Hey y’all. So I’m in the shop this morning about to install a new lift pump. I wanted to go E pump but I’ll just have to get back in here and do it at a later date. For now, I have a NAPA mech lift pump and I have a remote starter switch to “bump” the engine so I can get that lift pump arm in the right spot. I’m following the instructions and it says to connect one lead to large terminal which battery positive is connected, and the other lead to small terminal labeled “S”.
Do I need to do anything different than what instructions say because it is a diesel? Seems pretty straight forward, I’d just hate to somehow fry something...
Also, with new lift pump in, water pump in, and VC gaskets I’m thinking about cleaning the engine a bit to see if she is nice and sealed up now. Any recommendations on engine cleaning? I read people saying don’t do it and then others who do and know what they’re talking about. For me it would just be nice to help locate any other leaks potentially. Thanks!
