if I were him, I'd pull the glow plug on that cylinder, drive it home with no radiator cap.
He would be wise to get an engine lift to get the head off, it is way too much for 1 guy and a chore for 2 ....too man handle it.

I hesitated for the longest time about adding my info to the Members Map, due to being so public. I ended up giving a first name and my town and said if anyone needs help, PM me for a phone number. I already traded info with Dodge/Cummins for my trip out to Oregen next summer.

ahh now i understand the other thread about the gas comment.
ahh well.an easy mistake im sure many diesel owners have made.
i haven't done this one........yet.
as for the new ip causing the engine to run like a dog,it's probably just because its improperly timed still.
iv played with my meter enough now,to know that just a couple degree's makes all the difference in the world.it really does.
when its right,it just pulls sooooooo much harder.timing just 3 degree's (you better have a dang good idi timing ear,i can't hardly tell the difference) can make the truck feel like going from 3.08's to 4.10's.its its that drastic.
when your close,she'll really rattle.until i got the meter,i didn't know these engines where supposed to be so loud.
did you get a turbo specific pump?
do you not feel that you might have damaged injectors now?

Snapon, here's a schedule for ya: Register now for the 2011 IDI WEEKEND - Oilburners.net
I'll be down in PA at a family reunion 1 hour north of the Rally. I don't think I'll be able to skip out of the reunion on Saturday, but I'll be at the Rally for a few hours each day. Dang, it's too bad the reunion fell on the same weekend.
Hopefully I'll see ya down there!
