Injector line nut leak
Thanks for the link! unfortunately, running around without clamps, i now need another set of lines. :frustrate I definitely should have done *something*, like Franklin mentioned, but i didn't. Looks like CDD sells injector line sets also - wonder if anyone can attest that they are better than...- dieselrulz

New injector lines
Any chance you want to sell a set?? I had J&M Diesel in Lynnwood WA replace my return lines/o-rings and they did not replace the clamps. caused a couple lines to crack. I searched and searched for OEM and found nothing. I didn't want to, but eventually tried amazon knock-offs. first set had...- dieselrulz

Injector line nut leak
I know this is a few months old, but just wondering if you found new injector lines for your truck? I had the same issue after J&M diesel in Lynnwood WA replaced my return lines, and did not put the clamps back on. I tried finding OEM, but kept getting "NLA" at every turn. Finally i took a...- dieselrulz

compression numbers
Are you asking how that is done? or how *i* am thinking I will do it? honestly, I figured there was somewhere I could send the pump to get it tested. I will likely try to get in touch with Mel, because I really want to know how to change injectors and possibly the pump, without changing...- dieselrulz

thanks for the link! I also found the article by mel/Agnem on fuel systems - which looks like real good info if i'm going to dive into injectors, and pump. I have some reading to do before figuring a next step.- dieselrulz

compression numbers
good point. i skipped over that. I wanted to do the compression test to see if replacing the injectors was good money after good, or good money after bad. the injectors and pump are factory. I also have had a handful of chevy diesels, and have only rebuilt the IP when it started leaking. My...- dieselrulz

compression numbers
I guess the first thing i'm trying to figure out is, how bad are the numbers i'm seeing? The truck runs good, and now with the new plugs and starter, starts up quickly. in the long run, i'd like to get back to where I was 10 years and 80k miles ago, which was deciding if the truck was good...- dieselrulz

compression numbers
I've read, and read, and read... so I have some background, but a couple questions. For starters, 1989, F250, 7.3, zf5. 196k. It got to where i was cycling the plugs 3-4 times when it was 40ish degrees to start it, so I decided to replace the g.plugs. (i've replaced the controller and...- dieselrulz
