    Fuel Switch valve

    And even Pollak and SMP say their FSV will work...but they do not look like this....the lines are reversed, and the mounting points don't match up...this isn't even proprietary BS...Pigtail orientation doesn't matter, nor whether its a blade type or bullet type...adapters are available...usually...

    compression values

    compression values

    Cool beans...so if 400 is good, what would be the minimum for decent compression? Is there a lower value that one should not go below when deciding whether to spend more $$ on an engine unless a rebuild is next on the list?

    Fuel Switch valve

    So...can anyone here tell me why this FSV costs $500+ and all the others cost $69.99?

    compression values

    I'm guessing the same would hold for a 6.9?

    compression values

    Actually, I was asking what are 'normal" numbers for an engine in good shape...should be a range of values out there...xxx pounds when new....xxx pounds when getting ready to die at 500,000 miles...that will give me a good idea of what kind of shape that engine is in... Numbers like 150 pounds...

    compression values

    Anyplace I can look up compression values and blowby for my '84 f250 6.9idi...odometer has rolled over an unknown number of times...Whats a good number to work with? Want to determine if truck is worth putting anymore time and effort into...new IP, injectors, and GPs...looks to be around...

    Premature GP failure

    Aftermarket water separator..GPs went from 4-5 seconds to 10, to 15...and still won't fire for at least 30 seconds of cranking...with breaks every 10 seconds or so...so I don't trash the new starter...

    Premature GP failure

    Forgot to add that I have a manual GP... Have seen solid state controllers, any good? And how hard is it to go back to one of these systems from a manual set up?

    Premature GP failure

    Ok, 6 months ago, R+R'd GPs, used Berus...now acting like GPs are failed again...any suggestions on why they would fail so soon? Manual GP button... '84 F250, 6.9idi, T-19 2WD 160,000 miles...I think. Runs well when she runs...

    air intrusion

    Ja, that might be the solution for now...don't want to mess with the fuel system on a piecemeal basis...if and when I do, it will be the whole schmazozzle...IP, injectors, lines...the whole thing.

    air intrusion

    Ja, water separator is aftermarket...and tight as a drum. Interesting...was out and about today, truck ran just fine on both tanks....there may have been a bit of air still in the system after all this pump and tank work.. Eventually will replace the rear tank and sending unit as it is...
