Finished burning in my rock rings tonight and started paint. Came out pretty good. Good idea to grind a bevel or you will end with huge beads hanging off the lip of the rim. Ugly and weak. Also used some clamps to keep things flush while I tacked in place. Reentering the H1's. Used my...

LS motor stuff (LY6): How to not do it.:

Tranny stuff. 6L90 vs 4L80: 6L90 4X4 output. 29sp (same as Dodge Getrag G360).:

Kicking this idea around for a while and finally decided an LS swap is going to work for me. Why? Already have the motor and trans. I got a LY6 with the 6L90, harness, ECU, and DBW pedal for around $3500. Got a few different Holset turbos on the shelf but thinking Ill do a single HX52 just...

I would check for delivery at the IP. This will rule out sucking air and general delivery problems. I think I would even do a temp electric pump just as a trouble shooting tool. Verify delivery to the IP. If its good, and no leaks at any of the 8 output lines or injectors, I would question...

Should be the same as 1028, or so I would think. One of my potential front end part out trucks is a dual tank truck. I hope to score the filler hose/neck, tank, and all the associated plumbing from the heap.

^ yes. This is why I say to check for oil that looks to be coming from behind the face of the turbine wheel (same applies to compressor). Checking for cracks around the WG seat on the turbine housing can be tough without tearing it down and blasting the housing because of the soot and typical...

Not NOS parts, Im hunting for rust free used OEM stuff that's not rotted or dinged to death. So actually a lot cheaper than repro stuff, especially when you factor in shipping.... My rocker and both cab corners from LMC both needed massaging in to fit correctly but nothing I cant live with. I...

Yea Im kind of set on OE parts if at all possible. Finishing up cab corners and rocker with stuff from LMC right now.

The two critical measurements are turbine shaft axial and radial end play. Axial play indicates hydrodynamic layer provided for thrust on the turbine shaft. Radial play indicates hydrodynamic layer provided for the CHRA (center housing rotating assy) to turbine shaft. These are actually the...

Just about finished replacing my trashed rockers and cab corners (84 1028). I have been looking for clean fenders and hood for a while but no luck on the 87 and earlier stuff. I see 88+ stuff looking clean all the time and curious if these parts will bolt in (fenders, inners, hood, core...

Blue = min-spring Green = max-spring Red = "min-max" governor adjusting nut Purple = metering valve Yellow = metering valve linkage When you turn in the idle screw you are adjusting the position of the throttle shaft that is linked to the metering valve. So pretty much moving the metering...

Guys running a 700R4 or 4L60; what did you do about a torque converter? How about TCC lock up, just run a switch or?

Assuming all the obvious stuff is g2g. Try turning in the idle adjust screw before swapping the pump. It should idle up as you turn in the screw. Turn the screw in just enough to make the stalling go away, try about 1/8-turn at a time (I could typicaly power brake and get the syptom to...

Yes, it "was" called MECV. Budget cuts killed it http://www.defensemedianetwork.com/stories/modernized-expanded-capacity-vehicle-hmmwv-mecv-program-is-another-budget-victim/ Looks like JLTV is back online. HMMWV depot recap will continue however.

Next time you have that turbo off it would be worth the time it takes to port the WG flapper seat/port. The WG valve usualy is 2mm larger OD than the port seat ID (sometimes more), you can easily add 1mm (or more) at the port seat, and smooth the port radius, without comprimising the valve to...

Dry starts will never hurt the turbo assuming you get oil pressure to it within a few seconds. At the very most I would opt for a turbo-timer, idles the engine for x amount of time post key-off, to allow the turbine time to slow down, so your not spinning the shaft on dry bearings. The one in...

"IF" the switched hot to the solenoid is dead (just disconnect it for trouble-shooting this...), and its cranking, the contact plate inside the back of the solenoid is welded to the main power and motor jumper lugs. When the solenoid is sent power it acts like a high current relay for the...

You are tracking ^. Check my last post here for some tips if you have never swapped out an ESO before.: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?107068-M998-starts-but-stalls-out-while-slowing-down/page3
