    turbo build parts p##n

    All I'm going to say is, I've seen Justin's work and it's really high quality stuff. I know you wouldn't be disappointed with it.

    Where to buy ip.

    He's an honest guy and his pumps are cheap. I had problems with his pumps but he always stood behind his work. A lot of it could have been because I didn't know what I was doing yet when I used his pumps, and had my timing severely out of whack. My final pump from him was pretty decent and...

    Where to buy ip.

    Hey Chris, if I remember right, Ken only charges more for the 6.9 style pumps. Call him and be persistent. Just so you know what you are paying for, the main difference between a stock pump and a DPS pump is that the timing and fueling curves are shifted so that the pump pulls hard all the way...

    mt 480

    Not too bad to use as long as the magnetic probe and luminosity probe work. There is some disagreement between people here on where luminosity timing should be set. I used to confidently state that with today's fuel, timing ought to be between 0*ATDC and 2* ATDC @1400 rpm, but a couple other...

    Where to buy ip.

    Hey Chris, since you have a turbo, the best pump for you would be DPS turbo cal or a Moose Pump from Agnem. If you can't swing those look for your local, authorized stanadyne shop. Be careful about the like core for like core thing. Speaking of cores, if you need one, one of us can probably...

    Dead Glow Plug Observation

    Ray, good to see you here. It sounds like Agnem and others' concerns about you were justified however. Back OT. I have noticed the same thing with my glow plugs when they've failed. Mine lasted a bit longer than 2 years though with the same system as you. I still have 1 or 2 originals from...

    NMB2 dyno

    Yeah, also some people are just really good at finding the deals, it's a gift, I guess. I know a guy like that. I'm sure it's a matter of having cash on hand and looking in the right places. It's going to be pretty unlikely to find the Keith Black Silv-o-lite pistons as cheap as he did and...

    NMB2 dyno

    In that regard you're absolutely correct rjjp. This would cost someone with less stellar fabrication skills a lot more, and getting the fuel you need for this setup is not easy either. NMB2 and a couple of others have gone with DPS and Ken's version of a DB4 in a DB2 shell. I really haven't...

    IDI Diesel Bronco in Denver

    Sweet looking truck and almost cheap. The only reason I don't have a fullsize bronco is because of the lack of a diesel engine from the factory.

    NMB2 dyno

    I can speak for myself that I wanted to share the info with the folks over here who are die-hard OB guys. It's good to have the conventional wisdom questioned. Even if the questioner is wrong, it makes the body of what we know as a collective that much stronger, and who really wants to hang on...

    NMB2 dyno

    You have it backwards. He had a torque number that appears to be true and accurate, but since there was no RPM pickup one of the parameters from the HP equation was missing. The result is that true HP could only be estimated. The estimate was too high, but I believe it was an honest mistake...

    NMB2 dyno

    Yeah, I'd rather you didn't kick him in this thread. That original black truck dyno was some guestimation because that particular dyno did not have a true RPM pickup as this dyno had. Justin has changed his tune on the dynojet a little bit. Lets forget about that s***storm that happened with...

    More issues...

    Chris I agree with what Jim says. It's that crossover return, where it plugs into the main return back to the tank, or at least that has ha[[ened to me 2 or 3 times after "surgery" on the truck. It makes a leak that can be observed "peeing" as you say. A weep hole IP leak is more of a drip...

    Mystery water coming from exhaust

    Honestly I don't know man. The fact that it's plain water seems to argue against a HG or cavitation problem.

    More Progress on the 6.9 Rebuild!

    So they do a chromoly coat on the skirts as well? Anything in WI is good for me, as I have lots of friends up there. An excuse could be made to go see the place in person if need be. $240 for all 8 pistons wouldn't be too bad. Heath, the IC sounds like a really good upgrade even for a mildly...

    Advance Auto Radiator Cracked Again

    I'm liking the Aluminium radiator from Autozone in my 86. It is heavy stamped aluminium. It's all metal, not plastic tanks. $320 or so after tax. I had a tough time with the Modine radiators, 1 cracked under warranty at the top weld, my last one cracked last summer at the same place, but it...

    Getting my spare pump rebuilt. Who to go with?

    It probably isn't that big of a deal if it doesn't work, but it will run rough on cold startups. You can check it once it's installed, it's very easy with a timing meter, I don't know what 12V to it on a bench would do, I suppose that solenoid would be activated, but not sure how you would tell...

    exhaust video

    Jim, what I notice about the exhaust there is that there seems to be a puff of smoke out of it, to the tune of one particular cylinder. It doesn't sound bad under the hood but back by the pipe, that would make me nervous.

    C6/overdrive-Plan B

    You used to could get 3.08s for a 10.25, but from what I hear, those gears have become hard to find new.

    how much boost

    HX35 and a remote mount? Well that is a whole different story. You just have to map the compressor and see how 20 PSI looks on it's map with an IDI. I find them a bit confusing so far. I have no doubt you'd be ok at 20 though. Like I say, the studsm gaskets and hard parts will take it...

    Another reason for disliking the IDI

    Maybe lot of these people that hate IDIs have never seen a good one. When I was looking for mine, I ran across dozens of POS trucks that would barely start and were really overpriced. I took a huge leap of faith and bought one from a member here that I didn't even know that well, but I had...

    how much boost

    NMB2 ran his first build up close to 20. The studs will hold it if you did it right, but if it is a big 3 kit turbo, then icanfixall is right, the compressor will be marginal or completely inefficient above 12-13 psi without an IC or water injection.

    Getting my spare pump rebuilt. Who to go with?

    I don't know much about either of these guys. I haven't heard anything bad about either business so you'd probably be ok. I don't know if Diesel Logic does the pumps for Uhaul as well, but they did the 6.9/7.3 injector remans for them. I'm biased to either a local stock-ish rebuild or an all...

    5 speed swap and took it for a drive now!!!

    Yes please or you might die.... Even if the jumping the fender mount solenoid doesn't work, it could still be the starter mount solenoid. I replaced one of those 2 weeks ago. It could also be that you have a loose connection on your starter. After all you had to have all that crap out to work...

    Update for those following the NMB2 build

    One more video.... this 35 psi gauge is pegged and then some. Nope, it didn't blow up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUbUv-Pq_Rs&feature=youtu.be
