One thing many people overlook with blow-by issues is the turbo. One thing you can do is remove the pressure intake hose and see if that helps eliminate blow-by. I have seen failed bushings in turbos create high crank case pressures.
As far as people telling you it is an antiquated design and...
I am not aware of what is considered acceptable blow by on these LDT's. I am currently fighting a fuel pump issue and understand your frustration that's for sure. I would dig around and see if you can find any definite measure that Military may have stashed in a TM? Or Oliver/White may have some...
I have yet to verify fuel pressure. My next step was to remove the side cover and see if I can manually operate it. I'm not too concerned with the warranty. I purchased the truck custom and this is the second pump. First the one on it had a cracked hydraulic head and now after all the work...
Recently I installed a re-man IP assembly following knowledgeable advice from some of you guys and of course the TM instructions . Truck ran great for about 600 miles then I started to notice a power issue. I attributed it to the FDC that I have not had time to bypass given the weather. Not to...

LOL I'm already over it. I just found IRONIC humor in your infinite knowledge after the fact of course. Unlike most I view everything as a learning experience and can admit when I make a mistake. I screwed it up and now I have that knowledge to share with others. I was just questioning your...
