I have always gotten the interior door handle started. Align the lock threaded rod with the knob unscrewed. Then push it down into the window channel. Followed by the white push in pine cone looking things. The 2 screws on the arm rest and then the screws at the bottom of the panel.

Removing the turbo from the valley exposes the oil feed and drain lines. Keep them clean and dry in your cleaning.

If you run it dry. Add fuel. 5 liters might not be enough if you are an an incline. It will take about 2-3 minutes of cranking on the starter to get it primed again. I count to 20 while cranking, stop, let it rest for around a minute, repeat, repeat, etc…. 2 good batteries will be able to...

Welcome to the fun! Please don’t use either anymore. It can ignite when near a hot glow plug. WHOOSH flame back into your face, broken glow plugs or even bent engine internals could also happen. You wrote the engine struggles to turn over. I read that as meaning the starter motor can barely...

Snap-On PP408 is the tool the Banks turbo manual says to use. We are supposed to list current auctions on this site so you have to find it yourself. Just make sure it has the external bit.

Search “Brake Fluid Silicone.” Get it by the gallon from several sources.

Page 2-70 of the TM9-2320-289-20 manual in the electrical trouble shooting section item 27 says:

The fuel gauge is basically an Ohm meter and the fuel gauge sending unit and float in the tank is a variable resistor. A full tank should give you 90 ohms. Empty is 0 Ohms. I have switched senders and I have switched GM gauges. No matter the combination the gauge tends to hang around past full...

I thought the Duramax filter already linked above has the heater and water in fuel?

Those look very similar to the Dakota Digital gauges.

I actually have 2 muffs on the microphone. I meant to visit with you about your equipment. Maybe next time.

I tried something new when making a video of the drive to the museum. I put a wired microphone on the tail light brace of the M715 right next to the exhaust pipe exit. The same basic location sounds great on my Miata and Porsche. I guess 6.2 liters of Detroit Diesel with limited muffler is just...

Glad you were able to get it home.

The sun isn’t up yet and only Mike and I are awake that I can tell. Another great time visiting and seeing everyone along with some new faces. Here are my videos of my perspective of the event: If you make it 10-15 minutes into the 3rd video you can see the result of stupid people among...

Snap-On…..MMMMMMMM. Glad I didn’t read this last night. I wouldn’t have gotten any sleep. I think I am set on precision tools.

M715 is on the trailer, Trailer is hooked to the Cowdog and the Cowdog is packed with everything but food. I should be at least halfway there this time tomorrow. Everyone travel smart.

You don’t have to have a bleed screw. There are work around as posted above. However, a bleed screw sure is nice on the side of the road.

Physically verify front battery voltage. One of my CUCV’s last week did nothing when I moved the key to start. I jumped in another one and drove away. I finally had a chance to check the other truck and found 7.5 volts at the front battery. 6 years old. I charged it up and the vehicle has...

I’m still planning to make it Friday evening.

First start of the day no matter the temperature with good glow plugs should be 10-15 seconds minimum. Below 60° and figure 15-20 seconds if you have 60G glow plugs. If you have anything else then for sure don’t go more than 20 seconds. Below 40° and figure 20-25 seconds. 20-25 seconds...
