sweet! so do you turn them on the truck or on a bench? Is it something you can do with the engine running? Do you just turn them till they stop or can you go too far?
Do you have a probe in each exhaust runner? Do you loosen slightly and turn while running and try to achieve a smooth idle?I twist em on the truck also........you just can't be scared. And I have had no issues with the one's that I have done. Gary

No, I didn't try yet. Do you know for a fact I will fail?
Maybe you could rig up 6 short fuel lines and have them dump into graduated cylinders and turn the motor over with the starter. Of course then you'd have to rig up some sort of injectors and probably burn up a starter in the process.
Seems like EGT's might get you close. Maybe someone could drill a stock "test" manifold with 6 egt probes and a data logger/ big display setup. By the time you bought all of the parts, you could pay a shop to build a tricked out pump with precise flow and a few internal goodies.
What is the point of balancing a pump any how?
All cylinders have slightly different conditions like temperature cylinder #5 and #6 run hotter than #1.
We know that there is cylinder head port differences on #1 and #6 on the 24v so those ports have less air flow than the rest.
My point is what is the point in having all barrels output the same fuel volume being some intake ports flow better than others, and some are getting different temperature air. All cylinders have variation. It seems to me that if it is possible it would be best to tune each barrel for each cylinders needs.
And these trucks are running just fine after you guys do this? I just can't beleve its that easy.
Hey go for it! I mean really, there is not that much to tuning a pump, the pros have only been doing it forever!
Hey it has to be simple...at least after reading this thread, right?
Well when you make posts with this sarcasm included it makes me wonder why you are even on this board. Apparently you are not here to educate yourself if you are scared of learning on an old pump and engine. Face it, you will never be a pump pro. You might want to think about picking up the latest issue of diesel power and finding the Banks advertisement to get bolt-on parts for your ride.
Why bump? Did you try and fail??? :what:
:thankyou2: But, I had the fortunate experience of watching someone else try it on the truck and fail! Hence this previous post.
