6.9 died on the freeway and I can't get it started again
- Thread starter Tk83
- Start date
I tried plugging in the block heater and disconnecting the return line, the block heater got the coolant temp up to about 100 degrees, and fuel pours out the return, but no luck at all getting it to even start for a second.
Seems like it takes something along the lines of 750-800 rpm to light one off, don't quote me on that...

A small one, the truck has a Banks turbo kit on it so it's very hard to reach the return line though so I just disconnected it at the back of the engine and let it pour on the ground, and it was enough to make a puddle after cranking for less than 30 seconds.
I was going to have you blow in a fuel tank and push the fuel to the engine but is sounds like you have fuel flow. Have you pulled the small plate on the right side of the pump and observed if you have pump rotation?
Ah ok, yeah I don't have a big enough compressor to do that, and I think whatever the issue is must be after the line feeding the fuel filter. I did not try taking the cover off the injection pump, I will do that next.
Ok so in 3 pages , we've not answered, how many miles are on the pump?
Anything over 125k, and there's nothing much left, yes they will run for a few hunnert k but not like a new pump will....

About 75k on the truck as best I can tell. The original owner died before I bought the truck but the condition and what his son remembered seem consistent with that. It has a Banks turbo that has probably been on the truck since new, and a huge intercooler that idk where it came from.
Ok,
So here's what Russ told me just before he died R.I.P. ...
My truck now has 60 k original miles on it, I was chasing my tail about crappy mpg's.
It was probably @55k or so, we talked about it in detail and his answer was the pump needed a rebuild in spite of the low mileage but because of the age.
Justins new pump transformed the thing.
Once you get fuel delivery to the ip @ 100% with psi and gpm or gph, then once you get the lines purged all the way to the injectors, button them up and check the returns.
Good luck and happy hunting.

I'm using it exclusively as a towpig,
Best to date was coming up hwy 5 over the grapevine babying it empty with stock size tires @14 it had 37k on the clock.
I watched it go down from there.
Towing @ that time, 11.
Right before I swapped pumps it was down to 8-9 on the same trip to the same campground we always go to.
This truck refuses to get mpg from 7.5 to 9+ degrees timing.
I only use it a few times a year, so the new pump rocks for drivability, still working on mpg numbers, but maybe 9-10, right after I installed it, I experienced a clogged air filter from a packrat trashing the turbo bearings.
So I'm guessing @ mpg's right now...

Looking at the receipts for fuel, first tank load going to see IdIot , empty running 75, it got 12.4 highway.
