Barely a twitch but that is just sitting stationary in the shop. She’s in hibernation for the winter with storage policy insurance so I can’t go do a road test.
I’m not going to rip into the FPR right away. I’ll wait to see if it settles a bit.
All those fittings and no PSO. I like the AN lines. This was my first time using them.

For some reason the gpr circuit isn’t working. No glow plugs so an extended crank time. I will dig into that later today.
Had some exhaust smoke coming from under the hood. At first I thought it was electrical, since I just wired in those relays, but a quick smell and its exhaust.
Checked the down pipe and the flanges are mated properly, I think I may have missed the mark at the baby’s butt when I rebuilt the turbo.
Is it possible to have the V-band clamp installed but still have a gap between the collector and turbine housing.

Only once that I have performed. When I did the KC S300 turbine wheel and 360° rebuild kit.
The only other time it’s been apart was when I paid Bernhausen Diesel to reseal my exhaust manifolds, up-pipes, bpv delete and wicked wheel.
I was confident that it went back together tight but as you know that is a brail procedure.
I’m going to get a buddy to come over and give it a quick crank to see if I can isolate the leak location, but it’s definitely coming from the topside.

Disappointing since the GPR that died was replaced September 4/24. NAPA brand, but I didn’t have any options 6-1/2 hour from home.
Gonna see if they will replace it and if not White Rodgers will be ordered for the replacement.

I tried a Napa one years ago on the white truck and had similar luck.
This Trombetta unit is still working well since June 2020, though it was "singing" to me yesterday when I turned the key to warm up the plugs. I hope that's not an indicator of going out.

Thanks Jeff.
Just did a google search and came up with the same one. In fact there was a link to it on an FTE thread done by KO 76.

I’m thinking that the Stancor may be a better fit for me based on the fender relocation I did last year. You mentioned that you “removed 4wd pulse vacuum hub-lock solenoid”. Was that necessary or just something you did?

Looks like I’ll be going trombetta for 1/3 the price of the stancor.
