    Fuel Heater delete and truck surging

    Problem solved by a new mechanical lift pump. Also, no air gets in the lines overnight any more. The fuel in the filter used to drain back pretty fast. I probably need to check the oil to make sure it does not smell like diesel fuel.

    Cam lobe position for mechanical fuel pump

    Drove great today. No leaks. Ran like a sewing machine. I need to go on a more extended drive to see if my problem was solved, but very glad to have a new pump on there regardless.

    4.10 to 3.55 swap for $85 -- worth it? (Rear only)

    Yep I’ve done the math as well. Only solution is to drop to 3.55.

    Cam lobe position for mechanical fuel pump

    New pump is in. Got the block heater plugged in. Waiting on the RTV to dry overnight. The edelmann hose 3/8 inverted flare to 3/8 hose barb fit perfectly. The threads on the filter head were 1/4" pipe thread. Local ace hardware had a 1/4" pipe thread to 3/8 hose barb fitting in stock.

    Cam lobe position for mechanical fuel pump

    Looks like this will work for the pump. 3/8 inverted flare to 3/8 hose barb https://www.summitracing.com/parts/edd-821660 I'm going to confirm here in a minute, but I think the filter head connection (the 90 deg elbow) is just a 3/8 tapered pipe thread.

    Cam lobe position for mechanical fuel pump

    I have not seen any decent pictures of this on any of the write-ups I read. Currently the pump is out of my truck and I have turned the engine over a bit to get the lobe in the right spot. First pic is of the lobe hanging down. You want this lobe to be up and out of the way when installing the...

    Fuel Heater delete and truck surging

    I have a new mechanical lift pump on the shelf. The one on the truck looks very old, so i've been meaning to swap it out at some point. That might just be tomorrow... If ace happens to have a 1/8 npt plug I could stop that up tomorrow. Then i'll have to do something to plug the return line...

    Fuel Heater delete and truck surging

    Video starts with me on a highway off-ramp with the clutch pushed in. I come to a stop and it starts surging I drove around on surface streets for a minute after taking this video and the surging was gone.

    Fuel Heater delete and truck surging

    Well I have two problems... one being that fuel drains back rather quickly after shut down and I lose prime. This has been going on awhile. Two just started recently (after replacing fuel filter and plugging the fuel heater port) and that is the surging at idle.. seemingly only after coming off...

    Fuel Heater delete and truck surging

    When searching here I found that there is supposed to be a ball and check valve behind the return line on top of the filter head. I pulled the barb out and found nothing behind it. There is no ball or spring, just a straight and clean path through.

    Fuel Heater delete and truck surging

    Installed washer, no luck! Still does the same thing. The odd thing is that the surging at idle only seems to happen after coming off of an extended highway run. I am going to pull the banks turbo filter housing off tomorrow and look for other leaks as well.

    Fuel Heater delete and truck surging

    Thank you. I will prob take you up on that. I might throw a washer on there tomorrow from the hardware store if I can find one just to see if anything happens What bothers me is I can't figure out how that would allow air in. The filter seems to be sealing well. A little bit of leakage between...

    Fuel Heater delete and truck surging

    When I originally got my truck the fuel heater had a little bit of a leak through the electrical connector on the outside. I cleaned it up, filled with JB weld and it quit leaking. I figured that I should fix that permanently at some point, so I bought a 1/2" tap and pipe plug, and a new fuel...

    Post your cold starts, they’re fun to watch

    Need to get my cold start advance working. Was in the upper 20's overnight. The block switch no longer works... figure i'll wire something up in the cab. Or pay $60 for a new block switch. A little smoky but it cleans up and runs smoke free after about 30-40 seconds. Just a note, you'll see the...

    It's Been Awhile But I'll Have A Large Order of General Tao

    A fair amount. Say 2 hours of messing around with a box cutter/utility knife. Had to trim it (too big overall) and cut holes for the ZF5 shifter and Tcase shift lever

    It's Been Awhile But I'll Have A Large Order of General Tao

    Not a Crew Cab, but the stuff rock auto sells (ACC brand) worked alright for me. I had to do some cutting to get it to fit, but for the price I am happy with it.

    Zf5 questions and other tranny possibilities?

    I was wondering if everyone else starts out in 2nd. I have 4.10’s and start in 2nd unless I’m on a hill or pulling a load.
