I was asking about your power steering temps using the trans cooler portion of the radiator. I am installing separate trans cooler and considering using the radiator for the power steering like you say you have done with yours.
My question was how the power steering cooler was working and what...
I am considering using the trans cooler part of the radiator for the return line from my steering gear box. I will have another small cooler on the brake return line. I have two of the small coolers but I think I may try to use the radiator instead of one of the coolers
Have you ever used an...
Go ahead and rebuild them both, it is cheap insurance.
However, it was probably the regulator sometimes they work fine until the get some heat in them and then they start acting up. When you take it to test, they don't ever put a load on it long enough to build any heat and thus they send you...
Twin sticks make no difference. They are hard to shift until they are worn out.
switching to 4x4
Truck in neutral.
front hubs locked. Does no good to roll the truck if he hubs are unlocked.
A slight hill helps because you want a real slow roll but still being in neutral.
When going to two...
The IP at proper calibration is pretty much putting as much fuel into the heads with the proper amount of air that the design allows. The amount of additional power when turning up the IP on a N/A diesel is very small and many times takes you backwards.
The only real reason to turn up the IP...
turn it back down and see if it goes away. It may have already been turned up and you just went to far.
The IP is your timing system and will act the same as distributor. You might try turning the IP pump itself in the mount to retard the timing back ( I believe turning it towards the...
Going to be a nice place, next time I am in vegas I will stop in.
I wish I could get a Huey for my dad to fix. His dream was to get one some day and have it for personal use. He was a crew chief for a repair group stationed in Germany. He got to fly everyone of the ones he and his guys...
looks great, only critical item I see is that you tapped into the horn circuit. From what I have heard there are a lot of problems with that circuit already because it feeds a couple other items also. You may be asking for trouble putting more load on that circuit
It may not be an issue but I...
One other thing is it is easy to check compression through the glow plugs. If you have a cylinder pressuring the coolant system it should show a compression difference.
Might try compression test to validate a leak.
I would think it possibly in the alternator it is pretty cheap and easy to rebuild so before chasing the moon I might start with that. The entire truck in essence is a ground loop by design.
Does the noise change with load. Can you switch the heater fan speeds and change the sound?
I assume...
I don't know enough about the internals of the pump but apparently the cover holds something spring loaded down or something from post I have read. I just installed my rebuilt pump but still in process of turbo add so I have not tried to turn mine up. waiting on the build to get done to decide...
seems like the jury is out on this one, my 2cts would be to run a separate trans cooler before I would run a separate oil cooler. But I like the idea of a separate trans, oil and water cooler.
I have a trans cooler being installed as I put things back together on the turbo add. I am also...
looks like the intake side of your turbo is turned toward the motor more than mine. Not sure if it is off a bolt or if it rotates at all but my output of the turbo stands straight up yours looks like it is leaning toward the motor. If you can rotate the turbo output to toward the passenger...

check here: I have the fat shaft with Magnum box on a 4l80e, but they probably have what you need along with all the gaskets to rebuild in a one stop shop
Their stuff is good. I have a lot of it on my truck.

I think you are missing the intermediate shaft. I believe there is a short section of shaft that fits in the spacer. the bolt on the side rides in a groove on that shaft keeping it in place.
The 205 I rebuilt for my truck had a short shaft In that spacer. I do not know what my 205 came off of...
I am installing my used banks setup now, I have to build the cross over. I bought the ORD competition motor mounts and the high clearance cross member from Offroaddesign.com I just finished the motor mount and cross member install. It was not easy getting the old out with the engine In place...
I think other than a temp jb weld fix. you are looking at a head removal to fix it. to silver soilder or braze you will have to have the hole facing up. Very difficult to do upside down.
Jb weld will eventually rust around, same as a screw but probably slower. There is no guarantee how deep...
