If you use the I80 route, I'm just a few miles away in Salt Lake City. I'm always willing to help a friend in need.

Yeah. My wife now sees that this hobby can indeed bring in money! So now, I'm going to go crazy at GL! I'm a ****ed genius!

I'd suspect injector problems because black smoke=unburnt fuel. I bet you have one or more injectors peeing a stream instead of misting the fuel. This is a bad thing! If you drive it under this condition, the stream of fuel can cut through a piston like a torch!! Pull them out and bench test...

I'm going to groundhop the others too. The guy didn't want the can. I might make one of the cans into an enclosure for a generator for my house. I'm going to pic out the best of the remaining engines for my Blazer. I got a 6.5 turbo setup as partial payment for the 6.5 GEP engine, plus...

Good news! I just sold the 6.5 engine! I made back my investment and have enough left over to take my wife out to a nice dinner. Plus I still have the 3 6.2's left!

That writing is not Arabic or Hebrew. It's Thai. Cool truck!

What does the disk break? If it breaks your axle, I'd ask for a refund! rofl Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Man I want those axles.

Pour it on in.

Holy run-on sentance! I had a hard time understanding this, but I think you're asking if you can just pour the WVO in with the 200 gallons or so of WMO? If so, I'd say do it. It would dilute out into the WMO untill it was indistinguishable, I'd think.

Clean up the WMO or the veggie oil? I use time and solar heat to do most of the cleaning of my used cooking oil. I collect the oil in 275 gallon totes, nasty french fry bits and all. Then I let it sit in the sun for a month or so without disturbing it. Most of the particles settle to the...

I've been running SVO conversions for about 6 years now. Been making bio for about 5. It's not that hard, once you get over the initial learning curve. Try out this site: Forums They have all of the info, and a ton of old timers that never get tired of helping beginners out. As to whether...

Drive safe, and dont forget to get your rest! I'm out of your way, up here in Salt Lake City, but if I can do anything to help you out, feel free to ask!

Really bad ball joints on the front axle will cause a clunk noise consistant with what you describe.

I removed one of the compression fittings from the block, took it to a hose shop, and had them make a 12" hydraulic hose with the female fitting on either end. It cost me like $23 at EVCO.

I just cranked it. No glow plugs. It had been a warm day (in the 90's), so I didn't bother to jumper the GPs.

No tags.

Thanks, guys. It sure made the last week worth it to see/hear/feel that engine come to life and then to smooth out and idle!

Here's some video of me test firing a 6.5 in the can:

My 3 year old was getting bored, but my 5 year old was as happy as could be to finally hear it fire!

The wifey shot 3 videos:
