    DT466E trouble

    Does anyone have any idea why a Dt466E would not be firing up. I have replaced IDM and had the injectors done by a proven shop. The truck ran great for about 2 months then it was parked and not used for 4 or 5 months. Now it will not fire up and will only blow white smoke when trying to start. I...

    Fuel filter bracket

    Thank you all for your responses, I knew it was standard bolt but I’ve never seen the bolt. I wish I had it but it vibrated out and got lost. I just wanted to see if anyone knew the size off the top of their head before I bought a bunch to try to fit one. I will report back as soon as I try it.

    Fuel filter bracket

    Does anybody know the size of the bolt that connects to the block from the fuel filter head on a ‘94 turbo? There is the main bracket that has two then there is a support arm that attaches near the front injector on the passenger side of the truck. Mine has gotten lost and I was wondering if...

    Mechanical fuel pump install

    I hate trying to take all that out, trying to get it done quick. Had I of had more time I’d of taken fender well out. I try to stay away from doing things like that cause usually I’m in a hurry and the more stuff I take apart the more might break. Then I’m the next morning trying to get parts.

    Mechanical fuel pump install

    I had to do one on my 93 and finally cut some of the fender well out. Which I still have the extra piece that goes in behind the shock. Just a thought, it makes that back bolt so much easier to get to and really it makes everything easier. I wish I’d of done it before I laid on my back for an...

    Mechanical V. Electric Fuel Pump

    I’m not opposed to electric pumps, I know they work wonders but, I never have trusted swapping over. My reasoning has always been that the beauty in these engines is the few electronics they have. I had to do a lift pump on mine, did it need it? Well that’s a different story but the old one...

    Issues with starting

    Maybe my thinking isn’t good but it makes a little sense to me, anyone have anything?

    Issues with starting

    Which maybe this isn’t anything but I’m noticing the turbo isn’t as responsive at the 1500-2000 range, whereas before this truck would always spool about 1200 and be wound up ready to go into the 2000 range. This is making me think I’m still too advanced. I am also getting a good little bit of...

    That’s what I’m leaning towards, it’s a factory turbo if that helps any, I may retard the timing just a touch.

    Issues with starting

    Alright, I’m not sure what to do, I’ll get her timed and until she quits starting run it. Not much else to do, she’s a tough old girl. The injection pump was going out for 5 years, went 2 years without brakes, went a winter without glow plugs, hauled 80% of the miles on her, and now she’s...

    Issues with starting

    What gets me is the starter will crank and crank and crank then all of the sudden in one hit it’s started

    Issues with starting

    No I did not, didn’t want to make that mistake, I absolutely hate to think it’s that injection pump, maybe it is air intrusion I just could not see air intrusion being a problem warm but not cold

    Issues with starting

    I’m not sure if this will help any but even when you shut the truck off after getting it hot it’s taking 3-4 cranks to get it to start back up, timing advanced? I really don’t understand I never had a problem with the old IP and I mean it was shot

    Issues with starting

    Well, update, still hard to start hot I’m not sure what it could be, the injectors are less than 2-3 years old, the IP is brand new, maybe I need to retard it more I don’t know I’m at a loss

    I believe I tracked it down, I retarded the timing to where I had it in the first place and put the starter in, seems to be better, hope this will help it I’ll keep y’all updated

    Thanks buddy, I will retard it here later when I have time and report back. I am still going to do the starter just incase.

    Issues with starting

    I’ll tinker with timing after I do starter if the starter don’t fix it. I’d like to have one of them timin lights but I ain’t got the time to wait on it to be delivered, everyday the truck is down is money out of pocket, besides everyone round here just times em by ear and goes on. From bull...

    Issues with starting

    I advanced it a touch and it did not change anything, maybe retard it a little? I will also add that I have very minimal black smoke pulling.

    My starter has a lifetime warranty so I believe I will try that first, if not I’ll just have to play with the timing

    Issues with starting

    I ended up having to set the timing by ear, I have slightly retarded and advanced the timing with no change. The pump is a R&D pump

    Issues with starting

    Also, when it’s hot I also notice a touch of starter whine when the engine finally takes off. It also seems to me like if you shut it down and start it back immediately it has a drag getting going then, I was thinking the starter but it’s “fairly” new which after a season of winter starts with...

    Issues with starting

    Hello everybody I’m having some trouble. Set in the other night and decided to do the injection pump, (she runs like a top now.) Now I’m having a problem of when the truck is warm it will not fire back up easily, but it will finally cough some black smoke and roar to life. Does anyone know of...
