Thank you for your reply, as I was thinking the same. If I am reading the print correctly, they’re basically using a wheat stone bridge as a shunt circuit. I think I’m going to open her up today and check the diode‘s.

I forgot to mention that I checked continuity through all the breakers.

Been doing a little refreshing on the old truck. A fresh Inj. pump, Filters etc. so I go to use the generator today, RPMs come up, air compressor kicked on and everything went dead. Got the meter out and open the distribution panel and measured directly off the leads coming from the gen head. I...

I read an article years ago that stated the pre combustion chamber cups were designed in the military heads to allow them to run a broader range of fuels.I have a 1028,and 1031. Both engines are extremely loud compared to civilian. Just installed a civvy pump and injectors on a friend's 1028...

I was referring more to the injection event noise.Civilian motors are so much quieter. My understanding is that the pre combustion chamber slot size determines how fast the combustion event takes place.these old mechanical pumps just push the fuel out in a big shot pretty much,and the size of...

Yes, I have that silencer system on a civilian truck. But I have to pull to exhaust manifold bolts for the support bracket. I've been a little leery to pull them because everything sealed up well.

6.2's differences I have owned many 6.2 and 6.5 engines over the years. And have had good luck out of all of them. Why are these military motor so much louder than the civilian versions? I just helped a friend install a civilian pump and injectors in a 1028. It's still sounds like..a cucv...

I am referring to the pivot point at the rear of the spring. And as stated above, if the rubber is gone in the bushing,or a center pin broken on the spring pack. But if it has scooted back you ought to be able to see signs of movement around the U-Bolt area.

I just went out and looked at mine.. my passenger side bumper is lined up center, but the driver side axle is slightly behind that bumper. But not as far as yours.I would observe the shackles on the rear of the springs on both sides to see if they appear to be at the same angle.. you might want...

Are you using the rubber bumper on the frame as a reference?Or am I just not seeing something?

I didn't install the lift,my father did.He purchased this 1031 after he retired after 40 years.He had a stroke within a few hours of installing the lift.Didnt even get to drive it.Was funny,had him in the barn one day..he kicked the truck and accused it of bringing on the stroke lol..he left the...

as you can see.. sitting pretty tall for actually using it.The xzl's are even taller than these 37's.

I went out and rounded up all the original parts to remove this lift kit from my 1031. I was lucky and ended up with the original springs ect. to return it to stock ride height. The big tires and lift look good, but... I use this truck for utility, you almost need a ladder to reach the vice with...

I hope my post didn't come across as bashing, certainly not my intention.the statement that diesel fuel will never be coming back is very true. My company truck is a 2013 6.7 Ford. That engine is an absolute monster. Quiet and smooth. In stock form, is one of the most powerful trucks that I've...

And this truck is still running its original CP3, again with no additives.last year when I looked at its rail pressure it was still spot-on.

I personally don't run additives. But the stanadyne treatment worked really well on my db2.I was ready to replace the injection pump,but someone suggested on here that I try the stanadyne. It's saved me a lot of work. My daily driver is an 04 common-rail Dodge. My original injectors made it to...

Well..all of my testing was strictly off-road of course. Lol.. I have filtered approximately 35 gallons so far. I thought I would cut the filter open on my transfer pump and see what the filter is catching.

They aren't that expensive to buy here. These are what are called small stripper wells.these make At most 200 barrel a year. And free gas for the garage furnace. They are kind of fun to fool with.. I probably have two hours a week in it. This is such small scale it's almost hobby.

I know it can be nasty,I work in/around it daily.We do hydrocarbon analysis where I work.But for a different industry.We don't have high level of H2s here,but it is high in parrafines/wax.I have ran civvy 6.2s on waste mineral oil,motor oil ect for many miles.I read of a Mercedes in the Ohio Oil...

This crude comes from the Injun Run sands about 1100 feet here. It's color and consistency is very similar to diesel fuel anyway.
