    Wtf??

    Strange things are happening. Here's what happened. Backing in to a friends carport the idle started to get rough and had tons of white smoke. Got out of the truck and could smell raw fuel and it was bad. I'm thinking I've got a bad injector. Only 265,000 on the original injectors. It sat for a...

    Rough idle diagnosis

    Finally back on the road again. Turned out the seal on the brass poppet in the FPR was torn up. Couldn't get more than 30psi. Got the rebuild kit from Diesel Orings and all is well with 60psi. Idles real smooth and runs better than it has in awhile.:sweet

    Rough idle diagnosis

    Replace the fuel pump. New pump has good flow judging by the amount of fuel on the ground as I realized I left the fuel bowl drain open. :doh: Now it will not start. Checking with AE I had the following readings during cranking. Power - 11.1v RPM - 135 ICP - 1.3v Fuel Pulse 3.6. I had these...

    Rough idle diagnosis

    Had a new devolpment today. I was going to hook up a fuel pressure gauge and change the fuel filter. Filter only has about 3000 mi on it but you never know. After the filter change I started it up. Ran pretty good for a minute and then just died. Now it wont start. I opened the fuel bowl to see...

    Rough idle diagnosis

    Could that be a problem with the IPR or HPOP? I did check the oil level and it was about 1/2" from the top. I have heard that the pressure should be 500 or above to start but there would be a drop as engine warms up. EOT was 130 when I checked the data.

    Rough idle diagnosis

    Here are the symptoms. Idles rough when cold, gets worse as motor warms up. Stumlbes and misses on acceleration. I have changed the UVC harness and valve cover gaskets. Ran a CCT with AE and got code P0284 Clylinder 8 Fault/Balance. Injector buzz test was normal. Looked at PERDELS for each cyl...

    Glow plug replacement

    I'm replacing the UVC harnesses glow plugs and valvew cover gaskets. Do I need to worry about the small amount of oil that gets into the cylinder before installing the new glow plugs?

    Exhaust leak

    I started the truck up a couple days ago and noticed that the engine noise was a bit louder than usual. The idle was also a little rough and it stumbled a bit starting out. On inspection I did notice a little black soot below the collar on the up pipe on the drivers side. Looks like I'm in for a...

    No A/C at low RPMs

    Yes it does. I am still going to get a new clutch because mine did look a little worn. I didn't check the air gap with a guage but I could see before removing the shim the air gap was almost 1/8.

    No A/C at low RPMs

    Just did mine today. Yes you have to remove the clutch. It's about a 15 min job. I also have 235K and wouold have changed the clutch but our local O'Reillys didn't have one. The old one is a little worn so I'll get one at the Napa store by work.

    Who has the highest miles?

    235,000 on my 01. Replaced tranny at 75,000 and water pump at 190,000. Best truck I've ever had. My '87 6.9 had 345,000 and still was still going strong when it was totalled by a drunk driver.:rant

    California Smog Check

    I just went through the Cali Smog Test. What a joke. I a little homework first. I hid the controler for my DPTuner chip under the dash set on the stock program. Got the CARB EO number for my AFE stage and took it in. He asked if I had I chip, Of course I told him no. He accepted the paperwork on...

    Bilstien help

    Talked to an old friend of mine that used to work at the local Ford dealer. He said that unless you remove the steel sleeve in the bushing you can't install them wrong. Ford uses a shoulder bolt at the top mount and a bolt at the bottom. The 2 are different diameters.
