IT RUNS AGAIN!!
exhaust is fully wrapped and re-installed, and my turbo drain -10an hose showed up a day early! fired that thing off last night and everything seams good. both turbo's spin and were getting oil at least exhaust sounds pretty decent, only one new leak at a fuel line that might have just been a loose fitting. idle is really high with the new huge injectors though, and just turning down the idle screw wasn't enough to get a stable low idle. now it's time i figured out the P7100 tuning and started turning screws.

Awesome!!!
This build has been cool to follow. Can't wait to see it rolling and towing! |

I haven't heard of injectors having an effect on idle speed before. That is interesting. How much larger did you go over stock? What did you do for a fuel plate? I can't recall if that came up in the past.

it's entirely possible that i need to re-adjust the new gov springs too actually.
injectors are the new Power Driven Diesel Power Jet's ... they don't list a size or hole qty cuz they are cut different than any other 2ng gen nozzle. keeps ppl from comparing apples n oranges i guess. i got "stage-3: up to 750hp" fuel plate still un-touched by me, but also unconfirmed if the prior owner did anything with it. i'm going to order the max travel AFC kit to have better control of this boost level and bench set it for what i'm shooting for.

Its hard to believe, for me, that it has been that long. Time since COVID seems to have sped up 1.5x or so, at least it seems that way. The pandemic somehow ruined my sense of time

did a lot more staring at things over the weekend and trying stuff, then trying again til i finally got what i liked. new shut-down cable is in! it's actually a locking cable, but could just be a basic choke cable it if i wanted now. no springs, just pull on, push off, lock if ya want. probably lock-on to make sure it maintains full fuel ability.
re-did the throttle cable to delete the 2nd gen TPS and extra unnecessary linkages. just need a new throttle return spring and mount to really make that prime. got the radiator installed and fully piped! i'm not a huge fan of the upper hose, but not the end of the world either. if there's ever an issue i already found steam ports made to cut into silicone hoses. took the pump AFC apart to hopefully start to dial in the fueling a bit and smoke out the shop way less ... fawk, i should charge the batteries after all the starting ... key now is going to be getting things ready at the bare min to drive it. gauges, wiring, fix air leaks in bag lines, etc. then i can start work on the bed and other cosmetics knowing worst case she's viable.

started to get the 3D put together for a bed structure with hatch. thinking 1x1 framework with 3/4" ply over it, and lift-off style hinges

You should find some vintage Craftsman or SnapOn chests to mount there.

Kinda wish I still had some CAD skills for stuff like that. Not that I'm building anything anytime soon, but that is neat.
Did you find a model of the 14b or do that one yourself?

Yeah, I wouldn't even know where to begin to learn a new CAD program. The last exposure I had was CAD class where I learned CATIA back in 2012 .

ya ever spend an entire weekend doing something over ... get to the end of the weekend and realize you are only just back to where you thought you started?
i knew i installed the rear main seal on this 12v wrong after doing Hank's 3x cuz i did it first. i know i oiled it like every seal and they MUST be installed dry to not leak. well i was having bad leakage so apart it came. got the trans out, clutch off ... and rear main was dry. wtf. looked harder and it was dripping from the oil pan rail in like 3 place, but wet almost half the seam. s475 and hot pipe, plus the intercooler mounts have to come out for the engine to tip back far enough to get the trans out ... then everything else to pull the damn 12v turns out, the pan rail was deformed at the bolt holes and about 20% of the RTV i used never touched the block side. hammered the pan rail back into shape and used a greased paper gasket this time. also did a new rear main while it was out hanging there. so far, so good.
