    Is this drivable?

    No it dosnt have it anymore. It was leaking air in and the fitting on the bottom was so seized I mangled the unit trying to get it out. So it was replaced by those cheapy plastic filters in series. It is on the list to get replaced but I havnt found a seperator that wasn't one of the big...

    Is this drivable?

    I didn't buy it from him. It's my vehicle that I was letting family in law drive. I actually don't trust him to work on anything, I just brought up army mechanic to point out its unlikely he put gas in this diesel truck. Sent from my LG-G710 using Tapatalk

    Is this drivable?

    Yea thats sounding like next weekend more and more.... Didn't do it this week as a diesel mechanic said it was dangerous to drive with a fuel knock, but he works on modern stuff where say an injector hanging open and melting a piston I think is more likely. And there not THAT much smoke coming...

    Is this drivable?

    Honestly that sounds pretty good. If they were better off I might do that. But the VA screwed up their paperwork and are withholding retirement payments so they arnt the best off atm. It's my finances parents and we lived there for awhile and did alot of car borrowing as needed both ways. But...

    Is this drivable?

    The driver has been using it on and off for a few months and used to be an army mechanic. I doubt he put gas in and they would of told me if they did. If I stomp on it I get black-gray smoke now at the top of 2nd when I floor it which I've never gotton. Always a little bit of white. Really...

    Is this drivable?

    All I was told was stopped starting. Although that may be a glow plug issue. I think it's a fuel knock but not certain. Drove about 20 minutes and it stopped. Drove it back and it came back but quieter. Gonna park it, then fill the filter with standyne next weekend. I don't blame them for the...

    Is this drivable?

    Loaned my truck out to family for the past few months. Went to pick it up and was told it wasn't starting. Well they were right. Just white smoke. Little touch of brake clean (yea I know I know it was diagnostic) and she lit up but a bunch of white smoke. Sat idling till warm. Heard an...

    More smoke after declogging filter

    I've noticed after I got the filter unclogged the other week it smokes more then before. Mostly white when you get on it but more gray when under load. First pull was second through third up a slight hill then 2 to the limiter. Is this too much smoke? It didn't have this much before even when...

    Drives a mile then dies

    Well I THINK I have it figured out. Pretty sure the little cheapo fuel filter I had where the water seperator was clogged up. I wasn't actually using it as a filter but mostly a barbed fitting to connect the hoses together. I meant to change it when I did the pump. Went to syphon some fuel out...

    Drives a mile then dies

    Great minds think alike. Picked up my big jug from my parents and some hose. Not sure if I grabbed enough tho, because the jug is too big to stick up front or under hood so bed it will be. Guess I could use a milk jug tho Sent from my LG-G710 using Tapatalk

    Drives a mile then dies

    So I opened the top of the pump to look for junk. Didn't see anything. But I did notice that the fuel solenoid had a crack, and the ¿olive? on the return line is damaged. New lift pump has definitely not solved the issue. Once hot and dieing I'm not getting anything out of the Schrader valve...

    Drives a mile then dies

    I suppose it could be. But I've been driving it around and the issue is pretty consistent with regards to about 20 minutes or so or when everything is nice and hot. All the clutch hydraulics except the line was replaced about 5 months ago. New fluid. Definitely an issue but I'm pretty sure not...

    Drives a mile then dies

    The issue persists running on either tank when full. So it's not a broken shower head. Sorry thought I had all relevant info in the first post.

    Drives a mile then dies

    Well I replaced the lift pump. Drove it and the pump works. However I'm not convinced it's fixed or not. About the time it would start to have issues the clutch stopped disengaging. So I'm not sure if it died due to that or the previous issue. But it took a minute of sitting and some cranking to...

    Drives a mile then dies

    I believe the pump is original with 140k on it so I am leary of it. But I'm getting pressurized fuel from the Schrader when it's running good and not when it's dieing. So thats why I suspect fuel delivery. If I do pull the top off, isn't there a certain way to put it back on or a spring or...

    Return line kit

    Im 100% positive there's been a bunch of posts on this, but I'm having trouble with the search on this forum. I have at least 1 leaking injector cap. Are there any kits better then the others? Or should I even buy the kit and instead source o rings and fuel line myself and reuse my caps. I'd...

    Drives a mile then dies

    I may or may not of replaced that hose yet when I was first trying to get it air tight. I'll have to check to be sure. I found out it was the water seperator that was sucking air in tho and as a stop gap until I found one I liked I put one of these cheap filters in. It's worked fine so far but...

    Is that the the big line coming off the front? It runs to the back of the motor to t into the return Sent from my LG-G710 using Tapatalk

    Drives a mile then dies

    No I was not getting any fuel out of the Schrader valve. I'm pretty sure it's a fuel delivery problem. But switching tanks dosnt change anything and they are both full. I tried the water on the injection pump and it didn't seem to help. Thus I was thinking the lift pump. (just pour water on it...

    Wonder if that has anything to do with anything..... Also pics of how I blocked off the return to the filter. Sent from my LG-G710 using Tapatalk

    Drives a mile then dies

    Well made the genius idea of taking the truck for 4th of July activities to test it out. Doing the exact same thing after about 30 minutes of driving. Really feels like a heat soaked component to me. Any other ideas guys before I load a lift pump into the parts cannon? Currently sitting at a...

    That would have been a good idea but it was already in the dumpster. Ive been meaning to get a filter cutter. Sent from my LG-G710 using Tapatalk

    Well drove fine for the couple miles in town i went throughout the day. Got home and changed the filter and filled it with atf. Going on a long drive Wednesday or Thursday so we'll see if it's fixed. Sent from my LG-G710 using Tapatalk
