    Manual Glow Plug Switch Issues

    Just a note I figured out my problem. My sylinoid got stuck open and burned out all my glow plugs. I did the ohms test on em and nothing came up And I had the 11.5 bolts at the harness right when I turned the key on without pushing my button. So 140$ later I have a new solinoid and 8 new...

    Manual Glow Plug Switch Issues

    I’m also having a very similar problem. I recently switched to the manual push button controller. And my glow plugs are completely dead. My controller clicks on and off by the button but it doesn’t hear my plugs at all. Brand new harness and glow plugs. I tested to see if I was getting power...

    Also. What are some common items y’all keep on hand in the truck for a break down I keep some belts and a fuel filter and some fluids. What else should be added to the list of stuff for a potential break down?

    Handy to know. Hopefully this is a problem I won’t run into again but it paid to be prepared Also nice to have another card up my sleeve. Each experience gives me one. I’ll always keep gaining knowledge but some day I’ll be the one able to give some more answers instead of having to ask the...

    Just so you can see the set up. I originally baught that flex line with the fittings to run all 8. But the threads were wrong so that didn’t work. Cut the end off the injector line that was still good and ran the hose from there to the jug as mentioned previously. There’s just the visual...

    Update here. I had the same idea. Swapped around to the good end an through some fuel line on into the cab. I’ll make it home in time. She’s lookin pretty hard. But running strong not letting me down. Picked up a hitch hiker in the Wally World Parkin lot. He’s holdin the jugs lol

    Well the guy at O’Reillys is pretty darn helpful. He’s making me a hose. Doesn’t have the right flares on it so might leak. But I’m gunna cinch it down best I can and run it.

    My injector line has snapped off pretty much right at the pump. I’m wondering how I can plug it Meaby a mail in the end of it?

    Hey. I can explain this later. But right now I need to know this. Can I plug one of my injector lines so that no fuel can go through it. And just run on 7 cylinders? Edit…. Will this hurt my injection pump if the fuel has no wear to go. Or will pressure build up. Will the truck even run...

    Drive shaft length questions

    Interesting idea. Hadn’t thaught of doing that. The trouble is. Is we sold our shop and have to be out by October 1. So can’t have my truck down waiting on the shaft. How far could I go on my front diff if I went pretty slow without doing any damage. Now I’m just kinda curious Could I...

    Drive shaft length questions

    Man the prices of em new are terrible haha. I looked before that’s why I’m havin mine extended. I did get the front drive shaft from the donor truck. But it was a standard cab and somebody had cut the rear shaft so unfortunately getting the back shaft wasn’t an option. Sound advice. May...

    No wait to start light when hot

    I my pump made it 170,000 before it crapped out. But even before it became un drivable I noticed how weak it seemed. I had a reputable local guy rebuild mine and made a huge difference. Mpg and power. Makin it up hills in OD that it would have downshifted before the new pump. You clearly...

    No wait to start light when hot

    Sounds to me like it could be your injection pump going out potentially. When mine was on the way out after I drove it for a while and shut it off it hated starting back up till eventually it had to sit for a long period of time before it would crank back up. When the motors hot on mine my wait...

    Fuel Sending Unit

    I would also add if you had the money to just replace both tanks new. Especially while the bed is off. I got mine for a hundred bucks a peice with a good warranty and youll start fresh and know what you have. Pin holes are no fun and will show up one day when you don’t expect even if the tanks...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    At the end of the day that’s what counts. Just hard to see purpose or plan when your goin through stuff. Easier to look back and have a greater understanding and see what God was doing. Thank you for the scripture

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I put my darlin in the ditch today. I got really really lucky. Hard to explain in writing. But the Lord was lookin out for me…. Why? I don’t know. But he was. I admittedly was goofin off with some freinds and got too loose with it. And I’m supposed to take it on a few thousand mile...

    7.3 dies at full throttle

    Just an update. I took the return line off the ip and blew through it with my mouth. Seemed real hard at first but with continued blowing it was easy. I believe I read some where recently in a previous thread on how to diognose where a clog could be in the line but can’t find the thread...

    7.3 dies at full throttle

    Could be that it’s worked itself through now too. Since I’ve run it for a while and it seems like it’s good
