Thanks guys. Im proud of it so far. The IP hasnt even been turned up. I get a little bit of white smoke right now. Is that an issue ?

White smoke on cold start up is pretty normal. If youre smoking while driving you have problems. then it could be injectors, ip, headgaskets, cavitation, water in fuel etc. does the exhaust smell sweet like coolant?

I dont notice the smoke while im driving but it seems to be smoking while its sitting. After start up and when not in use but running. I havnt noticed anything other than a normal diesel exhaust smell. It has no problem starting, it barely turns over before it starts, there is no hesitation right now. I am pulling about 12K tomorrow so if there is an issue with it, ill find out.

I am going to do new coolant, I doubt the SCA's are right. Injectors will be replaced in a couple months along with new gaskets and head studs. Transmission is getting a B&M +2 quart pan, transpak, filter kit, and obviously new fluid, Glo plugs will be done when the tranny is in a few weeks, as well as 3.5" straight pipe and new wheels.

That is a clean rig!! sounds like your not wasting any time getting to the wrenching, best of luck and welcome. This site is where its at when your running an IDI.

Well ive been planning stuff out because i was about to buy another IDI so i pretty much already had an idea. But no, i cant leave anything stock for too long.

Well she pulled about 8500 great today. No issues other than being awesomely slow haha. I need to hurry up and get a tranny temp gauge though.

What can i do to upgrade my transfer case ??

 

[GOOSE]

I haven't heard of too many issues with the t cases. Twin sticking would be cool.

I want it stronger, i have an extra 1356 outside i can beef up and they swap them out.

How many points do the stock head bolts have, my truck has 12 point head bolts. Just wondering if they were stock.
