Hullo all, I have been a member for a while now, my son & I joined together when he bought his patrol. I have now bought a 4x4 as well, unfortunately not a patrol , a short wheel wheel base cruiser FRP top with a Brunswick 6.5L conversion done in 2005/6. I was wondering if anyone has had a similar problem to what I have experienced only a few times, problem is, when going around a corner RH down, not accelerating, just steady throttle it suddenly gives a bit of a boost. This has only happened about 3 or 4 times & could be a bit disastrous if the road is a bit wet. i was thinking maybe there is a loose wire on one of the heater coils, I can't think of anything else that would cause something like this in a diesel, the only other thing is I am just imagining this, or just too much lead in the foot as Kev says . any help will be appreciated.
Thanks guys.
Just a quick bump for ya dad. I think it has something to do with the fact you love the sound of it and you can't help yourself. I know I wouldn't be able to. Lol.
It could have something to do with a loose wire on the injector rail and it not firing on all eight until it connects.

Snatch straps on towballs can harm and/or kill!!!!!!
yea it is mechanical pump, conversion was done 2005. yea it also has a lift pump.
I would be starting with checks on the electric lift pump and all fuel lines. You may have a restriction, something could also be resting on a fuel line and going around a certain corner might relieve the line allowing the right amount of fuel. Also check the return to the tank is clear of restrictions.
Right, I checked all the lines, all ok, there was 1off return line that was loose so i snipped a bit off & re-fitted it, made no difference. i checked all the glow plugs with multi meter, & there were 2off that had open circuit so i'm looking for replacements, surely the glow plugs are only used on start up & if 2 were not working it would be a bit rough when cold & then improve as the engine warmed up, they wouldn't cause a surge in power if you going at a constant speed, or would i be wrong in assuming that (please say I'm wrong). The lift pump is mechanical & if the diaphragm was blown I wouldn't get any fuel.
Would anyone in WA know where I would be able to get 2 glow plugs for a 6.5L chevy, AC 11 G is the number on them. The local Auto 1 has tried numerous places including Coventry's with no luck.
