Congratulations patracy!

Great progress again as usual. Well done, keep it up! BDGR

Looks pretty clean. Best of luck. BDGR

I'm having too-high readings come and go, getting worse just earlier this week. I think if I really had 120psi the engine would sound a LOT different. I'll check that sending unit myself, and the wires too. BDGR

On your electrical woes, and possible causes of start box issues: grounding is always a good thing to verify, and you did that so next I wonder if you checked the integrity of the positive battery wiring on the backside of the battery box? There is a post that is mounted through the battery box...

You're making good time, really moving on repairs. Looking good!

Count me in please.

Looks like you're on the right track for getting it sorted out. If you decide to replace the radiator, Champion makes a nice aluminum radiator that fits the TD rig. There are some threads here on the site about it. Once you have it sorted out, it's my understanding we should run fleet diesel...

Even at max tuning, a stock OM606 looks to be well below the Horsepower of a 6.5TD, based on WikiPedia details. An OM606 might fit, with enough jamming and adapters, but it might be a very slow ride. BDGR

Better springs on your seat? ;)

Count me in. Question: If we're already a Premier member, does that count? Or is there another way to push the $10 for a second entry? Thanks, Bulldogger

Double polished 40 ga marine vinyl is the standard. BDGR

Until you asked I didn't know there was a Turbo Shroud. My 1987 M998 has a 1990's era 6.5TD stuffed in it using the original cooling stack and we seem to be doing fine. BDGR

I heard they closed (went out of business). Have they reopened? BDGR

I did the same and got an identical response from their Virginia rep when we were fighting the VA HMMWV retired military vehicle law. BDGR
