There isn't a boost tube- no turbos on these trucks... A leaky lift pump is an issue that could show symptoms of hard starting, I don't think that it is causing the smoke issue though.

How is the oil level, and does the oil look normal?

I could not get mine to fire on WD-40..maybe I didn't use enough. Best to just fix the glow plug system.

Here is one example, there are more variations of course: [media]

My engine has a steel shaft/rod- no nylon involved anywhere. It is one piece.

It may just be me- but I would not feel comfortable trusting the pump to be good even if it passes a drill test. It may not show you that a screw went through the pump and the gears in the pump are all chewed up even though it is still sort of working.

If there was that much stress on the rod- wouldn't that indicate that the oil pump might be jacked up? I think you should pull the pan and look at the pump first.

When I did mine, its a MEP-005A, I cut the bus bar on the bottom where ALL of those wires are.... I removed some and pushed some out of the way- and then used a Dremel tool with a very small cut off disk to cut the bus bar in place, I just removed the small picece from the T12 area. I broke 2 or...

Could it be that the seller really just found a better offer? If you really liked the truck you may want to get a second opinion... What are the symptoms?

If you see any wear on the break pedal it has probably rolled over. Significant wear on the drivers seat- it should be obvious....

You have to think positive thoughts and then everything will be fine! I personally would not let it bother me, it sounds like it is very minor.

An electrician should have no trouble wiring a 50 amp rated receptacle to your generator. All you need a couple feet of cable (wire), a receptacle, and a ground rod with acorn. Keep in mind that most electricians don't know how to operate your generator- so you will have to figure that out. If...

The frequency gauge is powered by a transducer that is mounted in the panel behind the meter. The system has a reputation for not being very reliable. My guess is that the transducer has failed. But- check for voltage on it while running, ~120V on the input side, and check the wire connections...

Just to reiterate what some have said- your house is "split phase, single phase". Your house voltage is derived from a 240V center tap transformer giving you 120/240. Now there is such a thing as two phase- it is nothing more than two hots and a neutral from a three phase system. The voltage...

Good question- In this case its going to be all about if the windings and leads use a large enough wire to handle the current. The overload protection is there to protect the winding from too much current. I believe the over-current devices are set to 120% of rated load, so without changing...

Very nice! I think that will clear up a lot of misunderstanding. A note- to put the generator back into 3-phase 120/208 all that you have to to is move the jumper wire connection point from T2/T8 back up to either N/T10/T11 and will be back to the factory original electrically.

It could be plugged fuels filters or the sock on the pick up line in tank as well. You need to find out if the protection system is what is shutting it down - it should give a light if so, but you never know with old equipment. If it shutsdown when running with the battlefield short "on" it is...

I take there are no shutdown indicator lights? Have you tried running it in battlefield short to see if keeps running?

Deuce- You can not change 416V 3 Ph to 240V 1PH. You could get what looks like 240V Delta 3Ph by ignoring the neutral and turning up the voltage when the gen is set to Low Y, 120/208 configuration. Then use 3 transformers to convert 240 single phase to 120/240 split phase- but this only gets...

The % rating that I am referring to would be 50-80% of 15KW, at sea level, with no derating in your senario. Now if your heatpump has a 10KW resistive backup heater like mine- you have to size your gen to at least 10KW plus ....You would need at least a 15KW if you plan on needing the resistive...
