Somebody save Ole Yeller!!
No time to fix, and wife/daughter had an "invervention" regarding my old truck and me...
They have lost confidence in the vehicle (they tow horses to horseshows and just cannot be stranded)
Listed now in Classifieds. I'll miss her!
If I can't get $2500 for...
Found a 02 Durmax 2500 Ext cab with less than 100k for $16k. Carfax shows 1 owner and only oil changes at local dealers.
Thoughts?
Anyone want to make an offer on my 97 3500 crewcab WT? I've got an easy $10k in new parts (see sig), plus cost of truck, but I do believe it needs head gaskets
Reman engine was a complete unit from Promar. It came fully assembled with those new heads, so I couldn't tell you anything about the head bolts etc.
Any recommendations on "bullet-broof" HG's?
Anyone try or hear about the "Cometic" high end ones?
Are they really worth $100 per side?
Truck has been running great, then one day it overheated before it went a mile. Turned it off, bled air. Stats opened. No oil in coolant, no coolant in oil. Returned home after adding coolant. Temps never went to red, or even close (they almost never make it to 210 with the stats I have in it)...
Swapping out my leaking Power Steering Pump w/EVO (what a PITA)
All apart except the 3 hoses.
The high pressure hose is really on there and won't budge (afraid it will break/strip).
Can I leave the high pressure hose and EVO assembly together, and swap as one unit?
If so, what holds...
I wonder if the inexpensive Delphi injectors are sticking
Gonna be tough to track down in with the warm weather coming
Maybe a temp gun reading on each exhaust port and then crack open the injector(s) that read differently than the others?
Time for HO Injectors?
Anyone want my...
Not tested, but they have been working okay for the last few years since they went in with the new engine ("it worked 'til it broke!")
I use "Power Service" diesel additive, that should okay for them, right?
Should I toss in a quart of ND 30 weight for some extra lube?
Never thought...
Pedal works normally, computer holds usual idle speed till it clears up
If I give her a little throttle, say 1500rpm, it clears up (warms up?) much quicker, but with a bit of "bang and clang"
Had a couple weak glowplugs (seemed to be getting worse) so I did some PM to supposedly make things better. No change after swapping parts
New Bosch Duraterms, new GP controller, polished up all the leads to controller, test light flashes strong at every plug when dash indicator is on...
Buddy - In an earlier post, I went a few rounds with a vendor and a POS extension cable
If you can find it, take a look at that cable end pic, it matches this damage exactly
I don't have a supercharged truck starter/charger. On the few occasions that I've needed to, I just "jump" the pass...
It is cooked! No continuity across those two pins
The line is completely burned off in those two spots and blackened around that curved corner area
Just took the truck out (with no resistor at all) and didn't notice any difference at all
Maybe my spare PMD is drivable, and I don't need...
Here's a better pic
Cell phone camera was set on "close up" LOL here's a real pic:
Yeah, it's burned all right
Probably happened when that cheesy POS extension cable went bad on me, :WTF:
I'll check it with a meter when I get home, but it is fried just below the actual resistor...
The old beast started stalling so I got my spare PMD out to test
Old PMD - no start. Newer PMD - fires right up
Swapped spare PMD onto heatsink with thermal compound
Went to swap #9 resistor, and I noticed it looked funny. Almost looks like a blown fuse, with the line running from the...
Open pipe "testing"
Ole Yeller and I took a rutted unplowed tractor path today to get out the snowmobile for an upcoming trip.
Well, it was way deeper than expected and although we did climb out of there unassisted, it did afford me the chance to test "open pipe" as the snow and ice chunks...
