You should start as soon as the wait to start light turns off.

I bought this one. It seems to be working correctly. https://www.rockauto.com/en/partsearch/?partnum=36401

I need to find the socket for that sensor. Mine has wires exposed.

There are two glow plugs you can use. The AC Delco 13G and 60G. The 60G is the better plug but it has a wider terminal so your harness will not fit without modification. You probably won't notice a difference in performance so it go whichever route is easier for you. If you go 60G, I suggest...

Anyways, the geometry and construction of the dana 60 axle is especially prone to death wobble. Keep your bushings in good condition. Toe in is necessary.

There are 3 options. The Banks kit which puts the turbo forward on the right manifold. This will probably cause problems with your battery locations. The 90's OEM manifolds put the turbo to the rear end this prevents you from having stock AC. The 96+ vans had the center mount setup which is very...

Got the batteries in and fender on to show the fit of the intake.

Paints are plastic. Treat your plastic lenses the same way you would your paint. Acrylic is infinitely polishable. Polycarbonate does yellow in sunlight and there are limited to how much restoration is possible.

I don't see why it wouldn't. Just don't short shift it. Otherwise I agree, the TH400 with it's tall first is a good compliment to the 4.56 gears. Are the 24 volt starters different? I thought they had the same noses. There should be no fitment issues.

The top large lug on the solenoid is connected directly to battery + and is always live. You can measure the voltage to the starter there. There should be a nameplate on the starter that says what voltage it is. There should also be voltage numbers stamped into the solenoid but these will be...

In addition to the braided grounding strap that connects between the engine and body, there should also be a battery cable between the 24 volt terminal strip and the engine block as well. This battery cable is necessary to carry the starter current.

This guy made the same observation back in 1999. https://www.nf6x.net/1999/12/m44-series-truck-parts-cross-reference/ Metal to metal isn't necessarily a bad thing in filters. Even if oil leaks through the gap, dirt will get caught on the edge provided the gap is small enough. There is actually...

Do know that if you go the Cometic route that there are in fact two different gaskets as they are different for left and right bank.

There has been a global shortage of isocyanates which are a precursor for polyurethane. Maybe the price will come down in time. I have been having trouble getting polyurea greases, too. There is a newer generation of polysiloxane paints that are 1 part and sunlight tolerant if you can't find...

That is AwlGrip pricing. Where are you shopping? What PPG paint? I'm buying International 990 for less than $100 a gallon.

Is it very hot where you're at? I hear batteries only lat 3-4 years in hot climates like Arizona.

If you have batteries your voltage can't shoot up. They will delay the rise and possibly have other issues before you get to 40 volts. I would be suspicious of your gauge first.

0.040" is standard thickness. You need to measure your deck height to determine if the block has been decked. If so, you'll want to run the thicker gasket. It usually takes about 0.010" to clean up a deck. I see you're looking at Cometic gaskets. They require a much smoother sealing surface and...

"Broken/weak valve springs occur considerably more with age as the metal becomes fatigued" I would argue against this because springs are an item that get reused during a cylinder head reconditioning. If that is the case, fatigue is not a factor in their life expectancy. If a spring did fail...

The only error you have made is that your repaired engine is probably going to out live the truck so you'll never get around to building that new one.
