    i have a 88 7.3 idi na with a zf5 tranny. I replaced my pump with a spare pump from a parts truck a few months ago because mine blew its load. After the swap it was blowing smoke more than my old one, like just puffing a little while idling around in 1st. I'm not a fan of lots of smoke...

    New facet install
