    SS diesel glow plugs

    No I'm the guy who bucked the system and decided 12v conversion was better for my use. "see civy glow plug controler conversion" Had I known that you could just change the tang connectors and used delco 60g plugs, I may have still had the mil system today?? I just thought that the mil system...

    SS diesel glow plugs

    when I first got my truck, it had the ac delco 13G plugs and only one was still good. I noticed that the resister was bypassed and the relay was connected to the 12v block? After tracking down a new set of 13G plugs and reconnecting the resister it only took about a week to kill those plugs...

    crankcase vent

    then you will just vent the crankcase gasses out to the atmostspere, "I wouldn't recomend it" the crankcase gasses are routed back into the intake manifold to be run through the combustion chamber again and out the tail pipe. Diesels require a slight vaccum in the crankcase. The cdrv is there...

    crankcase vent

    diesels have high compression ratios, so combustion gasses build pressure inside the crankcase and the cdrv is there to relieve the pressure. When the cdrv fails "usualy clogged by oil" the pressure builds inside the crankcase and blows out the rear main seal and other gaskets.

    crankcase vent

    in a word no, not unless you want to replace the seals every 1000 miles, why would you want to remove it in the first place??

    Dealing with Rust

    I use zero rust for rust problems great stuff!! just go to an auto paint shop and ask for it. As far as the rear springs I would NEVER use blocks for lift purposes unless it's a zero rate, shackle flip is the way to go. Both can be found at off road design...
