I'm having a hard time getting momentum going, I keep running into roadblocks. For example, I wanted to mount the aux fuel tank fuel level gage, but didn't have a cup, and I couldn't find a spot I liked to mount the thing.

So I moved to the drivers door panel. The plywood I purchased a year ago for the project has warped slightly, but worst of all, it was too small a section to make a full panel! ERRRRRR>>>>

I initially wanted to get the brake lines reinstalled, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to adapt the new 3/16" brake lines to the factory proportioning valve.

I am holding to the plan to get the brakes working, the transmission showing a desire to move and the thing generally ready to pull onto a trailer, then take it to a specialist to get the engine sorted.

Don if you can wait until Monday I will send a list of everything you need

Realistically the dash could be last, or I guess would be if it was my project.
It could be, but with my running out of space for stuff and the need for two more gages, it's time.

However getting the truck to motivate is first.

With the fuel pressure gage installed I can get a good read on the health of the injection pump. If that's faulty, I'll just pull it myself and save the trip to the tuner. Find a reputable shop, tell them what I want the engine to do, then start signing checks.

Be a good write-up if nothing else.

I'm also still sniffing around the silverado rear springs. 64" vs 52"  Shackle flip, vs factory under-slung configuration. More load capacity from the silvy springs...lots of grindin' and fine little metal filings in my hair skin and eyeballs...What's not to like about that?

Phil,

Yes, the prop. Valve is pictured in your first photo. Except that mine looks different (3/4T W250 vs 1/2T RC??) and is located inside the frame "C" which in my case, is now boxed in.

It dose not, I hate those inverted flare fittings they use on cars.  I converted everything downstream of the "quad" fitting to AN and SS lines.  Only use the factory stuff because I had it and was in good shape.

Thease are the adapters I used and I ran -3 AN lines

Ah yes, AN fittings...

I could do that, never thought of that. Was trying to keep if close to the factory configuration, steel lines.

On all my off road trucks I swap the lines & fittings to AN, it's just good insurance. If you blow a flex hose etc on the trail you can disconnect, pull a spare cap from the tool bag to isolate said line & keep on going with a three brake motion.......

Being that this is supposed to be bug out vehicle it should get the same treatment, granted it may never get finished in time but that's not the point here now is it?

Get one of these, or go to the parts house and sift through theirs with valve and line in hand. You have a flaring tool don't ya?

Didn't know that existed

I'll think about how I want to do it tomorrow

I'm sitting here thinking about what the effect might be to just can the prop valve...

I have the adjustable valve installed in the rear line already

But the proportional valve allows for a variance of pressure to the rear brakes as set hydrauically, by the front line pressure. Do I have that right?

I recall my 1987 W150 as having a front to rear swap problem. Sometimes I'd hit the brakes in that truck and wham-o, just like that, I'd be facing the opposite direction wondering why I was doing 35 in reverse!

^^^What Shawn said^^^^

Phil, putting my summit order together. Will be a conversion to AN fittings, that just makes good sense

Two different parts, one of each? Or some other combo?

Another thought...Should I buy a new prop valve? You may recall that somewhere along the way, I pulled mine apart and cleaned the thing and installed new O-rings. New, or go with as-is?

Remember, I am likely looking at buying a new or rebuilt injection pump for the 6BT that continues to smoke me out...

Hey Don, couple things

I would go with the prop valve you have for the time being, you can always use the fittings even if you go to a different prop valve you can reuse the fittings, are you just going to convert those areas or the whole system down stream of the valve?

Don't forget AN fittings are 37degree flare, ALSO remember the valve you installed for the rear is not a prop valve its a metering valve, there is a big difference so be aware of how you think and what it actually dose.

For your IP PLEASE check the oblivious first, get some gauges and make sure you have good pressure AND flow going to the IP.  Don't make your life more difficult than it already is.   it took me a long time to get my RC correct but now I would have no problem jumping in and driving cross country or Alaska again.

Don, summit has some really cool push together type lines that might work well on that. You don't need high pressure, just fuel lines.

I have some myself for the new coolers on the dmax.

Copy all
I know about the AN thing, have used it for decades

I might go from the prop valve to a compression fitting/AN adapter fitting and run a shorter piece of high press AN nylon line instead of running the whole length. Summit is two days out max so will have this bird cooked this week.

