    Changing EFI Fuel Injectors

    You'll be fine. Fuel Pressure is down. You could drive it into the garage, shut it down and go to work without fuel pressure worries.

    Changing EFI Fuel Injectors

    If you haven’t purchased the socket yet, here’s the type I have. 3/8 square Drive or, 7/8” wrench. Leroy and Quadstar used to rent them but I didn’t see that offering on their sites this a.m. A couple of sources. https://otctools.com/products/detroit-diesel-injector-socket or another...

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    Leaving the races yesterday with my Navy Brother Jack and waiting in line to get in line to get in line to leave. Suddenly there's a guy at my window saying, "hey is that motor a transplant"? Diesel in a half-ton questions, you know the deal. Said he and his buddy heard my diesel coming and his...

    About ____ time for it too. Still got snow tires on the wife’s Golf.

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    For those scratching their heads at the ‘Blue DEF” on the tailgate, it’s what’s left from when I had the Touareg and I’m taking it to my brother whom I’m going to the races with. He’s got a 2017 Silverado…nice ride.

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    Loaded up with the big grill, chairs, cooler, etc. and headed out in a head/cross wind towards Vegas. Going to watch the 4-Wides this weekend with family. They wanted to try the Nellis Air Base RV site vs. hoteling so, they got a trailer and I decided to rent a Motor Home for 'camping'...

    Changing EFI Fuel Injectors

    My last set of rebuilt "Bosch" injectors supplied from a locally reputable diesel shop wouldn't pop until well after 32-3500# psi and then they just pissed streams. Yeah, no thanks. Not unless you can get them pop and spray tested.

    Seems like a huge misrepresentation

    Hate phone apps. Looking at it I dumb-thumbed the add to cart link!!! Carefully open the cart (and ONLY open) and “remove.” The old adage of “keinen finger-gepoken unt mitten-grabben” currently applies to me far too often.

    bad 6.5 crank and 6.2 donor?

    True. My block is a 6.2 and the Scat crank was turned down to accept the two piece rear main seal. FWIW, the oil pans for one piece and two piece rear mains are different too.

    Service Throttle soon

    @94 Woody, If I haven't seen your username earlier, welcome to the forum. My throttle went completely dead after a few days of slow/no response episodes. STS light illuminated. Fortunately, a restart got me going but, the issue wasn't fully re-solved until swapping out the PCM. FWIW, I miss...

    wiring diagram for DS4 injection pump (6 pins)

    If you're referring to the Optical / Fuel Temperature sensor on the DS-4's top, front... ...this is a pin out and diagram I was able to locate w/o a more exhaustive search of my 97 manuals which, I seriously doubt, there's been any changes since the IP hasn't. The Stanadyne DS-4 manual I have...

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    Took the truck in for its annual tire rotation. Was stopped by the new manager, an employee and a customer to ask about the 1/2 ton diesel. The employee (20-ish) said he didn't know they put diesels in 1/2 tons "way back then." Great! Let me put on my grey ZZ Top beard and lean on a cane so I...

    Engine fire wall?

    Built my own transmission lines. 3/8” braided and 6 AN fittings. Then, the 6 AN to whatever the transmission, cooler and Radiator fittings are. I don’t trust my recollections so here's a couple of pictures. 90* fittings at the Transmission Radiator Connector

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    Crossovers and t-stat...might as well get all four corners “while you’re in there.” Address only one and the next weakest one standing in line will let go in a week/month.

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    Made the truck my daily driver. 2016 Touareg is GONE. Too many quirks but mainly emission issues over the past 2 years. DEF injector leaked down and filled the CAT in 2022. Last year it was the Particulate Filter that coded off and on for months; put me in limp mode and took over 100 days to...

    Where to put PMD with intercooler

    You could try a bumper mount. Only fab up additional support to avoid stress cracking the heat sink from vibrations. From a previous posting on the topic. First picture was using just one Air Dam attachment point/hold. Second Picture: I'd drilled two holes. Even with that small of a heat sink...
