Found a Jeep truck in the next county over that was to cheap to pass up. Borrowed a big flatbed trailer and went and got it. 12900 pounds! And it towed really well. A huge difference with new injectors. It sure is a different animal now. And who is the jokester (Gimp) that had TNJ...

Just a little follow up. I adjusted the trans controller a little. I keep it in lock up longer and can accelerate much better than in 4th. I raised the 3-4 shift points too. About half throttle it will come out of lock up instead of coming out right away. It picks up speed nicely now. There...

It is great stuff. I put it on the plow truck blade, the insides of the snow blower, and it works great. I also just found out Idaho transportation dept is switching to a salt that is 97% soon. Fluid Film is going to be a much needed protectant of sheet metal. You can already see through both...

PROBLEM SOLVED! I replaced the injectors today along with the fuel filter. The filter was not that old but I had a new one, so what the heck. I was hoping to notice a bit of a difference after getting done. I could tell immediately that it was a good thing as soon as I started it. What did I...

I will do that. I do find stuff once in a awhile. I have a lot of parts. I can't help it.:mrgreen: Gimp, I want popcorn for some reason. Lots of it!:mrgreen: Geez, my post count is 455. Is that a hint?

And to think I gave away 2 buick 455's. I was going to put one in my own wagoneer and changed my mind. I tried to sell them even on a buick forum, no go. I gave them to Fisherman, a member here and on the zone. He has gotten out of the mil truck business. One was a 1967 370 HP 410 Ft lb motor...

I have fluid film all over the place. I like that stuff a lot. That is what it is made for. It creeps. I have some sheet metal to fix now. But that us what I do for work now. I think in the long run, given the low miles, a V-8 gasser is what I would like to do. I see some pretty neat motors...

Thank you Tim and Chaski, I was pleased to see those numbers. It shifts out of lockout when I want to pass. Into 4th. It just feels washed out. I will make a note of what RPM I am at next time I drive it and nail it. And I did a little reading on IP timing and ended up in the rebuild...

Well this is good news. I found one semi loose glow plug with carbon past the seat. The previous owner put in the better AC60's . I think that was the number.. Engine warm, 6 cranks each. #1 420 #2 410 #3 410 #4 400 #5 400 #6 410 #7 410 #8 420 The injectors should be here in a couple days.

Yes and I found it. Great manuals there. COMPRESSION TEST — DIESEL ENGINESTo determine if the valves or rings are the cause of low compression, a test should be made to determine thecylinder compression pressure.When checking compression, the cranking speed must be at least 180 RPM and the...

I thought about a different truck. I am having a hard time parting with this one. It has grown on me. Plus like everything I seem to own, I end up throwing more money at it than it is worth. I paid too much for the truck and ended up fixing many things so far. My logic is it is low miles...

No they did not. I believe they lowered the shift points based on my gear ratio, tire size and the 6.2. I don't have any complaints with the transmission at all. It is the motor and not making enough power at higher RPM's. I really doubt it is a transmission issue. I could be wrong I guess. I...

I do have a TPS. I think the controller is working fine. In speaking with the manufacture about my truck, they programmed it for me before sending it based on my diesel app. All I have done is raise the lock up speed from 45 MPH to 55 MPH as it was hunting while driving on gravel to the...

I have always appreciated the knowledge base here. And yes that whole experience did teach me a lot. It also gave me confidence to dive into an automatic if the situation comes about. So in every bad situation, there is something positive to take away from it. I ordered new injectors from...

Thank you. I was just logging on to take a look at the manuals. I drove the truck to town today. The truck scales were busy so I drove past. It sure does feel anemic. I hope to improve matters with a little work. Thanks for the quick answer.:-)
