    Stranded

    You know that long shot?......... Yeah. Connector on the back of the dash switch was completely off. Puzzler... If it was completely off, HOW in the actual EFF did switching that disconnected switch have any effect whatsoever on the gauge, let alone which tank was being used? As I said...

    Stranded

    Yes, I do know that. But it's good to kind of do a review. Thank you. I am leaving crawling under, for last. Not relishing the diesel bath that I WILL take, once I lay hands on that valve... Got all the fuses changed. Tested the old ones. All good. But at least now I am not guessing. LOL

    Stranded

    Thank you. Crawling under the truck and taking a mud and diesel bath is the last thing on my list of to-dos for this diagnosis. I'd already planned, (when I reach the right point.), to actually jumper the switch connector at the dash, to more or less 'hard wire' the selector valve on the frame...

    Stranded

    I forgot the other 'strange thing'.... Put the switch on the rear tank, the gauge reads empty. But the gauge wasn't working on the rear tank, anyway. That's why I ran it out. Gauge stays on empty when switched to the rear. Put the switch on the front tank. Still empty. Unless you turn the...

    Stranded

    Went to town on sunday. On the way home, I ran out of gas. Or did I? Yes, I did. Or did I? Yes, I did. Or did I? Yes I did...... I hope you get the picture. I "ran out of gas", (and yes, I know it's diesel, and I had better NOT have gas in there. Bite me. LOL) 6 times. Fiddled with the fuel...

    Diego Revisited

    I thought about doing the same. Whole new line all the way back. MC to rear axle.

    By the way, I also posted here somewhere, a way to bypass the rabs valve, internally.

    Diego Revisited

    I physically completely bypassed the rabs valve. Then unplugged the module that is behind the glove box. I have had zero problems. In fact, I had problems with the truck not wanting to stop, before I did that. Zero problems either way, since then. Sucker almost killed me twice, with the...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I can't see any of those facebook links that keep getting posted. I don't have anything to do with facebook. You can't see them unless you log in.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    That's it. That's exactly what I used! Nylocks, at that! LOL Because they fill the space up a bit better than standard 1/4-20 nuts.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I replaced those nylon balls with 10mm nuts. (Or #10??? I can't quite recollect.)

    You haven't been out of high school long enough to miss it! LOL

    Timing tool in the PNW?

    Dude. Thank you for your generosity.

    Timing tool in the PNW?

    Why would you leave a deposit if the tools never leave the owner's possession?

    Timing tool in the PNW?

    I'm kind of curious how this worked out. Floattubr being new here, wouldn't necessarily know this, but it's 'traditional' for the requestor, to travel to where the tools are, and for the tool owner to do the work. In this case, I would assume Floattubr would travel to Nero, bringing his own...

    Power window fiasco

    Short answer, yes. That will work.

    Hey Bart! (Smoke on startup.)

    Not yet. At this point it is mostly conjecture. I am working on my house, and don't have the time to get out there and actually work on the truck yet. Before I get to work on it, the more I know, the better I'll go about the work when I get to it. Ergo, conjecture first. I'll make up a...

    Hey Bart! (Smoke on startup.)

    That makes sense! Still doesn't seem to fit the symptoms, quite right. It's acrid white smoke. Which makes it unburned fuel. (Too much fuel.) Which doesn't correlate with an IP not providing enough pressure/fuel, on startup.

    Hey Bart! (Smoke on startup.)

    Ok, mine smokes bad, on cold startup, and is almost always pointed downhill, on cold starts. That doesn't explain why this problem started immediately with changing the injectors.
  20. Selahdoor

    Hey Bart! (Smoke on startup.)

    Thank you. That's pretty much what I was thinking. I'll eliminate everything the best I can. But... Yeah, it was fine with the old injectors, and instantly started a TON of smoke only on startup, when the injectors were changed. I still think it is something else. Which was disguised by the...

    Hey Bart! (Smoke on startup.)

    Yeah, get outta heah you hacker! LOL Everyone is encouraged to reply! I titled it that way, because I began it as a quote by Bart. :)

    Hey Bart! (Smoke on startup.)

    What other cause could there be? Here's my experience... It was obvious I needed to replace my injectors. Uneven running was one symptom. Hard lope from the injectors unevenly applying. And it was getting worse. To the point where it almost seemed like some cylinders were battling each other...

    6.9 timing Where did the 8.5* come from

    You can take this or leave it. Given you have the 'official' numbers, and the timing equipment, etc... You can stick with 'official'... But given your symptoms, and my own experiences, I'd suggest you move the IP timing UP, (toward the passenger side.), by the thickness or two, of a dime.

    Hey Cubey, mirrors!

    Problem I am seeing with most new mirror heads is that they make them flimsy. They vibrate a lot.

    Hey Cubey, mirrors!

    I've got those kind of mounting arms on my 89 f250. But they have mirrors on them that aren't any bigger than the car type mirrors on my 91. I hadn't even thought about just using those arms and putting a bigger mirror on them. Thank you for the visual.
