clean. Replace the filter with a new one, filled with transmission fluid. Those are things I would have tried...

    Cleaning out the radiator

    Thank you. I wondered about that.

    Cleaning out the radiator

    When it comes time for mine, I am considering CLR as the rinse. Drain the system. Fill with drinking water. Add the CLR. Run maybe ten minutes, then let sit overnight. Next day, drain again, then fill with plain water. Hook up a garden hose, and run it for maybe ten to twenty minutes. (At this...

    Road draft tube

    Yup. I already have plans and parts for making my own. This is just 'temporary' until I have the opportunity to actually make it. I had intended to make the catch can, run the hose to that, and then to the intake. Just got tired of all the hassle, and did this because it is what I had time...

    Road draft tube

    I made that change a couple years ago. Stuck a pipe in the intake, stuck a hose on that, and hung the hose down the back of the engine. There's so much blowby after she has been run to town, that it sometimes looks like the truck is on fire. I get dirty looks, I get alarmed looks, I smell the...

    Buying 85 IDI ATS turbo motorhome!

    If the tailwind was being turned into a headwind against the trailer, it would only be cancelling itself out, at worst. But the tailwind would actually lose some "energy" to pushing the van, and less of it's original energy would be let loose on the front of the trailer. Giving you a net gain.

    Buying 85 IDI ATS turbo motorhome!

    That's what I was talking about. Drill the hole out to the right size on those brackets I showed. Put one of these in each bracket. Screw the bracket to any piece of metal in front of your rad. Bend or spin it in any way you need to, to aim them. All that's left is the plumbing.

    I've got so many projects... Sometimes you just have to let it go, and move on.

    Buying 85 IDI ATS turbo motorhome!

    Perfect! Two windshield washer nodules, fed by a windshield washer pump, fed by the fresh water tank. You can get the parts for that at a junkyard. Buy new hose if you want, but you could probably piece enough together from the junkyard. Two "corner brackets"...

    I'm going to unlike this about 23 times, so I can like it again!

    Recommendations for AC coolant.

    Ok, I could see that possibly being the case as well. Especially with all the rats and mice we have here. I am not about to even try to take all that apart today. Maybe sometime next week. Also not going to be doing that any time in the foreseeable future, if it means I have to disconnect any...

    Recommendations for AC coolant.

    Ok, I finally got some time today, to check this out. 1. It is R-12 2. It IS working. No leaks. It gets cold enough to freeze your fingers if you put them up to the vents. After a very short time operating. Just no blasting of arctic cold when driving down the road. I checked the blend door...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    You know how they used to make candles? Dip a string in molten wax. Hang it to let it dry. Dip it again. Let it dry. Etc... Well it's too bad none of the manufacturers take a bare frame, and dip it in "Ospho" or something similar. Dipping so that the entire frame gets filled up as well, then...

    "Tank" my 91 Crew Cab Dually

    Thank you. Apparently mine is fine. Just seems like it is ALWAYS spinning hard when the engine is running...

    "Tank" my 91 Crew Cab Dually

    How freely should the fan spin by hand? (Engine not running, and cold, of course.)

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    What I learned from this chainsaw, I am going to try to remember from now on. When the saw will not start, if you have spark, and fuel, and air... Not even if you spray in some starter spray. There are 3 adjustment screws on the carb. H, L, and idle. Very first thing you do is to open up the...

    I did a bit of drill surgery on my mirror, and mounted it on the center screw of the top window trim.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I'm pretty sure I did.(Already had it.) Impossible to get the antibody test, just because you want it. (At least around here.) And expensive. But if you donate blood, they test for it, for free, and let you know. Guess what I am now scheduled to do? LOL

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Drove my truck to the covid test station. Never got out of the truck. Test is done with you still in your vehicle. Result was negative. No covid! Guess now I need to start looking for someone positive, to lick a spoon for me... LOL I really just want to get this and get over it and get on...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I don't want to keep sidetracking this thread, but I don't know where else to post it here. This seems to be the catch-all thread. LOL Another guy has tested positive. So, I bit the bullet. (I am the typical old guy. I HATE going to the doctor.) I made an appointment to be tested tomorrow morning.
