Well was driving down the road from my grandma rehab and truck caught fire under the passenger side of the hood looked like eiher the relay on the fender and gp controller end of story insure was a called and well no longer have my 1993 brown 174k of mile 7.3 n/a 2wd drive and the search begins
Made a parts list and ponder why my 2 lower start bolts just shimmy loose and if a little loctite will keep them in there when out a pain changing. Also set up an order for new tires and alignment all for $350 tires included at a huge discount
Changed out the throttle pressure sensor pic below what my old one looked like also found out my front tanks sending unit is fouled out so will read the forums how to replace that with out a shop it helping hand also discovered a short in my head light switch that pulls out of it is all the way...
Not wizard a young jedi maybe
Oil change glow plug change fuel filter change with some ATF let sit over night or some hot shot secret like Thewepual and a few others use a compress test pictures would help as well. I would also talk to @Thewespaul @typ4 and others before a rebuild. Best...
If all else fails I am sure @Thewespaul or any other great shop on this forum would be more the happy to rebuild a motor for you have seen nothing but great things from these fine folks.
Fuel here is $2.22 and of course my truck decided to die at my job and or sure what is causing my starter to just sounds like a zip gun alternator is good gp's are a yr old and not many miles and this black plug by the ip keeps falling out from under star screws.
Thank you for that information
Got the truck started my headlights are wonky thinking may have a short in it as not my fuel filter light just stays on while my rpm gauge pegs 2k before changing gears and after hitting 45mph it is steady 3k rpm trans fluid and oil are both full fresh diesel in...

Here is a short video of the truck fighting to start just took the video before work yesterday did not drive the truck though and will look in to that tester @Cubey and any advice helps and saves unneeded cash. For such a lost cost part the fuel pump it surely is a major part needed
Advanced auto had a Delphi brand will set that to order then and cancel this one then the local napa is doing repairs to there building so can't order there
Ordered this fuel pump I'm assuming the 30 GPh is good enough and should not be hard to replace since I have no idea how to do it but figured utube videos helps going to replace fuel filter again as well as glow plugs only other stuff that I'll have to take to my brothers shop to replace is...
