Thanks! I have seen the grab cad file. I think my plan right now is I am going to get the single circuit bracket off another truck hopefully and work on experimenting with modifying it for the dual circuit master cylinder. Will post pic's / info as I make any progress. The one other thing I've...

Just curious if you happened to make any further progress? Starting to look into doing this upgrade on my truck and so far it looks like my only option is to fabricate the existing single circuit bracket since the double circuit bracket appears to be rare. Thanks, Mitch

That's correct it's now set to ldt/lds timing mark. When I added the turbo a year or two back I never changed it and left it on the ld timing mark. Technically I was rogue before this post as I think leaving it on the LD timing would be adding more advance BUT I dont think I saw more power...

Yeah its had the turbo installed for quite some time I think roughly a year or two. Had some free time and an extra set of hands so I figured I would try adjusting the timing to what its set to factory.

Thought everyone would find this interesting. So I went ahead and adjusted the ip timing to the correct LDT timing and noticed without touching the "go fast screw" better response overall (at least torque up a hill) and more boost now topping out around 9psi and no rise in EGT still hitting a...

Currently fuel blend but usually I do diesel every other tank and it seems to stay around the same results.

On flat ground it seems great mainly up a hill it seems kind of slow. I know its not meant to be fast, but it seems the low RPM under 1700 really doesn't spool the turbo or even for that matter hit high egt and has a harder time getting up to that 2000rpm area. especially if its under 1500 it...

Hey All, My truck was originally a non turbo LDT truck and I added a turbo on a few years back (never retarded timing). Now I was reading that not retarding the timing could hypothetically get more horsepower but I am wondering if that is really true on our trucks. Currently monitoring my boost...

Nevermind was looking in the wrong spot missed it with the heater in there.

Hey all, Was doing some general maintenance and when looking at my injection pump it seems the fuel adjusting screw is completely missing or went in? Has this ever happened to anyone before / is there an easy way to get it back out? Truck has been running ok although a little bit sluggish up...

On regular diesel right now and it does it. I would figure if it was bad fuel it would have more issue when cold. I am having the opposite starts great when cold takes about 3 blips of the starter switch when warm.

Thanks for that info great write up!

Ugh that's not what I was hoping for ...one thing I did notice is if I leave the pump on for like 10 seconds or so it does seem to start right up. Still think it's plunger or could an air leak cause it? But idk how I could test for an air leak?

The filters I just changed less then a month ago but agreed I will give them a check. Its weird though because I would think if it was filters or a weak lift pump wouldn't it have more problems when cold? The smoke output at idle is pretty smoky but clears up when up to speed. And agreed with...

It just started over the past few times I've had it out. I haven't noticed it get worse as of yet. I mostly run diesel but do mix a bit of wmo filtered and blended with diesel off and on. I'll go ahead and see if the cap fixes anything next time I go out.