Inj pump...Well I have checked everything and it is all checking out. It acts approximately the same as it did on the first time I started it up. I even pulled the pump down a bit to check things. On that check we discovered some very fine brass fillings in one of the chambers of the whatever it is called valve that bolts to the injection line itself.

I'll get it...

For the brake lines???

That part of the system runs at 1200 psi...

I meant the fuel system you keep working on since D isn't up yet.

Of course not big AN for your power brakes, unless you go air brakes!!

I really should have gotten after the brakes or the fuel pressure gage, but I wanted to get the door panel on with some real live door handles, and that long awaited mount for the shotgun I have talked about.

The plan was to create a new plywood panel encased in fiberglass and finished to serve as the mount. I went as far as to cut out a panel, but when fitting it, I discovered the interior door panel is not flat, but has several protrusions. That all but makes a solid panel unbuidable (Easily) and since I didn't want another long winded project on this truck, I abandoned it

If you look at the bottom aft corner closely, you may notice some threaded studs sticking through the holes in the panel. Reason is, they will serve to fasten the lower muzzle catch for the 12 gage which will live there in the near future.

I'll cut an access into the elbow rest and create some apparatus to hold it in place. When the door is opened on exit one could simply pull it out to deploy...simple

Hey chief, this may be your guy...

Tlane, if you start at the beginning of this thread it has some if not all the issues.
I don't remember it all, but lots of white smoke, rough idle, no acceleration from idle etc.
If it's not all in this thread it's unfortunately in one of the previous three.
I suspect if Don calls it could be summed up rather easily.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb.  I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.

Like Sam stated, lots of detailed information throughout this thread, but in essence
I have checked and double checked the timing. I believe we set it at 16 degrees, but it's been so long I may not be correct about that
I pulled and replaced the pressure regulator valve on the output of the Bosch injection pump
I replaced the lift pump
and
checked the pressure, which I believe I have detailed with pics earlier. It was good at idle
When I try to rev the thing it just coughs and sputters and almost refuses to really rev up much
It blows out carpets of fuel rich white smoke
It occasionally makes a mechanical sound, something like the starter being bumped against a running engine.
I do not like that sound.
Oil pressure is normal
Fuel is fresh
I have a dual line inlet
and way back when, I recall when I was installing that dual line, the front plug was torqued to like one million ft/lbs. I had a big 1/2? breaker bar to finally break it loose. When It let go it did so with a shriek, almost a breaking sound. I thought at that time that I actually broke the injection pump apart. But the motor started, and the pump doesn't leak, so I suppose the pump may be OK.
The turbo revs very quickly (Small exhaust housing)
The motor does the same thing with either the marine injectors or the stockers, no appreciable difference

I have a fuel pressure gage sitting on my desk awaiting install, but presently I have a saw-mill to assemble and install down at the farm

Norm suggested the injectors don't seem to be reaching their pop pressure meaning the inj pump is toast
Pump:
Laser fully cut delivery valves
4000 RPM spring
#5 fuel plate
Dual fuel inlet
Factory lift pump, fed by two lift pumps making around 5-6 psi before the mechanical pump, no restrictions, 1/2" fuel line
Factory injector lines
New Bosch Marine injectors
Fresh motor, just over hauled
Marine pistons
Head studs
Good gaskets
Stock bore size
3 angle valve job
150# valve springs

3 things.

1. I've been watching Square D since before this forum was created and have read all the pages. Theres alot of reading! Lol so that summary helps.
2. White smoke = unburnt fuel. So with that being said the pump pressure either sucks, or its out of time by a tooth.
3.get me the engine serial number. 8 digits, probably starts with 7. And i will check out the pump specs on Quickserve.

Well, the sticker on the top side of the timing gear case is gone

The long factory tag below that has all sorts of information

I noticed an "Engine no. 5623981"

It has a build date of 03-28-95

And I noticed the timing was indicated to be 12.5 BTDC

There is an engine family number, a catalyst number, and a rather long "reference number"

But no serial number. I think I recall seeing that on the tag that was scraped off when I tightened on that front fuel feed line

Pay no mind to the 12.5. Engine number is your Engine Serial number. So let me see what i can dig up
