    No I have not. You are refering to the brass fitting to connect the return lines with the IP? Is there also one in the shrader valve? Is this a ball bearing check valve? Is it as simple as unscrew, clean, reinstall? Thanks.

Runs for a couple minutes, then sputters out and dies again. Cranks for 20 seconds fires, runs rough, and idles...

    Home made grille guard

    Looks great, I also like the "DIESEL" plus the "4X4" emblems. Ever think about adding some wrap-around bars over the headlights?

    Block Heater

    I used mine every morning for a season. Hard starts due to bad plugs, just pluged the truck in about two hours before take-off, and It was all good. Things I know about are to not use an extention cord longer then 50' (of one that can handle the Amp draw) but thats about it. Ive read somewhere...

    Injector leak that bad?

    Happend to me, noticed the black oil patches wherever I parked. Spent some time looking for the start of the leak, down the back of the motor. Finally noticed the wet return lines and pool of diesel, (was leaking off the back and down, collecting all the old oil on its way) Return line kit...

    6.9 return lines on 7.3?

    Alright so From what I gather, all the injectors, the fuel filter, and the IP need to drain back to the tank. So using a hose T, I can run lines connecting all components. This forum holds a wealth of information, Thanks so all. One more slightly related question, Just got a remaned injector...

    6.9 return lines on 7.3?

    Alright, So both the fuel filter and Pump need to drain. correct? So this means I need to reuse a cap and route it the way it was before?(the way in the pic) Why would a 6.9 kit come with an end cap? Im between return lines, the way it was routed is in yellow(pic).

    6.9 return lines on 7.3?

    Alright, So if this kit only comes with 3 90* Tcaps and 1 End cap. Should the end cap be on the pass. bank, with the Fuel filter head Caped off? Would this be Okay? Does the fuel filter need to drain to the return lines? If so, I could use one 90* T cap from the old caps?

    6.9 return lines on 7.3?

    So 6.9 and 7.3 both have lines that connect the return lines with the fuel filter head, and the IP?, and a T connection at the rear of the engine?

    6.9 return lines on 7.3?

    Thats pretty much it. I ordered a return line kit for my 7.3 and appear to have recieved a kit for a 6.9. (T caps straight through instead of off to the side) I recall reading some members perfer using the 6.9 lines on 7.3's, just wanting to verify. So as some of you know, the 6.9 lines...

    Get me Grounded!

    At least I think thats the answer. Problem is the glowplug system (somewhere along the line) does not function properly regularly. When the ignition is turned to "ON", normally the glowplug system should begine to heat and cycle. Well this only happen about %10 of the time, I can tell this...
