Early head gaskets were multi piece. The "gasket" was merely a sheet of, I think, some sort of fiber laminated in something to make it hard, kinda like fiber glass. The fire rings were loose in the package. You put the fire rings around the liner and installed the gasket, or shim really, this...

Is it wet higher up, like at the VC gasket? If not, yeah, they are seeping oil, the old style gaskets actually had a gap in them, but, IIRC, it was in line with the exhaust port, so in case of hydrolock, fluid would push out the groove in stead of staying in the cylinder and bending a rod. If it...

The truck will still stop with no boost, just takes more pedal pressure. The brakes can be bled and work fine if the air pack is stuck, not making pressure assist. Hand pressure will not be enough to stop you. If the air pack is not stuck and the piston inside is working, the brakes will not...

Here is the TM for it. All of the manuals for your truck are up in the 5T TM section. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/attachments/tm-9-2320-272-23-1-pdf.916268/ 4th line down in the shot below, 10th line down in the 5t tm section

Does it crank but not start or no crank?

Liner cavitation is something that a compression ignition engine is inherent to. That is why additives are already in or added to diesel coolants. That "filter" isn't just a filter, it is technically called a corrosion inhibitor. It has a chunk of DCA that slowly erodes as the coolant ois passed...

I have seen a bunch. All caused by coolant. Same stuff as LSD and ULSD. Some, not all, of the components in the fuel systems of most OEM's had issues with the re design of fuel. My shitbox was factory filled with DexCool. I had no issues with fuel or oil in the cooling system. Only symptom...

Yes, no more rubber swelling. I have used 50/50 and concentrate. Run it is the D-Max, my jeep and zero issues. If/when I go into my wife's Rav 4, it will get a dose too. And what I am using is the ES Complete CC2825 for the 50/50 and CC2820 for concentrate.

Never done it like that. To test an electric gauge, I have always removed the wire at the sender and just grounded it. Pegs one way grounded and the other way with no wire shorted, the issue is the sender. I would disconnect the gauge in the dash now and see if it goes back down to zero. If it...

This. The newer coolants will degrade any rubber to coolant contact. They are more acidic than the older coolants. In my time at Cummins, when the ELC's started to appear, most of the engines that had edge molded rubber gaskets in the cooling system, oil cooler gaskets, rocker housing gaskets...

High OP will not cause issues. If the engine still runs, damage is done, pull the lids and use a 3/4 socket on an extension on the injector adjusting jamb nut and push the lever down, push the ext. toward the exhaust side, while it is running. The knock should go away when the injector is...

Cut the filter open so you can see what type of material is in it. Then drop the pan and look up her skirt. If it spun a brg, no need to waste time yanking heads.

Aren't they 11.00x 18's? If so, convert it over to modern metric size. Most trucks now have 18's. Don't know about you weight though.

It has been a bit, but I believe stock springs on the early C like in the A2 are 30 psi. There is a Cummins set that are 60 psi.

Where did the "new" engine come from? A spun bearing will not usually cause coolant in the oil unless the rod contacted the liner and it broke, if that happened, usually a ventilated block happens. Most likely happened the other war round, coolant in the oil, loss of lubrication, then spun...

Still the one that came on it as far as I can tell, bolts have overspray of what the frame/under carriage has, but that is on my list, to see if is moving fuel.

Well, here is what I know about the "mechanic". Supposedly, the PO, who knows nothing except real estate, took this to his "Lamborghini Mechanic" for a "tune up". Supposedly it had a new radiator put in it. When the guy told me that, I told hem that these don't really need tune ups, just PM...

The tank isn't what is being pressurized, a separate off vehicle tank is being used. It is still going through the factory lines that I pressurized and had flow to the filter. There had been zero filter work done, no clamps in different spots, they were all oriented in a position that made it...

@BLK HMMWV , My friend, I will admit that I know nothing about these things and their operation. The check valves were supposedly removed today, however, I had fuel flow to the filter via pressurized non vehicle fuel tank, filter was bled and full. Return from the pump disconnected, very...

With the location of the problematic check valves solved, on my end at least, there still is an issue with zero fuel delivery from the pump to the injectors running....but not returning....from an isolated fuel source. There is some sort of electric valve on top of the fuel filter. I did find...
