got this 88 ,c-6, 4.11's ,banks, to pull toys with ( hopefully)
apparently pics to follow




in as much as it has been neglected for years, Momma wants to travel some .
Me,,, was a track mech in army 30+ years ago, gen contractor by trade. Hold a current c.d.l. so I may try to pull doubles with it????
retired in 08, this is my first idi, drove a stroke for a couple yrs during a stint at an engineering co building weed fields for vintners here in cal.
she runs fine so far aint pulled nothing yet, still pulling junk off this thing ( like the 20' of trailer wiring added plus the 2' of factory harness that was left over after I rewired the bumper)going to re seal the inj. lines and go for the i.p. and bump it up some... SO I have tried to search out the basic newbie questions,,, is there a link or spot here to go for the basic stuff??
have seen the return line and stickies.
know about the basics of p.m. just lookin to get into the free up some # feet stuff. I'm not inna hurry but do love torque, any suggested reading?
THANX in advance cb

 

Welcome! That is a nice truck!

Here's a thread with a lot of good info in it:

6.9/7.3 IDI Diesel New Owner FAQ

 

thanx,,, must be 1 or 2 70 on the clock,, the odo has seperated and the maint log listed an overhaul at 149k,,, (should not have needed it) this could be why....

got this...


thanx saw that thread , have a set of factory manuals, just lookin for stuff like the uhaul ip threads.
again thanx cb

 

Wow, I've never seen one of those screen mutilated like that. Obviously he should have replaced it when it was rebuilt. Even just leaving it off would have been better...

 

Holy moly..!

 

The funny part??
Its foundation screen.
chashing wireing now and gunna have to replace the pyro do to this kinda craftmanship...(p.o. was a fed carpenter)
Almost scared to look at the turbo blades.
thanx cb

 

the screen is to keep you or (your grandson) from droping FOD down intake,,during maintance...LOL..I am leaving mine on thanks..there are few true performace mods for NA engines,,sad as i have E350

 

I hate fouling objects and debris.......my grandkids are referred to as the wreckin crew
the guy from
banks that designed the system nearly doomed the screen as you pull the old square pressure chamber off.its a good idea.
I've seen matched injectors,big i.p.,air in/out..
anything else outside the crankcase as far as performance goes?
Thanx cb
