I just rebuilt my engine and figured it was out so I might as well replace the injection pump. I have the old one and will get a rebuild kit to rebuild it myself when I have time. Then I can just put in on a shelf for 100k miles from now. I like to have a back up. It never fails that things...
I only found marine injectors for 6.5. The injector nozzles for a 6.5 injector will not fit in a 6.2 injector. But the 6.5 injector will fit in a 6.2. I did not have any 6.5 injectors to rebuild so I got the whole injector not just the nozzle. Replacing the whole injector is relatively simple.
OK I bent the #8 injector line when I put my engine in. I am hearing the knock I was told to watch for. I got the #8 and #6 lines just in case. My question is has anyone replaced injector lines without removing the intake manifold? Chilton does not list removing the manifold. But It does not...
I just got my marine injectors in today. It is raining now. I hope to get them in today. They are the 6.5 marine injectors. I also have to replace a bent injector line so it might be tomorrow.
Find a mechanic that was in the military and worked on military vehicles. I guess you checked your blackout switch. If the right switch is on "all off" nothing works even the horn.
It looks easy to get to. I just did not know if they were available. The buckles in my truck and the parts truck are cracking and falling apart. The belts are ok just the plastic parts are not holding up. Texas just passed a law that all passangers must wear a seat belt even in the back seat.
Get some good ears to help. They also make an automotive stethoscope. Not sure about the spelling. But looks life the the one a doc would have but the part that goes on you chest is a long metal rod. You can put it against things and listen. But I ask other people to listen too. If it is making...
Optimas, you are most likely good to go. I have one in my old VW that I only drive every now and then. I got it because you can leave them and they last longer. Remember you need at least 150-200 RPM's or it will not start. If the batteries are weak disconnect the cables and charge them one at a...
To charge them with 12V you have to disconnect them and charge one at a time. I got two refurb batteries for about $75. If you want shoot me a PM and if you know the area I will tell you if not I can grab them for you. (you can pay me when I give them to you) No delivery fee.
Drop the drive shaft. Leave the stearing free. So the front wheels can turn when you turn. Think about a shoping cart that had all the wheels facing forward. The tires may be good. The tires on my truck were fine. Drive a few miles and check for crack again. If you want to buy new tires do it...
I know paint thinner really hurts too. I also know I can find water REAL fast without being able to see. I used up my carb cleaner I will get some more and give it a try. The dry parts flake right off but the other parts do not want to come off.
The rear side window by the radio rack has stuff on it. I am assuming it was to protect the radio or something. But it is clear and cracking. I tried using a rzor to scrape it off. It does not come off easy. Does anybody know what it is or the best way to get it off. If I have to scrape I will...
If you open the hood and look at the engine the injection pump is under the intake manifold. Looking at it look just under the front of the air cleaner. You will see a pink wire. It has a plastic clip. When you take that wire off you will not get fuel to the engine. That allows you to turn the...
There is supposed to be a needle? Mine brike the first time I tried to get it out of park. I just put it with the carpet. A luxury I can do without but maybe one day. Maybe LMC has it.
After draining the radiator pull the lower radiator hose with a large container to catch the mess. Then pull the pink wire off the injection pump and turn the engine over. With the pink wire off it will not start. Only crank for about ten seconds and then let the starter cool off for about a...
