IF the original issue was smoking orifices then wouldnt going to atmosphere (less vacuum from the intake) make more smoking from the other orifices? If the intake pulls a vacuum then that would decrease the amount of blowby coming out of the dipstick, wouldnt it? I have blowby comingout of my...
Just a bit off teh subject but I hear about the ATT and the HX40II as the predominant aftermarket turbos for 6.5. Can I get some info on the two? opinions on which is better? I know ATT bolts in how about HX40II? Pros and cons of each? Any input on each?
I bought a 92 cab to replace my 94 with heavy roof damage. I was playing with the dash removal and got to the instrument cluster. It comes out very easy as the electrical quick connect plug stays attached to the dash. It has a clip on each side that gets depressed and allows it to come out...
Interesting, how does the computer like the ffm not being there doesn't it have the wires fire the water in fuel alarm?i don't really need a fuel heater being in California. Any opinions?
Handcannon, i did look at mine today. I see what you see and measured it, about 2.5". I think of you put the sump up front then you could do a skid plate from the drivers side that just hands pat the tank and goes up front to the tabby cross member.
As a crane operator i am familiar with some diesel filtration like racor filter and thought about doing that but then it occurred to me that i already have water separation and fuel heating in the FFM. I have seen a lot of info about upgrading the LP and then supplying a filter for the LP but i...
How about a skid plate under the tank to protect it. Doesnt really even have to be very thick, just a smooth surface so that foreign objects have nothing to catch on. they just slide on by.
Looking at the link that Leroy put up. The small Walbro puts out 45GPH. I have a 30+/- gallon tank and it takes hours of the engine giving everything to burn that much fuel. Why would someone need more pump than that, yet Walbro alone has one or two bigger pumps. Who's truck can burn 45GPH? Is...
Thanks Pave. You know I started really intimidated by a lot of this but assuming that there arent exotic threads to get in the way everything can just be fitted up really clean. Even if there are exoctic threads...just get a machine shop to make a fitting. Maybe easier said then done. I have to...
What exactly is in the tank? I figured just the straw with sock and then the level indicator but then saw the upgrade component on the AD site and thought maybe there is more there. If the Walbro is enough then I was thinking of a sump and run a custom bent hard line (I bend SS tubing at work)...
THanks Pave. I get it the AD has a harness that goes to the fuse box or somewhere up there and just disregards the harness that is there for the stock pump.As seen on my avatar pic, I have a 9600 lbs horse trailer and when it is loaded with horses and what not it should be 14K-16K. There is a 2...
You know I was oringinally going to do that, it seems real simple. Is the AD air separation thing a big deal? is it snake oil so to speak? It sounds to me like in your opinion that one wouldnt need more than walbro? Walbro is just the line and out correct? I think I read that it uses the factory...
So if I go with something like the AD (that doesnt have a 6.5 style harness, I think) could I just snip and couple wires to AD? Is there more than a hot and nuetral in the harness? How about cutting the harness off of the stock LP that I have now and the connecting it to the AD and then wuick...
Thanks BTfarm. I started all of this with Heath and I would sure like to not pay so much. That being said... if I had a Dmax I would be paying a bunch as well to modify. In my past I have cut corners and tried things on my own only to have to buy another and work it/figure it out.When I dont...
So with an AD system there will have to be a return line fabricated to go back to the tank? If there was an aftermarket sump installed then the return could go back to the original fule lift line correct?
