    thanks for the quick replies. the ip was replaced by a qualified mechanic(Alan's Diesel Service, Donna, Tex), and ran good for a few months. Im going to replace the donut tomorrow and report back. thanks Fred

    ive checked with a meter and they are getting 12 volts, they are getting hot to the touch, they cycle for about 10 seconds. they are wellmans, could they be no good? dont know about the gear cover, mechanic did it.

    have clear line just before the filter head----no bubbles. return line kit is about 3 yrs, have had the supply line off lately and the donut looks good and other seals on the line look good. could it be sucking air there?

    fresh ip, new glow plugs(wellman), fresh filter, good flow to ip, about 5 lbs fuel pressure, fresh fuel in tank. Truck will start with block heater, and runs great, black smoke. have to floor the throttle to get it to start with block heater, and then barely starts up. could it be the screen in...

    turning up the pump

    took the filter head completely off and checked it over real good and nothing blocking that---the line from the filter head to the ip is clear also. looking into the nosecone of my spare ip, i see what looks to be a tiny pinhole, where the fuel must go in, is that correct? Anyway, put it back...

    turning up the pump

    took off the return line and turned on the electric pump and nothing came out! just turned on the ignition though, should I be cranking the engine in order to get the flow or should it be flowing with just the pump turned on?

    think you're exactly right. must be the glow plugs. checked the resistance, they all were good, but it could be the controller, will check them for heat tomorrow.

    turning up the pump

    so if I was to turn up the pump, does that mean turning up the pressure or the volume, or does one follow the other?

    turning up the pump

    Im just wondering if the ip has worn enough that it's right on the threshold of supplying enough diesel for the truck to start and or run. I thought I had it fixed yesterday, but I had shot a squirt of diesel down the throat to get it started. After it started, it ran just fine. Then again this...
