Yes I was aware of the front springs lift. I thought it would be a good thing because I have a heavy front bumper and the rear seemed to be higher. There is about 3 inches lift at that time but they will probably settle at about 2" with time (?) It seems that my rear springs are a little tired...

My goal is to lift the rear about 2 inches when empty. I don't think airbags will help a lot for that (unless fully inflated...), but I understand the benefits of airbags when loaded.

Anyone has good experiences with helper springs or add a leaf (Skyjacker, Fabtech, etc...) ? Since I'm not ready to replace the whole spring packs...

Hye, One of my front springs was broken so after some readings, I installed Skyjacker D25 front springs. The new springs are a lot taller than the 24 years old ones... my truck is now taller on the front than on the rear, and I have a heavy front bumper. Could my rear leaf springs be tired ...

There is too much oil everywhere. I have to pressure wash it again and let it idling for a while to see if the main seal is leaking. I hope this week-end because too much work until friday. I'll keep it posted. Thanks !

I've re-checked the rear valve cover and no leak. I might have a leak at the front gear cover because it's oily under the front of the engine, on the trans hoses and the cross member (under the pan). I will take more time this week-end to crawl under to have a look at the main seal and cam plug...

I've replaced the valve cover gaskets when I adjusted the valves because some of the old ones were in bad shape. I can not see any oil leak behind the rear cover. I've checked with a mirror and put my fingers, no oil there. The leak seems to be worst every day, I have to find out because I hate...

When I said lean, I wanted to refer to the star wheel adjustment. Since I have no smoke at all, even if I step briefly on the go pedal in neutral, I'm wandering if I could turn the starwheel up a few clicks to give a little more fuel at low rpm before boost. Perhaps ''lean'' is not the good...

Since my last post I've used the truck as a daily to go to work and I noticed some things that I dislike : - the tappett cover is not leaking anymore but I do have an other bad oil leak (my hand palm every morning on the driveway...). It seems to leak by the little cover at the front of the...

Me too ! I've just finished mine (12v) and no more leaks.

I took my time but the truck is running now and starts better than ever, and no more leaky tappet cover. I've adjusted the valves since I had to replace the valve cover gaskets and it was a good thing. I replaced the serpentine belt too and thought I should preventively replace the water pump...

I was thinking so, but the manual seems a bit weird to me ... In the same idea, when you have to turn the engine clockwise for the second mark, I think you can not do so if you have tightened the adjusting screw for the valve five turns. Otherwise the valve spring is completely compressed so you...

I'm there finding TDC with that method but I'm confused. In the manual, they tell to use the intake valve but on fig.63 and 64 they show the exhaust valve...

The tappet cover is on the side of the block, behind the injection pump.

The tappet cover gasket is completely dry and broken at the base. I've replaced it but the cover itself was rusty with holes in it after a good cleaning... With the IP out I decided to go with 3K governor springs, much easier. And now I am ready to install the pump but the damned plastic timing...

Yes, I think the gasket becomes hard with the years and the heat. I will wait for a good weather day since the truck does not fit in the garage !

Can not pressure wash it at that time, but I can see oil around the tappet cover... Our trucks are going very rusty here (Quebec Canada...) and since this gasket is original and more than 23 years old... Is pulling out the injection pump mandatory for this repair ?

When I see the clearance with the cross member, I believe you...

The KDP has been done years ago, and the leak does not seem to be at the front, but I will check the cover just in case. Thanks.
