    Carrier/facet pump observations

    I had a little free time today to mess around with installing the mechanical fuel pressure gauge. The Air Force had installed a rubber grommet on the left side of the cowl panel (I assume for another radio antenna) so I removed that grommet and ran the braided stainless hose for the fuel...

    Carrier/facet pump observations

    I finally got around to contacting Autometer over the weekend, and received a reply today. The customer service rep. gave me a list of voltages that the sender should be putting out for each psi from 1 through 15. Back-probing the wire harness at the back of the gauge, I found that (at least...

    Carrier/facet pump observations

    I wish I had some hard and fast pressure data for everybody. If I could rig up my mechanical pressure gauge so I could mount it outside on the cowl without having to drill a hole through the firewall and into the cowl areal I would do it, but there is not enough room between the cowl and the...

    Cab rust worse than I thought...options?

    If you are prepared to switch the interior guts out of your cab, a 1992-1997 crew cab should work. I would imagine the wiring will be somewhat different between the gassers, IDI and Powerstroke, but since you have cab wire harness in your truck for the IDI, you could put that in the rust free...

    Cab rust worse than I thought...options?

    This guy is over by East Troy. I will PM you his info. He doesn't know me personally, but I have bought parts from him.

    Cab rust worse than I thought...options?

    CSAR IDI Where are you in WI? Depending on where you are, I could give you the contact info. for a guy that makes the rounds through TX and OK getting truck parts and bringing them back to WI for sale.

    Carrier/facet pump observations

    Well, I hooked up the mechanical gauge the results of that tell me the electric gauge has problems. The mechanical reads 10psi with engine off and 9psi at idle. Revving the truck up, there was nothing I could do to drop below 6psi, and the needle was rock steady. So the pump seems fine...

    Carrier/facet pump observations

    I installed the new fuel pressure gauge sender today, and double checked the wiring on the gauge itself. Following installation of the new sender, the gauge reads 10psi with the pump on but engine off. After engine start, the gauge reads 9psi at idle. Driving on the flat and maintaining speed...

    Carrier/facet pump observations

    I ordered out the new sender for the fuel pressure gauge and it may get here on Saturday. Even though the gauge needle is all over the place, the restricted filter light has never come on. The truck does seem to have a little bit better "foot to the floor" response.

    Carrier/facet pump observations

    Here is a pic of the two pumps - the 40290 pump is on the right and has fuel in it - the 40222 pump on the left. They look the same except for the top fitting.

    Carrier/facet pump observations

    Unfortunately, the 40290 pump still has the 1/8 fittings like the 40222 pump. I thought about reaming out the npt to hose barb fittings that screw into the pump, but I didn't think that would really accomplish anything except maybe weaken the fittings.

    Carrier/facet pump observations

    Well, I had a little free time on Sunday and I installed the new pump. The 40290 pump is the same physical size as the 40222 pump - same filter and bowl as well. The only difference I can see is the hexagonal fitting on the top of the pump (the outlet) is about twice as tall as the one on the...

    Carrier/facet pump observations

    As for my 40222 pump, that will be going in a sealed bag and kept behind the rear seat with all the other spare parts I carry. If the 40290 pump dies, I can plug and play the 40222 and make it home!

    Carrier/facet pump observations

    I will give the 40290 pump a try without the regulator first and report back with the pressure results.

    Carrier/facet pump observations

    Thanks for posting that up, Mike! I was going to start a new Facet Duralift thread soon, but since you started this one I think I will just add to it, and hopefully that is okay with you! I appreciate your observations regarding possible restrictions outside of the pump. I am one of the many...

    high idle solenoid mod?

    https://www.oilburners.net/articles/high%20idle%20override.htm Many of us have done this mod and it works great. It is nice to be able to kick the idle speed up sometimes even after the truck is warmed up but needs to idle for bit.

    Front Cab Mounts

    Ray, if it were my truck, I would just buy the replacement cab mount panels and have a body shop bolt them in - way less than 100 hours. I would be looking at fixing them good enough to pass inspection and get a few more years out of the truck until something else rusted out. We are not talking...

    Opinions needed! Ford factory IDI turbo kit

    Thanks! Yes, I studded the truck a couple of years before I turbo'd. Here is the link to that thread: https://www.oilburners.net/threads/7-3-head-gasket-replacement-arp-head-stud-install.76304/ I considered doing a torque cam, but the potential issue of valves kissing pistons concerned me...

    Opinions needed! Ford factory IDI turbo kit

    It is almost 2 months later and I am happy to report that I have not lost any more glow plugs since my last post. It was definitely the old controller that was the culprit.

    Champion Radiators for the IDI

    I managed to limp the leaking 3 row Champion through the winter and finally found an OEM copper/brass radiator that looked to be in decent shape in a scrap yard for $100. I then took the cooper/brass radiator to a radiator shop (yeah-radiator shops are getting hard to find!) and had the radiator...

    Introduction and valve cover decals

    Dave, I ordered a set of these from you last week. I also posted your Ebay listing over in the Ebay section of this forum the other day. Look forward to receiving my stickers!
