Oh my
Ok… depending on clarity of the amp is if it should have the MUCH LARGER ground wire return directly to the battery and have a noise suppressor in line. You should have a large connection point for the ground which uses the same size cable as the power going to it. A common trick is a...
Balanced injectors vs unbalanced are a far bigger impact to power than 6.2 vs 6.5.
I wished when GEP started casting they went back to the 6.2.
Bring some old oil incase he doesn’t have enough in there and a compression tester.
Remember there is another option for fuel gauges. If you add an ISOLATOR
You can safely mount a mechanical gauge in the dash. It takes 2 to do the pre filter/post filter thing.
Basically a blader that has a small compartment on either side. It has a fitting on each side of the bladder, one...
The test fluid is best. If there was any REAL diesel fuel out there that would work- but the ethanol wrecks that now.
Straight “base” oil that has no additives is ideal if you can find some, preferably 10wt but anything 50 or under works- the key is finding something with definitely no alcohols...
Unfortunately with it not running you have to expect a garbage engine and maybe trans also.
Any driving truck that will pass a smog test, you have to account for $1,000 in miscellaneous the first year or so. Not running-could be anything.
Have you tried the egg trick? Get the engine warm but not building pressure yet. Crack a couple raw eggs into the radiator. Then just drive.
The egg cooks and once it gets to the leak it expands like expandable foam insulation and seals up the leak (provided it’s a small leak). I learned...
IMO fixing the cruise control is your best investment in time & money for for saving money in fuel used.
Start by finding a schematic for it.
Spray a little cleaner on the cable then spray with some graphite in an aerosol can. DO NOT add oil on the cable.
I don’t use a desktop computer-...
You are 100% correct when a rotor or a drum gets warped from heat-
IT IS NOT FIXABLE- REPLACE ONLY. You can’t turn them to eliminate it.
This is the opposite effect of chryogenic treatment. You overheated it then altered the temper by letting it air cool.
You can look into an HHO generator but only if you are already invested in premium quality batteries and plug into a battery tender nightly- many that have them swear by them. Scientific minds say it is just turning the electricity from your house into dc power of your battery then the water...
Have you done TIRE CHALKING to know you have right tire pressure for YOUR VEHICLE? Tire pressure on the sidewall is to max out the weight capacity. And as you know airing down helps with traction offroad by giving a longer footprint of tread on the ground.
If your tire is too wide for what...
with the numbers you are getting- idk if wmi will help much. If you gave egt gauge(s) you could report number on- we would know if it would help.
The way most folks see an improvement is not just using water but the original term of wmi Water/Methonal Injection is the gains from cooling and the...
When we spoke on the phone, you were sure it was front axle chattering.
If not sure, get a line plug and seal the line for the rears. Test. Then swap plug to front and test. Doing this you will be eliminating the plugged axle from braking so keep speeds minimal.
No. Tbi should be easier on the rest of the engine than a carburetor IF it is working right. Tbi does not impact valve spring tension.
That engine looks completely wiped out.
At this point I would consider full rebuild vs replacement. Pull the block out & apart to inspect. Get pricing...
