    Bump Start for Lift Pump Install

    Thanks Josh! Yeah that rear bolt was a pain, I could see where a stud would be convenient. I’m going to follow those steps and do some cleaning first then run the dyes and see what I come up with. I see people on here doing cool builds and while i cant afford to do any mods yet I am at least...

    Bump Start for Lift Pump Install

    I think I was lucky and it was already up. Here’s a picture. Pump arm should just go straight in and be underneath the cam lobe. That arrow is pointing to what I think is the cam lobe. Bottom is just reference for bottom of the hole

    Bump Start for Lift Pump Install

    Thanks Rock! Any advice on a good angle to get in and see the fuel pump cam? I know the pump arm has to be installed underneath the cam lobe, I’m following the installation instructions on dieselhub.com. He removed the inner fender wall I think but I did not... I imagine that greatly increases...

    Bump Start for Lift Pump Install

    Look like it was bad? I felt like my oil was thin, didn’t look right and was possibly rising. But then I also started using a different bio synthetic oil. Either way, new one going in!

    Bump Start for Lift Pump Install

    Hey y’all. So I’m in the shop this morning about to install a new lift pump. I wanted to go E pump but I’ll just have to get back in here and do it at a later date. For now, I have a NAPA mech lift pump and I have a remote starter switch to “bump” the engine so I can get that lift pump arm in...

    This is true. As a rookie in the game it’s knowledge like this I try and accumulate. Will definitely have to remember these names. I try and buy motorcraft off eBay but sometimes that’s just a pain. I know there are others out there that are just good. Shoot, possibly even better?

    Viton Os, Valve covers and Fuel in Oil

    Aye, I see. Well it’s a good thing I have an extra set of the caps. I’m finally starting to build a small supply of these odds and ends that are cheap and easy to replace. Would like to have a couple extra tstats, filters, belts and engine hardware one day. With the way things are going...

    Viton Os, Valve covers and Fuel in Oil

    Thanks @chillman88 little things like that I’m sure make the difference. And roger that @Farmer Rock I agree and thinks it’s about time to move over. I’m new to diesels but have been troubleshooting and installing things for a couple years now so I feel fairly confident. Thanks for the tips too...

    The building of Beagle Pup.

    Ahh I see now! Just my noob 2 cents thrown in. But I get the picture now. This project sounds like a pretty big one, you have a nice shop where you’re doing the work? Hopefully it’s heated, this winter might be a cold one in PA...

    Viton Os, Valve covers and Fuel in Oil

    Thanks @quickster feels good just hearing another say that system can be a pain. Other than that the truck drives great. Finally got those valve covers in and now I’m not seeing oil on the floor when I leave! :Thumbs Up You installing a turbo?

    You mean if anyone’s interested in what breed? Haha looks like a great helper! What’s the doghouse you are mentioning? I missed the last couple posts and I just read your previous about a doghouse. Sounds interesting!

    Viton Os, Valve covers and Fuel in Oil

    Installed this return line kit without Vitons about a month ago. Already took off the cap and tried to re-seat the o-rings again to see if this leak would stop on these two rear passenger side return caps. Still getting a minor leak... I didn’t have any leaks prior to this return line install...

    Hard Start when cold

    22ft-lbs for the line nut that fits over the flare going into the injector? Only asking because I've always wondered what I should torque that thing down too...

    Don’t really have much to say due to lack of experience, but either way sounds like a bad a$$ setup! More power is always nice, especially if you are using it for work...

    Somebody better buy this truck!

    Those pictures look better on my computer than my little phone ha. But yeah, if I had enough cash to buy it as a second truck then I wouldn't have hesitated one bit. You'll have to keep us posted if he ends up calling you back for the trade

    Coolant Flush Procedure

    @RSchanz I am lucky enough to have access to a lot of tools on base. But as Bronco stated you can rent them a lot of times. One day maybe we will all strike at rich and own all that stuff ourselves!

    Coolant Flush Procedure

    Run a pressure test on the coolant system. I tested mine the other day after having frightened thoughts about leaks like you have and it’s worth the time and money for the peace of mind. I tested it and had a leak from the upper rad hose. Tightened that down and then ran it a second time and...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Thank you for the support @Selahdoor !! You know, I bought this F250 sight unseen and drove it all the way from Alaska where I was stationed prior. Didn't have any problems with it the whole cross country trek. Seems like now she just needs a little TLC.
