Yup you don't want to go over board thats for sure ! You can only tweak so much before disaster is in the cards!
-
There is no free pedal there you need to wind on the inner ring till you get an 1/8 at the fork! if it aint seized!
-
Yup Mark that was another mistake! What they were thinking We will never know ! Why you would change from a 7/16 bolt the served you well over 30 years And change to an almost 3/8 bolt on the rockers is beyond me! And this was even before these Volvo turds got involved! They do equally stupid shit ! Wimpy bolts to hold the injectors , in wimpy bolts to hold the intake manifolds on, orings where gasket's should be an so on! BUT Who are we to say, were just low life bolt turners ! They did finally get it right with the power leash though !
-
Yup It was a bogus Time for sure! They were trying lots of different things to over come the lack of braking! My opinion again is they were shooting at the wrong issue! Needed to get rid of more compression !They weren't getting the valves open enough in my opinion!
-
( Personally I think Trump is unnecessarily stirring a geopolitical pot and would be wise to drop it and focus on his domestic mandate. )Yup Agree trying to do too much all at once! Got enough too deal with!
-
50/50 is what it is bro!
-
Well being deleted it makes it a bit hard to tell but the fuel pressure sounds a bit low I would take it to your delete friend see if he can decipher what the issue is! I'm not a guru on these ! Is the truck on air ride? These sometimes derate for the air being dumped!
-
have you checked the system for boost leaks cracked after cooler?????
-
Sorry to hear your having trouble how ever If you want help please post! SOME HISTORTY / The parts you replaced and how the situation developed/ And what tools you have to trouble shoot! Throwing parts at shit is expensive you need to do some trouble shooting first wild guesses don't always work as you have found out! educated guesses sometimes work ! Facts are much better! We are here to try and help how ever we don't have a magic wand or crystal balls the snapon guys quit making them years ago But Guys here will try and help if they can !

this is a copy of A Radan suspension and is more for dump and mixer application! I remember seeing that flimsy looking y suspension being offered in some write ups touted as be light more pay load blabla ! Sounds like yup you pay alright!
-
nope its crap shoot if they work better or not! Oil pressure was an alleged problem with these ! They added an external oil line kit sort of helped! But problem being were only cracking one valve open ! Again not getting rid of all the compression needed for good braking ! Just my opinion!
-
Look at the engine if there is a 2 inch spacer between the valve cover and the head its a jake!
-
Key to keeping the grease trunnion in shape is to jack it up by the trunnion shaft then grease it ! this lets the grease go to the places it needs to be! At least once a week or more if possible if your in severe service! for a play truck its not as vital!
-
check the bolt for tightness!
-
When ever you let your foot of the pedal it’s got no fuel if you were fueling you would have smoke! No smoke with dynatard on! Correct? Just dumping compression! So if you do a valve set set tight to 24 or a bit less say 23 even one thou is noticeable!
-
Yup me too! Sucks getting old!
-
My thought there Paul is if they could have changed the timing on that bump they would have! I know for a fact if you reduce the valve set clearance by 2 to 3 thou it increases performance I have tried it ! But is it worth the risk at the other end! On the v8?they increased the valve set from 24 to 26 at one point! I continued to set a 24 as the tighter the set the better the engine brake!
-
Yup you need to remove the lid and reseal it it really doesn’t matter which cylinder is leaking the end result is the same! Order a kit and getter done!🫵
-
I believe the cam key was offset on the 400 how ever I could be wrong Joey may know more!
-
Yup getting rid of the squeaze! In my opinion the dynatard couldn’t open the valve enough to completely get the job done! I used to sneak an extra 2 thou it makes a fair bit of difference! How ever you got to be aware of any over speed conditions!
-
Yup you should see something around 26-32 ! 32 plus is a hot 500!
-
So is it fixed? are you happy with its power now! 20 psi is still low how ever it needs a good hard workout to build good boost flat ground is not a good test! if its doing what you need to do then all is good!
-
shouldn't the van have bars on it! ????🤣
-
True my bad! Just don’t like to cause a fuss!
-
Guess I was pointing out the cam timing is fixed! I believe the issue is the amount the valves can be opened and the displacement of the engine! The engine can’t get rid of all of the compression with such a small bump on the cam ! Oil escape on the shaft is a factor as mentioned thou! Valve adjustment is important I have experienced if you set tight or under spec the better the braking effect! How ever the Tighter the set the more mindedful you have to be to over speed!
