Being honest with this....it costinf plenty cheaper to rebuild bcuz people have good blocks for cheap and heads not that expensive...just can't listen to one place and bcuz they say everywhere is same price....i was corrected when i got my block for 4k. Head gasket metal for 225 at autorama. Hoses about 300$ total.

Ill try to add up the entire cost when im done. Bcuz yes 25k is easy way out with a FU engine but 25k is alot of money

I just need a turbo and ac compressor now.....will use cheap oil to start and idle for 10 mins then drain. Using kendall super xd diesel oil after.

Waiting on some cash for 75w90 gl5 synthetic oils for transfer case and diff.

Will just change inner and outter ends and end links for suspension as i noticed my cradles are still good.

Where it's the filter for the tranny? Show a picture.
Thanks.

TeamH2O · Postby **TeamH2O** » April 25th, 2017, 10:35 pm

Its on the side of the transmission, but I never bother to remove it after removing the pan in front...apparently that's just to access the solenoids. But it was like brand new so I didn't bother to open the filter side

SNIPER 3000 · Postby **SNIPER 3000** » April 26th, 2017, 12:27 am

Ok, thanks. Just saw a post from the power seller "m and r imports"on the forum have parts for our model. Whole front cut and engine.
You ever checked him?

That's if you change your oil on time.

TeamH2O · Postby **TeamH2O** » April 26th, 2017, 7:47 pm

yea, when I changed the oil, it was like new, but I still put new oil....I like to change tranny oil every year....but first time I see something new looking like that....I seen transmission internals in almost new state but this one, like factory new. lol

Mercenary · Postby **Mercenary** » April 26th, 2017, 9:23 pm

I do alot of driving so i change tranny oil every 6 months.

SNIPER 3000 · Postby **SNIPER 3000** » April 27th, 2017, 10:50 am

where you guys buy the oil?
SP111 right?
looking to change the reservoir oil this week.
Should be around 4 quarts?

ADONI · Postby **ADONI** » April 27th, 2017, 11:06 am

I get the SP3 by Parts Marketing for $65 a quart. price gone up, it use to be $60. I use about 5 and a lil thing. After my tranny rebuild I, was told to change every 24,000 km, which is about a year driving for me.

Awaiting on some cash for a boost and oil pressure gauge....I got a turbo and the thing like brand new, not a single bit of shaft play.

what did it cost you & do they have another turbo fs?

TeamH2O · Postby **TeamH2O** » April 29th, 2017, 10:05 am

Nope that turbo apparently hard to get. Usually foreign used is 3000 and more. Got this from a padnah for less....

This turbo basically looks like it have less than 1000k on if it even used so much

SNIPER 3000 · Postby **SNIPER 3000** » April 30th, 2017, 11:32 am

yuh score!

TeamH2O · Postby **TeamH2O** » May 1st, 2017, 4:27 pm

Started up last night and one injector was bad. Got one today and like it flooding...white smoke puffinf out intake

Stresssssss but when it started on 3 it was sounding nice...first time i heard the turbo....goes to show how dead ours was

TeamH2O · Postby **TeamH2O** » May 1st, 2017, 8:59 pm

So im checking my old injectors by pulsing them....two clicking....so i tried one...nothing.....

Put back the one the guy gave me....white smoke puffing out throttle body....i gave up for a while as today is my daughters bday....

I walked around and said lemme try the next one altho i was told all is bad....

Put it up etc and started.....it starts! No missfire and idling sweeeet revving out niceeeee....

Just to mount up tomorrow and get the power steering pump fitting with the two 10 bolts as mines broke.

Finally....this headache is over....

Word of advice to yall....if one injector is failing or leaking or giving trouble....you will have starting issues!

Apparently the major problems in CRDi vehicles is rail and sensors and injectors!

Did you replace the thermostat?
Looking to do this also. Yesterday I change the transmission fluids, colour still looked red when it come out.

TeamH2O · Postby **TeamH2O** » May 2nd, 2017, 5:28 pm

Removed thermostat....im not able with it sticking again and with the heat we are getting, its bound to stick again.

You sure this is the best idea bro? Correct me of I'm wrong, but remember without the thermostat, the engine will probably never reach optimum temperature or it will take a lot longer to get there. Considering the operating principles of a diesel engine, these are not the most favorable conditions for same..

TeamH2O · Postby **TeamH2O** » May 2nd, 2017, 6:45 pm

I actually been two minded with diesel and thermostat so im still undecided if i might run with it off.....considering my wife will use it for work it will be hard to sit in town idling for 10 mind to get it to temp so i might get a new one from the company

OK cool bro, that's what I'm thinking. I paid approximately $145 for my thermostat in Massy. Speaking of Massy, I went to find out about the water trap sensor yesterday..the woman said $445 yes..didn't someone say it was like $285 or so in SSL?? Tried enquiring via phone yesterday, its like pulling teeth..But if people's $300k vehicles don't matter to them, my $300 part..pssh.
