You'll destroy that non-turbo motor by turning up the fuel. The exhaust gas temperatures will go through the roof. You can turn it up slightly, but if you are getting a lot of black smoke, you are probably making way too high of temps. Turbocharged engines can handle this much better. As far as...

Yeah. They definitely are a pain to position. Especially if you did it yourself. I was unable to use the factory holddown tab on the engine as well, but my Napa hoses came with both sets of O-rings. I had to do some slight bending to the aluminum end of the hoses behind the engine so they didn't...

I agree. My truck had nasty brake issues when I first picked it up and mixed DOT3 and DOT5 were the cause. If you put the two in a jar, it separates like oil and water. Changed it all to DOT5 and had no issue since.

If you have access to a tachometer, you could do a stall speed test without ever taking the trans out. Hook up the tach, put the truck in gear with your foot hard on the brake and give it a good amount of accelerator pedal. The tach will stop at the stall speed of the torque converter. Only do...

Yeah. Those lip seals are made of an early synthetic rubber and petrify over time. Heating them softens them up and makes them seal better like you mentioned before.

Early 700R4's were hydraulic control. No electronics. The later 700R4/4L60E were electronic. To properly use them behind a diesel, you need a 1200rpm (Or less. 1200 was stock on the TH400 diesels) torque converter and a diesel 700R4 governor. TV cable may be out of adjustment also. I'd try...

I'm running 16.5x10" rims with no spacers and only had to trim about a 1/4" from the inside crimps of the fenders. No rubbing at all now. Can't even tell I cut it unless you look for it. I have a 4" suspension lift.

Try some Lucas Stop-Slip additive. Good stuff. It reconditions seals and helps maintain proper viscosity. I've had 3 transmission guys recommend that stuff even after a fresh rebuild. I've had it in my last 2 trucks and have had no tranny issues.

I'm pretty happy running 30psi in the ones I have installed on my M1008.

Good job! Looks great!

They are 12v already through the resistor bank on the firewall. I can get you pictures of the way the military updated mine to a solid state controller if you would like. It is a really simple setup from the looks of it. Still have automatic controls like the factory system, but without the need...

I can't confirm the part numbers, but they did come with new o-rings and fit pretty decent. Not perfect, but decent. I had to tweak them a little to fit like OEM. Been on my truck for a few months now. No problems.

You can get a vacuum gauge and hook it directly to the pump. It should read 20 inches of vacuum at idle. Shut down the engine and it should hold that for at least 15 seconds. Next hook the gauge up down by the modulator to see you hold vacuum down there. This just checks for vacuum leaks. But if...

Yes, the engine can still rev up in park or neutral because it takes less fuel to move the unloaded engine rotating assembly. To make more power you have to add more fuel. So lack of fuel delivery would cause all your symptoms. The brake booster is fed from the power steering pump, so the...

Injection pump timing could be way off too. I kinda doubt it, but it wouldn't hurt to check out if the filter doesn't fix things. If your compression is good, it sounds like fuel starvation. It takes less fuel to spin the engine up out of gear than it does in gear.

Okay. Now it's starting to sound fuel related. Try changing your fuel filter first and see if that helps. You can do a compression check too to make sure the engine isn't damaged. From there go replace the mechanical lift pump on the lower front passenger side of the engine. If none of those...

A governor shouldn't cause a stall though. Even in 3rd gear, the torque converter doesn't have a lockup function, so it will still allow the engine to turn up to 1200rpm. Governor problems will effect shift timing more than anything. Shouldn't cause a stall. Yours may be a vacuum modulator issue...

Are you trying to let it idle in or out of gear? If it is stalling only in gear, then I still think it is the torque converter stator. If it is stalling in neutral, then I would lean towards fuel system problems.

Forgot about that. Those are prone to failure on these trucks. Had a brain fart. aua
