Bad o-rings because they were cheap/inferior? How many miles since we installed those injectors Mike?

The fun had to end eventually... It was great seeing old friends and making new ones. I'll post some of my pics tomorow, errr, later today...... Good nite!!!

I'm good in the tent well below freezing - especially with my electric blanket. :blitzed:

I'll be there with my mutt (and the creepy guy from NJ). :toast: http://youtu.be/Vi0tje6xfWs

Big time!! ;)

The 'new' HPOP had an IPR in it - I didn't even unbolt it. Yep, its workin' good!! Thanks again!!!!!! :rockon:

Nope, didn't have time to fool with it. I had another HPOP/IPR in KS and (thanks to Chris) I just threw it on. I'll just replace IPR when I can afford to upgrade HPOP. As soon as I get a chance, I will tear the old IPR down and look for an obvious issue - but I'm not optimistic I will see a...

Made 3000psi and DC never got to 40% on test drive (pulling a ~1 mile grade at +35psi of boost). I gotta go to the machine shop 40mi away in the and pick up a head for another project in the AM and go 'over the mountain' to pick up my 9yr old in the afternoon - so we'll have more data after the...

Installed a different HPOP/IPR. Problem solved. Thanks for the replies!! :thumbsup:

That video was partial throttle going up the mountain. Additional throttle made no difference and less throttle produced lower ICP/DC numbers. Coasting/idling on the way down the mountain gave me something like 14% DC and ~500psi. I'm gonna go thru this now, but it looks like I'll land at...

Here is a quick video after it warmed up: SES is from P1211 code. (duh!!) Before operating temp, I saw ICP closer to 2000psi (and better power) - but DC was still way higher than normal... I just finished project number 7672324 and moved it out of the shop. The X is going in and the IPR...

Thanks guys. Yes, oil changed with inj. o-rings (Motorcraft filter) and after looking it has been closer to <4k miles. UOA's for this engine have always come back good with dino oil (Delo/Rotella) at 5k mile OCI. The tin nut is tight. The longblock has <80k miles, but the HPOP (it was a...

Wouldn't injector(s) cause it to run poorly? It is as smooth as glass - just no power... I had the injectors out <5k miles ago (they were new from Alliant ~70k miles ago). They looked good on the outside :p and went back in with new Alliant o-rings. This was an all-of-a-sudden event. I...

'00 Excursion in sig. Truck has been running great since engine transplant (from F350 in sig) with T4/S366 and Gearhead tunes. It was making 2600psi and DC never went over 40%. Almost 5k miles on Delo 400 - dipstick shows ~1qrt low. Also 5k on new ICP sensor and (Alliant) injector o-rings...

Nice! Look forward to the pic!!! :thumbup:

Advance?? He told me 'southern MO'. http://www.advancedmfg.net/buffhome.htm When I bought this one, he did not take credit cards and I had to snail mail him a check - but he built it and shipped it as soon as he got my $$. He is (was anyway) a small shop and does everything himself... It...

This one is from Advanced Mfg in MO: Its mostly 3x5 square tubing and 3/16" plate. I had him add the hitch receiver and d-rings, but it retails for $1050 w/$150 shipping.

I like this grill!!!! I was gonna paint the outside of this one and the bumper on my X white. Fwiw, I didn't like the tinted headlights on the white truck and sold them to a friend. It was only installed for this pic and is back in the box now. I'd kinda like to sell it since the X...

The kids and I used spring break to drag our Excursion home from KS last week, not the biggest or heaviest load I've towed in 250k miles with this truck - but maybe the most precious cargo!! I love the Excursion, inappropriately sometimes...:jawdrop: 2200mi round trip, we burned about 15gals...

Thanks man. Its just killing me to be home all this time and not be able to do anything to the X!!! I have a few other projects I could be doing while I wait for engine to go back in. Its just as well if he's not ready for me yet, the time I've been off work doesn't hurt toooo bad - but the...
