Hey man - I believe you may have posted in the wrong thread. This is my rebuild thread. It has nothing to do with marker lenses.

Yeah it sounds to me like something is going on with that sensor. There are 2 wires coming out of the sensor, so I would suggest tracing those down to make sure there are no issues there. Do you still have your old sensor? Was it working before it was removed? If so, I would reinstall it to...

I suspect the issue is your new glow plug sensor. That sensor, and that sensor alone, controls when the glow plugs come on and when they go off. When the engine reaches a certain operating temperature, the sensor causes the glow plug circuit to shut down. They are currently cycling off and on...

I mean no disrespect, however after reviewing your photos, that is just about the biggest mess I have ever seen under the hood of a CUCV. I wouldn't know where to suggest you start, maybe parting out the truck and starting over with another one in better shape. And your firewall. What the...

This is the fuel pressure gauge I am installing - https://www.autometer.com/2-5-8-fuel-press-0-15-psi-w-iso-mech.html Regarding the marine injectors having an inferior spray pattern, squirting to one side, clogging up, yada yada yada. It sounds to me like somebody is wanting to sell you stock...

Fuel shortage? Which injection pump are you running? In order to feed a fuel supply to satisfy 250 HP you may need to consider a marine pump. A 250 HP fuel supply will be at the top end of the OEM pump's capabilities. In fact I am not sure you can get that much fuel out of an OEM pump. For...

Keith - Thank you for that great write-up.

Rick - have you let her out yet?

I suspect there are more horses in there. Just need to turn up the fuel a bit and play with the timing. I imagine the engine builder wants to stay on the safe side till the engine gets settled in.

Duuuuudddeee........ this thread is FIVE YEARS OLD ! C'mon man !

Rick - you say you SPRAY that stuff? Would you care to be more pacific? The Amazon ad is for a brush product. Say, I really like that chrome-plated funnel on the table behind them those jugs.

I haven't progressed that far yet with Bullet. However their 6.5 unit is not something they "just came out with". They currently have many units running on 6.5's, so evidently they have addressed the matter. I will re-post here when I have answers.

Have you identified the exact Whipple unit you plan to install? I would ike to look at it and compare it to the Bullet. Thanks.

I have already measured things out for my M1028 CUCV truck. No problems there. The top of the blower is no higher than the top of the air cleaner. Regarding one of these in a HMMWV, I found an article on the subject which seems to indicate that it would fit with no problem -...

Ahem, my rebuilder IS Bowtie. Chris Gardner is, in my opinion, one of the most knowledgable in the business on transmissions. I purchased a Level 2 K-case from him a couple years ago and bolted it behind my new P400, which is still sitting on my engine stand awaiting to be installed into my...

This is the best stuff I have ever used. On all my parts, I usually media-blast them in my cabinet and then immediately spray them down with this product. The liquid runs into every nook and cranny. I wipe off the excess and allow them to thoroughly dry and then spray prime them with red...

Bowtie's 765R4 is the ultimate transmission, no doubt. It has a base price of $3700. Their Level 3 700R4 is almost as strong at $1950 and should provide ample strength for a HMMWV 6.5. Just saying.

Thanks for the reply. Just so you will know, and for the benefit of all SS members who may happen to read this, the Bostic engine is not a NEW GM engine but instead is a remanufactured unit. I hope you enjoy good service from your engine, as there have been others who have not. Maybe some of...

Thanks for the update. For the benefit of all SS members, it will be helpful to provide information on your new 6.5 Optimizer NAVISTAR engine. Where did you purchase it, the price, warranty, what was included (long block only?), shipping costs, etc. Please remember that the main intent of...
