    94 E350 motorhome with 7.3 IDI Coming back from and 800 mile trip the battery light started to flicker every once and awhile. The volt meter was also higher than normal ( I'd guess it to be somewhere around 16V). From what I've read it sounds like voltage regulator is the culprit. Can I...

    How does the fuel return system work?

    Just curious how the fuel return system works. I've switched to an electric pump and at idle I'm only getting about 5 gallons an hour back to the tank. I know the pump is rated at 40-60 GPH so I was kind of concerned about the low return rate. I was thinking that maybe the IP regulates flow...

    Lift pump torque spec

    Does anyone know what the torque specs for the lift pump mounting bolts are. I've broken too many bolts in my day to want to mess with over torquing them. I replaced with block off plate and it is leaking a bit at full temp. Snugged them down a bit more and we will see what happens. Also...
