    Strange issues, tried basically everything

    Yes still getting there, today had to replace power steering pump, and pitman arm and yesterday was valve cover gasket and air filter, I’m literally replacing everything on this truck it’s been going out one after the other non stop lately, now I get why people just do frame up restorations but...

    Strange issues, tried basically everything

    Well changed the other valve cover today that I hadn’t been into yet, absolutely 0 sludge and even the valve spring retainers where shiny which seems kinda odd for a 190xxx mile motor maybe? I’ve had it for the last 75xxx miles. No crusty looking valve springs and nothing was loose. Only thing I...

    Strange issues, tried basically everything

    I’m thinking is a injector issue, and I think the injector is making the motor fight itself in the higher rpms range if that’s a possibility? Used to run super smooth but not I’m getting occasional slight miss and I can hear it out the exhaust other times the only thing I’m noticing is the...

    Strange issues, tried basically everything

    @IDIoit i though it was more about volume than pressure? I’ve got a constant 5 psi never really drops with high fuel demand the carter has a high fuel volume. Guess I could buy a higher psi carter and see if it helps any? I was also planning on a second motor and just run till this one dies...

    Strange issues, tried basically everything

    Yes when doing cam I plan on all the proper stuff and replacing whatever I can for the most part while inside there lifters being one of the items, really any item that is considered a wear item so long as funds allow. Hopefully studs happen as well but with everything I’ve built so far on the...

    Potentially looks like I maybe need to rebuild my heads? Which I wouldn’t really mind doing since I’ve always wanted to put a r and d cam in my truck just haven’t had a reason to tear into the motor that far yet. Guess I’ll see after compression test

    Also not too many highway miles on the truck for the most part these days it’s mainly in town but I do take 30 minutes drives now and again intentionally run it hard for a little so it doesn’t get a bunch of carbon build up and everything heats up a good amount

    Would broken rings make a ticking noise that comes and goes? @Thewespaul

    Strange issues, tried basically everything

    Strange issues, tried basically everything

    @Thewespaul no I didn’t ask about transfer pressure yet phone call was precious to you mentioning that, he said after I try the stethoscope to listen for a odd ball injector to call him back if anything is found to be potentially wrong. I will mention transfer pressure possibly being the issue...

    Strange issues, tried basically everything

    I’m at a little less than 20k currently on pump, I talked to Justin on the phone it sounds like I have possible injector issue happening. Noticed while timing it holding at 2k I left a large patch of grass wet with diesel behind the tailpipe, first he said sounded like return was plugged but I...

    Strange issues, tried basically everything

    not yet, but I did make 20psi with my 088 ats and this fuel set up about a year ago but usually kept it around 15 max since no studs. Changed turbo made about 16psi at first when I tried to max it out after driving it around a bit with new turbo, then it’s just been slowly dwindling down now at...

    Pensacola diesel?

    Don’t even try, maybe 1 out of every 10 pumps will work for a short while and even then it tends to have a short poor performing life

All that’s left is 2 under the turbo and 1 autolite I may just leave because I don’t think it’s ever coming out lol though my motocraft plugs that have been in 5 years did look a little burnt and one even slightly swelled but that’s what I get for leaving them activated for 5...

    Getting hard to start lately

    I tried jumping the relay across the two large terminals with no luck, no sparks and no battery voltage drop, but I did verify 12v at the relays power input. All wiring is original in the glow plug system except the controller is disabled and I have a switch to activate the relay instead...
