Do you by chance have any photos of how you have the CDR hose connected to the intake? I barely have any space between the front of the turbo and the batteries. I already bought new smaller batteries and have them less than half an inch from the inside of the front clip, but there still don't...
Well, today I discovered the oil dipstick tube hits the 6.5 driver side manifold.
I massaged it into a sort of S shape so it will fit between the manifold and frame, but now the dipstick wipes against the tube on both sides and makes it impossible to read the oil level... Anyone have...
Thanks, that's very helpful.
I see you have the 6.5 turbo CDR instead of the original CUCV one. Do you know if there is a performance difference, or was it just easier to fit the 6.5 version?
I was looking at the S&B intake. Not cheap, but very easy and I'm tired of working on this project...
Any chance you could share a picture of how it fits? They don't publish dimensions for the air box, and I have a lot of AC hoses and wiring on that side of the motor
I got the engine started up tonight and it seems to run well with the minimal timing advance from my last photo. I ran it for a couple minutes with the intake off and did not notice any leaks, so I installed the intake and turbo plumbing.
I have another mostly unrelated question, but it...
I bought it from Badger Diesel on the recommendation of a few members here. He was easy to deal with on the phone (a bit gruff, sort of reminded me of myself haha), and was up front about having a large backlog of parts ahead of me in his queue.
I got the pump delivered about 3 weeks ago after...
I installed the new pump advanced by the width of the reference line. It was significantly advanced before and ran well, so hopefully this is a good compromise with the new pump. I'm sure I'll have to adjust it, but I'm just looking for a good baseline to get up and running. Photos of the new...
Sounds good, thanks. I was thinking a stretched chain would retard the cam and IP timing, so maybe someone was trying to bump the IP back to where it should be relative to the crank. Of course the valve timing would still be off in this scenario, but a timing set is more work than bumping the...
I'm replacing the injection pump on my m1009 and after cleaning off all the grease I noticed the timing mark was significantly advanced, about 0.100"
Why would the previous owner have advanced the pump like this? To compensate for a worn timing chain? The truck ran fine but the IP was leaking...
