    Best time of year to buy Banks Sidewinder turbo kit

    They were on sale recently, like 34 for the kit+exhaust Yet who knows right? I just ordered a moose and couldn't help notice the ip was discounted the same amount of the injectors set. Clever marketing.

    New glow plug harness too short, relocate controller?

    I got it swapped out. Vendor was pretty chill, I'd recommend. I reached out to them for some q's, still waiting so can't hurt to ask here The new harness has a few wires coming off it. they don't exactly match the connections on my motor. I know I need to make sure the glow plugs don't stay...

    New glow plug harness too short, relocate controller?

    Howdy Burners, I had some time to get out and work on the truck. Got the old stuck glow plugs out, tightened in some zd9, and went to put the new harness on. just my luck It's too short. So wondering what the consensus is on what to do next, relocate controller or?

    I think i done burned up the starter

    Tbh I just told the fella at Napa its an 86 6.9 and he said you need these I said cool. Well my fellow gentlemen, Not sure to make a new thread for this. Truck won't start without ether now, and it seriously has a lack of oomph. Constant white smoke out the exhaust and a ton of it during...

    possible the timing was adjusted as the ip aged. I'll check all the basics first

    I agree. filter is full, the hard lines leaked at the injector. this one got me good I guess if I can't figure it out I'll do a zf swap :)

    I think i done burned up the starter

    Thanks, I'll try that tomorrow. I did end up pulling the trigger on a 9050, I think I toasted the old one. At least it's worth eliminating this from the issue.

    I think i done burned up the starter

    Ok I got an hour or so to check on this. I'm sorry, but I'm very much electrically challenged, the entire concept is one I have always struggled with. Which wire gets removed? 1, 2, 3? Thanks, I charged both Batts overnight so I'm hoping to nail this out

    I think i done burned up the starter

    I located the correct solenoid, the terminals are on opposite sides, use a wire or? Only ever jumped a solenoid on a b3000 and that was flathead across both terminals on top. Appreciate the patience to all assisting, I only get about 40 minutes a day to tinker if I'm lucky. I am gonna...
