    slow throttle response and stalls when return to idle

    You sound like as posted.. The metering valve is sticking. Filling the filter with auto trans fluid or a fuel conditioner may clean up the injection pump.Please do not pour and fluid or fuel conditioner down the intake. That will cause the engine to probably run away because fuel going directly...

    Fuel leak at fuel filter

    What year is your truck? If you have this wire then you have a dash light indicating you need to change the fuel filter. I have only seen my filter light come on once. Even then it slowly illuminated under full hard throttle. The way this switch works is it measures a vacuum in the fuel delivery...

    Is water in fuel common any more?

    I really have never gotten any water when I have drained mine. Remember here in CA. we have filling station huge filters on the delivery system at the pumps. I have no idea how often these are changed but.. I see them...

    What would you do?

    On the new engine find the bad cylinder and fix it. Might be a rocker bolt backed off or a bent pushrod.Valves usually do not burn in these engines.

    Fuel leak at fuel filter

    I have used permatex ultra copper plus. Its gas and oil resistance plus heat resistant too. It has never leaked when I use it for the oil pan or intake manifold.

    Does anyone have a number 1 injector line?

    So far my only reasons for removing this timing adapter is to stop possible leaks because you have one more connection or difficulty connecting the hard line to it. On my engine I usually have a horrible time threading the hard line to the adapter. I have even tried slight bends to the hard...

    Does anyone have a number 1 injector line?

    Welcome to the forum. As already posted. Your vibration line clamps are a MUST HAVE on every line or the fuel pulses from the injection pump will cause a vibration that eventually cracks the lines. Also on this injector you have the old no longer used timing adapter connected between the...

    Is 50385K83 the only one?

    Any injection pump repair shop sells the olives and so does mcmaster carr. Sorry I do not have the part number.

    $350 IDIT complete - It's a runner!

    Sounds really nice. Please look at the serial numbers just to the drivers side of the injection pump gear housing on the block. Post what you find. What are your plans for this engine? Seeing that it was for an auto tran make sure you save the flexplate and the special thick spacer between that...

    Water Pouring out of bell housing.

    That video was pure crap. Anyone notice the radiator had no coolant running thru it so the clutch fan could get heat to open or close the internal bleed port.... Well they got paid to "show you the truth"... Wow...

    15 years sitting

    Welcome to the forum. These trucks and especially the engines are VERY hard to kill. This forum mostly finds the biggest killer of these rigs is salted roads of some foll running into them.

    Is 50385K83 the only one?

    The olives needed depends on wether you have the steel return line running down the drivers side og the engine or not. So lets say you have that line. you will need 3 olives that are the 5/16 tubing size. If you have the original line from the lift pump to the filter head you need JUST ONE olive...

    Fuel leak at fuel filter

    To fix the heater plug leak just remove the plug. Clean it really well with brakclean. Make sure you clean the aluminum head threads too. Just drain out some diesel till its just below the head. Any quality rtv or permatex aviation cement in the white bottle and blue writing. Just coat the...

    Fuel leak at fuel filter

    also see a hose clamp on one of the injector return line hoses. You may have had a issue with different sizes of return lines on the same engine. Its hard to tell but the return caps appear to have the hoses running thru the center of them so those require the small hose with the green clamps...

    Fuel leak at fuel filter

    Thanks for the pics of your filter and the top of the filter head. What I'm seeing it the previous owner did remove and plug the fuel heater but.. Its leaking. Use some brakeclean to clean off the top of the header and run the engine. your leak is towards the front of of the header plug. This is...

My filter always leaks.I have had my oil cooler header off during an overhaul and used a fine double cut file to take out any high spots. nothing found either. No low places...

    Fuel leak at fuel filter

    The wire on the bottom of the filter is the water in fuel wire. That filter has a water sensor in the bottom of it. Might want to check the top of the filter for the leak. Usually we find the black square looking thing develops a fuel leak. That top wire is the fuel filter heater. Please let us...
