    M1010 Lift Ideas?

    That thing looks great!!! I assume this rig was white when Vinny had it, based on the pics. Looks sooo good in green. Mine is white as well and I am thinking of repainting it green as well.

    Normal fuel pressure?

    I don't think there is an issue with too much fuel pressure before the IP, problems arise if you have too low of fuel pressure getting to the IP. As for adjusting your IP, that will be based on your exhaust. Start with what they set it at and then drive it. If under heavy load you are getting...

    M1009 Brake Shoes and Differential Seals

    Oh and if that pin breaks off in the carrier (which I have had happen twice now but not on a CUCV axle) you will need this tool to remove it easily. Worked perfect. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0078U9L8C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Had different engine sound after oil change and replacing radiator, now resolved.

    Not sure if you have a Harbor Freight near you but they sell an oil pressure gauge tester. Pull the sender, screw in the adapter hose and connect to gauge. See what you are really getting. Try putting the old sender back in and see if the light goes out.

    Coolant and Oil Temp Sensor

    No, no issues with the vacuum lines. You have less room to work on that side to install the new port fitting but I was just able to move things out of the way enough to get it all installed. Desert Turtle doesn't have an IG page per say but I do post up stuff I am working on it and my other...

    Coolant and Oil Temp Sensor

    Here's a couple pics for ya 45* hose (before adding clamps). I just cut down each leg to get the right fit Here is the bracket I made to raise the return line and still had to tweak it a little around that one port on the crossover. HUMVEE crossover with Paradox by Design cooling kit...

    Coolant and Oil Temp Sensor

    That lower port is 3/4" npt. I used an adapter 3/4" to 1/2". https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D2GZ6TC/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_Sl-JEbYC0831S Top ports are 1/2". For my aftermarket gauge sending unit, I used 1/2" to 1/8" npt. Also, the angle is different for the port to the water pump. I used a 45*...

    Oil seeping into dash

    Yep, hydroboost leak. Rear push rod seal is likely bad. No idea on how easy to rebuild versus replacing unit.

    Mechanical fuel pump replacement

    Have you cracked any of the lines at the injectors and see if you are getting any fuel to them? Could be the injector pump is bad or something related to the injector pump.

    Coolant and Oil Temp Sensor

    That's exactly why I put in the new crossover tube. I moved rear sensor up to the driver side crossover and put the new temp sensor into the pass side.

    Coolant and Oil Temp Sensor

    I had to use a combo of ratcheting wrenches, swivel sockets and such. It was a PITA but they all will come out. To get the crossover out and new one back in, you have to do a little weird twisting of the tube to get it to snake out. It all will come out and back in. You will want to loosen...

    Coolant and Oil Temp Sensor

    Yes, the crossover fits without removing the pump and fits correctly. The only thing I had to due was to tweak the return fuel line on the driver side, since there is a boss there for a sensor that is not on the original one. The crossover to water pump hose is at a different angle and you...

    Coolant and Oil Temp Sensor

    Yes, coolant temp and oil pressure are the 2 most important items for monitoring an engine. If either of these go out of range (i.e. very low oil pressure or very high coolant temp), damage to your engine will occur. Thinking back, I think the only vehicles I have ever had an oil temp gauge...

    Banks to discontinue sidewinder turbo this month.

    Yeah, they said the same thing when I talked to them at the Adventure Expo back in mid Feb. Turbos are their issue.
