    Turbo and gauge installation progress

    The Dakota cluster, gauges, and sensors are very spendy, but super attractive and work very well. I did all the wiring and sensor installation, and it’s not that difficult. Perhaps the biggest early obstacle was creating a 12 V power source As for the EGT of 1400, that’s only for the briefest...

Including: 1) Garrett turbo installation (thanks diesel42!) 2) Replaced head gasket 3) Then had to replace ENGINE when engine seized due to cylinder sleeves shed into oil pan 4) New front and...

    Dakota Gauges - flywheel induction and turbo boost

    I am so grateful for the The Dakota digital boost sensor is meaty enough (1/8 npt) that it could be screwed into a slightly undersized hole in the silicon for the crossover tube and likely be fine. The having been acknowledged, I created a "T" fitting in the waste gate circuit and will be using...

    Dakota Gauges - flywheel induction and turbo boost

    Good afternoon! I’m in the process of installing my Dakota Digital gauges in my BJ 42. At the moment I have decided to go with a flywheel induction sensor for the tachometer, but don’t have a port in the Bell housing in which to install it. For those of you who have installed these aftermarket...

    What is the best shop to rebuild a 3B?

    I was lucky enough to find a used 3B in Canada to swap out for my blown 3B (cylinder sleeves shed into the crankcase after a head gasket change) and now have the aforementioned blown 3B sitting on a pallet while I look for a shop to rebuild it as a spare. Whee would be the best place for me...

    Alternator “W” terminal?

    greetings and salutations, I just got my hands on a Dakota Digital gauge system and I’m in the process of adding tachometer capability. I can either use an inductive sensor for the tooth flywheel, or the “W” terminal from the 24 V alternator. Does anybody here have any experience doing either of...

    What’s a parent bore gasket? You were absolutely right that the liner failed.

    Seized 3B (help!)

    The head had received no treatment whatsoever - the head gasket had been installed incorrectly by whoever worked on it previously.

    Seized 3B (help!)

    I had just picked it up from the mechanic who put in a diesel 42 turbo and a new head gasket - it was running GREAT. I have a manual fuel shutoff switch (goodbye EDIC!) that I had just activated, which usually makes the engine shut down in a gentle, rolling way. In this case, as soon as I...

    Seized 3B (help!)

    I don’t know how many miles it had on it because it wasn’t the original engine, and I bought it through a dealer rather than the original owner.
