Is this turbo good to run in the meantime? Or does it seem like the chip on the turbine wheel could possibly make it out of balance and risk failure? I plan to upgrade the turbo when I rebuild the injectors and the injection pump.

Hey everybody, wanted to pick the brains of some of you guys who have more experience with the CT26 in these 1HDFTs. Getting an EGT gauge installed and got the turbo out. Is this peppering expected/normal on the turbine wheel? Notice the small chip like thing on the edge of the blade. Curious...

Hey, probably a dumb question. Having fuel come out the bottom of my filter stop cock. I’ve tightened it down entirely and it’s still dripping from it. Any idea what the issue is?

wouldn’t this just have an effect if you have the auto activated? Rather than manually changing the controls?

Some updates for everyone: If I have the temp slider all the way to the left on cold and slowly move it to where it is in the picture, I get barely warm air but it maintains it. As soon as I hit the middle 25, it goes back to the same temp as if I had it over all the way to the left. But if I...

Wire and valve working as it should

I’m thinking maybe I should do a CLR back flush on the core to see?

Also want to add: with every back flush of a heater core I’ve seen, they’ve looked horrible. Red/brown tinged water. Mine only was coolant tinged for 5 seconds and then immediately was clear, not even the slightest red tinge to it. With you saying it could be plugged: when I did the back flush...

That’s why it’s confusing me. It’s not like I barely have heat or have heat here and there. I have amazing heat immediately when I turn heater on but then it slowly turns cool.

Unfortunately this isn’t the issue, when the valve is fully open the cabin gets amazing heat for like 15-20 seconds before it starts to turn to cool air. Happens everytime. Even as soon as it goes cool, I can turn AC on and flip it to cold and then immediately go right back to heat with AC off...

Coolant level has been stable the last 2 months. Did all the drop and adding when we originally flushed everything and overhauled the cooling system with new radiator and hoses etc.

1996 1HDFT HDJ81. I thought it could be an air pocket but the cooling overhaul was done months ago, figured any air pocket would be resolved by now with all the driving and heat being on full blast. Also, inlet hose to heater core is hot and then after a little bit, outlet heater hose gets hot...

1996 1HDFT HDJ81. Heat was always this way, even before the cooling overhaul. Things done during cooling overhaul: brand new radiator, thermostat, radiator cap, new radiator hoses and heater hoses, rear heater delete, and ACSD delete.

Okay everyone, I’m lost. Been trying to figure out why I’m not getting any heat in the cruiser. Here’s what’s happening: if I have the AC on and turn it to full blast heat, I get perfectly hot air that comes through the vents for about 5 seconds and then it gets warm, and then it’s just cool air...

Hey guys, just wanted to hear what people suspect this could be. About a month ago we did our knuckle rebuild with the kit from cruiser outfitters. Everything has been great. Put up a little over 3,000 miles since then. No signs of any leaking anywhere else and the steering arm bolts are still...
