Re: 87 Chevy Crew Cab 4x4 Converion/Cummins swap

Nothing much would change as far as my swap to do the Ppump setup. I already have everything set to take an hx35 and intake arm for the intercooler setup. Thats the least of my worries after all I've done.


On another note, I thought of something else I changed that may be the issue. I changed the oil!

It had oil in it when i got the engine initially, and I ran it on the garage floor with that oil, and ran it in the truck the first few times with that oil....then I changed it to rotella and did filter etc.

I noticed when I was running it without the turbo and just had my feed line routed to my drain tube that when it was cold it would spew back out, as in it wasnt draining to the pan fast enough. SO maybe that was my issue in that it was flooding the turbo and leaking past the seals and wound up back in my manifold and now I am just fooling with residual oil. Just happened to have bad injectors to throw into the mix. Going to probably redo my drain this week and maybe even put the hx35 on since my stocker is an oil mess at this point.


Got my clutch hydraulics in and working. Brakes are bled. Waiting on a call for the driveshaft. Been holding off on putting in my sound deadener and the seat on the account that I may have to yank the trans and engine again, but I think at this point I'm gonna go ahead and throw it all in there.
