for a tach there should be a sensor atop of the engine behind the intake in the valley where on a gasser a distributor would go. that cam sensor provides an RPM signal to the PCM for the trans to shift. that is if you still have the factory trans. if you get a schematic for your truck it...

I apologize not being online much lately. It's funny how life keeps you busy :)

Hey guys, I'm still alive and kickin! Our town wasn't too bad. water got up and flooded our yard and street but didn't make it into the house. garage got about 2ish inches inside. Here's a few photos of our yard that morning and some my daughter sent us off facebook of our street...

Hey guys, I've been off for a little bit, but still around. just filled up the black truck with fuel this afternoon. Been driving it just about every day even with the worn out engine. funny thing is that my oil consumption has slowed to a crawl now. I really haven't opened the hood in...

Here is the factory style kit off the jungle site. you won't need the gaskets but the hose and plugs are all pre-cut to length. https://www.amazon.com/Delphi-7135-274-Fuel-Injector-Installation/dp/B002M1D4PI

WOW! I haven't been on here in a few days and look at all the excitement I missed!! in a pinch, go to home depot and get the small orangish color clear tubing I forget what size it is but it's in the plumbing section. it will push on without clamps and work for a while. iirc that much flow...

Looks like it's nothing but zddp and moly mixed together. I would send a virgin sample to an oil analysis lab to see what's in it!

Safe travels

From the looks of the compression fittings on the end of the rubber hoses, I would assume the rubber has been replaced at one time or they were just cut on the one end to pull the engine out for work. I don't trust compression fittings. a few years ago I had a hydraulic hose made with...

which side of the frame is it leaking? driver or passenger. what I noticed in your other photos was that the oil cooler lines have what looks like a compression crimped to the hoses and compression on the aluminum lines. on the other end (frame) looks like the original crimps can't tell if...

on the pics you posted I could not tell where you ground out on the pump to match the ports of the backing plate. can you post were you ground into? on that one that you said wasn't cooling well it kinda looks like the impeller is slightly out on the shaft where the others look like the shaft...

I bet the real one wouldn't leak! but I do think it's all about the filter material on how well it does. during my "experimenting" I used some oil absorbent material what we call elephant tampon which is a sheet of loose fiberglass cloth. that stuff can be laid in a puddle of water with...

HAHA since I have been getting into 3D printers (my daughter got me into them) just bought one... I found this online! it's design is very similar to a provent 200 only it has it's own internal mesh and swirl chambers. I would be curious if I could scale it up to fit 1" hose and see how...

on yours did the top cap separate from the inner piece? mine came detached and you have to pop the inner part with the o-ring in the housing then put on the cap. the top of that inner piece has a spring loaded relief that is supposed to push open when the internal pressure goes high but...

on the real provent that cover on the side houses the check valve. on the CKO version I have, that cover is not removable and it's hollow in there leading to the filter. iirc that check valve is supposed to close if there is too much suction on the intake side. same as how the CDR works.
