Looks like I have been selling mine way to cheaply if they are going for that much. Oh well, as long as I'm making money.

EDIT: I read wrong, sorry . ORIGINAL So the belt wasn't turning the alternator as it should have & wasn't making a squeal? That means it's likely your water pump wasn't running either. As long as it wasn't run for a prolonged time, you'll be fine. Do a nice long load test to be sure all is well.

I thought so. Either way, a lot of people come onto the threads to see & I just figured I'd share the information anyways. Stay warm! It got to 27deg here this morning. Please come get that. Luckily, back to 70's by noon. I like Christmas morning in shorts, outside, having an iced tea. :p

I was just being me! I know not everyone is me, haha. Not everyone gets as excited as I do to just make an old engine come to life or is able to. Beside, I grew up in CT. Even without the physical challenges you have, I'd be hiding next to a wood stove by this time & not wanting to exist. I love...

A disposable cup is what I use. Dump it is the "bad diesel" jug when done, then toss the cup. One less thing in the way in there too!

That is a LOT of blowby coming out of the dipstick hole! Or, the video is not streaming well for me.

I was a little worried I would cause more damage or something as with all of them, I hadn't seen one that stacked up yet! It didn't show any of the other signs of it like the ooz at the muffle gasket, etc.

Home heating oil is just diesel fuel with anti-gel and red dye pre mixed. Same stuff that goes into excavators at the job site up north. I mix PRI-D with everything I have. I have burned diesel that sat for well over a year with no issues. I own nothing but diesel vehicles & equipment. Some will...

Get rid of the horrible controller that comes with it, support a great member here, and do the 30 minuet install. You will save yourself a lot of headache. :)

I let it soak with ATF in both the tops of the cylinders & more. It cleaned a lot out. But thinking one of the valves is not letting a cylinder fire right. Probably all chunked up. Exhaust gets into the crank case. All making sense now...

I have had that chugging intermittently happen for 3 reasons in this order from simplest to worst; -fuel/water separator saturated and/or fuel filter clogged at the top. It will not just separate water, it will absorb it if there is a LOT of it & it will stop the flow of fuel. This mixed with a...

Not a good place to get anything, to say to least. Buy from places & people that help you.

Not to derail the post, but I have a unit that I have almost given up on that spits chunks at 50% and will slowly chug & die at 100%. I never let it go for an extended period, only like 20 minuets. Almost 5,000hrs but otherwise looks healthy. Should I just send it at 50-60% for an hour and see...

Before you go to sleep, run it hard for 20 minuets. When you wake up, run it hard again for 20 minuets. Turning the dryer on will do the trick. I used to do something similar with my MEP-802 at my off grid place when running for days at a time. Load it up with the heater for a bit. 23hrs out of...

When I used solar chargers of any type on these units, I installed an "off" switch to them because they will drain power checking the batteries in some form. This is not all of your problem, but some. Sounds like a bad alternator from here, or belt not tight & it's not turning it enough. The...

I'd have fluids in it & crank it up already. But I can't help myself when stuff shows up. Can usually figure out if it's parts or a project right away. :p

I know, that is why I was saying we have no way to change up have the DCS what to direct the VR what to do. All internal to the DCS. You'd need to flash it in some way.

I did go back & tried what I suggested above with no change in results. Spent a bit more time with it & somehow, I overlooked the fact that the plastic part of the TCM itself had been removed. My bet, is this truck had an issue & it's why it was sent away to DRMO. Even though it is a 4spd, it's...
