If you're looking for a shortblock, my 18:1 is almost complete ):h :P I've done a single cylinder replacement on a 6.2L. Absolutely no trouble with that engine until it broke another piston 2 years later(completely different hole). It ran for about 100,000km-150,000km before breaking the...

How much damage to the piston?

Looks like I either destroyed my transfer case or transmission the other day. Driving down the highway when it acted as though I dropped it into neutral. I put it into park after stopping and heard the chatter of the park pin because the transmission was still spinning. I tried the transfer...

Good to hear everyone is ok! In all honesty, I'd rather be driving the smartcar. They handle accidents WAY better than my truck.

I went through the exact trouble with my dads blazer. It was a broken valve spring, lifter, and a bent pushrod. It happened under power, too.

Possible rocker-arm/valve train stuff, too.

I'm gonna play around with propane on my 18:1 engine when it's completed. Still waiting on the short block(kinda getting scared as to what it's going to cost :confused:)

Yes. I spent the $400.00 on an actuator and harness. I haven't had a chance to refresh my memory on installing one of these yet. Honestly, I didn't know about the Posi-Lock system until I read your message.

Mines doing the same thing. I noticed it get weak this summer so I just had to buy a new actuator today. Can't get the old gas ones anymore so I'm stuck with the new electronic ones for 3x the price :eek:

LOL

I don't think it is. Looks like that's just the rise in the frame where the rear axle and suspension goes.

My grandfather was a member of the Royal Canadian Air Force, as well. He was an officer that flew in Lancasters and reached the highest rank possible for a Canadian in the Royal Air Force, which was "Squadron Leader/Commander". His job was Radar Operator/Technician which was a type of Navigator...

As said before. You need to be sure it's actually pumping fuel from the injector lines. When I replaced a injection pump a while back, I had much the same trouble. I would pop the injection line and it would squirt fuel, but as soon as it was reconnected it the fuel would stop. Turned out I had...

That's no head gasket, it's fuel related. I'm fairly sure it's either a weak or faulty glowplug(s). If it were headgasket you would have some of the following symptoms: Hard upper rad hose on cold start, overheating, oil in coolant, coolant in oil, the smell of antifreeze in the exhaust...

I thought DieselPro mentioned something about the actual ESO being shimmed. I never got fuel through the pump again after I took one out of a running pump. Just be sure to double check before you tear that one out. I'd hate to see you have to take the thing apart to get it reshimmed :(
