    1994 7.3 IDI not running puzzler

    Most of the starts but don't runs I've seen around here are due to leaking return lines. One truck I bought actually did run good, but the dual mass flywheel had come apart and the racket made the owner think the motor was bad. ( I did explain to him that is might just be the flywheel before I...

    Utah Dyno event

    Anybody here have an IDI they want to dyno? Industrial Injection is having a dyno day May 4th, 2013. I'm trying to talk a few IDI guys I know into going. My plan is to run my Ram stock and then with CNG so I know how much extra power it is laying down on gas. Wish my '57 was closer to...

    Compressed Natural Gas and diesel dual fuel system.

    Propane has a lower autoignition temperature than CNG, which is more likely to damage your motor. Lots of kits out there, but do a little search and you will find a bunch of blown motors.

    Compressed Natural Gas and diesel dual fuel system.

    So... just thought of something else. You would probably want some kind of safety to make sure you couldn't flow CNG while your glow plugs were heating!! A simple Normally Open thermo switch that locked out the flow until the motor was up to 160 F or so maybe.

    Compressed Natural Gas and diesel dual fuel system.

    That is the beauty of using a natural aspiration type regulator- it should work on any diesel. A simple toggle switch wired through an oil pressure switch (to meet NFPA code) is all the wiring I have hooked to the truck. The only advantage I see to the electronics is the Ram automatically cuts...

    Compressed Natural Gas and diesel dual fuel system.

    Crap... I tried to edit and lost it all!! The CNG blends in. As it comes in you just use less throttle. Some diesel is always required to light off the CNG. It burns dry, but it is blended about 50/50 so you always have some diesel in there. This regulator allows the CNG to be off at idle...

    Gear Vendor OD troubleshooting

    Sounds like you got a great deal!! If you look at the picture above- my OD had a worn out clutch (part 61). As luck would have it I found a good used one on Craigslist for less than I could buy the parts. A year or so later I had it repaired and sold it.

    2014 Ram 1500 Diesel

    Well it is mated to an 8 speed transmission and they are shooting for 30MPG with same set-up in a Grand Cherokee. Maybe the truck could get 24-27???? Dunno. I have a hunch it may be a big flop... especially if the VM Motori V6 uses a timing belt.

    Are you going to run hydroboost brakes Jon? They might take some of the pressure off the steering...?? I remember reading about another DT466 conversion where the guy was extremely happy with his one finger power steering!

    DT466 realities...

    Sadly no. Old man winter is beating this down. My garage just isn't big enough for a truck and its been too cold to do more than daydream. Spending all my money driving south to race motorcycles this time of year. :sly I was going to run the pump with an adjustable pressure regulator that...

    Rust Proofing YES!

    Cole has it right. Nothing beats a good two part epoxy primer. I have the running boards for my '57 sitting out in the weather for 3 years now. They were epoxy primered and then painted black. I left them out on purpose to see how they weathered. They have been on the ground, half buried...

    460 overheated slightly- now new noise and runs rough.

    Really really sucks... The truck is parked now. I came to the realization that I am not a mechanic anymore; I need to concentrate on my work and it would be nice to take a family vacation that didn't include being under a hood or getting greasy just to make it home so I broke down and bought a...

    Yeah, we are lucky in that regard. Fuel is readily available along most of the I-15 corridor from Idaho border to Vegas.

    Webshots/Tech article ALERT!

    Smugmug did this to me a few years ago. Sucked major balls, cause my computer had crashed so they had the only copies of a bunch of family memories. Lesson learned and now run a backup external hard drive that mirrors certain files and updates nightly.

    CNG Injection

    There is a reason for that. The EPA and CARB want every kit certified for every possible combination. Each test comes at considerable expense. Its all fairly wasteful considering that CNG drops emissions across the board on every application. Manufacturers and resellers of kits must concentrate...

    CNG Injection

    I picked up a tank tonight... dang thing is still full of fuel. Came out of a Suburban with a bad transmission that the owner decided to part out. $350 with the manual valve PRD and brackets. Expires 11/2015. I'm going to need to have the brackets sandblasted and get them painted though. Excited...
