What did you do to your Gen 1 today?

1stGEN93, also check the front cooler lines. One of them has a check valve in it. Maybe it’s not fully opening and closing? A new line is about $16 from RockAuto. It would be a cheap and easy attempt to swap out. When my trans got hot, it sounded like a small metal bell was ringing while the truck was running.

“You definitely need to have the check valve in there” is what a tranny shop told me. I had the stock cooler on the block by the turbo, then removed the stock cooler and lines from the front of the truck, and installed an aftermarket cooler with standard rubber lines. I didn’t know about the check valve when I built my truck. The tranny guy told me to use stock lines with the check valve in it. I forget the routing of which line (in or out) gets the check valve. I guess it holds the pressure to the converter. Mine seemed to run ok for about 4K miles without it, but then it started having issues.... you should be able to splice one in with a few hose clamps. Worth a shot.

73crewcab....is your KSB hooked up? If it is try disconnecting it and see if your power issues improve. If the AIT sensor is faulty and it's constantly in advance timing mode you can loose a little grunt.

I’m still learning, so can you please explain to me what KSB and AIT mean?

Just kidding. It's the little hangy-down thing attached to the lower part of your injection pump, with the same type of ring terminal connection as the fuel shut-off solenoid. It gets a signal when the intake air is cold and advances the pump timing a little, if I understand correctly.

Oh no! I hit a bump and they both fell right off the side of my P-pump. My “grunt” got to move up to the front seat this week, since I finally installed the passenger side bucket seat... I’m either really nice, or I’m tired of removing my kid’s car seat to haul the grunt around, then reinstalling it after I’m done for the day

Your KSB is your Kaltstartbeschlueserung. Does that clear things up for you?

[QUOTE=73CrewCab;3344733][left]Well, it rained last night. Then the sun came out until about 4:30pm and it started raining again. Went to Lowes to grab some grass seed and steer poop... I figured it would be a good idea after I saw some mud plop down from the frame of my truck and one of the guys said “looks like cow schtuff”. I saw this big mud puddle and since I was done early today...and my truck was clean...and I had nothing else to do... and I DO have a pressure washer.... I figured that it was “Figure 8 Tuesday”.
I like how you mounted your LED bar. Most only look good on newer trucks but yours is in a good spot. Plus you wouldn't get the glare off your hood. When do you use it?

Like any red blooded American citizen, he uses it to blind oncoming traffic that has their high beams on coming at him

Yup, especially during snow events, here. Dang nabbit plow jockies.
This is an enforcement issue, just like on my own street of which leads to a local k-3 school. For 24 years I have complained to the local police regarding the inconsiderate mothers (and bus drivers) who fly up my street to the school every single day. 60+ mph on a 25 mph street. These cops will NOT do anything about it, period. They tell me,that if it bothers me that I should take photos or video of the offender, and come to the station and file charges.
They don't give a rat's coolio. Just like the folks who drive around with those led lights on all the time.

AFC Diaphragm
So I plan to check the diaphragm today after school. To check it will it be obvious to where I only need to take off the very top cover, or do I have to take off the whole afc housing? Should I check the diaphragm or just order a new one and replace it for good measure? They are only $20, so I wouldn’t be too upset about needing to replace a 25 year old piece of rubber.
