Nice little town. I used to work at Pardee Dam outside of Valley Springs Ca.

Mine has a air ride seat so I can lower it down..........now relocating that queer parking brake lever is a post Id be interested in reading.

That ammo (beans) look real good. Excellent mother in law repellent.

Im usually at 6-800F going down the road, but I dont have perfectly flat roads and more often than not, they are gravel, dirt, and pot holes with their own zip codes. But Hey, it keeps the gimmedats away.

I got my pyro alarm set at 1150F and set my fuel accordingly when pulling a steep hill with my foot into it in 5th gear.

That sux.....I moved from Ca upon retirement, and they are still passing laws there that would make Lenin proud.

welcome from Bonners Ferry, (actually 15 miles east North east)

I deleted mine like the video you posted. I found that a metric oil drain plug from a car (subaru?) fit . I was thinking about putting a glow plug in its place instead of a plug, similar to the Ford Power stroke diesel air intake heater, but haven't been able to find a 24vdc one without "bending...

everything on my truck that holds oil leaks. Engine, transmission, transfer case, differentials....all seal leaks. The FP also weeps a little diesel under it too. Not bad, but I don't have to worry about rust under it. I run the truck with a load in it on fire roads, so it works pretty hard. It...

@ Hank...BTW your truck is super clean. I got some good mod ideas from your build for my truck.

the one turbo is flipped. air side is at the rear, the one in this pic has the air side in the front. 1989-91 cummins 5.9 were not all intercooled. Also follow the air intake manifold to the turbo, it would be going to the front of the engine if it was intercooled, as the intercooler would be...

be because yours has a intercooler, and the other one doesn't......

S Same here.....the 71 series was the cats meow in my days.. I went looking at the 8V92's and it seems there are a few different type of intercoolers depending on application. one looks easy to set up a test, the other...not so much. Hopefully he finds the source, and its easy to fix.

cap a hose on the outlet. put a short hose on the inlet with a air fitting, then a ball valve, and a gauge, and then pressure it up, with about 5psi, shut the valve, keep a eye on the gauge.

He He can pressure test it without pulling the turbo and blower too.

BT you don't have to pull the pistons at the same time. You have to unbolt the rod caps, then shove the piston out the top. Ive had the liners come out with the pistons sometimes too. theres only a o ring holding it in place. A puller plate at a few thousands under the liner od at the bottom...

Its been 40 years since Ive pulled liners, but I think that you can fab a puller with plate, all thread and pipe if you have access to a lathe.

theres a lot of copper there. I just purchased a small 50' roll of 10-3 romex......it was 85$. Radiators have to be sized to engine Liters, and physical size/fittings, so Big engines need more copper.

How many denero did the radiator set you back?

If coolant isn't getting into the air side of the intake, I'd clean it up and JB weld it. Maybe someone who has a spare one can look in it and comment.
