Could really use some good ideas

[Rmccaig86]

86 6.9 IDI 4×4 w/ banks Square box turbo
68000 miles (yes its actually correct and not rolled over)
This truck sat for 26ish years. I put two battery's in it and it started right up and drive on the trailer. Even drive it on the highway once and it ran just fine. Then I found out the was a hole in the valley pan. Took care of that, fixed a broken off glow plug. Really didn't mess with anything else.
Obviously I removed the injection pump and everything else to get to the valley pan. I replaced the injectors also with new injectors.

When starting the truck now after all this is done it smokes really really bad. And chugs as though it's wanting to stall. If I don't touch the pedal it will slowly stall off.

Here's the kicker if I disconnect the little glass ball check valve for the return fuel line amd let the fuel just spit out it doesn't smoke and idle relatively fine ( I have not driven it with it disconnected so I don't know if it will drive fine under load). Due to weather and personal time I haven't had time to really dig more into it.

Now for the questions:
1. Is that check valve necessary can I remove and just connect the return line straight without it.
2. What the heck is happening to casue this in first place.
3. If someone is local to me (Beaverton/Portland, OR) and wants to figure it out I'll build you a custom fire pit woth your name or whatever you want plasma cut into it. I jusy want my truck back on the road.

Howdy neighbor, I'm in B town as well.

When you did the valley pan, did you pull the injection pump? May need to be timed. Its also usually good practice to replace the pump at the same time you do the injectors, as they wear together.
If you want a second set of eyes, shoot me a dm, I'm sure we could connect to get it looked at.

Talking with him, sounds like pump timing needs adjusted quite a bit. We'll connect at some point so I can adjust it for him. Had to follow up so @Jesus Freak has closure

I really appreciate that. I looked at this thread earlier and almost said that it might be 180 out, but I saw where he had PMed you and I knew that he was okay and that I could sleep well....... until I realized that he hadn't mentioned how he was gonna stabilize his coffee/cold drinks while driving with all that unbridled horsepower and then I says to myself "SELF!!! he's pming with @Nero , they're going to cover, cupholders, IP timing, air intrusion, electric fuel pumps, the evils of WMO, the works!" And then myself says to myself, "self, you're right, this is @Nero we're talking about, sure he burned Rome to the ground and blamed it on the first century Christians, but that was almost 2000yrs ago, he's a better dude now" and I says to myself, "you're right, sleep well my odd friend ".

Thank you for closure, @Nero ! Now I don't have to come up with any weird post to add to the end of this conversation.

How come it is that @Rmccaig86 wound up so lucky??????

Here I been for years trying & trying to get some you really smart IDIers to get moved in next door to me so you be close & can come running every time I got some more IDI problems.......Remember....I got all these different projects going, but I get so dumb & stupid & get to needing help to fix my tore up BO-BO's!!!

All us local folks out here in the country got our house, shop, & 5 acres of Juniper Trees. All I got to do is get 1 or 2 my neighbors run off, then some you smart OB IDI'ers can come move in!!!!
I 'll even want @Jesus Freak to come running up here with his salad dressing oils & a box of cupholders!!!!
I'm serious!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait how do you live across from each other and not notice another IDI lol

I had walked down that road a few times. Both are dead end streets across from each other. It might be in his garage cause I dont recall seeing it.


Edit... Now that I think about it... I do remember seeing it. Blue bullnose with a canopy on the back, has a banks turbo emblem on it.

There's WAY too much logic in this statement!

But I think I can explain: better yet I better just leave this alone......but I really want to say some goofy stuff!

It's kinda like sixth sense......"I see dead Ford trucks....."

"They talk to me by sucking air and having beverage stains all over their floor......."

I have had it on the street since I bought the house. Mostly because a few neighbors like to park actuall junk cars (always towed in) up and down the street. I would rather stare at my truck infront of my house rather then a Hyundai with no bumpers and crunched .25 panel. Oh and @Jesus Freak I got the cup holder covered, my main concern is stash for the wet wipes for the vinyl seat. The lady friend has never rode in a mech diesel and is quite excited.

Psss hey @Nero should we tell them that I'm setting up the bounce house and making pulled pork sandwiches.

I'm all about it! Do be careful letting @Nero know about such things, the historical Nero apparently had a habit of playing with matches and running with scissors,.....I'm convinced that the Nero of oil burners fame might do the same....... just sayin'.....
