You don't specifically need a $500 Fluidampr. Any new harmonic balancer will extend the life of your engine. Summit has new Dorman balancers for under $100. Replacing the old harmonic balancer should be the absolute first thing you should do to extend the life of your engine. Just my 2 cents.

Karl - only you could come up with that!

Thanks to tim292stro for providing the information that the orange wire at the glow plug card is the wire which senses voltage to the glow plugs. Therefore the orange wire should be the source wire to an LED indicator. Thanks again to tim292stro !

I found this nice diagram in the Helpful Threads but it was a jpeg file, which is sometimes difficult to print on certain printers. I converted it to a PDF to make it easier for anyone who would like to download it. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your post. But I was hoping someone else had done this and could simply provide the wire information. I currently have my batteries out and dash apart, so turning on the ignition switch to find the power is not an option.

I'm installing a manual momentary push button to fire the glow plugs in case the card gets fried. I also want to add a dash-mounted LED to indicate when power is actually being delivered to the glow plugs. I have read all the posts in the sticky regarding such an LED, however there is no...

Keith, I was very plain in my post that I had no desire or intent to start a debate. And I will not engage with you on the subject. I do know that actual results override theory, and the engineers at Bullet have the results. This is the system they use on cross-Australia racing. You have the...

Ok, that's it. I can't stay quiet on this subject any longer. Bullet in Australia has everything that you need in one kit. Chevy 6.5 Diesel Engine - Bullet Cars and 4WD - Australia’s Leading Supercharger Specialist This is what I am installing on my P400 6.5 diesel. And while I respect...

Finally getting back to work on my M1028. Throughout the whole 12-year process my goal has been to eliminate as many possible points of failure as possible. Whenever I can substitute something which is manual-operated instead of electronically-operated, that is what I do. So, when I decided...

Yes I restored my springs the same way. You will not regret the extra work. Several people call me crazy, and that's Ok, because I AM CRAZY.

Skinny a Level II 700R4 K-case from Bowtie will handle 450 HP and 450 FPT. That's what is behind my P400. I love the 700R4's lower first gear and higher top gear, and that is why I chose a 700R4 for my drivetrain build. And no electronics to fry, just that elusive TV cable bracket. And no...

Its ironic you posted after my post of last October, as I am about to pull my crankshaft pulley off and replace it with the crank pulley for the Bullet Supercharger. I plan to send my AC compressor back to Sanden and have them replace its v-belt pulley with a 6-rib pulley so it can be powered...

I have two new rebuild kits I am not going to use. If you are interested, pm me.

Cranking any engine without oil pressure is probably the worse thing you could do. The bearing clearances are designed to operate while being flooded with pressurized oil from the oil pump. If you have installed a new oil pump, obviously the pump has no oil in it, and the galleys and oil...

Is your blasting cabinet that big? If so I am a little jealous. Also please expand on the 35 spline upgrade. I also understand ORD offers outer axle seals. If I ever get back into my front D60 I will clean the inside of the axle and install those. Great work!

An older gentleman dropped by my shop today to see if I needed any 6.2 parts. Curious, I asked him what all he had. He said he had several complete engines, heads, and whatever, and added that he also had a pretty rusted "Army Blazer". I told him that I currently did not have any needs, but I...

If that is the case (pardon the pun), I suggest you consider reaching out to Rick in Jonestown PA (cucvrus on SS). He probably has a case available, but if not, he could probably steer you in the right direction. If I were you and could get a used case, the first thing I would do would be to...

Look on the round tag on the rear of the case. It should be stamped on there. You may need to clean it first, but don't use solvent which could erase the paint. I've been fooling with these things for over 50 years, and in my opinion, Mark Bendler is one of the best TC rebuilders on the...

Yes the 241 case is the same size but just a little different due to thicker castings and room for the oil pump. No driveshaft change unless you go with the SYE. Many of the 241's had the electronic speedometer output. Only the 1988 and a few of the 1989's had the mechanical speedometer...
