    Low oil pressure update....

    So my oil pressure issues have escalated. Earlier this week I posted on some erratic readouts on my OEM oil pressure gauge..... I hoped that they were a result of a compromise in the wiring system. Anyway, earlier today my gauge read zero absolute zero for about thirty seconds before I caught...

    Oil pressure, inconsitent readings.....

    Yes, I know the factory gauge is a glorified dummy light. Having said that, what are some potential causes for inconsistencies in the readings. Sometimes, the needle hovers at the low end and sometimes it stays within normal. I did check the level, the truck seems to be working very well...

    Confession......

    Over and over I read negative reviews on Autolite GP's and anything other than Beru and Motorcraft. Well, the parts store where I work is an Autolite dealer so I had to find out for myself..... It looks as though I should have listened. After only three months, and less than one thousand...

    Leak around injector.....

    Finally took the plunge and got a Stanadyne return line install kit. It was super easy to install. I went ahead and cleaned up the valleys on the intake before firing it up for the first time after installing the kit so that it would be easy to spot any leaks. Everything looked good upon...

    Sender identification.....

    Could somebody tell me what the sender, which is located at the front of the engine on the driver side just below where the head meets the block is for? On the weekend, I broke the connector terminal off of it. All gauges seem to be working normally. The truck is a 1994. Thanks in advance...

    Easy way to clean fuel from valleys...

    Does anybody know of a good way to clean up diesel fuel from hard to reach areas in the top side of the engine? I have a strong odour in the cab as a result of my last priming job and was hoping there was a product that may be applied to allow the fuel to evaporate more readily. Thanks in...

    Priming question,

    Happy Friday!!! While cranking I am experiencing a clear stream of fuel from the Schraeder valve. Does this rule out a leak before the filter? I have found evidence of two locations where air may be getting in the system, both are after the IP. I installed some fresh hose and new clamps...

    New developments in Yellowknife.....

    I was able to get the truck going finally yesterday afternoon, unfortunately I used ether. Yes the glow plug system was disabled. After I ran it for about an hour, I shut it down to see if it would start back up. It started right away. When taking a look under the hood, I did notice that the...

    GP controller troubleshooting.....

    Is there a sure way of testing the controller? I have tested the glow plugs using the test light method and they all check out. I replaced the solenoid on top of the timer, I am still getting a steady "clicking" from the black box. Does this confirm that it has failed? The wait to start...
