    LML Marine swap

    I'd weld everything ya can down to the charge cooler. But gotta be spot on with alignment. If you think that may be an issue, leave a boot in a straight section somewhere. Nice work on the compressor housings. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    I don't know right off, however there is no gauges in it now so you can easily take a peak. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    Predictions?

    Late to the topic, but was betting high 9's with those parts. What's estimated flywheel that calculates out to? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    Any billet cranks in DD'ers?

    Certainly can't disagree with ya on cost. I'd never bought billet if not being high hp / $$$$ builds for a customers boat. Odds are in your favor ya never break one. But if betting big time, I'll buy the insurance.

    LML Marine swap

    Yeah I replaced like 3 of the 2.5-3" boots, and only 1 of the 3-3" ones over 4yrs. Two of the first ones were cheap single material $5 ebay POS that lasted about a week till I got some good ones. The straight one I replaced cause it didn't match rest in color... Basically if tight gaps with no...

    Any billet cranks in DD'ers?

    I just did 2 sets, even drove to Callies and measured the journals before cranks were released.. See attached pics. My guy trimmed the edges down and clearance is spot on where we estimated. $20 a rod, plus shipping he will hook ya up. :thumb: Can't go any more than tang will allow using...

    Any billet cranks in DD'ers?

    $20 a rod, no change to bearings. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    Any billet cranks in DD'ers?

    Yes, it's not a big deal either. Only takes some meat off one side of each rod.

    LML Marine swap

    Fewer unions is diffidently better, but my judgment is still out on Vband vs good quality boots in boat setups. Lot of flexing motions in the boats over extended periods of time. The boots are an easy repair out on the water if ya keep a couple spares in the tool bag. Also looks like Vibrant...

    Broken Crankshaft Count?

    I'd be a bit shy about using that same block again at this point. Might check the line bore to be safe.

    V2 Display Screen screwy

    My V2 started with dead pixel lines when it was only a couple years old. Then I fried the CANbus chip in it last year. Spent the $100 to have SoCal referb it. All good now.

    Glad to hear they found it. Not a common problem, but have heard of similar ecu quarks in the past. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    Noob with 2000rpm engine issues

    Might have them inspect and clean the crank position sensor while at it. Check the damper for any wobble. Kinda sounds a lot like my buddies broken crank that I swore was electrical problems till someone noticed the damper walking all over the place... Injectors don't just come and go, or...

    Worst Hosed Injector Videos

    I owned and drove a Ford 6.0L for 8yrs logging 150k on either straight or high blends of biodiesel for testing. Ran it out of fuel one day under a WOT situation, that seized first 3 injectors on the spot. Straight up dead sticks. We decided to stud it and found a cracked piston that wasn't blown...

    Excellent point. Turbos seldom go quietly into non-spooling failures. Maybe seized on a hot shutdown, but typically they go screaming...

    Worst Hosed Injector Videos

    That's good and hazy Dave... Strangest part about that Cummins failure was I'd just put fuel in the truck and pulled out of the station less than a mile before it happened. It set a CEL for a TPS sensor circuit low, that's when I saw rail pressure dropping on the CTS screen. Looked in the...

    Worst Hosed Injector Videos

    Ok here is one for fun. What's the worst messed up common rail injector you've ever seen? I encountered one the other day that made me stop the truck I was driving on side of the road and call a friend to pull me home. Soon as I got there I connected the SnapOn to it and started it up again...

    LB7's often won't kick on CEL for low fuel pressure. Drove one a while back that acted similar, no power, no codes. But when ya looked at commanded fuel pressure vs actual, it wouldn't hold 50% requested. Fuel pressure under WOT should be hitting 21k PSI / 150Mpa or above on the scanner. If...
