    PSA: For those replacing 4wd front shackle bushings with polyurethane, check your shackle first.

    If you have 4wd and are planning to replace your front shackle bushings with polyurethane bushings, check your shackles first. Some aftermarket shackles can have a different bore diameter for the bushing that bolts to the frame. The difference can be as much as 1mm. The polyurethane bushings...

    Cup holders

    Nothing beats the roll of duck cup holder. Bonus use for reattaching stuff that falls off the truck. Just dont take turns too quickly.

    What is the preferred method for lining up the axle pivot bushings on twin traction beams with leaf springs?

    We ended up doing it this way. It went so easily after that. Re-attaching the axle beam to the springs was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Certainly easier than trying to pry the pivot bolts into place last. Thank you for the suggestion. To anyone doing this in the future on...

    What is the preferred method for lining up the axle pivot bushings on twin traction beams with leaf springs?

    We tried using large chisels as wedges and got close. Ran out of wedging power with them. I think we try wooden ones then.

    What is the preferred method for lining up the axle pivot bushings on twin traction beams with leaf springs?

    My dad has a pry bar just like that. Its works but its too short to give me enough leverage to pry with.

    What is the preferred method for lining up the axle pivot bushings on twin traction beams with leaf springs?

    No. I didnt touch them. Im trying to save money and didnt want to take apart more stuff than I thought was necessary. Did you have the leaf spring eye bolts in first when you were doing it?

    What is the preferred method for lining up the axle pivot bushings on twin traction beams with leaf springs?

    In the process of putting the front end of my truck back together after doing axle pivot, front leaf spring and shackle bushings. 1991 f250 4x4. I am having difficulty getting the axle pivot bushings to line up enough to get the bolts through. I dropped the whole front end at once and did all...

    I need help routing this wiring harness.

    Ok I figured it out finally. Took a break and worked on other parts of the truck for the last couple weeks. Someone had electrical taped the yellow highlighted wire into the rest of the glow plug harness. When the did that they shortened other parts of the harness, the highlighted blue wire...

    I just switched to it after using rotella T4 and now im having major oil consumption. I had to add 2+ qts only 650 miles after the last oil change. Previously i never had to top off between oil changes. Its not leaking and blowby is low/non existent. I will be switching back to rotella t4 and...

    I need help routing this wiring harness.

    For the life of me I cant figure out where the highlighted portion of this wiring harness goes. Everything Ive tried so far either gets in the way of the throttle or is too short and the connector at the end cant reach its wheel well connector. I know what all of the connectors go to, so I dont...

    Bought a new truck, cant get it started. No fuel coming out of the injection pump.

    **UPDATE** ***Thank you everyone who posted in here, it was helpful reading your suggestions*** I got it started!!! So relieved. Now I can move it and not have to worry about it being towed by my apartment complex management. So after reverifying that the timing was correct I decided to next...

    Bought a new truck, cant get it started. No fuel coming out of the injection pump.

    Could gummed up injectors keep it from starting? I might just pull them and pop test them anyways to cover my bases. Being that the "new" IP had a stuck delivery valve and still probably has stuck plungers i wonder if the injectors are gummed up stuck. That pump had some nasty buildup in the...

    Bought a new truck, cant get it started. No fuel coming out of the injection pump.

    I tried. I was able to get a little more advance out of it and it seemed even closer to starting. The passenger injector lines (only connected at the IP) and throttle bracket were still attached so I was limited on how much i could get. I think ill remove those to get even more and see how it goes.

    Bought a new truck, cant get it started. No fuel coming out of the injection pump.

    Im at a loss. I took the ip and housing off. The timing is correct. I verified the y mark with a mirror and light. I dont know what to do next. Im going out of town for a week and will get back to it in a week. If anyone has suggestions for me when I get back ill give them a try. Thanks

    Bought a new truck, cant get it started. No fuel coming out of the injection pump.

    Which engines have the timing marks on the camshaft gear like in the picture on the left? My understanding was that the mark on the camshaft that is supposed to align with the crankshaft gear was also a dimple like on the crankshaft gear, not a stamped "O". If my camshaft gear has the stamped...

    Bought a new truck, cant get it started. No fuel coming out of the injection pump.

    Im pretty sure they aren't working. The WTS light is on all the time, and I dont hear any clicking. I think i shorted it with a wrench when I first started working on it trying to loosen the injectors by it. One of the batteries is weak, however i was boosting it with my f250 and its a 160amp...

    Bought a new truck, cant get it started. No fuel coming out of the injection pump.

    Okay so here's a little video of where im currently at. Got fuel to the injectors, just cant get it to fire. Like it shows in the video smoke comes out of the cdr valve immediately while cranking. Could that mean something related to the timing. It gets closer to firing when using starting...

    Bought a new truck, cant get it started. No fuel coming out of the injection pump.

    Ok so here's a little update. I put the "new" ip back on and tried to bleed it. Nothing. Tried sucking up solvent with the lift pump and cranking it to soak the internals more. Still nothing. I believe the plunges are gummed up like the delivery valve was. I dont want to disassemble it and see...

    Failed 26 year old original db2, what’s inside? What goes wrong?

    Is that something you sell individually for those of us wishing to rebuild these pumps ourselves?

    Heres how I added an additional fuel filter that reuses the engine oil filter.

    Do you have any pictures posted of tbe davco installed? Im heavily considering adding one to the new truck i got. Would like to see how you installed yours.

    Bought a new truck, cant get it started. No fuel coming out of the injection pump.

    Okay so I think I found the problem with this pump. Looks like the delivery valve is stuck. I took out the screw that holds it in and the spring and plunger fall out but the valve itself does not like its supposed to. I read of someone having this problem and soaking it in lacquer thinner worked...

    Bought a new truck, cant get it started. No fuel coming out of the injection pump.

    For some weird reason when I first started messing with it it had power to the FSS when the key was turned on. I dont know what happened but at some point it lost power with the key on so I ran a jumper wire directly to it whenever I've been cranking.

    Has anyone ever tried maxing out cetane boost in synthetic WMO to avoid friggin' around with the timing?

    I believe its more than just improving flow. The higher temperature brings it closer to autoignition.

    Bought a new truck, cant get it started. No fuel coming out of the injection pump.

    I didn't notice prior to pulling the pump, however now that its out the shafts is not sheared. I disassembled the transfer pump and unfortunately did not see anything obviously wrong. There was some crap and what looks like rust built up inside. Though the screen was clear and the transfer pump...
