Installed a clear line from the injector return at the from of the motor to the fuel filter head. No air bubbles so far. Haven't had a chance to do the lines at the rear yet.- RossCo

IP pump going TU.?.
Yep, no worries. I'll report back when I have more info. The reason I'm on here asking is so I don't overlook something stupid and spend a lot of $ to still have a problem. My gut does tell me it's the IP just from age but, I certainly want to rule everything else out first.- RossCo

IP pump going TU.?.
Hmmm... I'd be surprised but, that's an easy diag with the clear hose mod. that I haven't done yet. I pay pretty close attention the fueling system. I would expect to see some leakage from the area that is allowing air into the system. Is this a flawed expectation? Thanks for the idea brother...- RossCo

IP pump going TU.?.
Yes, I'm sure quite old.. I've had the truck for about 8yrs now and put a lot of miles on it. I know for sure it's had one new one before (when I was like 9) but, I believe it's actually had at least two. Thanks for the sig heads up, make a lot of cents. 1985 Ford F250 NA 6.9 IDI (420,000...- RossCo

IP pump going TU.?.
Ok gents putting this out there just to see if yall come to the same conclusion I am. Truck starts fine hot or cold. Lots O white smoke on start up, idles fine most of the time. Every once in a while sounds like it has a miss. While driving ( it gets interesting) at times truck will act like...- RossCo

Bad c6 vac modular=poor power brakes?
I got my booster and master cylinder assembly at Napa for about 150, took care of the VAC problem and one less thing to worry about with the new master cylinder. Its actually a little less money to get them as an assem instead of by piece.- RossCo

Bad c6 vac modular=poor power brakes?
Ok just going off of my experience. My C6 was acting up also. I can't say for sure about your modulator valve being good or bad. It does seem odd that it bleeds down. It tells me there is a leak in the diaphragm but, I may be wrong. Did tyranny fluid come out when you pulled the vac line? I had...- RossCo

Solidstate GP controler, cold start system
Hmmm not a bad idea there..I assume your referring to adding a manual glow push button.? I will say the first thing I'm going to go is clean up that wiring some and add an off switch for the glow function for hot starts. It's my guess that is why the solid state controllers seem to burn out...- RossCo
