On Friday afternoon I sold a good bare 6.2 block, good 6.2 crank, cam, harmonic balancer and today I used that money to buy brand new Bosch 6.5 Injectors to mate with the 4911 pump. Made in Germany OEM from Accurate Diesel. https://www.accuratediesel.com/shop/216.html

Woah! 3 pages! 😂 I just wanna know what temperature your temperature gauge reads when on a long drive? I say if it’s running great then drive it like you stole it! Case closed! Or tell the shady mechanic $12,000 and it’s his and buy a much cheaper one and pocket the profits!

Note: The Optimizer has wide mouth precups which comes Standard on all Optimizers I believe which would allow a crap load more fuel if needed. But, I am not looking to build a short lived power wagon. My goal is no more then 10 psi boost. I will keep the wide mouth precups but keep fuel set for...

I checked inside each intake port hole and looked for any foreign things that should not be in there. All the valves look shiny new! I put the plastic cover back on and called it a good 15 minutes for the day. 😂

I got off work early today and opened up my spare glow plug box and pulled the best used glow plugs out and then installed them on the Optimizer. Yep, G60s. I checked the glow plug depth using a flashlight peeping threw the injector hole and made sure nothing was in there that should not be in...

Ok. I am back to questioning your injection pump and injectors. Will you post video of the motor running and show the exhaust as well? Also where did you get the pump and the injectors? Yes it matters. Is there any Thumping noises from the intake? Any ticking noises? Could you install a...

What temperature did the motor get to on the gauge with the thermostat installed?

What are the problems your truck is having?

Hello and welcome to SS! Nice ride! My advice is... Ready? 1. Do not add stop leak into your coolant! It may stop the leak but it will also clog all the coolant passages and coolant holes on your head gasket and radiator causing overheating. I know because I have done this and seen the...

I have new and used Harmonic Balancers for sale. If interested send me a PM

10-4! I am thinking if you would have bought that motor, your rig would be sitting a long time because of all the modifications you would have to do to make it work. The 6.2 is still a great motor! There are ways to make it bomb proof just as good if not better then a Optimizer. But at that...

Thanks for that clarity!

Is this going to be your build thread? So what’s your plan?

If I am right, a yummy beer from France would be nice 🍺

Having the correct injection pump and correct injectors is crucial for a properly working motor. Injector pop pressures must match the injection pump. Your old ip DB2829-4267 14077179 1984-85 CUCV (Military), HD C/K, D Truck C/K DB2829-4520 Note 2 except (d) Your new ip DB2829-4521 23500414...

Where did you get the ip and injectors from? If your old IP and injectors worked just fine, I would put them back on and get a refund on the ones you just got.

Sounds great to me! Any slapping noise could be your V belt being loose and slapping on your upper radiator hose shield. Open hood and check for play in the belts.

Why did you change everything? How was it running before you changed everything? Can you install a clear fuel hose between Injection pump and return line to check for air in the lines? Did you replace the lift pump? Try to advance the timing in the injection pump by turning it toward driver...

I use 1 or the other. Either 1/2 tank blend with diesel #1 or I add Howes. Howes has always worked for me if instructions are followed. Howes is cheaper the diesel#1 and you get more fill ups with a bottle of Howes. I use it personally and commercially. If I was in Alaska and it was colder...

The most effective 4 things that has helped me with cold starts from 10 degrees down to -30 degrees are... 1. 600 watt block heater. 1000 watt block heaters get too hot and eventually burn out quicker. Make sure to run the motor 5 times to get the air pockets out after you install a block...
