    Ok great so i got some Harbor freight specials... got the box wrench on it ...tapping with a hammer to loosen (sprayed with PB blaster 2 hrs ago) Now one of the nuts is getting rounded. Wonder if I can get a super long socket extension under the intake manifold? PITA

    Thanks guys.. hey Zero_cool, what is that gizmo picture on the right? I thought all I had to do was loosen the 3 flange bolts and turn the Ip a fingernails width toward the drivers side?

    running poorly, lack of power, black smoke, at higher rpm. sluggish

    cracked each line ... and each one made it run worse... so that didnt help. next is to advance the timing. Those 2 bottom bolts are a bi.. bear. So im back to the computer researching how to loosen the 2 bottom bolts of the IP so I can advance the timing.

    running poorly, lack of power, black smoke, at higher rpm. sluggish

    Ok so my exhaust is blacker... sometimes surges a little since I turned up the pump screw. Got a little more power but I still think I got a miss or timing issue or an injector not spraying right. it just feels like it doesnt have the horse power it use to have.

    Did I fry anything?!!?

    The intermitent squeeling is the glow plug relay pulling juice from the altinators to the glow plugs until the truck warms up.... and if you (my guess) have the GP relay running off of 24v thru the resistor both batteries and both altinators are drawing current, making stereo phonic duel belt...

    This thing is way too fast for me..... Runs great! I got a bunch of army stuff. Elbow pads, knee pads that black plastic helmet and these goretex gaitors for your pants legs. Interesting equipment....but all worked well as makshift dirtbike gear. PS everything is for sale so PM me.
