    M35a2 knock

    You never said anything about your oil pressure and temp of the engine after developing the knock. Did they change (overheating now low oil pressure)? With a compression ratio of i think 22:1. Any change in fuel delivery will change the sounds you hear from the engine. Also agree with @david56...

    M35a2 knock

    I know you said you swap injectors etc.... But if the injectors were not pop tested who to say injector 5 is adjust properly either. Take all the injectors out, clean the tips adjust psi to proper setting and pop test them. Should have a good spray pattern, no dripping off tip, hold psi, and...

    Please don’t say head gasket…

    You know after rereading post you pick things up. With you running WMO/Fuel mixture that could be it. You are not completely burning the mixture. Some of the mixture not getting burned could be come out of exhaust ports. You said injector pop at 2800psi. You turned it up to 3000 psi. If I...

    Where to put steering box for my 5 ton-based truck

    I'd suggest a soldier b to help save your arms and or maybe use a pipe and chain loop to hold at height. Than you can maybe slide it back to desire spot. If you have some heavy ratchet straps, wrap the strap around the steering box and the frame tight enough that it dont fall but still let you...

    Weird Fuel pressure issue…

    Hi Dane. I saw your ad in wanted section for a in tank pump after posting last message. I almost guarantee you have problem pulling fuel through the old pump with the new pump. If you want to use your new pump. I would take out the old in tank pump and attach line to just the pickup screen and...

    M923A2 Hard downshift 2 to 1st

    The short answer is no if done right. Mark where it is now than adjust it. If it's too much adjustment it may shift at higher rpm or lower rpm (early shift). Dont remember. If you don't like feel put back where it was. Are you still running motor oil in the trans or switched to atf? Thou...

    Weird Fuel pressure issue…

    Hi Dane. I read and reread whole post. Are you working on a m35a2 or m35a3? Also is it a a3 tank or a2 fuel tank. Reason asking because if a a2 tank and you bypassed in tank pump with a external pump. What are you using for power source for pump? I'm think of three reasons if it a a2 tank. One...

    Fuel not getting past Hydraulic Head

    "I took off the fuel shutoff plate and the parts inside move freely but when pushed toward the firewall, only returns to about 6 o'clock on its own, can be pushed to 7 with a little effort". Quota. That is a big part of your problem. That should move back to 7o'clock very easy shouldn't have to...

    Inline pump

    Did you check the in-line fuse to see if its blown? Alot of times either the base plate falls off or the piece of rubber hose gets soft and needs replaced. Just pull it out and check it first before spending money that you can spend on something else.
