    High pressure power steering line part number?

    Great, thank guys. What I have found online just didn't look the same as mine but I think the previous owner may have cobbled something together. I think as long as I'm in there I'm just going to to replace everything, pump and return line as well. I see on Rock Auto there are pumps and high...

    High pressure power steering line part number?

    I have a leak and need to replace my high pressure P/S line. I have had no luck finding a part for sale online. Closest I can find is P/N F4TZ3A713A but it is specified for 94-97 model year. Looks extremely similar though. I have a 1990. Can anyone confirm that his part will work with a 1990 or...

    Batteries drained...

    Thanks for all the help guys. I'm a bit electrically ignorant I'm afraid to say. Like I said my truck's pretty tightly packed into my storage unit so I won't be able to get to doing some of this troubleshooting til I get some stuff cleared out.

    Batteries drained...

    My batteries are new as of either March 2013 or March 2014. Can't recall. My truck was only going to be in storage for a month or so so I guess I didn't consider disconnecting the battery. It sat unused from Oct '14 - Apr '15 and the batteries were perfectly fine so I feel pretty good about...

    Batteries drained...

    My truck has been in storage for about a month now. Everything seemed to work just fine when I parked it. I went to start it today and it had no power. No headlights, backlit gauge cluster, glowplug relay click, etc. The only electrical issue I've ever had was a parasitic drain from the dome...

    Duralift pump blew fuse

    Got the truck fired up this evening. Better brand of fuses did the trick electrically.

    Duralift pump blew fuse

    My understanding is that the glow plug relay has an always hot signal terminal when the truck is in run. The glow plug controller breaks the ground associated with the signal terminal when the glow plugs are up to temp. Instead of breaking the signal and having a constant ground (how I would...

    Duralift pump blew fuse

    Pin 87 goes to the positive terminal of the pump. The signal comes from the glow plug relay to pin 85. Pin 86 us grounded to the frame.

    Duralift pump blew fuse

    I used a 5 amp fuse and 18 AWG wire. The fuse is in line between the positive terminal of the battery and pin 30 of the relay.

    Duralift pump blew fuse

    I've finished the install of a Duralift electric fuel pump and was getting ready to prime to system and start my truck up. When I turned the key the fuel pump did not run. Through a series of electrical tests I determined the culprit to be 12V power from the battery not getting to my relay...

    Fuel Return Pressure

    Well I need to run 3/16" to 1/4" hence the question about fittings. The nipples at the tee fitting (3/16") that runs back to the tank by the firewall don't match the nipples at my new injector caps (1/4"). I realize the means I should have bought the 3/16" return line kit but I tore into the...

    Fuel Return Pressure

    What is the fuel pressure in the return lines? This obviously varies with RPM and how far the pedal is depressed, but can anyone get in the approximate ballpark for me? The reason I'm wondering is because I am getting some hose fittings for my fuel return system and want to make sure they are...

    Fuel System Air Leak

    Okay, I had figured that was going to have to be done. I was looking at a return line kit from Conestoga as I'd heard good things about their kits. How can you tell the difference between a 6.9 injector cap and 7.3 injector cap just by appearance? Are you suggesting that the nipples on the caps...

    Fuel System Air Leak

    I apologize. The first photo is actually what the majority of the injector cap assemblies look like. The second is the assembly in question. Thanks.

    Fuel System Air Leak

    This first photo is what the injector and injector cap assembly in question looks like. The following is what the remaining 7 injector cap assemblies look like. That gold component above the first union and that second union are the parts that I am unfamiliar with. This is for the...

    Fuel System Air Leak

    Yeah I figured that would be requested. I'll get those taken and posted tomorrow after work. Thanks again for your help.

    Fuel System Air Leak

    So I found my leak. Opened the hood and diesel was spritzing out of the first injector on the passenger side of the engine right next to the fuel filter. It appeared as though the injector cap is different than all the others on that cylinder. Should it be that way? I haven't ever heard of that.

    Fuel System Air Leak

    I replaced a Wix fuel filter with another Wix.

    Fuel System Air Leak

    Thanks for the advice. I installed a new FWS before I went to trying to start it up so it's brand new. What else could be done to prevent air leaks at the FWS?

    Fuel System Air Leak

    My truck had been sitting for 5 months before I got it started a few days back. It started up with only 4 cranks to get the fuel system primed. If the truck sits for approximately 12+ hours it will start progressively harder the longer I wait. Classic air leak symptom. My question is where would...

    Engine starts but then dies

    When I cracked the unions it did start. And they were wet with diesel. So fuel is going to the injectors. It seems to me to be a matter whether it is getting enough fuel. Does this seem like an accurate assessment? Haven't had a chance to check the fuel filter yet.

    Engine starts but then dies

    I had assumed there was a pump in each tank. If that is not the case then what does the fuel tank switch fundamentally change?

    Engine starts but then dies

    So I drove my truck on a 500 mile round trip a week and a half back. Ran great. I decided to start it up cause it had been over a week and I'm still learning all the quirks it has. It started up good, but then died. I assumed air musta leaked into the fuel system so I turned it over again...

    Coolant question

    See I was gonna say I noticed my reservoir is very low when cold, far below the halfway line. I obviously need to fix this asap but I've never noticed my temp gauge go much above C. I know it's a big engine and takes a while to get up to temp but this was even my observation when driving it up...

    Coolant question

    Let me clarify my question. My coolant reservoir only has one line on it. This line is about halfway full on the reservoir. Is it safe to assume this is the cold fill line? I guess I'd say that is better than assuming it's the hot fill line and being low on coolant...
