Dirty Injectors? Clean them!

Clutch and tranny
Nope you sound like your on track for the most part... Just take your time be safe about having that beast way up in the air... I use a pull strap from frame to frame to protect me from the trans if it should fall. Make sure the throw-out bearing gets up on the collar of the input shaft... You'll know because the slave hole the fork will be close to the hole if correct if not it will be deep inside...

Dirty Injectors? Clean them!
Seriously... Drive down I'll whip through most of it... Of course you get to do most of the work while I hold my beer in one hand and a video camera in the other telling you what to do...

Cam cover down on the driver side above the ECM... Run the length of the cam..

Dirty Injectors? Clean them!
Cool... I really shocked to see the 12V injector is very close in design to the 24V other than body and nozzle differences they appear to have the very same guts as a 24V injector... Wow! Now I guess I get to build a page for 12V and 24V injector cleaning... And you get to help out ISX... See what happens when you try to best me...

injectors with connector tubes
Like Jim said there is no reason to change the connector tubes unless they are damaged. Now if the injectors have been in there a long time it might be a good idea to change the O-rings on the connector tubes for safety sake...

In tank fuel pump
Right on the money... If there was a intank pump there would be a aluminum block in place of the old carter pump on the block.

Tappet cover gasket
Really... Boy someone got your goat... I just check my Mitchell 1 books and its a 4.7 hour job... Period! Not hard to do either... Pull the fuel filter, ECM, and VP44 and change it out... I did my buddy's 92 Dodge in about 4 hours...

Clutch and tranny

Hmmm... Really... Thats a shocker?! Your right it is... Now how would want to do a dumb thing like that? I'll have to stomp on them? Whao! hostage??? But I could build the directory of links to the weird things I come up with I'm sure I can get the mods to help out with tidbits too. Yet me see what I can do...

Problems Hoohing up new sport Headlights "NEED WIRING DIAGRAM"
This is the best I can show you... The is my setup on my fog lamps. At least you can see the relay and the pins and how I dealt with the constant +12V and switched ground.. Looking at the wiring diagram and looking closely at your post the wiring seems correct but there is something wrong with the relays I'm starting to think... You could try dracozny idea... The only thing that comes to mind is make sure you looking at the right pins on the relay... 30, 87, 87a run the 3 up the middle where 86 and 85 are sideways and run up the side typically.

Turbo Cap - Boost leak tester...
Well gang... I'm back at it again... Had to build another tool for the Cummins. I built a simple cap for the mouth of the turbo out of a small piece of 4" ABS sewer line, 4" ABS cap, air hose fitting (male), and the rubber sewer boot... Here is a short vid I shot of it... I got a new hose on it... And relize there was still a small air leak remember the bleed hole in the boost elbow... :banghead:

manual mirrors
Oh wow... Ummm... First thought to mind is Ebay or your local wrecking yard... I'm pretty sure a switch from a 94-02 models would work...

Need ideas..
Geez... You guys...

Problems Hoohing up new sport Headlights "NEED WIRING DIAGRAM"
All I can say is double check you wiring closely and maybe use a DVM to check polarity of the wire with the headlights on... Like you said somewhere down the line you got a short to ground...

fuel filter change
I need to gather up the AD filter number and update a filter list on my HTML page... Very Helpful information...

Injectors
RV275 are +40 HP... RV275 - 235 (stock) = 40 HP... The 110 are +110 HP over stock... Or a total of 345 HP (roughly)

OMG! Safety devices that become harmful...
I'm sitting here working the forum and listening to the scanner of the local sheriff. About 2 miles from me a motorhome had a flat tire not a blow out but just a flat tire. The onboard computer shutdown the engine and left the motorhome stranded in a blind corner. The local sherif was calling for a tow and the owner must of a found a way to temporary disable the tire sensor to get off the road... They are now calling off the tow truck... I'm so glad I don't have all hese weird features on my truck... I use what called a tire pressure gauge and check my tire pressures often... In 24 years of driving I've only had a few flat tires... Mostly being off road...

Dirty Injectors? Clean them!
I was setup from yesterday and measuring the torque value of the first six as I went along at the point of click it always broke free... Typically I don't do this but I always un-do the TQ value and normally don't use it as a breaker bar but I'm trying to be watchful of the torque numbers... So far the average click is about 30-32 ft/Lbs... I want to make sure I get them back as close as possible not sure if this has a effect on pop pressure or not... Oh... ISX I had all day yesterday to cuss and ****** about screwing up.
