I personally don’t buy in to viper semen or snake oil. In modern Diesel engines that are mandated to run ULSD, I run power service diesel clean. In these military trucks that were required to run on JP8 for their life’s, it would be an absolute treat to run DF2 with some power service. Water...
The highest flowing factory intake manifold for the 6.2/6.5/6.5T engines, per flow bench numbers, is the single plain 6.2 “J code” intake manifold. The 6.5T can’t flow the same CFM, but that is what the turbo is for, or that is the theory. It (the 6.5T) speeds up the charge Air velocity in to...
There are companies that sell full aluminum bodies that seem to be really nice, better be for the cost! I would like to be a solution to common issues/wants. Again, I’m not opposed to routine maintenance and modification to standard civilian vehicles; I’ve done LS swaps in to Asian vehicles...
There are a lot of variables with considering the 4L80E from the civilian market. This starts at what year transmission you select will determine if your stock trans cooler lines and be used or not and if your trans pan will clear the cross member. Then there is the drive shafts, what...
The idea is to buy trucks pre auction, get them to turn key runners, then sell/auction them off. We can and will do all your modifications as well if that’s your thing. We will also do general services as well. We’re not opposed to civi trucks (light duty to heavy duty) and other 4x4s. The...
I get it. The precombustion chamber gives the swirl and high velocity of the intake charge. Low pressure fuel is injected and combustion happens. The flame front expands out of the precombustion chamber, across the cylinder, then down as it pushes the piston down.
But when you compress .77...
I don’t see, personally, how a Diesel engine with 18-21:1 static compression would even need glow plug in 90 plus degree weather. Not saying I’m disagreeing with any one. Just stating my opinion. My gut has been saying fuel issue. I could be wrong, wouldn’t be the first time.
Because I’m...
Action, you must be mistaken. I’ve never met you in person, haven’t lived in Florida for over 12 years, and never worked on your car. Sorry for the confusion
Bighorn; these injectors are new stock replacements. This knock/pinging only started after I replaced the injectors. And it also not occurs off throttle (rev down) after reving up (1/4 or more throttle you input). I didn’t even suspect cold advanced due to ambient temperatures being 90 plus...
In my personal experience, if your running a true 40” tire; on the rim and Aired up, measured from the bottom of the tread to the top of the tread, you CAN physically fit it. But if you start to articulate the suspension and/or in a full lock steering angle, your going to have moderate rub...
Rubber duck 4X4. Yes, the H1 and HMMWV suspension lifts (coil spacers) are the same. The M1114 springs have a much higher spring rate, but will also provide some lift. Same with the H1 alpha springs
Update;
The injectors are new. The owner just text me and said it knocked at first when reving, but once it came up to temperature, the knock went away. Injectors are not the problem. I’m thinking piston slap
Trust me when I say this, boom mat and lizard skin are not even in the same ball park. To apply lizard skin, it has to be mixed to the consistency of peanut butter and has to be sprayed out of a professional spray gun. The sound deadening coating is a rubber based coating with fibrous insulation...
Highly unlikely. The mechanical brake TYPICALLY has no interaction with the hydraulic brake system. They operate independently of each other. This is why you must twist the piston in as you compress it in; the twist is to “screw” it back in due to the mechanics of how the integrates parking...
