cab heat
I live in central PA and lately it has been colder than normal sometimes below 0. I have the hot water heater installed on my truck. I noticed mine didn't work well until I added the front canvas cover. My truck now runs @ 180* in sub zero temps and blows hot heat. I also pop riveted...
Can anyone tell me how to remove the chain and hook from the winch cable, shorten the cable and reinstall the chain. I think I can figure out how to cut the cable but the brass wedge is really the issue. Thanks
Want to paint my deuce tan. Is currently painted with 3 color carc. Will tan cover the three color pattern without having to completely strip and re-prime. Could anyone recommend a paint (not CARC) that will look like CARC and still provide good corrosion protection and not be as toxic and...
is there any chance of harming my relatively virgin motor with injectors. Have Pyro and boost gauge installed. Only Prob is that Im about as high on the injector pump as I want to go. Pre turbine temp is around 1000-1100 pulling hills. Boost pressure is a high 15psi although I don't totally...
pyrometer
I used a stewart warner 3 " gauge and an aviation thermocouple that my buddy got for me for free. gauge was 45$ on fleabay. You can use the same light bulbs as the dash bulbs. I just spliced into the closest bulb on the instrument panel and ran the ground to one of the data plate...
on top where the pump enters the tank there will be 4 screws. remove them and lift the cover off. inside is a glass slowblo type fuse easy and cheap to replace. I cant post pictures but when you look at the top of the pump you cant miss the small screws.
This might be a stupid comment but did you check your fuse. I was informed by a local NG mechanic that my in tank pump was fried but all it needed was a fuse and now works fine.
my coolant heater works well even in sub zero. Just takes a while to warm up. I do however have my cab insulated with the gi od green sleeping mats on floor and back of cab tub. ( $6 from Colemans military surplus) I also have new window and door weatherstripping and use the grill cover. Just my...
Has anyone used Lucas oil stabilizer in a multifuel? Instructions say 20-60%. Says it will eliminate wear due to dry starts. Kind of expensive but if it works I guess its worth it. I also use the upper cylinder lubricant to compensate for the low sulfer fuel issue. My engine only has 105hrs on...
So if I put it on and only slightly increase my injector pump I should be ok. Not looking for a 300hp motor here just a little better hill pulling. Should the truck smoke black under load. The way it is now I cant make it it smoke.
what will happen if I just "slap" it on as is without increasing injector pump. I cant measure boost pressure or cylinder temp and I dont want to ruin my motor. Is there any safe way to do this without endangering my motor. How would I adjust IP.
I cant post pics put this turbo is definately larger. It looks like a large version of the whistler type turbo and has a protrusion towards the bottom of the the exhaust side that points towards the rear of the truck. It has a "cap" held on by 4 bolts. I know very little about turbos aside from...
Hi, have 71 AMG A2 with LDT 1-d. Friend recently gave me a turbo off 5 ton tractor ( LDS 465) Can I Put this larger turbo on my engine to gain torque and HP without screwing up my motor. Will I have to turn up injector pump or can I leave it alone? Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks
