Has manual glow plugs. IP doesn't click if i remove the little top terminal like it used to... no blown fuses. Am...

    Prosport gauges?

    Anyone have any experience with prosport gauges?? I like the LED lighting and the auto self calibration the gauges go through. I also really like the autometer Nexus series that have the whole gauge flash red when a set warning point is reached (i.e. 1,250* or 15lbs boost or 210* etc). BUT to...

    so i don't need to take apart the front end?? Jusr shroud and unbolt the fan? Is there an easy way to remove the clutch and fan as a whole? Last time i tried the special wrench spun the pulley with the belt on... does the dampner just slide off then i just pop out the seal?? While i'm in there...

    Fixing front crank seal?

    Is that a typical leaking point? I can look up and it looks like it is starting from where the vibration dampner is mounted. Is the job really difficult overall if i leave on the front cover?? I need a new bumper so taking the old one off eventually is going to happen. To replace the crank seal...

    Fixing front crank seal?

    I just have filled the oil up 2 qts because of a loud ticking noise it makes when the oil gets low about 2 weeks ago or so. I just today had the noise come back and ended up having to fill up the oil up about a gallon. I waited 10 min on level ground for all the oil to return. I leak about a...

    No wastegate..turned up fuel...

    Well I was tired of being so slow on hills so today I turned the pump up 4 turns on the allen wrench screw, and disconnected the wastegate just to see 'what she would do.' Just wondering... WOW. Smoked pitch black smoke the didn't clear up with boost and she hauled big time... Part throttle the...

    inst. panel LED warning.

    I should have specified...i may do the leds for the warning lamps, not ones that dim. The illumination will be the bulbs. I just can't see the darn wrning lights when they come on, which usually isn't too often... good thing. But since the dinger doesn't come on when something is wrong, it is...

    Loud tick and odd intake noise

    I was going to work this morning and noticed a really obnoxious LOUD tick. Even when accelerating I could hear it over the diesel clatter... and when slowing down in gear, well, it was embarrasing to say the least...Checked all fluids, the oil ended up being a bit low, topped it off and the...

    inst. panel LED warning.

    Wow those are some expensive LEDS... i think i may stay with the ones i have... I'll see what i can do to wire them up w/o frying... I may buy one of those fancy ones and see if there is a big difference...but right now the truck has bigger issues... Curious how the LEDS i have now will fare...

    inst. panel LED warning.

    for some reason, my blue hi beam indicator light is really dim... cookoo want to trade clusters? just kidding. I am changing to LEDS because i can barely see the lights during the night, and during the day, well, only if it it overcast... i will keep that in mind though...thanks!

    tried the white bottle p/s and didn't notice any difference, smoke looked brown-er. I am currently using the ford stuff.... cetane booster. No difference there either. Using it just for lubrication since the EPA took the lubrication properties of diesel and took them away...:mad:

    65hp

    i noticed random clouds of gray smoke without warning. I will be driving along and a gray cloud will just start to follow me.... And if i am running at high rpms then go to shift...the time between gear changing the motor leaves a trail of gray smoke.... sounds like ip and injector time ?

    inst. panel LED warning.

    I should have been more clear...i am modifying the stock bulb holder to fit super bright fat LEDS that run at 2.5V and 20mA. They have a 5000mcd intensity... pretty darn bright. just needing to find out what the original bulbs were receiving so i can tone them down a bit to work an LED without...

    It has a pyro...with the less smoke tuned pump, it runs at 800* losing a lot of speed on an 8% down to around 40 and dropping by the top... i got it to 850* but it was on the floor and i had to let up... I don't mind a little smoke, but to go anywhere faster than i do now, it likes to leave a...

    Anyone know what current and volts the little lights in the instrument cluster get?? The turn signal and 4x4 and battery etc lights? Trying to replace them with homemade LEDS because i can't see them in the day at all... Multimeter is a Piece of junk and the local store is closed for a new...
