Hey guys. I’m replacing all my sensors for preventative maintenance since I still have the originals installed. I already did the camshaft sensor. Genos garage lists the 2001 as having a crankshaft position sensor as well. I didn’t think my 2001 had one? Does anyone know for sure if I have one...

Do you leave the injectors lines loosened while you crank for 20 seconds then close them? I’ve been loosening one at a time. Is this correct? #4 and #5 are the only ones I’m getting fuel out of. I also cracked the inlet to the injection pump and I’m getting strong pressure there. Thanks.

Hi. So I think I screwed up by trusting my fuel guage and letting my tank go to 1/8 full. I parked it on a slope and when I returned it started and then quickly died. I tried bleeding it after pushing the truck to a level spot. While cranking a bit more I got the check engine light and the...

Currently on a 5 year trip with my rig exploring South America..

Thanks for the help. I ordered one of these. PTP Turbo Blankets Holset HX35 Turbo Blanket - Lava NO Amazon Affliate Links Allowed.d/18K63Hf

Hey guys and gals. What is the best turbo heat wrap out there? I’m trying to limit the amount of heat coming off my turbo since it’s damaging some lines I installed on that side of the engine bay. I’m assuming most heat comes off the turbo and not the exhaust pipe. Or should I wrap that also...

Thanks For the suggestions. I ordered an extra fuel pump as a spare. It comes with a 10 Liter tank, but I really want to plumb it into my main tank for ease of filling and less diesel smell in the camper. Also, I’ve heard that 10 L really isn’t that much capacity if boondocking in the snow a...

Thanks. I already have a draw straw for my engine lift pump. Can’t hook it up there. I’m going to try one of these instead. Fuel Tank Standpipe 650mm x 5mm for Webasto Air and Webasto Water Heaters 1320399A 35320A NO Amazon Affliate Links Allowed.d/3nSG6xh

Thanks for the suggestions. I have a metal pickup tube I’m thinking of using instead. Hopefully it will reach down into the tank far enough…

Thanks for the info. I’m going to be inserting rigid plastic 1/4” line, so I’m not too worried about restricting flow when I fill my tank..

I have a fuel tank question for you all.. I know there’s a roll over safety valve on top of the fuel canister.. Is there some type of valve on the fill line? I’ve heard there might be an anti siphon screen of some sort. Any way to break through that screen? I’m trying to plumb in a fuel...

Yea. I was thinking that may be a possibility. I deleted my CAD system years ago. I like keeping my wiring nice and tidy. I had a mechanic replace the A/C compressor a few weeks back and he probably yanked on my tye wrapped bundle. I was hoping someone here knew for sure what that connector...

Anyone know what this connector goes to? I found the wires cut and was wondering where they should go. Thanks.

Thanks for the info, but I’m leaning towards my alternator being the culprit. The guy that rebuilt mine took parts from like 5 others to make it. He didn’t even have the right voltage regulator so he showed me how to rewire it..
