2013 Haspin Discussion Thread

[jw4x4]

A big piece of cardboard works in a pinch when a creeper is not available. My grease guns (one Lincoln electric and one manual) are both pistol grip types. The lever actuated ones are too much of a PITA.

Thanks for the tip... I'm practically swimming in boxes at the moment from a recent move. I still hate the wiggle though.

 

[rebelcummins]

Yeah, me too. Headgaskets, IP, Injector nozzles, air assist, and find out whats wrong with my R&P in the front axle.

Let me know if you need help "Fred's Diesel Preformance" is always open.

I am replacing my alternator this week. Adding a12 volt setup I got last October and installing a pyrometer so I can adjust the fuel screw. Then replacing ask of my front wheel studs.

Hey got a set of injectors, just sent them in and got a call they test GOOD.

How much did they charge to test? I have a set from tm America and would like to test them

 

[gungearz]

Hey sparky, I think any speed service shop should be able to test those injectors... Shouldn't cost no more then $30. Cost me $50 for them to strip, check, and assemble a big block chevy head.

Your right most speed shops will test diesel injectors but, Muilti-Fuel injectors give out a differnt reading pressure other wise the may tell you there weak or shot.

I have a pop tester.

Any flares this year Gimpy?

 

[swbradley1]

Hey, seein' how they came out of my RUNNING truck I can vouch for them being good.........they came from the '71 that I was driving up until December/November.

I'm not sure. I do know Crusher doesn't want any more!

I wouldn't put any in till I knew they were all at a matching pop pressure.

Ok I will have to meet up with you some time. I want to get rid of the clicking injector I have.

Not tryng to step on any toes on here but, gimpyrob is right. Got to make sure the all pop at the same pressure or youll have a commpression knock, tick, or ting and could in turn damage the piston(s) or sleeve(s). Trust me been down that road....

Sparky, I will send you a PM with a cell number and you can call me when ever, I'm always available for Diesel Engine servicing.

Not sure if I can make it or not. But I was thinking of a trick I learned growing up at the mud drags.

Fill any dead space in the frame an under carriage with expanding foam such as Great Stuff. This is a closed pored foam that will not absorb water, an keeps the mud from packing into places you didn't know existed on your truck, thus keeps from adding hundreds of pounds of mud to the weight of the truck and helps to speed up the clean up. It's paintable too, just in case you're not a fan of yellow! Keeping mud out that you cannot easily clean out will also help to prevent rust in the future.

 

[Durango_USMC]

Tplane37, Thats not too bad of an idea, but I have to ask have you had any issues with the expanding foam pressing out the sides of whatever cavity its filling?

Only if you don't make sure it has an exit point for the foam to expand to. I would NOT go so far as to drill a hole in a sealed tube just to fill it up, because the foam needs to be able to expand and needs a way out.

Think of it like this, if you were to fill what ever void you are thinking of with water, and that water would freeze, would it bulge the surrounding material? It acts a lot like a soda bottle filled to the top with water and then sitting it in the freezer. If the cap is on the bottle when the water freezes it will break the bottle or cap, or it will distort the bottle. But if you leave the cap off, the excess will come out the top of the bottle when it freezes and expands. The same concept applies to the foam.

Once the foam finishes expanding and fully cures, just cut the excess off with a hack saw blade or box cutter. But I would not put it in an area that would prevent the foam from expanding freely. If you are worried about it sticking to something near the edge when it overflows, making tape quirks well to keep it from sticking.

I was just curious because I had heard some people filling in the gap in the CUCV roofs to add a little insulation and noise reduction and it had bowed out a few spots. But pretty clever idea in some of the "dead space" in the body under the truck.
