Winfred when you start to climb the grade are you at or close to 2500/2600 rpm?

Would by keeping the air bags inflated or by leaving the pins in on the air shocks help. I leave my pins in when the truck just sits and no use. My thought was it is better for the air shocks and makes the horse shoe sit higher. No problem latching though.

Good looking job Hank on the motor swap.

Yea got to keep the suspension system tight and right, front and rear never fear.

and the plot thickens. Good to know info above. Ron Swamp Donkey got a good look at the truck. I would start at the trunnion bearings and work out the spension with all good useable stuff replace bad. No bad anything then see what you find.

If it is one turn out then one turn it should be. To get ports right then just adjust the top canister with clamp loose with brakes caged.

You said installed correct. Thought the install of tube was all the way in back out one turn?

My NAPA at one time carried the correct fitting's that just screw in to make the hard line ends push lock. Also I found when using the push lock stuff is to use some O ring lube on the big fuel line inside as it help to get the hose up to the plastic ring easy.

Not to step on toes but I would not use hose clamps with barb fittings.

Grab bars stock. Seats are from a Toyota Supra.

Got the inside of cab just about done. Need passenger side floor mat as someone cut hole in it to let water out. Dumb!

Here are all the parts I used to do a good job. Exhaust manifold, two Yellow O rings for block to oil cooler. One yellow O ring for turbo oil return pipe. Black O ring turbo return block fitting. Small black O ring is turbo oil feed line from manifold. One oil feed line top gasket turbo and one...

I only put two to three threads in never had a extraction problem. Tanks though. OK next up tip. This is the Turbo oil return, block to return tube fitting. Make sure the beveled edge of the tube hole is clean and check your tube hole bore. I just used some steel wool #4 and cleaned it then had...

OK the Tec tips is on this thread. I had some pilot studs I used on the oil pan install. So to make sure nothing moves on install of cooler I used the same thread pilots here. Don't know if it is in a TM but it is a Good idea. Tanks

I like an magnet oil pan warmer too.

I want this truck put in my Grave with me. Then I can look back at it and try not to make the same mistakes on the next go round.

Yes you could try and turn up the fuel if all is correct. I would not worry about a small amount of air in the injector return lines. The fuel has been compressed to close to 3500 psi then the extra released to the open return after the injector popped.

This is the lowest block drain I could find. Drained the radiator first then cleared the block before covers came off.
