Your limitations go way beyond the air filter. The factory manifold and valve sizes are just two problems. If your just looking for a little more get-up and go, replace the turbo. The factory turbo doesn't put out much. It's really just for emissions. Then you can increase the fuel.

Which small hole are you talking about ? Is this one on the bottom of the reservoir ? If so "NO" you cannot plug it. That is your bleed/return hole for the fluid. If your fluid has gunk in it, then you need to totally clean out your brake system. More then likely you have 'O' rings/seals that...

Looking good !

Exactly. When "adjusting" the FDC you will need to keep this pressure . Not when the injection pump is on the vehicle.

I didn't read your initial story, but I read it tonight. So this truck has set for 12 + years correct ? and when you checked the compression it didn't blow your finger away but just moved it ? On a diesel engine like this with compression ratios of 22:1 your finger should have been blown right...

Sa Same here. I worked as a heavy truck mechanic for over 40 years and never saw a probe fail and fall into the turbo.

I fixed that transmission long ago, but I'm always stocking up parts. Send me a private message. Thanks.

Hey "srodocker" . When is the Arlington air show this year ? Do they plan on having trucks this year ? Also , do the guys still meet down there in Napavine at the farm ? Thanks.

Here's how I did my electric winch on the Deuce. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/winch-and-bumper-project.150233/#post-1829453

OK, since there still seems to be problems with people "visualizing" this FDC movement. I'll post a picture trying to show you what is happening. When different fuels are used the "Servo Piston" will move into different areas on the "moveable plate" . I've marked these areas to show you what I...

Cattlerepairman, where can you find these Chinese Hydraulic Heads for sell ? I've been gone for a while and haven't heard of them.

Yeah, I always thought that was a stupid place to put batteries ! "Hey guys lets put some extremely caustic acid filled batteries in the cab with the troops ! "

Since the original pump was acting the same way the new pump is, I'm pretty sure timing has nothing to do with it. Unless of course the original pump had been removed and replaced.

The FDC plate will constantly move according to what pressure is exerted against the piston. There is no "regulator" in the FDC which would hold pressure at a constant. During "testing" of the FDC you would use a "constant" pressure and the FDC would be expected to hold the appropriate pressure...

For really cold climes, I would go with a good diesel fired heater. The military unit is good, but the Wabasto unit is better. They are on the fleet of buses I used to work on. Very dependable units.

Boyce does good work. Very high priced, but good work. They used to have a shop up here just south of Seattle.

OK then. It must be the drive system. Pull the pump out and check those gears and drive. Something must have come loose or is broken.

Just another note. This new injection pump was rebuilt correct ?

That was why I asked about the drive gears. Did you by chance loose the slotted piece the pump locked into ? If those pieces come loose and or fall out you would have the pump spinning only when a piece of the drive system came around and struck the pump drive. Considering both of these pumps...

It would, but like any engine it would not be firing correctly on all cylinders.
