It Runs

[durallymax]

After a few minor little things last night we got it running, however it sounded like a nitro methane powered dragster. My hopes werent up, called it a night and this morning I pulled the codes off of it. P0089 and P0090. Both are Fuel Pressure regulator codes.

Turns out I never hooked the wires up to the dang thing. I also remembered earlier that i never hooked up my MAF, low coolant sensor and the ac sensor deal that plugs into the shiny thing by the cab. These didnt change anything though.

Fired it up and it ran perfect, minus the coolant pissing everywhere. The one leak that sprayed coolant all over the windshield hood, motor and turbo was a bad o ring on the cab heater feed line. Replaced the o ring and no more leak. The other one was a cracked weld on the cab heater return line, So I ran down to my neighbors and TIG welded the crack. So no more leaks.

Heres the video

GET TO IT!!!!!!!!!

 

[durallymax]

Thanks guys it sounds awesome in person.

Thanks to Tim at SJD too for answering my calls all the time.

Waiting for the Dipstick tube from mike, and the shutoff from Engineered diesel so we can build the intake and get the trans filled to the top and get back on the road.

I also need to find a plug for the turbo water feed dealio. I know ATS includes one in their kit. Also would like to get an ATS turbo to intercooler pipe or similar to eliminate my cobblejob reduction system from 3.5"-2.5"

i am currently working on this, but i have banks IC pipes. i have a buddy with a a CNC that will make the bigger reducer or coupler or whatever i want.

great job improvising. i just welded the coolant pipe shut FWIW.

 

[durallymax]

hey now theres something I never thought of. But What if I want to go back to the stock turbo down the road

 

[juddski88]

lol, you past the point of no return, trust me

 

[durallymax]

passed that along time ago

 

[Josh2002cc]

I have a plug for you that will go into the coolant cross over pipe. Looks good too, makes it look alot cleaner.

I also just welded my pipe shut. Do you have a v-band clamp discharge on the turbo if so ATP turbo makes a 3.5" pice to clamp to the turbo then you will just have to go to 3" to the IC

 

[durallymax]

Yes, however the PPE kit comes with a 3.5-3 reducer

found another leak now though coming from the rear of the block, not looking good.

Truck sounded awesome. Hopefully this new leak is something simple. Best of Luck.

 

[durallymax]

thanks but its not looking the best.

From what I see now the source of the leak is on the pass side just above where the bulge in the block is for the oil rail that feeds the squirters.

 

[durallymax]

Well its still leaking and it doesnt look like an easy fix so we have chosen to ignore it and just add coolant as needed for now.

We got the whole front end back together, well pieces of it. Didnt get the lower fan shroud on, forgot to put it on before the radiator and as I was trying to force it into place i snapped it in half. A bucnh of the front clip is still cracked everywhere from the deer, but it looks like a truck now.

Whats left to do to get it running down the road is the dipstick, welding the flange on the frontpipe, building the intake (shutoff showed up today), and getting the front end back in.

Now we are on to fab. We mocked up the driveshaft loops tonite and will be doing them soon. We also designed the new weight bracket as well.

Looks like we will have it done in time but will just be missing a fan shroud and have a coolant leak.

You better pray that isn't a coolant leak from the head gaskets. I would do a compression check before you screw something important up. A coolant leak in that area isn't something I would just "ignore," ask dieselson about ignoring a coolant leak caused by a head gasket issue.

could it be the block heater leaking , mine was .

 

[Josh2002cc]

Did you touch the block heater? That might be a better question Jon

 

[Gasuout]

no , the machine shop must have left it loose and i didnt check it .

 

[Josh2002cc]

What machine shop?

 

[Gasuout]

When I was building new motor , I didnt ck block heater and after installing motor it was leaking or more like seeping .
