    Dreaded ATS OEM Turbo Up-pipe slip joint leak has killed my boost 2022 edition.

    On my last camping trip I was loaded up with the cabover and had our enclosed car hauler trailer filled with toys and gear. Truck seemed to be running ok until I started up the first of a series of canyon passes. Up the first canyon I was only seeing about 4.5psi of boost where I normally get...

    1994 IDIT timing w/J33300 issue

    Truck is '94 F-350. I'm using the Kent Moore J33300 that I've had for 10+ years, but I haven't used it for a long time. Timing light is an ESI that does not have any advance dials. Just straight up zero. Using a fuel line ferret on #1 cylinder. I marked the dampener and the sight with white...

    Intercooler heavy duty testing run.

    I posted a while back in the what did you do with your truck today thread about installing my intercooler. Also added some gauges to watch my temps. This screen shot was from a video I made pulling some hills right after the install. Figured out I had a small boost leak and fixed it up. We...

    Altitude affecting Turbo IDIT causing smoke?

    I picked up a '94 IDIT last week. Bone stock. The altitude where I did my test drive was 157' asl. Could not make it smoke. Drove it home 870 miles with a big grin on my face. Averaged 15.7 mpg, which isn't too bad considering the bed was loaded and the speed was 80-82mph for most of the trip...

    SAE #3 adapter, flywheel/flexplate questions

    I'm not much on medium duty automatics. I've pulled apart and fixed a few handshakers, but never an automatic. Does anyone here have pictures of what the flywheel/flexplate adapter for an IDI to auto looks like? I can find the housing adapter on Ebay, but not really seeing anything for the...

    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...

    460 overheated slightly- now new noise and runs rough.

    1994 F-250 460/E4OD Pulling a 5er over a high pass last weekend I looked down and saw that my temp gauge was seriously past the 'normal' and heading for the red. The next pull out was at the top of the hill so I had to make it there as traffic was heavy and there are no safe places to stop...

    Ran across a beautiful old IH today...

    A local IH dealer has this beauty on their show room floor: The wood bed was extremely well done so I took a few reference shots for my '57 if I decide to go with a stake bed. I have the original wood and steel IH flat bed, but none of the mounting hardware...

    DT466 realities...

    I need some good feed back from some of you who's opinions I have learned to trust. :hail I need to make a decision before Thursday night. I've been offered a DT466 mated to a 5 speed for $1K. It was in a "cab-over" farm truck that was wrecked on the drivers side. Claims it only had 70K miles...

    One ARP head bolt kit 154-3603. Never opened; box still has factory seal on it. Labeled "SB Ford 351 Windsor head bolt kit" $50 includes shipping to the lower 48. Just thought I would offer this up here first as I know some of you guys have more than diesels you work on. Don't you wish...

    Question for the 12V gurus...

    What are the downsides to buying a motor that has been stripped of the p-pump and made into a VE? The block is a '95. I vaguely remember hearing that the piston bowls were different and the injector spray pattern was specific to the piston design. How big of a deal is this? I was looking...

    Fair price for a P-pump Cummins bolted to NV4500??

    Ok, guys I need your input here. I know a guy with a 1995 P-pumped 12 valve hooked to a NV4500. It has 217K miles on it. The combo runs good, has a fuel plate, but is otherwise all stock. He has asked me to make him an offer. It also includes the intercooler and a few other parts that I...

    Who can identify this inline pump?

    Can anyone here ID this pump? At first I thought it was an MW, but it doesn't look like the MW pics I can find online. It is on a 1988 DT360.

    Calculating compression ratio of an IDI

    Just like the title says. How does one go about getting an accurate number? I am guessing that the pre-injection cup volume + the volume of the chambers + the volume of the swirl chambers on the piston are all necessary to determine static compression. (in addition to bore, stroke and piston...

    Scored a brownie!

    Picked up a 4 speed brownie... thing is massive, but I think its doable. The plan is to do a body lift for turbo clearance, so that should also help by allowing me to mount the brownie higher in the frame. Has great ratios for my truck: 8341-C 2.40,1.28,1.00,.84 With my 3.55 rear axle it...

    A few 6.9l teardown surprises...

    Some pleasant, some...not so much. I found this really odd and still can't figure out what caused it. Pulled the thermostat housing off to find a basically destroyed stat!! The thermostat has never worked since I bought the truck... I had assumed it was left out and planned to...

    Need lessons on how to talk 'machine shop'.

    I blew a head gasket today cresting Parley's Summit. I was pushing it waaay to hard for stock head bolts and my luck finally gave out. Glad it happened today and not on a trip with the whole family. I already have a set of 6.9l ARP head studs and a VR headset. The motor will need to come out...
