    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...

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

    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.

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

    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.

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

    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.

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

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

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

    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.

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

    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...

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

    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.

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

    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.

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

    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...

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

    When I first tried starting it with the electric pump the mechanical pump was still connected, it seemed to be pumping a normal amount of fuel, but when I tried putting the line feeding the mechanical pump into a can of fuel it would not start so I assumed it was bad (which I now think wasn't...

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

    I did try running it from a line into a can going right into the mechanical pump and it would not start, even after using an oil extractor to suck fuel all the way up to the filter. I thought the mechanical lift pump may have failed and tried to change it, but I could not fit my hand past the...

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

    I was driving on the freeway after filling up with fuel about 50 miles before, and the truck started running rough then died within about 30 seconds. I thought it was probably bad fuel and did not have any extra fuel filters so I had it towed home. I changed the fuel filter on the engine and...

    How to remove rear fuel tank?

    So it looks like the options are either to get the truck running again on the front tank so I can move it and buy that fixture to pull the bed, or punch a hole in the bottom of the tank so I can get the fuel out and just buy a new tank? I can't get a hose into the fuel through the filler neck...

    How to remove rear fuel tank?

    I bought my truck this past August and shortly after getting it home the fuel system failed (runs out of fuel after a couple minutes of driving or 10 minutes at idle), and I pulled the front fuel tank out and the pickup was falling apart, so I suspect that's part of the issue and that the rear...

    Help with troubleshooting fuel starvation/air intrusion issues?

    Ah ok, that makes perfect sense now that I see the picture. It looks like my next step is probably to drop the fuel tanks and make sure the pickups are working/clean?

    Help with troubleshooting fuel starvation/air intrusion issues?

    I don't know if using a temporary fuel supply would help because it will idle fine but only drive for a few minutes before it dies. Also, what are "olive" in relation to the fuel system? I have seen that a few places in reading about it but no explanation. I am sure it makes sense once...

    Help with troubleshooting fuel starvation/air intrusion issues?

    The front tank was filled up and I drove about 200 miles, the back tank was full and it has probably been driven less than 20 miles on that one. It seems to do the exact same thing whichever tank is selected. The gauge worked for both tanks when I bought the truck, but has failed since.

    Help with troubleshooting fuel starvation/air intrusion issues?

    This is an 87 F-250 with a banks turbo kit, I bought it out of state and drove it about 3.5 hours to get home, then it has sat a while while I dealt with getting it registered (driven about 5 times in the last 3 months). Both fuel gauges no longer work, and sometimes it will start right away...

    87 F-250 idle keeps climbing?

    I will check the throttle linkage, i literally just bought it and drove it home yesterday with no issues until I pulled up in front of my house, then as soon as I shifted into neutral whatever the idle issue is started, then the drivers side window regulator broke when I tried to put the window...
