It played a small part in it. They were new injectors from "Memphis Equipment" not recommended. Still not following how timing caused or contributed to the failure of the injector. Who is the manufacturer of the injectors?

A good overview can be found here: http://www.fastenal.com/content/feds/pdf/Article%20-%20Screw%20Threads%20Design.pdf

Fastenal has a line of grade 9 nuts with Ecoguard coating that withstands 1000 hours of salt spray. However, the thread class is 2B.

OK, it was just a injector failure; nothing to do with timing.

It takes 3k+ psi to open an injector; how does an engine develop enough combustion pressure to force it open and damage both the injector and line?

Thanks. It's a 3B.

I am doing head gaskets on an LDT and thinking about replacing some of the rustier nuts. Anybody know what class of threads the stock nut has? 2B, 3A or ?

Yes, it is an OH200. A very nice engine. They seem hard to find but I do know where a few new ones are. Hard to say on fuel consumption; probably depends more on load than anything else. The guy I bought it from had one in a Reo truck that he drove on the interstate to truck shows. I don't...

I've had good luck with Olsons for my reo 400. However, it should be easy to make a gasket this simple.

This has been THOROUGHLY debunked as false. The sprag is a wear item and, given the age of the trucks, is simply worn out. There is a section in the TM on how to measure the sprag segments. I have measured two different transfer case sprag clutches (fwd section) and each was worn out...

Can you point me in a direction?

In case you are curious which rod bolts you have, look through the rearmost oil drain plug hole.

If your system voltage is dropping under load, it seems like the problem is not adjustment of alternator voltage but rather poor connection or weak alternator.

The only issue that I can think of is that the slave cable conductors (at least the ones I have seen) are smaller than battery cable conductors and you may have excessive voltage drop if trying to start in cold weather.

Never got electrical burns til I contacted 750VDC. My wife heard the commotion (I broke a vacuum tube), asked if I was OK, and could apparently tell I was lying by the tone of my voice. I never built a circuit again without bleeder resistors on the caps (now at 1kV).

My body has a resistance of ~8MΩ (left hand to right hand; across the chest). You would need a resistance of 14kΩ to get 1mA at 14V. Unless you impale yourself on your battery, I just don't see it happening.

Found this; no idea if it is correct: "General Motors and Chrysler do not mention brake fluid in their scheduled maintenance recommendations. A General Motors spokesman said Delco Supreme 11 DOT 3 brake fluid contains additives than many other brake fluids do not, so it is essentially a...

Can you provide any examples? With wet hands/ body, I can just begin to feel a tingle (this would be 1mA). This is a long way from electrocution.

This is not an OEM requirement; it is a dealer suggestion (probably an attempt to drum up business). BTW, I checked the owners manual from my wife's 06 Pontiac; doesn't list brake fluid replacement either. :confused:

I believe yearly flushing with DOT 3 in a vented system is better than putting in DOT 5 and assuming all will be fine thereafter.
