    Bad Fuel Pump?

    Spent all day yesterday looking for that stinkin IR gun, after 30min or so I gave up and just started cleaning lol eventually found in one of the first places I looked lol. Checked the exhaust ports, and surprise to me, it’s the #3 cylinder that is cold. If i can find my 17mm wrench I’ll see if...

    Bad Fuel Pump?

    If I so chose to take that pump of yours (after I figure out the issue of course), how much work is there in changing to the P pump? That’s something that I never really considered until now. Aside from that, what kind of performance gains are we talking? If it’s down low where I need it most...

    8.3 Engine Timing Pin

    I’ll hav to see if there is a shop even remotely close that’ll do that for me then. It’s not really a knock I guess, more like a heavy rattle, more so than is normal for this engine, but with a definite miss. You can smell a little unburnt diesel and at higher RPM it does “backfire” in the the...

    Bad Fuel Pump?

    Thanks, I didn’t even think of using the IR thermo to see which cylinder is crap. I really hope it’s not an injector since I just replaced all of mine, but I’d still rather have that over a pump.

    8.3 Engine Timing Pin

    I took a look again today just to be sure and the pin IS there, so I musta been thinkin of my fuel pump when I was thinkin it was missing. But since my pump may be suspect (can’t think of any other reason for the issue I’m having) if i do get a rebuilt one then I’ll see if I can have them set it...

    Bad Fuel Pump?

    Has anyone ever had a bad MW fuel pump? I’m feeling like I’m chasing my tail trying to figure out why I’ve lost a cylinder. I finished putting the engine together after having to replace #5 cylinder’s rocker arms, but I’m right back to not having all 6 cylinders. First fire after putting it...

    8.3 Engine Timing Pin

    Started it up today after putting most of it together and it ran perfect, but when I went back to start it again after getting the turbo on and it sounded like it had a knock again. Rotated the turbo and disconnected the turbo piping just in case it was boost related but it’s still there. These...

    8.3 Engine Timing Pin

    Need to have this pin working for when I check valve lash before bolting the valve cover down, so much for letting it be for a while if I had to.

    That was the company I purchased mine from, just call them that’s what I did.

    8.3 Engine Timing Pin

    I could leave it as is and be fine for a while, but eventually I’m going to want to know exactly where the timing is set and I can’t really do that without this pin. Buying the replacement is the EASY part, how to get the stripped bolt out is going to be the real issue. Normally I have no issues...

    8.3 Engine Timing Pin

    Has anyone ever had to replace theirs? Mine is missing the pin, and the bottom screw/bolt is stripped out. Just need to know how you replaced it, thanks.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    My time time behind the arc stinger has been limited, but if we were talking about TIG or MIG then I have lots of time there. TIG has been all personal use, but have had several jobs doin MIG. Definite favorite job was welding up the aluminum semi trailers. As long as you know what you’re doing...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    If you’re talking about consistent between different mixes (like different days) I’m not sure, I’ll have to let you know later. If you’re talking about consistent throughout the whole batch, then that went great. Only thing that pissed me off was that some junk fell into the powder as it was...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Got two corner assemblies for the ISO frame that will be mounted to the truck finished today with the help of 98G who brought his arc welder. Welded up and now ready to be welded to the I-beam. For that part though I’ll be welding them together on top of the shipping container so I know for a...

    Adventure Driven's photos and videos of their M1079

    If you’re concerned about $$$$ then stick with the Interstate GC2 210Ah batteries, I get mine from Costco for about $105 out the door including core charges. BUT, if you have the money I would suggest using Chevy Volt/Nissan Leaf/etc... battery packs instead. May not give you as much total kWh...
