Ok,is it just me or has the diesel stop done cavitated?I can't get anything to load up.Keep getting those 500 Errors.I need my morning fix before work!I also have a couple threads I was watching for my Enterprise Build up(Yea,I am the new captain of the Enterprise....For those that don't know,Travis now belongs to the BORG
)

 

yeah i've noticed its not up to snuff lately.
why did travis get rid of the old ship anyway?

 

I have seen no problems over at TDS..........

I think Travis got sick of the Fixitbreakit Fixitbreakit scenario and needed a rest for a while. I hear he is scouring back roads looking for abandoned trucks now...HEHEHE

 

All is well again thank god.Guess it was either my local connection or they shut down for upgrades.

But on the Enterprise.....

Travis Blew her up for the 3rd time and decided enough was enough.This time it has a knock.He pulled the heads and found loose precups(one fell out when he pulled the head) and 8 cracked pistons.He is to blame this time.He build a water/Methanol injection kit for her and instead of building it like tried and true methods,He went with his Matra if a little is good then a boat load is much better.He was dumping in so much water that it would actually bog the engine down(hydrolock) and was putting out the fires in the Cylinders up until around 2000RPM.But,I will say the E likes to show her ****.Had her shipped down and after unloading I attempted to drive to the shop where she will reside til I build that 400+ horse power monster that is going back in.First she did NOT want to crank....GPs Cycled perfectly,engine turned over fast,she was just stuborn.Well,a little over a mile she lost power and died.....ummmm,ok.....Cranked and fired right up.Ok,back on the road....less than a quarter mile I see smoke(so I thought) billowing out from behind me.Checked the guages and nothing was strange(ok,factory idiot lights with needles and the Banks guages) so I kept going.about 3 miles in she lost major power and started to surge.....Ruh Oh.Pulled over for the second time and cranked....and cranked ....and cranked some more finally she fired.Hit the road for the 3rd time but this time she was very low on power and would get sudden surges of power(and sound like a jet when the turbo would quickly spool!WOW!Love that banks!).about 2 miles from the shop she dies just before cresting the mountian(20MPH all the way up with foot on floor) .....Dang it.....Pull over and notice the smoke is comming from the hood,sides,rear,and some in teh cab.......then I smell antifreeze......OH SNOT!That wasn't smoke!Dumped antifreeze for like 6-8 miles.Well,this time she wouldn't fire back up to save her life.Luckly a buddy that drove my other truck(2000 V10 SD) to the shop answered the Cell and came in his Yota.He pushed us the rest of the way to the shop.The next day I go out,Check for the leak and the dang heater hose blew off the Waterpump.But there was still coolant in the radiator...Very little but some.....Ok,I go to figure out why she won't run and notice no hum from the fuel pump.....hmmm,ok.Check the wiring and well...still checking.......Looks like a robot puked under the da*****he lift pump is getting no power though the relay or switch.

 

yeah i read that thread about the abandoned truck,see you cant just quit the IDI addiction cold turkey!

 

Yea,I am doing my part and keeping that fire atleast smoldering.....I am gonna keep it going till The July 4th rally and dump a drum of Napalm on it!The engine in both trucks will be done then I hope!I really hope I can pull this off since a lot of people expect to see me,the Enterprise and White Lightning smoking up the place!
