Cool video

When you want to start your truck, turn the key to ON (past accessory, but not to hit the starter), wait about 15-20 secs, then go forward to the starter.

That allows the fuel pressure to build, and any glowplug activity to take place. If you wait too long, the pump shuts off and in about 5-10 secs the fuel pressure bleeds off.

I noticed this behavior when watching and troubleshooting my fuel pressure.

Do you have FRx on the fuel lines? If so, repeated key on, wait for pump to turn off, key off then back on, to repeat a half dozen times or so...can help work air out of the fuel lines.

I guess you know to keep your fingers, rags, small pets away from the turbo intake while running, right?

I chuckled when you cheered as it started. We all know that feeling of relief and elation when we realize we didn't turn our trucks into scrap with our wrenches

Congrats! Go easy on her for a while until you get 50-100 miles on her and all the air is worked out of the lines.

 

I use one of those silver dryer hoses to vent the exhaust gasses out of the garage - it fits perfectly over the 4" exhaust.

Congratulations! Nice whistle.

 

Sounds good, looks good. It would interesting to see a logged run if you can do it. Then you gotta put all that stuff away that you dug out to do the job. I hate that part.

 

Nicely done sir! Great video and sound coming from the truck.

Now you are that much closer to enjoying the performance upgrades!

 

Man, I'm with Camper on this one.....You'd better get those intakes sealed up, You suck so much as a Fart into those things all your work goes right out the exhaust....and quickly.

 

Oh yeah. I usually do that but I was on mobile so I guess I forgot

thanks. So 20 seconds? I thought I was supposed to let the GPR run? Obviously it wasnt running much with the warm weather. I never thought about the pump shutting off. Does the pump sound weak or off to anyone else?

FRx? I guess not lol I don't recognize the name. I have a full stock fuel system. So whatever came on the late 99. Unless the previous owner jacked with it.

Well we got a new cat running around that's just the right size to fit in there. . . Lol. Yes I was clear of it. Nothing that could fly up was left in the vicinity.

Yeah I was happy about it starting. I didn't hardly see anything on the tach so I didn't even think I was gonna he anywhere close to started that night.

Yep. Those miles are gonna be hard trying not to cream it. I installed the oil crossover line so I think my air is just sitting up there lol.

Ahhh. That's an idea. I had the big door open. But for sure working in winter time that would be nice. I hadn't smelled diesel exhaust in so long I almost passed out sniffing it down there xD.

I too am loving the whistle

you want a full trip? What all you want logged. I got torque pro and forscan.

I'm sure everyone noticed how unorganized everything had become in the 2 months. It was supposed to be a faster job but crap happens.

Thanks. So close lol

​​​​​​yeah I'm getting it on there now.

Now you got me wanting to fart into the intake then running around to the exhaust and waiting

 

I just want to see the juicy stuff, 2200+ RPM's and WOT. Others might be able to make more out of other parts of a run.

 

Ok. Gonna look like a fool here but that's OK I'm here to learn. The heck is WOT?

 

Not at all. Wide Open Throttle...

 

jhl3 gave the literal translation... think of WOT as "Permagrin" mode.

 

Ok. So floor it? Lol.

Uhhh lol. I almost went to Google "permagrin" but then I read deeper haha

 

I took it for a ride today. Goes nicely. I think I may have something afoot with the turbo and there is a trans temp sensor that is going bonkers. But nothing that will stop me from going. I think the sensor wiring just got wet. We will see what its doing tomorrow.

COMPLETELY forgot to press the log button. . . Ill get some either tomorrow or monday
