Welcome to The Truck Stop. You have a nice looking truck. There is a ton of useful information here and many contributors to help with any problems you have. Good luck with your project!

This is my first experience with an IP going bad and I'm curious what I can expect to happen next and how much time I have before it happens. For a couple of months I've begun to experience difficult hot starts. I don't know how many miles are on the IP, but the truck is now nearing 250k...

My question has sparked comments by some great minds here. Thank you for the suggestions, all of which are dead on to what I've been thinking and trying to rule out as possible issues. The bumper mounted PMD has not yet been ruled out, nor has the ext cable. Rather than screwing around piece by...

After reconnecting the PMD on the injector pump and putting about 100 miles on it with numerous stops/starts it has not once thrown another code. At this point I am thinking that I've found the problem. Any predictions on whether it is the PMD or the extension cable? To further isolate the...

After a quick read of my post I have to laugh that I talked about bleeding the fuel, bleeding the abs, and my username is bleeder. Didn't think about that when I chose the username, it is an old term for hemophilia :)

The old one was still mounted to the injector pump and I had been running it for almost a year without a problem. Further background for why I started suspecting the PMD or cable - about two months ago I started noticing an intermittent fishbiting while accelerating. I hadn't experienced this...

Hooked up the old PMD, not fun. After about 15 minutes of run time it is showing no DTCs. Headed off for about a 50 mile ride. We'll see if this worked or not.

Anyone have this happen? Last couple of days my 'burb has started throwing a bare P0216 code, no other codes. It infrequently will run rough after idling at a long stop light, almost to the point of stopping. After it bucks/lurches, it will idle again. Driving it seems to run fine. I deleted the...

WarWagon has so much knowledge that I really hesitate to suggest anything different. But it appears the Total Seal website lists our 6.5 engines under "VIN F, S, Y INCL TURBO" with a bore size of 4.055. The part number for the gapless second ring sets appears to be S4474 and seems to be...

Jody, thank you for the pics. That looks like a very nice pan. I've always had good luck with Moroso pans. The real thing was always far better than any of our homemade imitations. Leroy, thank you for the honest reminder of the reship cost. That cost wasn't close to being on my radar screen...

We need pics of the 4x4 oil pan Leroy. And price of course $$$$ I am very interested in following your build as I have been contemplating the same setup. Maybe you can offer a built version of the P400 with all the extra punches as well as the stock version? Happy New Year!

hookedup50, did you take a look at Hewitt Industries? Your post made me think of them. They list an engine protection system (kit 191-500) that will give an alarm and 30 seconds later shut down the engine for low oil pressure, high coolant temp, and low coolant level. Their website claims easy...

Oh, man, if I had only known that Leroy offers curb service I would have ordered fries with that hose! Thanks to Leroy's quick shipping I got the hose in time. But, postal service was running three hours late that day and rain was threatening. I hustled and less than two hours after the new hose...

Thanks everyone. Yes, GM Guy, luck has been good other than a few mistakes I've made. The batteries that were in it are almost new Intersate MTP-78DTs which I plan to run until they die. They seem to be doing well so far - after getting a little water into them. I think that the one sat on a...

Little doubt that the edge of a harmonic balancer spinning at a couple thousand rpm can be an efficient cutting machine. Of course, it was the upper hose so I had to disconnect the lower one to get to it. I had just removed the filter and adapter to tighten the lower hose a week ago, arrrgghh...

Leak Found Found the source of the leak in my engine oil cooler hose. :mad2: I don't think that smooth ring on the front edge of the harmonic balancer requires any further explanation: I managed to get my hand under the balancer to feel the hose and promptly stabbed my finger with a...

Thanks everyone. Leroy came to the rescue, of course. Replacement hose is on the way. And, yes, I will triple check to make sure the leak is not coming from above. When I can confirm what happened I will let you know.

Sorry, should have been more clear - it is a braided stainless replacement engine oil cooler hose. As you suggest, JMJNet, I think I am just playing with fire by trying to patch it up for the weekend.

Need suggestions for a quickie fix or tell me I'm only looking for more trouble. It looks like one of my stainless oil cooler hoses is leaking at a point where it crosses over the sway bay almost directly beneath the harmonic balancer - I'm guessing that I goofed on the install and somehow there...
