    baffled

    Start with the wiring harnesses, incl battery cables, for connectivity - all grounding and termination must be clean and tight, no oxidation\corrosion - battery voltage and power connections must be electrically functional - loads of info on file here vis a vis correcting the various wiring...

    IP or not to be?

    At 219000mi it is likely that the IP, if original equipment, has given up the ghost - also just as likely that the IP harness, defective from the factory and upgraded in late '96, is problematical - check the Stanadyne label on the IP rear facing the intake plenum - black is '94-'95 oem, blue is...

    6.5 TD HELP

    Check the main PCM harness where it crosses the ac line at the bottom of the firewall - look for frayed chafed bare wiring which could blow the fuse - look for similar in the other wiring in the engine bay

    Old wives tale? General turbo question....

    Old wives indeed, and always seems to be a few here, MGW excluded - turbo's spinning, my ankle - it is to prevent rain from entering the exhaust stack - never know when the equip will be parked outside in a sudden deluge, or over-nite, or over a weekend, or Holiday - common sense, dudes: if ya...

    Poly engine mounts

    It is to laff, my friends - anyway, yer oem engine and trans isolators are polyurethane from the factory, just a specific compound relevent to the vibrations inherent in the particular engine\drivetrain setup, and come only in pastel black - while that may clash with yer mauve eye-shadow, at...

    Poly engine mounts

    Ok, no prob, then - just having inordinate amounts of fun with the facts.......just the facts, m'am, to quote Sgt Joe Friday Far as what some people are satisfied with, some brag about 250kmi on original IP, injectors, and timing chainset and having no problems - I've been in traffic adjacent...

    Poly engine mounts

    It's still simple: read the pre-requisite sig to determine installed equipment - oem factory-balanced 21.1:1 Diesel engines meet certain specs within lower\upper tolerance limits - an after-market balanced engine can be set up to exactly meet the specs - adding 18:1 pistons will further reduce...

    Poly engine mounts

    Yep - even the name should be a dead give-away: Polly engine mounts............

    Poly engine mounts

    It's simple: gasser (patooie!) stuff for gassers (you know!) - Diesel equipment for Diesels - they do not interchange, even if similar appearance - live by that rule and you can't go wrong - for those that continually choose to ignore the repeated information on Diesel engines posted across...

    DS4 conversion to DB2

    '92-'93 had DB2-4911 replete with 4L80E trans - is a specific DB2 TPS and stand-alone TCM and wiring harness for those vehicles - can prolly nab a set at a local boneyard - GM had reissued the TCM and prolly the harness, several years back, and is the TCM sold by B&M, TCI, and several others

    FASS vs AirDog.....You Decide!

    FYI: Fass and Airdog are designed by a father and son team - one designed his unit for 18-wheelers - other designed his unit for the Dodges and such - similar concepts, different implementation, both help to eliminate fuel aeration - totally unnecessary on everyday street trucks, they were...
