The gm and first navistars had gaskets, butas Chris mentioned the p400 didn’t. I am wondering if there is s depth difference in the timing cover mounting face to the block on p400 vs gm. I’m convinced the axles were pinched. The axles have to float freely, if they get pinched the axle binds...

Welcome. I suggest starting by filling out your signature line with rigs and any modifications-Marty did a good example.

Can ya figure a way to test them? I never rebuilt that type, is that doable?

I would chip that bolt head off in a heartbeat. Grinder thin wheel or sawzall. Then yeah drive in the new one the intelligent direction. Thanks engineer #6 who didn’t care about maintenance!

Saved from the south end of Texas!

I ran mechanical fuel pressure gauges in the cab for years, as did many friends. It all worked great until it didn’t. The tiniest of leak made it spray a fine mist. One fire later and a buddy of mine is tearing me a new hole about-why do I want to spend months in the burn ward like he did… I...

I wish I knew which to recommend. For instance, auto meter was always considered an acceptable entry level gauge. Those start at $300 now and are from china & have a higher failure rate than ever before. They have some cheaper but like Marty experienced with the glowshift- the sensors fail...

Sorry, I hit post on accident. Anyways- if you run power from the battery to that pink wore terminal , that is same as having key on. By putting power there and cranking engine over- you should get fuel to the injectors. If you are replacing glow plugs- remove the old ones, then send poser...

Welcome Jason. I’m no good at finding info online & have no old books on these anymore outside my hummer manual- and it’s definitely different. back in the days at the dealership & fleet- there never was a single kit for the harnesses. Glow plug harness is separate- a really good one is a...

Yummy! Sorry to hear but glad you found out the issue. The drawback of filtering down fined is it works the liftpump more so keep an eye on that, and for folks living in a freezer, the finer filter is where the gelling occurs so a heater becomes more of a requirement. Something lacking on the...

But the ATT, A Team Turbo, is double the size (or more) of the ATS, has NO wastegate, etc. Thats why boost is a horrible reference unless two engines are built the same with same turbo, running same altitude, same gear ratio, etc.

@dbdiesel I have added turbos to both 6.2 & 6.5 that were naturally aspirated. I never had good response from them until I turned up my fuel on the db2. It’s not a hard task, requires no money spent. If you don’t know how I can post a link to a video. Contrary to some info out there, it...

Yeah, if no specific reason to keep it, ai would sell it off. You can always turn around and buy a different lil run around car once there. As for what parts to buy/ swap- belts and hoses are something usually neglected. On the hose clamps- buy high quality not low cost- clamps fail more...

I would think you should be able to call them and ask for rental services near you- But figure out: 1. if you sell it as is, how much $ do you get. 2. How much can you sell it for if running right. 3. Wild guess cost of repairs- say $1000? 4. Towing it will cost you extra fuel of getting...

That was my thought on the sound. Hence the question about firing out both…

On that car- everything starts with reading a computer that controls it. Stop firing parts cannon- diagnose. Codes? Is that backfiring out the exhaust, intake, or both?

I had a problem a couple times. What I did was do a screenshot of the picture. Then post that screenshot. Just click top button on each side wt the same time.

I would say start a thread in the gasoline engine section. But I know those 3.4 eat sparkplugs and when they don’t get changed in time they wile out the coils. Check your codes. P300 random cylinder misfire, p301 is cylinder 1, p302 is cylinder 2, etc. often just a new set of plugs, using...

Yes, speedway is a resller of tools & parts. Excellent service..

I agree with above- Yes 75 mph is ok. But also- if you keep this rig you will HAVE TO become a proficient mechanic for it. There just aren’t many mechanic shops that deal with these anymore. The only saving grace is you have a db2 instead of ds4 ip. This is what TSP is reasoning...
