new here! i appreciate any input from you guys.
okay so i've finally dug my old 1996 6.5 Turbo 4x4 out of 2 feet of snow.
took two brand new batteries to get the thing fired over, got it unstuck, then came my problems.
one of my fuel injector return lines has gone missing from the drivers side and is pissing fuel everywhere while the engines running. just to keep the engine running i've plugged the nipple the was pissing fuel. should not be a big deal, return line kit already ordered. just wondering if this rig i have set up is hurting the engine? i'm just moving it around with the set up shown. that hose with the gear clamp is plugged six inches down.
second, turbo is not spooling. i have a second turbo set up that i plan to replace the seized one with. is there any gaskets i should replace before bolting the new one on?
third, temp gauge in the dash is not working. i found a little blue sensor on the drivers side of the engine block with a greenish wire beside it. the wire is busted off the blue 'sensor'. is that my temp gauge sensor? and where do i find a replacement.. (GM part #??)
fourth, very slow coolant leak coming from somewhere. it looks like it's from the rad, but when i parked it last year the rad did not leak. replaced a gear clamp on the upper house that was leaking as well. i'm puzzled.
fifth, when you push the brake pedal in, the system feels like it's dry. it's really soft and easy to push in. lots of play in the pedal before the brakes engage and when they do engage, it's quick and rather violent. brake fluid reservoir is full. brake warning like it on. time to change them?
finally, glow plugs are cycling. from cold or warm doesn't matter, WTS light cycles on and off in slow flashes. my guess is a relay or controller of some sort, but figured i'd hear what you guys have to say.
thanks in advance for any input, you guys are always great help.
