Got mine in. Arrived Saturday...so what, 4 days from paypal to in hand? No complaints.
Installing the pump made my other fuel system issues that much more apparent. Spent most of the weekend chasing leaks and air bubbles with my clear tubing. After several tries and dies about 2 miles from the house, I found that my solid tube that runs along the frame had something wrong with it. It'd end up getting plugged somewhere along the line and causing a vacuum. I'm thinking a section of hose bubbled internally and cut off flow. Strangely enough I could release the vacuum and things would work fine for a mile or so before it'd start to starve again. My solution was to take 15 feet of clear tube and just run a new line. Problem solved....until I get the time and funds to run real hose along its intended path.
Also sitting there with all the cranking I was doing put a strain on the batteries...which in turn cooked the alternator first time she fired off. Woo! Spent Sunday evening at the parts store, got a replacement, but "Made in Mexico" bolted it together backwards, had to reclock it in the lot without my pick tools to retain the brushes. I'll say that was fun. At least it tested positive after I got it back together.
With it all in and working, she fires up a lot sooner than she used to. Once my glow plugs come in, I'll be ready for winter. Also, now that its "fixed", I can work on cleaning up the birdsnest of wiring and tubing all coiled up on the fender well, and properly mount this badboy pump with something other than zipties on the heater hose.
