I was forwarded this article. A new interest in subject? https://www.cnbc.com/2019/07/15/oil-imo-2020-marks-the-biggest-change-in-oil-market-history.html?__source=iosappshare%7Ccom.apple.UIKit.activity.Message

I like the idea of trying to prestretch a belt. They do tend to stretch some after just a little running. Belts, hoses, and brakes should be high-quality parts IMO (don't skimp). The 22105 part no. comes up as a radiator hose on my searches. I have used Gates Fleetrunner belts with some...

I don’t think I threw mine out. Let me check. Anyone feel free to beat me to it I’m super busy this week and won’t be able to get it to Chris til next week at earliest

I have bought 1 piston from this place (but bought a whole engine set of rings). Actually, iirc the set was the same size for another engine with more cylinders and the same price so I had extras which was great because I broke one on install. Yours being a semi-special and low volume is the...

Been watching forums for a good while and this is the first spontaneous starter I have heard of. Mostly its faulty the other way and won't crank. The starter solenoid is pretty big and needs a fair amount of current to operate. I'd be looking for critters that may have shorted some wiring...

This is the bolt. The red cap thingy is the bilge pump. It was just out of reach trying to feel for it. I took a few pictures to find it as you can imagine a couple of pics were blurry and did not reveal anything but they are digital so just erase them. Then thought I need real-time and...

Working on my boat this evening I dropped a SS bolt that went under the i/o engine. So couldn’t get it with magnet pickup tool uhhhggg. It’s tight and can’t really see under engine or get under there. So I had the wife help me. She came down with her phone and I I called her phone on...

So you used it like a mighty vac. I want one of those one day. I like the Motive power bleeder for things like that too. Once used an adaptation of the idea to help start a big diesel truck that had been sitting for a long time. I had a pump up sprayer I put some diesel in then plumbed it...

As far as the Energy Suspension mounts making a difference. I say yes they do. My OE ones were toast at ~ 20 years 262K miles and allowed the engine to shake a bit if you roamed on it coming back to idle. They caused some clutch launch shudder too. I also installed the plastic Duramax fan...

The poly in the clamshells was easy. I drilled out the crimp. I pinched the shells down in a vice andI used some 1/4” bolts to hold them together. The shells have a almost corregation to them that nests between each other to lock orientation together once all screwed down. The way they were...

@Twisted Steel Performance Thanks, Chris. He must have seen this post and texted me he was off and offered to help me with this if I called him. He suggested finding TDC by taking out #1 glow plug then when rotating up To TDC you will fill pressure build on your finger. Yes, that would work...

I installed energy suspension engine and transmission mounts, Timing gears, Fluidamper, and solid crank pulley (also new water pump fan and fan clutch). On test drive 2 gear launch was much much improved. So was reverse. Silky smooth in 1st. I just feel the clutch engage in 2nd. Don't think...

Not quite finished but running. Have a little drip at the quick connect heater hose and need to drain water and put coolant in it (rinsing it out on start up with just water). I just finished: New HO water pump, Duramax fan and new fan clutch, timing gears, Fluidamper harmonic balancer...

Did anyone ever use these ball bearing bushings? https://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/threads/project-white-knight.47777/page-2#post-567774

Ok, I'm down to pulling the HB and front cover but am I at TDC or BDC? I am trying to follow the directions written by Scott Boelman on THEDIESELPAGE - "Phaser Dual-Idler 6.5L Gear Drive Timing Set" . I was a member for a while and feel its ok and seems to be accessible from the open web. Are...

Who is the best dealer nearby (maybe not for you but would help resale). Budget is the biggest issue. I consider older than ~1975 8Fx2R transmissions pasture type tractors good for mowing and scraping fast (if you go that old get one with power steering). A little newer with more gears is...

So this ran away on just added oil from the Turbo? Or did it run away on diesel+ oil + Nitrous (they mentioned they were on spray)? Was there a kill switch for the diesel but it did not work? Did it run out of fuel to shut off or did the oil from the turbo quit? They mentioned the belt...

Did it chafe through from vibration? I had that happen with my first set of oil cooler lines. It didn't even look that bad on the outside. It's like chafing vibration can sorta penetrate a hose internally too. Maybe a steel braid pin holed mine they were the stiff high temp stainless steel...

Nice milestone. Glad she is able to still pull and be useful for you.

It's just a possibility. I had a loose wire in my trailer plug that back fed through my reverse lights and caused me a problem (the truck did not cut off with key off). The frame is basically a big busbar and there are several shared nodes in different wiring circuits. What it sounds like...
