I finished cleaning up my turbo parts and painted the exhaust side. I oven cured them as the instructions said. I had a hard time getting the exhaust side off. There is a bolt in the center of the pedestal and I thought you could loosen up all the bolts and spin the housing enough to remove the...

I wanted to paint the exhaust side of the turbo housing with VHT Flame Proof in cast iron finish but the whole world is out of it. I ended up with flat black and it will be fine. I will separate the turbo tomorrow and get it cleaned up and painted. That VHT says is good up to 2000 degrees and it...

Your truck looks really good! Cool little mod.

I was thinking por15

Turbo looks good and spins free. Looks like nut is rounded off a little bit

You installed a boost gauge? I want to but I don’t like drilling holes and mounting stuff where it doesn’t belong. I seen a boost bolt and I would have to drill thru my lower intake where the crossover mounts

I think Melton put freeze plugs in it. I couldn’t get into it from below. Once I get everything out of the valley I might get a better view. You get the whistle from the wicked wheel? I heard it improves throttle response.

My OCD can’t hardly stand to look at the valley. I think I can get 1/2 of it cleaned up before I take the intakes off. I don’t want anything to get into the head or oil passages. I was thinking about changing my wheel while I have the turbo apart. I found a wheel that claims it makes the turbo...

I got the turbo off and started cleaning out the water and gunk from the valley. I will let it dry out and vacuum, scrape and repeat. I will take the turbo apart and have a look at it. Little turbo.

I went with the Hawkers. I believe they were 932.00 shipped. I had a lead time because they are made to order. I didn’t want batteries to cause other issues and I still don’t know how to jump start it properly. Batteries were my only splurge item and they weren’t much more than the other high...

I am the proud owner of a non running M1165. Truck is in really good condition and it has 83 miles since reset by Melton. The engine, transmission and transfer case were replaced in 2014 according to the tags. I had a lot of good help here trying to bring it to life but after going from back to...

Hahahaha I promise you will not have to teach me! Just point me in the right direction and let’s get it done. This has been on my list forever and nothing would make it better than sharing it with a local member that knows where to park

I guess I missed the part where he said he wanted to represent all branches of the military! I will read it again. I bet space force drives them as much as Coast Guard! I would love to have this discussion over lobster fest and you can show me around!

Space Force? 6 branches

When did you become a staff member/moderator? Congratulations!

So what are your options? You could remove injector lines until it goes away?

I strained it thru a coffee filter and put it in my perfect M1123. You know what I did notice is when I lowered my carrier bearing on my M1165 is that the u-joints don’t line up. The front u-joints are at a 45* compared to the others on that shaft. I don’t think that’s right and I have never...

I watched a video on 6.5 knock and I would have bet my life on it was done! Turned out to be a bad injector. I would do anything that I could to diagnose it right

Today I drained most of my fuel tank. Probably 15 gallons and I got maybe 12 out before I put the plug in. Fuel looked clean coming out. I will be installing a new injection pump and I want to start with new fuel and filters. That plug in the tank is weird and I thought it was melted because it...

I changed my oil and filter on my non runner M1165 while I’m waiting for my new injection pump. I put new o-rings and crush washer on the oil filter adapter because I think I had a leak. I put some dye in the oil to help me trace other leaks if I have them. I think the dye will make it easy to...
