Well, nothing like pulling an all nighter just to have things not go your way in the end! They are sealing the parking lot where I work tomorrow, and I had every hope of driving the 'burb some this weekend.... not gonna happen... I have it running - good news... Bad news - I have no...

now that you have narrowed it down some, I would suggest dropping the dust cover as far as the crossover allows. You should be albe to learn something that way. You can always strategically cut the crossover, and re assemble with band clamps as a temporary measure while you wait for another...

Just because the glow plugs are coming on, doesnt mean they are actually working. Whats the temperature where you are? I know my 6.2 wont start without functional glows up to 70+ ambient temp.

You might be able to drop the cover enough to see in there... plus, usually when the bolts back out, they hit the cover, so you might be able to get it out of the way enough to see if the noise goes away.

It could be one of the torque converter bolts has backed out and rubs under torque.... It wouldnt sound like the typical flex plate breaking noise.

Yeah, after talking with someone at Heath, I have decided the same thing.

Anyone know where I can get some new ones? I seem to have misplaced them in the engine swap I have been working on.

I am planning to remove my vacuum pump when I install the 'new' engine in my 95. The question I have, is when the pump is removed, is it just taken off the mounting bracket? or do you remove the whole bracket? It appears to me that the bracket might provide some additional support to the AC pump.

Do you also carry the set to fit the 99 with the 5/8" line?

Yeah, needless to say I have 2 complete new balancer sets now... 1 for the donor engine, 1 for the wifes Burb. I will see what I can do for some better pictures. I dont intend to pull that engine much farther apart than you see it, as I only needed the oil pan from the bottom, valve covers...

An update to this thread... I bought this Burb from Tin Soldier back in October. in my feeble attempts at getting it to run, I found that it sounded like the timing was off. It would fire, but not really right... and indeed it did have that 'knock' to it. During one of my attempts, it took...

J k auto: what concentration of bio are you trying to run?

How well? I notice most anti-gel additives suggest up to B20 blends only? I would love to find something B100 compatible....

Funny thing is... the majority of our issues have been in winter!!

I bought one from AZ for our burb... it didnt make it a year! it left me stranded at home and out of time, so I got a NAPA replacement for it... seems MUCH better.

So... the other night, we were out to Applebees for dinner. When we left, we took a shortcut across the front of the grocery store next door. Just as we stopped at the crosswalk sign, the PMD decided to do its thing. I popped the hood, jumped out, ran over to the nearest snowbank, grabbed a...

If anyone is interested in the Rochester one, I can probably take a look at it for you.

Matt, I am ringing in the year with quite the pile over here. We got a little over a foot last night, and it really hasnt stopped! Sure wish I had the Burb done... as the ole Blazer is a little loud with one missing exhaust pipe!

PMD was my first guess too when I talked to Steve this morning. I wish I had a known good spare... but it seems all my extra's are now duds :-( (although I have yet to test them myself) Hmm... now that I think about it, I might have an extra functional, if I can find the pump in the snow! (bad...

Ok, I thought it had something to do with the vibration on the hot element. Might be an old wives tale though...
