@chicken bones did you ever get a light and get your truck timed? I just went in halves with a buddy on a tech time unit with a light, hoping to give it a shot this week. Sounds like you had a heck of a time…
Kids got sick over the weekend and it looks like o have succumbed to the cold as well… doc said our littles one has Croup. Never heard of that! Apparently it’s just a cold with a lot more congestion and inflammation, yada yada. But, I feel like crap so I’m not going out there to time the truck...
Thanks for the confidence boost @IDIBRONCO after a couple different checks I verified it. I did use the tech articles when I installed the push button so I had no doubts on the proper method, worked great for a year until I started messing around with stuff and forgot my base knowledge.
Truck...
Injection pump is in and bled! Started putting all the randoms back in (including the gp relay) I have a manual push buttons that I installed and for the life of me, am drawing a blank here.
There should only be 12v at the harness glow plug connector when the push button is closed, correct? I...
Yeah I don’t know how others with a turbo got it all in one piece, Haynes manual and some other resources mentioned it. I ended up taking off the number 8 and 6 lines and it slid right in.
Those lines were pushing up against the firewall and there was no way around it to angle the pump gear...
@Cant Write
He got the name Wally because when I bought the truck it had a steel shell on the back and when I was going through the truck cleaning it out, the name Wally was written on the inside of one of the shell doors. So I said, sure, why not? You look like a Wally!
Truck drives pretty...
Yeah I figured there was some pressure at that point. Thanks for the oring classification @The_Josh_Bear , I’m going to look around town and see what’s available. :cheers:
So I got my new injection pump and injectors in! Shout out to Classic Diesel Designs for some quality work :sly
Got the injector bores cleaned out, new injectors in, fuel lines blown out with compressed air, and some other cleaning of parts. Still looks odd have fancy new shiny injectors on a...

Cover to the injection pump timing thing (see photos) I can’t remember exactly what it’s called, been nearly five months since I sent the pump in so I haven’t really gotten around to doing much. But yeah, the rtv/sealer for the cover and looks like the bolts too, you guys think it’s just...
@krogo I’m about to be cleaning my injector bores and installing new injectors this weekend. I was figuring to do the same method as you stated here. Did you blow compressed air in GP chamber to clear out any of that build up you cleaned out? Any grease in the cup or anything to help keep crap...
I second the glow plug check with the meter. It will provide you with a lot of comfort in your diagnosis of what is/could be wrong.
I read one of the safety concerns if you are taking the terminals off the plug heads for testing is just to make sure you don’t let it rest on bare metal and risk...
In the winter my 86 with will do the same. 6.9 NA and it usually happens when we are below 32 which is a good two - three months of winter. I think I have a little air intrusion going on so my guess is that makes it worse but I would venture to guess white smoke when below 30 Fahrenheit on a...
@BlindAmbition that was one of my first thoughts: what if all these tanks have a layer of cake on them. And how might that affect them? I figured it carried the potential to be a problem and if you weren’t able to power wash it out then I’d say it definitely can be one.
I messaged the guy last...
Yeah I never did any asking around for cooking oil. I work for a transportation department so I have used motor oil till the cows come in. But I decided against wmo at least for now...
