I still think his problem is a stopped-up turbo encabulator. I had a similar power issue until I cleaned mine out. Now my truck runs like a scalded dog.
I need to move a rolling, non-running M1009 from Wahoo, Nebraska to Paris, Kentucky. Truck is clean and in a driveway in a residential neighbrhood. Wahoo is 30 miles north of Lincoln, NE and I-80. Paris is 18 miles north of Lexington, KY and I-64/I-75. Truck is missing motor so the weight...
Eddie & Gimp - Thanks for your replies. The whole reason for considering a pre-oiler pump is to add as much protection as possible to my P400 engine build. Everything I have read indicates that the majority of wear in an engine occurs at start-up before the bearing surfaces are flooded with...
Hey Rick - thanks for the reply. The reason I was asking about a check valve is because I am considering installing an aircraft pre-oiler pump to flood the bearing surfaces with engine oil prior to cranking. I have sourced the pre-oiler pump and worked out how to suck engine oil from the oil...
I was wondering if the 6.2 engine oil pump has a check valve to prevent the oil in the galleys from draining back down into the oil pan. I’ve studied the oil routing through the engine but can’t seem to see one on the diagram. Does anyone have any knowledge regarding this?
I cleared 44" tall 11.00-20 NDT's with 5" lift and slight cutting of the front fenders. I used 1" Zero Rates so I also moved the front axle 1" forward.
Joe - the single most important thing about the 700R4 is correct adjustment of the TV cable. You set this adjustment at the TV bracket with WOT. Also, make sure your accelerator pedal is opening the injector pump to WOT when the pedal is fully depressed.
Looking forward to the photos.
I'm looking forward to seeing how that 4L80e goes in and performs. Please post plenty of notes and photos to assist other SS members who are contimplating the same install.
It seems that you are beginning to think like me. It's only money. Can't take it with you when you are gone. I've...
Rick I would be interested in knowing how that can work. It is my understanding that the original design requirement for voltage to run through the GEN 1 & 2 bulbs is a system design, not an alternator design. I'm looking forward to your report.
I started this thread because a couple weeks ago I pulled my M1028 out for its annual spin in the snow. After a day of fun, around dusk I headed back to the security and warmth of my facility, and noticed that my headlights were dim and my dash panel lights almost nondiscernable. The truck was...
