Is not the pump,you sucked air in when you opened the bleed screw. The rocedure for bleeding the system is remove the shut off wire and crank until fuel spits out,than you close the bleeder and hook up the fuel solenoid. Start,if there is air in the system when the solenoid has the rack...
those out riggers should have load holding valves they are there to hold the machine up in the event of a hose failure. so yes you will need a gauge because the load holding valbe will require pressure to over come the valve an move the cylinder. Ive seen load holding valves fail keeping a...
detroits are like Harleys they mark their territory when parked, if it isn't look at your air box drains little ports at the back of the block people some times plug them off to stop the leaking. The problem is detrioit put them there for a reason and that's to drain any liquid accumulation out...
as I remember the m 998 was 20 psi in the front and 25 for the rear. highway handling I believe could improved with more air pressure. where I live the roads are dirt after a good rain the wash board and potholes can be a killer. The softer tires make the ride a little more bearable air them...
The original m998's came with a warn planetary 8 k 24 volt electric winch, they later changed to the mile marker 2 speed hydraulic winch which runs off the power steering pump, and works incredably well.
The good year ires were the only approved tires fro the hmmwv's, running other manufactures tires at the pressure recommended for the hmmwv resulted in tire failure. I tried it with my bfg mt's on my old chevy pu I had 3 sidewall failures before the tread was even 50 percent I went back to the...
As for the injector questions the 3126 uses a heui injector the same as the c-7, the c-7 injectors will require a laptop with cat e-t to install trim codes. The 3126 is a little less regulated and there is no need for cat e-t to change out injectors, just pop one right out, suck the oil from the...
News flash abs or not if your converter is in lock up and you slam the brakes fast enough your going to kill the engine I have seen it done several times on ice and had it happen to me once. It is almost impossible to do it on asphalt by the time the brakes have generated enough friction to lock...
I have seen this exact thing with fuel pump replacements I'm willing to bet the timing is off. If his pump was replaced and not properly torqued to the proper torque as I remember its some high number like 125 ftlbs over time the gear can move on the shaft and one will experience hard starting...
The newest trucks are going to have the c-7 engine and no air ride cab. the c-7 maybe electronicly controlled but its a real workhorse and generaly real reliable. Im no real fan of the 3126 engines I prefer the 3116 engines. the 3126 is also a pretty good engine but the reliability of the 3126...
Back to h1 vs 998 if you have a 6.5 with an electronic pump engine noise will be les because of the timing changes made in the electronic pump the early model 6.5 with a db-2 pump on it will clatter just as much as the old 6.2.
if its missing the gauge cluster it might also be missing the tcm if a-0 model or shift selector pad if a-1 with a wtec III transmission. I don't think you have to worry too much about the truck but finding the cannablized parts could be a challenge especially a wetcII tcm.
common sence would dictate that you might not want to use the full 10000 psi, but working across the cylinder bank you can make it work I have seen it before, I have also seen blocks so rusted up it took six months with a block of wood and daily application of dot3 brake fluid to free up.
With a 2 stroke more hp wont equate to better mileage, the way you drive it will. You could likely do some mods in the shift programing on the transmission to squeak a little bit more mileage out of a tank. the bog problem is you have a lot of big tires and weight miles per gallon isn't going to...
