Not really. It is just making a badly designed system correct like it should have been from the beginning. If they would have placed the battery disco switch elsewhere in the truck like other vehicle makers do, this would not be such an issue. By upgrading the starter and alternator to modern...
It is a stupid design. Nothing should be that sensitive. Should have just been a single ignition switch that does both. Alternator replacement with anything other than stock aleviates this issue completely. I shut my truck off in the "wrong" order now just because I can with no over-volt...
You're in OH? That is GR's and a few other's stomping grounds. You'll need to be changing your avatar pic every 3 weeks, it is a requirement of the OH members.
Truck was likely shut down in wrong switch order, and zapped the alternator and ABS module. Welcome to the club. Your alternator is probably not working anymore. I sell replacements that do not have the failure characteristics of the stock one, for reasonable prices. You can also get a...
No, I've been too busy looking for an SAE #1 clutch disk, pressure plate, and throw out bearing.
Your cover came off easily because you had the hood and radiator already off. Most people will be doing this on an assembled truck.
Just per the service manual. There are timing marks on the side of the pump, you find TDC on the crank damper, and between the two of them, you simply pull the injection pump driven gear from the pump shaft. It is a tapered fit. You are not pulling the gear off and holding it in your hand or...
You only have to remove the small round injection pump gear cover which the tachometer cable attaches to. Few ways to advance from 8 to 16 degrees, depending upon if you trusted it was 8 to begin with.
Aftermarket makes governor spring kits. Full fuel rack travel limiting adjusting nut is...
I greatly apologize. I have seldom had a PM slip by. I will respond in detail tonight. Apology again. Even if you don't get it from me, anything is better than the one that you have now. -CM
We test starters all the time at -40F, and one time I put an open top container of diesel 15W-40 oil in the test cell also. After sitting overnight, I turned the container over, and the oil did not even run down the edge of the jar. It completely stayed as a solid block in the container...
Wow, this a is a total win! Nice work. If the motor is the same RPM, then the gain may be near zero. But, I would have hooked it up as-is and checked out the airflow with the impeller and hosuing it came with. I can't believe it pulls 42 amps @ 24v. That is a silly amout of power for just a...
I don't know if I would go as far to say the 855 is a million mile engine. Not that any MV is ever going to make it 1 million miles. I don't even know if anybody has 100,000 on theirs here, or anywhere else. I think the Detroit Series 60 was one of the first mass production production motors...
