    Which replacement injection pump?

    I've got a couple of pumps I could send right away, it's mainly going to be the lead time to get the parts that will make my decision I think. If it's 2-3 months+ I don't really have a place to store the truck that long without being able to move it, but I'd order at least a few things from him...

    Which replacement injection pump?

    Is R&D IDI still in business? I emailed and they never answered, calling just goes straight to a message, and nearly everything shows out of stock. Moose Diesel is the only one I was actually able to contact, I may end up just going with them if it's the only choice.

    Which replacement injection pump?

    I need a new injection pump for my 87 F250, it has the original 6.9 with as far as I know about 75k miles, and a Banks turbo kit with an intercooler. I would not complain about a little more power but definitely not to the point of needing head studs or other internal modifications. Can anyone...

    What kind of milage were you getting? I was getting about 12.

    About 75k on the truck as best I can tell. The original owner died before I bought the truck but the condition and what his son remembered seem consistent with that. It has a Banks turbo that has probably been on the truck since new, and a huge intercooler that idk where it came from.

    Ah ok, yeah I don't have a big enough compressor to do that, and I think whatever the issue is must be after the line feeding the fuel filter. I did not try taking the cover off the injection pump, I will do that next.

    I A small one, the truck has a Banks turbo kit on it so it's very hard to reach the return line though so I just disconnected it at the back of the engine and let it pour on the ground, and it was enough to make a puddle after cranking for less than 30 seconds.

    I charged the batteries again so at least from the sound it was cranking as fast as it should.

    I tried plugging in the block heater and disconnecting the return line, the block heater got the coolant temp up to about 100 degrees, and fuel pours out the return, but no luck at all getting it to even start for a second.

    I do have a small air compressor and some help available as well.

    6.9 died on the freeway and I can't get it started again

    Reading back through the thread, I did not try using the block heater, and I did not try disconnecting the return line on the top of the pump but have tried everything else. I haven't had time to work on it again yet but I'm planning to do that Friday. There was only a small amount of white...

    6.9 died on the freeway and I can't get it started again

    I'd be happy to buy new batteries if I could actually find the problem, but the truck still ran out of fuel and died on the freeway with both tanks half full, and is useless to me if I can't find the problem, and no more than scrap value to anyone who doesnt already own at least one of those...

    Same result on both tanks, and it's a C6 automatic. I'm going to charge the batteries again and see if I can get fuel to come out the return on the pump as soon as I next have time to work on it.

    Yes it has both tanks, the rear one is a 38 gallon one, and they have the pickup with a sump at the bottom of the tank. I had put $175 worth of diesel in the rear tank and was running on that one when it died. That was before diesel went up to $8/gallon so it was about half a tank.

    I can try pulling the return line, I was able to loosen the lines on the injectors and get some fuel to come out. The batteries need replacing, I can only get about 5 minutes of trying to start it before having to charge them for a few hours, I don't want to buy batteries when I don't know if I...
