Mr. Ames I too was hooked into the 1/8 NPT port on top of the oil filter for the mechanical guage. When it started the dash gage held at 40 and the mechanical when to 75 at idle! I was afraid to state this orgionally cause I thought the old gage I was using may have been off. I have not had...

Thanks to everyone for their reply to my delima of no oil press during cranking. After talking to a former Dodge diesel mechanic, I am back in the land of diesel fumes again. He suggested to keep cranking for at least 1min or until it cranked - which ever comes first. I primed the injectors...

I am planning on replacing my head gasket on my 96 12v. (Due to excess crankcase pressure blowing oil out the vent above 8psi boost. It uses no oil as long as I stay below that boost pressure. I can't gripe at 400K. ) Replacing injectors and doing a valve job while I've got the head off. I...

Will be interested in complete engine. Was the engine running when it locked up? You said midsouth as location, How far from Dallas, Tx?

My 96 12v stock engine, 4sp, with 215,000 on a new short block ( all other engine compoents have 385,000 on them. Block replaced after a quick lube station left the oil plug loose. ) has taken to blowing oil out the breather tube when the boost exceeds 10psi. This is to the tune of 2 gallons in...
