OK, cleaned most of the grounds today, got the one unhooked from the bellhousing bolt and back up on the intake where it belongs. Got the frame grounds. need to clean the firewall ground. Changed fuel filter, looked OK. last ditch screen gone, put a good used one in. Possible the IP inlet...

Nice find! On your tach not matching the supposed ratio, double check the glovebox codes to see if axle tag and original build match, and if so, check alternator pulley. if it has gasser pulley, that could be why its off. On the diff oil, 80w90 is supposedly 3,000 mile change intervals, 75w140...

OK, back at it since farming is about done for the year. I put a new positive cable (pass batt to starter) in, that helped a bunch. along with better batteries. Now I am getting fuel to the injectors, seems to go in cycles, some times it smokes good, other times not so much. Spraying a little...

sorry, yes, the metering solenoid. Not shutoff. The burning up due to incorrect depth might explain his current situation, lol. I assume anyone that is eating PMDs could be caused by a improper depth FSO?

Hey all, Has anyone successfully changed a fuel solenoid on a DS4? Got a buddy that has a bad one, ohmed out bad. Pump ran awesome prior.

Nothing yet. :) back burner project ever since wheat harvest hit, I did get the 95 GMC K2500 back on the road (Genuine Bosch new injectors and AC Delco 60G glow plugs, new valley hoses, FTB, low mile GM8, and new batteries and ALL battery cables with the bolt mod, cranks sooo much better. Then...

I picked up a GM set for 80 bucks off Amazon, I threw my back out earlier and am still recovering, so no door man-handling for now, hopefully can get them installed before too long.

I would definitely send them back if you have the option to. Normally I am a big GM/ Delco OE parts fan, but it seems they take the cheap route on suppliers for alot of the 6.5L fuel system. Much better off to get a set of new Bosch from Leroy.

Is the EGR system still intact, even though the vac pump is gone? If so, need to delete that crap, I "think" but dont know, that the EGR valve needs vac to hold shut, so if there is no vac its always sucking exhaust. Advice: Stay calm, dont get stressed, sounds like the previous owner did some...

How crusty are your battery cables? last two no/slow crank 6.5Ls I have messed with have been cables.

Any more input on this? Looking at a 5521S and its was a no-go from the start for the owner. He paid 1200 and is accepting offers. I am debating about offering 200 bucks. I think he will take it if I do...

So, did anyone ever get a set? If so, thumbs up, or down?

a truck that looks nothing like 99 percent of the ones on the road deserves a plate that 99 percent dont understand. :)

Mine as well.

Pleeease put an Allis Chalmers vanity plate on it. :)

Nice color scheme! :) 26K on the 400K+ 95 in signature.

I dont always use 4wd, but when I do, Its once a year or so, and it usually ends up in me being frame deep with false trust in the abilities of a transfer case equipped vehicle... :) the (2) 3/4 tons (93 and 95) are open diff, and are a huge disappointment in 4wd. my 06 Duramax with highway...

tagging for extreme interest. :)

What about split power on cruise? Thin the 430/470 Detroit diesel. 430 on the foot feed, 470 on cruise.

Got a buddy with a 17 with the manual that loves it, but probably not enough miles to know how it will do long term. He is a hyper-miling freak that can squeeze some impressive numbers out of it. From Denver back here to KS its flat and downhill, I think one run with a decent tailwind he...
