you will know if the pump has been tampered with if the tamper proof screw on the AFC is beat up or remove/replaced/broke.

As for the 3rd gear grind, sounds like ther syncro is goin out. only 'patch' is to learn to drive it 'right' (matching rpms, where the syncro doesnt do anything) and double clutching. my truck has nearly 500k on it now and the 2/3 syncros are starting to get finiky, especially when its cold. floating or double clutching and it will drop right into any gear no problem.

i will advise against floating it untill you get alot of hours behind it and can actually float it properly or you WILL tear out whats left of the syncros very fast

Not to sound liek a smart A$$, but what is rare about this truck? I had the exact truck and I know of atleast 4 more in my imediate area...What am I missing?

Ok, AFC screws? tell me where to look.

Tried to double clutch, still grinds will only float at a really LOW rpm range.

I did notice there is some oil or something oily around the lower intercooler boots, frame rail and stuff on the turbo side. Is there something on that side I need to check out?

what makes them rare is that there quad cab 4doors , with 12v motors .. i think ... all the ones ive seen were 2door

 

[ykdave]

Exactly, they are 'rare' in the fact that you have the old 12v engine in the newer 4door body style. Not really a huge specialty, but they are kind of oddball.

The AFC is the big ol contraption ontop of the rear of the injection pump. it has 4 screws holding it down. one of them, from the factory is a tamper proof screw which has a round mushroom head on it that cannot be taken out easily.

Do some research and you will find that in 1998 MOST 12 VALVE trucks was club cab (2 doors) not quad cabs! And the other quad cabs in 1998 was 24 valve engines!

Also, from what I have seen in and around your location those trucks are 24 valve trucks and a couple of them are 1999 models..........

What about the "starwheel" everyone talks about, would that have anything to do with the smoke?

Diesel Database :: Turning Up A P7100 Pump

I checked the AFC today in the light and found that someone has been into it. Has the one screw gone and the other three has been out before along with the 8mm alan wrench deal on the top. So my guess is someone did some adjustments on this truck.

Also check the exhaust system and it has been changed to 4" from the turbo back, well whatever the turbo is then flair out to 4" about 3" down from the turbo.

Guess that's why I have a little smoke and good go!

 

[nostroker]

Any ideas on the oil or oily spots on the passenger side? Does not leak in my driveway, just oily crap covering everything. Also found some other oily stuff around the brake booster, but they have added some type of vaccum or hydro. trailer brake deal too....

 

[nostroker]

Here is a couple of pitures I got today. Truck is dirty right now, but does have clear LED lights in the fenders and tailgate.

You lucky sob. That's exactly what I'm looking for! I'm on a dually kick lately and I need 4 doors. Well I'm looking for your truck in 4wd, is that what you got or is it a 2wd?

Mine is 2WD.... 4WD is hard to find around here even in the newer trucks.

I am sending it to the detail shop today and having the outter edge of the tail light painted white to match also.
