    Timing Probe Fitment Problem

    I wanted to post an update to this thread and close it out. To recap, I had ordered a Tech Time diesel timing meter off of eBay and had a lot of trouble getting it to read my RPM correctly. I eventually requested a replacement from the seller and got the new unit to read correctly immediately...

    Timing Probe Fitment Problem

    So a little update on my timing problem. I requested a replacement from the seller and he sent it out no problem. I got to try it out today and the original RPM issue is gone. Definitely a defective transducer or meter. However, I actually got to start timing my truck and I have yet to get...

    Glow plugs not clicking

    My glowplugs click sometimes after the light, sometimes they don’t. I guess it’s temperature related but it always starts so I haven’t really checked into it. I don’t know hold cold we are talking in Colorado but I can start my truck with one cycle of the plugs with temperatures down in the...

    Timing Probe Fitment Problem

    Sadly I moved the ground around more times than I can count. I think I’ll have to contact the seller and see about starting a return. I’m curious if the other fellow in this thread that had similar problems ever got his going.

    Timing Probe Fitment Problem

    So I have tried every comment in this thread. The line is as clean as I can get it and I have moved the clamp around countless time. I’ve tried it right next to the injector and back closer to the pump. I’m beginning to think I received a bad transducer or meter. I wish I could test it. I still...

    Timing Probe Fitment Problem

    I will play the position on the line some more and see. My main focus is the transducer because it is my understanding that that should be independent of the probe. This is a quick video of my setup.

    Timing Probe Fitment Problem

    Yes I’ve watched the video several times. I thought it was pretty helpful. However my problem is with the transducer not reading the RPMs properly. It’s cleaned to the steel, and the ground it’s hooked directly to my battery negative with a jumper. Anything above idle makes the meter go crazy...

    Timing Probe Fitment Problem

    I believe mine was NIB as well. Okay, I will try some WD-40 on the sanded area. The RPM readout should be completely independent of the probe or the harmonic balancer correct? Also did you have an opportunity to check the picture I posted a few posts back? Just want to make sure I have the...

    Timing Probe Fitment Problem

    Did you happen to get your meter off of eBay? And I did have the meter set to probe. I did change the dial to every position at one point or another just messing with it.

    Timing Probe Fitment Problem

    So I’m still struggling with this timing meter. I got the truck hooked up today and after doing a lot of reading I knew what things to look for. I had the #1 injector line very clean, and the ground clamp hooked directly to the negative battery terminal with a jumper. However, I still couldn’t...

    Timing Probe Fitment Problem

    Okay I will take a look at that. What’s your YouTube channel name? So without the spring were you at all concerned with the probe working its way down the tube while the truck was running? Hitting the balancer essentially

    Timing Probe Fitment Problem

    Did you drill it out still on the truck? If so what was your setup? My alternator bracket looks like it would make it impossible to get in there with even a right angle drill.

    Timing Probe Fitment Problem

    So I’m assuming you haven’t had any problems with the balancer ruining the end of the probe with it shoved all the way down?

    Timing Probe Fitment Problem

    How do you keep the probe from sliding further down the port as the engine is running? Mine is snug but not that snug I don’t think

    Timing Probe Fitment Problem

    I may have used the wrong terminology, it’s this piece that puts tension in the port to keep the probe from sliding around inadvertently.

    Timing Probe Fitment Problem

    I just bought a DTI Tech Time 3300-s timing meter off eBay a couple weeks ago. I’ve read plenty of threads on this site and others saying that the probe has to be filed to fit or the bracket hole has to be opened up slightly. I went ahead and filed the probe slightly and it fits good in the hole...

    Batteries

    Rural King has great prices on group 31’s. Threaded terminal posts available as well. I’m on my second set, the first set made it about 4 years which is pretty normal but with the $100 price tag I can’t complain.

    IDI out of fuel

    Hi Registerrr, this a pretty old post from when I first bought my truck. The problem was not the lift pump at all as I recall. My tank selector valve assembly on the frame rail had a hairline crack on the housing and was letting air in. Best thing I ever did for this problem was put a 5-6” run...

    Banks Kit Question (1st Generation)

    I think I’ve found the picture. Wow, I wouldn’t have thought a company would want to produce several different kits. Oh well, looks like it may be more trouble than it’s worth.

    Banks Kit Question (1st Generation)

    I have the opportunity to buy a first gen banks turbo for a very good deal. I have done some searching and I’ve found a lot of good information on this turbo kit. This particular setup is on a 6.9L van with an automatic transmission (C6) and would be going onto my 7.3L manual transmission F250...

    Cheapest oil I have found

    I’ve used Harvest King brand at Rural King several times in the past couple years. I believe it’s $9 a gallon regularly, maybe $16 or so for a 2 gallon jug.

    Auxiliary Fuse Box

    Are those canisters only used for cruise control? I deleted my cruise control a while back and doubt I’ll ever put it back

    Auxiliary Fuse Box

    Was there any difference in changing the vacuum canister to the multiple smaller ones?

    Auxiliary Fuse Box

    How does your current setup attach to the truck? I don’t see the vacuum canister in that setup.

    Auxiliary Fuse Box

    Any chance you could snag a pic of the setup with the plastic removed? Don’t worry about it if it’s a lot of trouble.
