    Jesus Freak's WMO IP thread

    Probably no, given that there is no standard for WMO. There are too many variables as to filtering methods, the oil quality sourced, etc.

    GEAR VENDORS TROUBLESHOOING HELP NEEDED

    Here is a PDF with diagram. The GearVendors box itself is a mystery box as far as how it works or what it does, though this diagram hopefully helps. It is a for a 4x4 manual truck, should be similar. That diagram shows a manual/auto selector switch. Ensure that switch is working by checking...

    Probably bad DMF?

    I was able to install my transmission and LuK SMF without special tools. Ratchets, tons of extensions, two 6" pieces of all thread to act as guides for the transmission on the bottom bolt holes. All the information on how to do so I gleaned from these forums. These transmissions are fairly easy...

    72 Highboy swapped IDI on Deboss Garage

    I am quite ok with the IDI being depicted in this light given it will keep prices on engines and parts low as popularity remains niche. I posted it due to the rarity of well produced content for this engine, as well as the fact that Deboss got me interested in diesels in the first place when I...

    IDI Parts

    I did Saginaw with that bracket and a hydroboost setup, pretty sure there are pictures of what I did in my build thread. I can take pictures if you need. Learning what all the different types of fittings were to get the correct pieces was the hardest, followed by making hoses. Not too bad...

    Smoke after turbo install

    In my case the tube wouldn't fit the probe so I had to drill it out, in doing so the tube became extremely wobbly. A spot weld helped, seems probe has to sit at a sweet spot for it to read correctly, no matter of business card tricks seems to help, have to get it set by hand and leave it...

    Smoke after turbo install

    I'll be back at it today trying to time this engine. It keeps reading -20 on my meter, I cannot for the life of me get it to read correctly with the magnetic pickup. Ordered a timing light and will use a combo of the 3300-S meter I have along with the light to get a reading. Turbo moves...

    Is timing at 1400 RPM for a 6.9 or is it still 2000?

    Smoke after turbo install

    I have not turned up the fuel. The idea to turn it up comes from several posts I've read saying that if the fuel is too low then the mixture doesn't ignite properly. Currently there isn't an air filter on it while I diagnose this, shouldn't be any obstruction. I have advanced it some more and...

    Smoke after turbo install

    I should add it has zero problems starting, fires immediately after 10 seconds of glow plugs, doesn't need them after the first start.

    Smoke after turbo install

    I'm getting quite a bit of smoke after installing a turbo. I had the truck running well before the turbo, now it smokes at idle and even worse at throttle. Smoke makes my eyes water, seems to be fuel related. I have these following questions: Do I need to turn the fuel up to get a more...

    '86 Extended cab project thread

    Long time, no post. Rebuilt the turbo, no play now and seems to be fine. Got the entire turbo kit installed, as well as fabbed up an exhaust from bits from a couple of trucks. Whenever I start the truck I get terrible blue smoke. Working on timing today, reading too many threads with...
