    eletric fule pump

    I can't remember what brand mine is, but it's nothing special that's for sure. I mounted mine on the frame under the drivers door with a frame mounted spin-on filter Filter first, then electric pump (best thing I ever did) then it goes to a racor (2 micron) and then to the standard ford...

    Truck is totaled and I have a few questions?

    whatever you do, do a compression test. ask the guy what he wants for it. ask him if he minds if you can try to get it going, and if so...tell him, if you get it running.. the price remains the same, period. with a cold engine, crack the injector nuts one at a time, spin it over and check...

    oil gauge or pump problem

    You might want to test it with a manual guage. Factory guages are very poor (at best), the sensors are garbage also.

    radiator overflow bottle

    I left a soldering iron (hot) on mine and burned a hole thru it, so I patched it with ~shoe goo~ That stuff is beyond strong! I don't know if it's avalible in the US though.

    Proud of my IDI

    I'm proud of mine too, it starts good but needs new GP's. My IDI is very reliable and great of fuel too.;Sweet

    Another electric fuel pump question:

    I bolted a small spin on (pre-lift pump) filter onto my frame, under the door. Then I hooked my electric pump to the output of the filter and mounted it on to an L bracket. I wired the pump to my fuse box with an ~ add a fuse~. It worked flawlessly except for the -push on- fittings were...

    fuel line type and size

    Punkmachanic- Thanks for the info, I used to heat up the ends of hoses in boiling water and then slid them onto a fitting that was one size too big. The end result was a hose that the incredible hulk couldn't pull off. I'll try the heat gun or blowdryer method. Rangerwreck- I sure will let...

    fuel line type and size

    Recently I tapped into my fuel line to put my pre-lifet pump filter in. The line from my tank is a thin (plastic looking) type line. I would like to properly tap into this line becuase the way I did it didn't hold up very well. It hose looks to me that to properly tap into it, would take...

    For those wanting to spin them faster...

    I dream of someday having my own designed diesel, with super thick cyl walls (1 inch), with a displacement of 500cu inch (inline 6) and a massive turbo ( 2 feet across) and a massive pump.......with monster injectors, bolted up to a 18 speed roadranger. :) :) ......something that would shake...

    won't shut off

    what I did with the last plastic pipe was --- I put the (machanical) water line thru the plastic fitting and I lifted it up about a 1/4 inch and put some shoe-goo (liquid rubber) under it on the engine side as well as the cab side. That way it is sitting only on rubber,.... it can't possibly...

    For those wanting to spin them faster...

    IMHO, high rpm's on a diesel are about as usless as tits on a chicken ;)

    won't shut off

    yeah that's really important. I drilled the hole and then I siliconed a piece of plastic (1/8th thick,plumbing coupler) thru it and then fed the wires inside the coupler, so it should be fine. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If a thief had my keys, he could spin it over, but unless he see's my...

    Is this unreal Mileage out of a 6.9 or something that is common?

    Plowing snow ........and 4 wheel high ??????? ......sorry but I don;t believe it. I think what happened is that when you filled up at the end of the day, the pump stopped filling due to a rush of fuel going up the hose to the tank, or something like that. For that kind of work, i'd say...

    6.9 slow pulling hills

    Where i live there is a really steep hill that's about 2 miles long. In my truck (f-350 with a 7.3 n/a ) I can cruze up it in 5th (empty) going about 50 mph. I once hauled a massive load of super heavy duroid shingles, and went up the hill (in 4th) like it wasn't even there. I had all sorts...

    won't shut off

    I finally fixed it. I took the wire off the solenoid (shutdown) and hooked it to a wire that runs into the cab to a switch (kinda hidden) and then back out to the soleinoid. It works perfectly.............no more having to stall my truck to get it to stop running.;Sweet

    won't shut off

    I better get mine fixed, just in case a cop pulls me over and screams:yell: "shut the truck off" !!!! ........and I can't ;)

    homemade bypass filter

    your absolutely right it doesn't, but the filter b-50 (baldwin) or pb50 (fram) filter, has a built in restrictor.

    won't shut off

    I hooked up the 'water in fuel' sensor wire but the crazy thing still won't shut off.:backoff I think I'll run the solenoid wire thru a switch and then back to the solenoid, that'll shut it off ;)

    homemade bypass filter

    yep I sure will. My filter head doesn't come in for another 8 days (or so).. and then I'll start mounting it and then attach the hoses :sly
