Turbo Desirous
Gotta at least give it credit, it still starts, runs, and drives. I'm dreading removing the SPs, and I think I'm gonna wait until I rebuild it if I can at all help it...

Well today I just opened the doors to take out my box of rubber gloves but thats all my rig has done in a few days.. Sad isn't it. you would think I live in the salt belt and never drive during the salty season... Gees...

Plugs will be easy.
Today I finally aired up my tires.
Had a dual that was basically flat.
Back to a rough/bumpy (roumpy?)

I did a wee battery swap..
The old wee battery is on the right.. the new.. not so wee battery is on the left..
And here they are installed and working fine. I still need to tie down properly, but the truck has no plans of doing anything until thats done.
I am now one of them group 31'ers. The batteries almost literally bolted right in. 1900CCA man (between the two of them) and they might just endure the task of being the camping stereo a little better as well.

Swapped in a set of BB code injectors from Russ (typ4)....took a couple hours. Fired right up, runs much smoother a quieter. Almost can't hear it in the cab while its idling, that's a first since I've owned it. Is this what an IDI is supposed to sound like?

You may need to advance the timing a bit. Should be quiet at idle when warm but cackle like an old 7.3 PSD on cold high idle.

Something VERY different. I dropped my truck off at the local garage for new brakes all the way around, new rear axle yoke, king pins, front 4wd issues, oil change and a few oil leaks to address. A new job that keeps me really busy is forcing a new way of life. I want my truck to enjoy when I'm off, not something I have to work on endlessly.
Last night I lay out in the snow bank replacing a faulty tank switch valve. Now I am fortunate enough to have the engine start and have a working gauge, YAY!
I even replaced the stock fuel filter for good measure.

It's a bit chilly today here at -52 but the tired old 6.9 fired right up for a trip into the city for a few things. That circulating block heater sure makes cold weather starts nice!
Started cold this morning at about 25 degrees, fired right up and ran smoother than in the past. No rattle/cackle/fuel knock on cold advance. Will have to check the timing soon. Prior to the Injector change I was right at 8.5°
Today I was able to finally fab some mounting brackets for my swap meet find rear bumper. Bolts into the factory holes.
Next up 2.5" rear block kit and Pro-Comp ladder bars.
