Project ugly duckling

[dazedandconfused]

Well went and saw Chris today and picked up the turbos for my twins.

[ellis93]

Well I see your feet are still intact

What are the turbos

[dazedandconfused]

Lol yeah my big feat always end up in the picture but no flip flops this time. They are a stock HX35 in need of rebuild and HT3B.

[ellis93]

Seen the kit for the 35 on ebay yesterday for cheap. Was less than 100$,I think I can't remember. I was looking up "93 cummins injectors" and that was one of the results.

[dazedandconfused]

Yeah I haven't looked yet. I may upgrade the compressor as well to 60mm just not made up my mind.

[dazedandconfused]

Well my starter finally burned up today which sucks. Anybody know a cheap place to get one?

[cmann250]

A rebuild should be cheapest. There's a place about an hour from me that rebuilds them no matter what's wrong for $60. There has to be a shop like that down by you. Good luck

[skilletky]

There used to be a shop off 3L that rebuilt stater's and alts. I don't know if they are still in business or not. I had one rebuilt there about 3 or 4 years ago. From what I know its still working

[dazedandconfused]

Yeah Rollies use to be down there but I heard they closed up. I ordered a reman today from Advance Auto Parts that is suppose to be in tomorrow. It was a pain to get the thing out. I couldn't get to the back bolt because of the blowby tube. I gotta replace that now too.

See I wear shoes as well.

[ellis93]

Shoes!!! Hot damn

[dazedandconfused]

Shoes!!! Hot damn

Only because it's 29* outside when I pulled it. The starter also apears to be factory since it has Chrysler stickers all over it. If so it did great to last 429,xxx miles.

[ellis93]

Yep. They tend to last awhile. Mine lasted to about middle of last year,had to put contacts in the noid

Frost bet toes would suck

[PToombs]

Andy, move the tube outside the starter. I managed to get the tube slid out of the way or the bolt out to get the starter out, then I just let the tube hang over the starter instead of trying to put it back against the block. Stiff SOB too.
Heater hose will work to replace the tube, no need to get fancy.

[RumbleFish]

^^^this. Enjoy your crappy advance starter. I hope it does alot better than the 3 I had before I got one that lasted longer than 60days.

[dazedandconfused]

Yeah I plan on just replacing the tube with a piece of hose and just letting it dangle. I had to cut the old tube off and still had trouble getting it out of the way. I couldn't bend it to save my life. I've used these starters on other guys trucks and haven't had issues but we will see.
