I have fat fingers, poor eyesight, and a bad hip, don't judge.... ;)

Nice Lain!

Seller said to try reloading the whole thing. So I'll delete is all and try again. If that does not work, I'll send you screen shots of the errors. Thanks for any help, I was a little put off by having to install multiple new, unfamiliar software programs on my computer. Thought, I'd just be...

Yes, took a while to download. Went through 3 pages of instructions to unzip, set up virtual box etc., then would not start due to 'invalid settings'. Tried to change the settings, but the OK button would not highlight to accept the setting changes :rolleyes: I took screen shots and reached...

That would be awesome if the lithium starter batteries work!! The bats in my truck are freaking heavy. Please keep us updated.

Thanks! I bought it. I had bought the disc's before, but one disc was blank. No support by seller :( Hopefully this one works!

I tried that, struggled with it trying to work around the belts and hard lines. I didn't even know it was there at first :rolleyes: My search for a shop manual continues... I was laying on the top of the engine trying to figure out why it wasn't releasing as I had loosened the top adjusting...

Ha! I have the firetruck reflective strips on my rig. The other night I walked out to take out the trash and the motion detector kicked on the lights. Truck lit up! caught me by surprise :oops:

That's interesting, I was also going to do an before and after weight, but didn't think of a stripped down weight metric. That would quantify exactly how much my fully kitted box weighs. 'Ranger' (working name of rig) weighs 18,612lbs or 8460kg for my more advanced friends.

When Terra Exp showed me the cab lift, that's as far as we went. I have pumped it until the mechanism started started giving me difficult feedback, so as far as I know this is the limit for a doka. I don't have a frame of reference really other than the pic Mog posted of another doka. What...

New alternator/starter/belts/batteries charged back up- It's alive! One of my neighbors came over and said "what is that beast?" I'm not sure he gets the whole overlanding thing.

I'm really getting into this project....

Wow, typically turbos are good for 100-150k miles. Of course my experience with them is on my turbo sports cars, not on a low rpm diesel engine. I could put the $1K towards many, many other things I need. I just keep thinking about a part failure out in the middle of nowhere and me trying to...

Another FYI- (I know you pro's may find this old news, but for the sake of any other new owners, or part # changes, I thought I'd share) My truck only has 57K miles on it, but I'm considering replacing the turbo. Again, wanting a baseline for maintenance and will rebuild or have rebuilt the...

Thanks for the info! Still thinking about where to install the EGT. Although turbo's are typically good for 100K miles, I'm debating replacing mine at 57K, then using it as a spare. If I do that, I'll install the probe on the exhaust manifold. Part of the decision making process I'm using...

It looks like a sensor of some type to me. There's no hole in the ends for any air passages. I'll remove it when I get in there again and see if there are any clues. FYI, the BDI link above I provided as a belt resource. Their inventory said in stock, but they just informed me it will be...

OK, a mystery to solve. While 'roaming' around under the rig, saw this swinging in the wind. On the passenger side of motor, can't find any obvious place it goes. Could be part of what was removed from truck to decommission it? I was told it was German law to take all firetruck lights, etc. off.

Wow, looks great Geo!

Got the belts off, (hidden bolt tensioner took a minute to find/get to) same size belts as yours. For some reason, my Google-**** was not working and the Gates green belts in the right size were not coming up. The existing belts are Optibelts LA's and I found a source in the US...

What kind of temps are you getting Jon? I had my engine IP tweaked/injectors bench flowed. And I know you did a turbo upgrade.
