    turbo function question, no output...

    Hey guys! Thanks for the help and advise. I built a Turbo master ad while I haven't been able to get out and test it like I would like, should it not even push air out the outlet port on the turbo, while I had the top intake off, I could put my hand in front of the outlet, vary the RPMs and feel...

    turbo function question, no output...

    That makes sense and before I do anything like replacing it or such Ill finish my exhaust and drive it, but Im pretty sure it needs a rebuild as I have oil in the intake on the output side so Im sure some seals are toast

    turbo function question, no output...

    No, I have not driven it yet, I have to get the exhaust finished. The boost gauge is hooked up to one of the ports on top of the top portion of the intake where one of the computer sensors was originally. As I mentioned, I removed the uper intake to get a feel for what the turbo was pussting out...

    I have been working over the winter getting the turbo installed on my newly rebuilt 6.5l. I had been running it N/A as I ran out of time with the cold and funds last fall to complete the turbo install. This last week, i got it finished and one of the first things I did after checking for leaks...

    I have been piddling with the 6.5l I installed in my M1008 for a while now, last fall, I got it installed and running but being as I dont have a sheltered place to work winter as well as lack of funds stopped me from installing the turbo, So I just went N/A. Since it has gotten warmer, I have...

    loose pre cup in redecked head. Is this a problem?

    While having some issues with a damaged precup recently, one of the manuals, I can't recall which one allows for 0.002" protrusion above the deck surface and zero below. I am am guessing that the protrusion is 1 all the distance even a "crushed" fire ring will seal and 2. anything more than this...

    Noises from the bellhousing area?

    Using the longer bolts and just sliding the tranny back works great, I've done it a cpl of times. If you dont have a smooth surface to slide the jack on, lay down a piece of plywood or such first to slide the jack on.

    M1010 weird hum & vibration from motor

    When you pull the bell housing, check for loose/missing bolts at the crank and between the flex plate and torque converter. If you havent had it off or worked on it I dont see how the flex plate could be bent but maybe before you put the inspection cover back on, look under the truck with it...

    Valve/piston "kiss"

    Hello all, thanks again for your thoughts and suggestions. I don't believe it is a timing chain issue as the whole set, chain and gears are brand new...or were last year when I rebuilt the motor. The motor has not been sitting and I checked all of the valves for being bent and they are all as...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    In your first image of the shakle, the mount for it looks adjustable, is this something you fabed up or is it a mount designed to allow different spring lengths or something like that? If it is something you created, what is the thought behind it? Thanks, Greg

    Valve/piston "kiss"

    Ue413, I have gone over, in my mind, the things you had mentioned. The heads are as purchased from SS diesel, other than replacing the precup, they have not been touched, though as I mentioned in my OP, they were decked to the absolute max, there is nothing left to be reworked. I checked...
