    Sound coming from airbox.

    -30 C on the coolant temp has to be some kind of mistake.... I'm in Florida, our thermostats dont go down that far. The truck was not up to operating temp because I was working on sorting out some leaks that were present after I put everything together. I've fixed 2 of the 3 leaks I found when...

    Sound coming from airbox.

    As Brad mentioned above, I'm out to get a better gauge. I checked balance rates yesterday and I'm attaching a photo of what I got. I called Lincoln Diesel Specialties and they were adamant that their injectors rarely ever fail and that my issue must be elsewhere. The guy I spoke to asked me if...

    I did a compression test on all cylinders before starting. All were in the 260-300 range. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    Sound coming from airbox.

    The injectors are literally brand new. 30% over SAC injectors from Lincoln Diesel Specialties. I also went back with SoCal billet injector hold downs and torqued those to spec. Naturally they have all new crush washers and o-rings. Not only that but as I mentioned I also ordered a set of new...

    Sound coming from airbox.

    I hope I'm not being paranoid. But I took the truck for a drive and brought it back to a second sound, this time I can hear it by cylinder 7 and unlike the first sound thats still there, this one I can hear from a couple of feet away. If y'all could take a listen and tell me your thoughts...

    Sound coming from airbox.

    Well good to know that about the intake sound. This is my first diesel truck and maybe it's making normal noises I'm just not used to with gas engines. I just wouldn't want to leave an abnormal noise go and end up with a valve smacking a piston or something like that. Sent from my SM-S908U...

    Sound coming from airbox.

    It runs and drives great. It was tuned by Starlite, doesn't smoke and doesnt have any blow by as far as I can tell. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    Sound coming from airbox.

    Good afternoon everyone. Has anyone ever ran into a similar sound coming from the intake? Its barely noticeable from a distance but if you put your ear up to the intake box you can clearly hear it. Some kind of deep, steady, thumping sound. I dont hear any knocking or noise coming from the sides...

    Positive Air Shutoff Valve

    Thank you for the info on the PacBrake PH1. I had found PacBrake stuff but had not found the mechanical ones from them. I think that's exactly what I am looking for. And no, this is not for a high HP application. This is for a very mild near stock truck that wont see race or competition use...

    Balancer pin shearing caught on time.

    Best damn feeling in the world.... not sure if its supposed to be that way or not but for me that sucker was ON THERE.... Tried the pick, tried the sharp knife and no go. Moved to needlenose, then to square nose pliers and no go. Tried square and needle nose pressure pliers, and still...

    Balancer pin shearing caught on time.

    This is the oil pump on my truck. Not sure about other gens as this is my first Dmax truck. I do not see a key for that gear, and upon doing some research I dont think they are keyed. DHD sells this pump upgrade...

    Balancer pin shearing caught on time.

    Can you elaborate on that oil pump pin? I was not aware of any other pin that had issues. Since I'm here I'll probably want to check that one out too. Where is that other pin located? Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    Balancer pin shearing caught on time.

    So I'm in the process of piecing my engine back together and I was getting ready to set the valve clearances when I ran into this. I found that the balancer had about 1/2 - 1° of rotarional play on the crankshaft pin. I took the balancer back off and saw whats in the picture. The pin has...

    Promaxx Heads - Thoughts?

    Damn looks like this head thing isn't going to be an easy one to make a choice on.... So my main concerns are paying close to $2k for my used heads that need to be cut to be machined and rebuilt when there are several options out there around that price point for heads from reputable...

    Industrial Injection Screw-in injector cups

    Thank you all for the great info. After some guidance from a vendor here, I decided to go with billet hold downs instead of screw in cups. It seems that based on his experience the cups themselves dont usually fail unless they are improperly installed. And pitting wont really be a concern for...
