After being on the site for some time I have realized being able to refer someone to a document about common issues and common fixes with IDI's such as
Starting issues - Electrical
Starting issues - Fuel
VRV testing and adjusting
IP timing
How to use a Kent Moore or Tac&Time timing tool
How to test the glow plug system
Common coolant leaks or over heating heating issues
How to hook up a tranny cooler
ETC, ETC, ETC
I think it would be very helpful and bennificial to the Oilburners.net community. VS having to retype over and over the same instructions. (Or worse leaving out a key part/instructions on accident.) Often only some of the causes of a symptom are discussed in a thread, leaving that member with only part of what they needed to really know to fix the issue at first glance. Often best practices do not get discussed in all threads. (Like only use Motorcraft thermostats, or SCI coolants.) Some members have to wait for days for the right reply to get posted. There is so much experience amongst this community I feel it is a good time to create some diagnose and repair documents on common issues to help members fix their vehicles.
I looked around but I did not see a place for that. I would be willing to prepare some of these documents, run a thread to get input on what can be added, revise, then post so we can have a collective and comprehensive document on what to do in common incidents.
