Talk about irony. If you had replaced the IP, you would have had to take the intake manifold off. Most likely you would have seen the foreign body, err nut. The lesson was for all of us BTW. At least it sounds like you probably have enough spares to make a few good engines. I wish I was in...

Sorry to hear of your misfortune. I guess there is a lesson to be learned here. Don't ignore symptoms. If it doesn't seem right, figure out why. I guess I'd be looking for a good deal on a new 6.5 TD and I'd put a mechanical IP on it, depending on the condition of the rest of the truck...

I normally don't like to join in on the pig pile, but in this case it is justified. Very serious safety concerns. As a society, we no longer hold the individual accountable for their own deeds (or mis-deeds as it were). If we did, people like this might be less inclined to risk more than...

I am seeing a very old seal in there under all that crud. I also see a very rusty slip yoke. A rusty slip yoke shaft can chew up a new seal quickly. The seal is available in most auto places. I provided 2 common cross references. Given the level of experience you don't seem to have with...

Page 194 of the -34p Diagram number 2. Part number 9449-K. Crosses to a Timken 9449 or SKF 18992. Since the seal was missing for some time, you should consider replacing the output shaft bushing #3 at the same time. If you check online sources like RockAuto, you will notice that the seal...

Swap them if they are both isolated ground, the alternators that is. See if your issue follows the alt. Voltage is regulated by changing the flow of electricity through the rotor, moderating it as the regulator sees changes in the line voltage. Not sure that greasing up your brushes would...

Electrical System Voltages Figure about 5-7 HP to run an alternator on full draw. While there is some loss spinning an alternator that is "off", it is marginal. Passenger side alt. in stock config charges the rear battery, which is only used for starting, unless you have 24 volt accessories...

A known weak point that ground in the bulb socket. You can buy replacement sockets and splice them in. Use a little heat shrink tubing over your soldered repair. Rule of thumb, always check your grounds in vehicle wiring. Really weird things can occur as a result of bad grounds, defying...

Improve Highway Performance of CUCV Pickups Welcome to the MV addiction. So, aside from what is likely to be a fuel supply issue as Warthog indicated, in order to drive 65 steadily and avoid engine damage you will need to do one or more of the following: Change the gear ratio of the...

I recently replaced a water pump (January) and used the Fel-Pro gasket kit as well. For the timing cover plate to housing I went with the gasket dry. There is no real pressure and an oil/oil vapor environment. This is where GM specifies anaerobic sealant. For the water pump to plate I used...

Huzzah! I'll bet your glad that is over with. Please report how the 5/32 line holds up over time. That line I picked up from Badger is really easy to install and is holding up very well. It has a woven fabric outer covering that seems to keep it tight and protected from abrasion. I plan on...

I found that article I mentioned earlier. They state you can use regular 1/8" fuel line: http://www.dieselpowermag.com/tech/chevy/0554dp_62l_buildup/photo_14.html

Excellent news! I was expecting this to be your issue. NAPA: http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/CatalogItemDetail.aspx?R=NDP7002369_0375768315 Dorman: 904101 Or, you can order the hose from Badger I mentioned before. All about the same price.

These days, may be one and the same. I recently purchased an AC-Delco water pump. Guess where it was made? Nice piece though.

Very bad indeed. Can you post pics please? Maybe even a video of the leaks? Make sure you didn't cross thread the fittings when you re-installed. These are very simple compression type fittings that work very well. How many injectors are actually leaking?

This!

I'm going to bet that this is at least part of your issue. Places like Badger Diesel sell a diesel return line that you simply push on the injector nipples without those awfully frustrating teeny tiny clamps. I've used the Badger stuff and it works great. Made in Germany. Can even remove and...

I'd really like to know, after the Banks is in, whether or not there is enough clearance for the Nostalgic Air AC system. Anyone do this combo yet?
