    So if the HP oil lines in the head for triggering the injectors were no longer used there would still be a problem keeping oil out of the water. Thanks for the heads up. I still have to get my hands in the motor I have to dummy up on.

    Sheeesh!! I was just asking a few simple questions. I didn't realize that this was going to get this kind of reaction, I do know one thing for certain, there are a lot of things I do not know. And there are a few thing I do, But when I ask for help with the things I don't know about I get...

    I do maintain it. It's just tired. It has 397K on the clicker and they were HARD miles from the looks of the things. The PO used it for a hotshot hauler. As for learning how to work on it, that is another thing. I don't want to HAVE to work on it all the time. A scanner to do contribution...

    :rotflmao:rotflmao:rotflmao:rotflmao I have never had a truck or any other vehicle that I couldn't reasonably work on. My old truck was a non turbo IDI that got 17 mpg all the time. This one gets 12 on a good day. If I tow with it, 8. If a pump went out on the side of the road with the...

    Hey all, I have been lurking around the web and found where people have put a mechanical pumps on a PS and made good power. (JUST TO MAKE IT CLEAR). I am not looking to make a pulling truck or a dyno monster! Just a good reliable truck without all the electronics. I just replaced the...

    Smoke But No Fire

    Perhaps the starter is not twisting it over fast enough? I had that happen to me before.

    Help I NEED a PCM

    I did replace the injectors on 3 and 5, I was unsure of the quality of the parts when I got them since they were from a salvage yard. I will get the #5 replaced and see what that does.

    Help I NEED a PCM

    When I put the injectors in #3 & #5 I was kinda hoping that they would work. I plan on getting a complete set later. But for now I just need to get the stumble out. What did you say about the PCM fuse?

    Help I NEED a PCM

    I have a Snap On Brick. It goes up to 1998 domestic. I did run a buzz test and it gave another something but I didn't understand what it was. I believe this is what it was. "0275 PCED Cylinder 5 contribution/balance fault Cylinder not contributing during CCT test Power cylinder, valve train...

    Help I NEED a PCM

    I got my project up and on the road but it has quite a stumble in it. It is most apparent after it gets warm. It acts as if the IDM is being shut off momentarily and in high gear it is pretty rough. I had my neighbor's scanner and pulled a 603 code while it was running. "0603 PCED...

    Wow! It works

    Hey all, Just a Pic to show off all the hours of detailing to the interior of my project. I have discovered a product that works really good. It's called Super Protectant by Turtle Wax Co. I normally don't plug stuff but for trucks such as this I was impressed by just how well it worked. The...

    #2 Relay is clicking fast.

    Correction, I didn't tighten the ground post enough on the rad. support beside the drivers side battery. The relay was getting enough power to click but not enough to stay lit. Just a FYI for the next guy.

    #2 Relay is clicking fast.

    FOUND IT!!! Loose connection in a bundle of wires coming out of the relay box going to the PCM. Well NOW I can put the front end back on.:thumbsup:

    #2 Relay is clicking fast.

    Like the title says my relay is clicking rapidly. I am trying to get the truck to start consistently BUT, No luck. I have noticed that when it isn't making noise it will run. If you put the ignition to the run position it more times than not does it. Thanks in advance

    stock pipe off turbo was told better than 3inch round?

    Well first off, Welcome to Oilburners. I was under my truck today and was thinking "Boy I gotta change this thing.":D IMHO, I would remove the "Squish" pipe. Because the air coming out of the turbo is quite turbulent as it is. Then to try to force it down the only makes the flow that much...

    Just a lil' gloating

    Any Ideas?? Well, I got the trans pulled and found out where the oil was coming from. Yup it was my fault.:backoff When I was putting the pan back on I must have bumped the silicone bead in the rear. It was Juuuuussst enough to make it leak. *Note to self* DON'T DO THAT AGAIN!!:puke...

    Just a lil' gloating

    Typically, I do. But you know how things go when you get down on funds.:dunno Right now I'm gonna concentrate on getting the interior clean. And take time to repack the front wheel bearings. I did however get rid of the piece of crumbly plastic the factory uses for the pickup screen when I...

    I have yet to acquire an upper air filter housing and I live on a lime rock road so the brick it is.

    Just a lil' gloating

    Thanks, that would make sense. I still havn't gotten it on the road, would that be the reason it is a little grumpy to get starte d , still a little air in the rails?

    Just a lil' gloating

    Yup, When I got the truck the RH valve cover was off and two injectors were missing. I replaced them and put the new seals on. But the large pink seal looked kinda poorly made. I hope it won't be a problem.

    pulley

    If you are handy with a welder (MIG) that is the most effective way to get broken bolts out. I have just had to do it on my turbo housing Y pipe and the exhaust manifold. It is pretty simple. If the bolt is rusty, take a dremel or equivalent and clean the rust and dirt off. Then with a MIG...
