If you are getting white smoke and an acrid odor, then you are getting fuel. At that point either you aren't getting enough air (unlikely but check your air filter anyway) or your glow plugs aren't heating up properly.
Isn't this a DB2 pump? I have a 6.5 with a DB4 and I was told both the DB2 and the DB4 were self priming. Is there a reason to think you have an air bubble in it? Did you run it out of fuel? If you are running a Standyne DB2 pump, go to their website. There you can find the authorized rebuilders...
We could use some more background. When was the truck running last? How long have you had it and what have you done to it? Have you checked to make sure it is getting fuel to the cylinders? Put a test light probe on the glow plug and the clip in the glow plug wire and see how long it is...
Yep, it gets exciting in a hurry doesn't it. I had one on the drivers side like that. Glad you are okay and I agree completely, learn how to change the tire before you find yourself on the side of the road. Thanks for sharing.
Isn't this a 24 volt system? What do you mean by do both the positives first? Did you schematic the battery cable pattern before you took the old ones off? Be careful about the terminals. I found out the hard way that terminals that are not really snug on a 24 volt system will melt the battery...
I assume you are getting a donor 6.5? You will need the intake manifold as the naturally aspirated manifold is different, the mounting brackets etc. The turbo should spin freely with no side play. Look at eh vanes and make sure there are no nicks or chips in them. Check to make sure there are...
Welcome higgs, nice truck. I know what you mean about your wife, mine refuses to acknowledge that I have it.....so I named it after her. Don't forget to read the tm's LOTS of info there and have fun. I got my 925 out in about four to five foot of snow last year and had a great time.
Welcome Mitch, we LOVE pictures so when you get a chance, show us your beauty. You are in the right place, there are lots of folk here that are just full of....wisdom:-D
OR Csm Davis! There you go. I would think it cheaper in the long run to buy it and have it shipped than to build one. I guess it depends on your fabrication skills.
certainly. I would suggest you check with Glen at Salina. He has been processing a number of trucks, he may be able to ship one to you. I don't speak for him but he is a great guy and if anyone can help you with one it would be him. Good luck.
Okay Iggy, here are the pics. I put the dimensions on each piece so I think it is self explanatory but let me know if that isn't sufficient or you can't read my writing!
I can pm you the info with pics this evening if no one else gets it done. I have two church services this morning and my father in law's 80th birthday party at 1:00. Should be able to do it after that, if that helps. Post up if you get it so I don't duplicate the effort.
Welcome neighbor, lot's of folk from Mo. here, even some that like bobbers:-D Just kidding, welcome to the site. Great folk here and tons of information.
