Want this question answered?
I would lilke to know the answer to this as well. Having the same problem all of a sudden.
Short in the wiring or one of the bulb receptacles.
If this is the 3.9 Turbo Diesel it probably would take the same as a 1991 which is 8.4 quarts
you certainly can but the only engine that is made disesl that would fit that truck would be an Isuzu and you would have to modify some stuff on it
If the carb is blowing air OUT instead of sucking air in then you possibly have a bad intake valve. As the piston comes up then the air is forced out the intake valve and back thru the carb. Another possibility is that the timing chain or timing belt is broken and then the piston again is pushing the air out the intake valve. The definitive test would be to run a compression test.

The first things to check are the air intake, the fuel pump/filter and the governor.
I would also like to know this. Our van's healights and dash lights both flicker. The headlights are not very bright.
I am not 100% sure but as I understand it if some combustible substance (like an oil leak in a car) gets mixed with the air intake then it will cause the engine to rev up even if you cut the fuel intake (as the oil leak is a second, uncontrolled fuel intake). A lot of diesel engine have safety measures to cut the air intake if it over-revs thus stopping both the intake of air and of the second, uncontrolled fuel intake and thus cutting out the engine. The above answer is derived from reading discussion about the diesel engines on the Deep Water Horizon (2010 BP oil spill) possibly not having such air flaps to cut the air intake (or inoperative ones) as a possible cause for the explosion that sank the drilling rig given that when the well kicked a large amount of natural gas would have been mixed with the air and if it went to the diesel engine would cause it to rev up. If there were no (working) air flaps then it would cause the engine to over-rev to destruction and thus cause the igniting spark. As of writing it is just conjecture as said diesel engine is still at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico.
No, it wouldn't work. Even if the intake system would support a turbo, the exhaust systems are completely different.
Vacuum leak on hose from intake manifold to brake booster.
Bracketry Systems in Texas makes a bracket kit to replace the factory alternator with a J180 mount 200 amp alternator
