    HD-T Serial Number Dates (motor number)

    Let's post up Hd-T serial numbers (hz too, if you like) I have what I was told is an hd-t from a 1993 vehicle. Serial Number is 0071790 It does have the oil level sensor, which I believe suggests post-1992. The serial number on my hd-t is at the upper corner of the block, below the head...

    How cold for cold adjustment of valves?

    Hi all my mechanic is an hour away. I don't want to leave the truck overnight... how cold is "cold" for adjusting the valves? Keep in mind it is near 100*F here, so the motor isn't getting cold no matter how long I leave it.. I'm just wondering if sitting for 5 hours is enough. Thoughts?

    Where is the Engine Number hd-t?

    Hi all I recently discovered a snafu in my vehicle paperwork, the engine is reported as a 4.2l turbo (gasser). This is an odd situation since the former motor was a 3F, certainly not 4.2 liters nor turbo in any event, I need the engine number for the new paperwork- where is it on the...

    HD-T Oil Pressure

    Now that I have a working oil pressure gauge, I'm curious about "normal" pressure. The FSM says: At idle: .3kg/cm2 (4.3 psi, 29 kPa) or more At 3,000 rpm: 2.5kg/cm2 (36 psi, 245 kPa) or more w/ 15w-40 dino oil in there, I get around 20-30 psi at startup at idle, that drops to 15psi or so...

    Manifold Stud Hd-T torque? antiseize?

    Anyone know the proper way to re-install the manifold studs? All but one of mine pulled out. I've cleaned them up- run them through a die and tapped the nuts so all is clean and smooth now. I'd assume they don't get torqued too tight. The FSM shows stud torque setting for M10x1.25 as either...

    hd-t Pull turbo w/o pulling manifold?

    intake manifold hd-t

    wow it isn't so easy to get this thing off! "loosen nuts from injection pump" seems so innocuous in the fsm, and so not that easy in real life and the last nut on the manifold? the one that is protected by the firewall, the manifold, the glow buss and the starter wire? that's a doosy.

    Loss of boost hd-t

    hey all while driving the other day I noticed that my hd-t is not putting out as much boost as normal. If I gun it to pass, for example, the boost goes up to 7psi, then falls to 5 or 6. "Normal" would be more like 12 in the same situation. If I accelerate slowly up a hill, boost climbs to 6...
