I have one on order..back order. But with employee discount, under $100. Anyone have experience with DB Electrical?

Harmonic damper replacement is best done with NAPA tool 2291. This removes the old one and the center bolt is the same diameter and pitch as the damper bolt. Just align the new damper on snout and key, then thread the tool into the crank backwards to draw the damper onto the crank.

No leather? Bummer.

Cold weather will make more noise when the engine is cold. Air is denser and injection timing is advanced. Check for proper warm up that there is no voltage on the green wires to the injection pump. This also actuated high idle speed. Idle noise is the greatest since injection is very short...

No fuel issues at 8 °F. But the starter needed some percussive maintenance.

Finally unlocked the hubs and what happens? More snow. Good news is I found diesel for 2.09, a Quick Trip near my mother's house. just 30 miles away but travel time is over two hours each way. No close calls, just one issue with traction in two wheel drive. Back into four wheel drive for...

It went from bad to worse, weather wise. Rolling blackouts turned to 24 hours or more without power. Burned 18 gallons of diesel and had the 1031 SECM generator supplying 2 other houses. When it is in the teens and you have no power, it sucks. Glad to say we are back on the grid but I...

After clearing all windows, made it into work tonight..even though the GM shut down work. Not everyone has 4wd. Roads are ice covered. Kept speed under 35 MPH. Only spun/slid when testing for traction. Kept it in 4 high. Now 5 inches of snow. All 254 counties of Texas are under a winter...

Nice. Studded too.

Don't forget axle, transfer case, power steering and transmission vents. Without an air compressor system, forget any deeper than the alternators. Deep water forcing operations isn't trivial, the entire system must be designed. The fan clutch helps, it will freewheel when wet and cool...

They will do just fine if you have 16 inch wheels. 1009 isn't but 6500 max GVW.

Thankfully the 1031 air compressor is perfect. I have a 50 foot hose reel and a Milton inflator with gauge. The 1031 is going on a propane run. Have to stay warm

There is a cam on the passenger side of the pump which is on the throttle shaft, it advances timing based on throttle position. It presses on the throttle advance slide, you should be able to move this slide independently of the throttle with the engine running which will further advance timing...

Getting ready for a bad winter storm. Great rubber on the 1031, Cooper Discoverer MAXX ST 255 85 on 8 inch reproduction rims. Now they will pay off.

Diesels do not need BOV as there is no throttle.

Studs are an engineers decision, bolts an account's. Don't just replace, head gaskets are wear items as father time erodes precious sealing materials. When the block is decapitated, it's a good idea to check for any cracks, dye penetrant exam is quick and cheap. Definitely a DIY option...

Hillbilly Wizard has good take off parts. Get injectors plus a line set. The injector line nuts only need 15 foot pounds to seal. Any more risks this failure.

Only the starter and glow plugs use 24 volt, all other systems are 12 volt. The alternators are 12 volt using one for each battery. The back battery and passenger side alternator are 12 to 24 volt, the front battery and driver's side alternator are 0 to 12 volt. This means the passenger...

Interesting. 250 Hp you say? Any other numbers? I am curious on manifold pressure. With a centrifugal compressor, I would assume this pressure is at high engine speed. Positive displacement blowers tend to give boost to compensate volumetric efficiency losses, centrifugal boost higher...

And when you pull heads, the very least should be cleaning and non destructive testing. Magnaflux is shop only, nearly as good is dye penetrant testing. Check mark, again from the usual scumbags and my employee discount The process is easy. First, clean the head with Diesel Mechanic in a...
