So I am thinking my injection pump is taking/taken a **** on me.. was running fine, started acting like it was a clogged fuel filter/ my electric pump was no good.. pump was definitely weak..
Got it a couple of hours down the road and replaced the fuel filters and pump, had a hellatious time getting the pump to bleed, had fuel at the injection pump... finally got it running, ran great for about 10 miles, then started acting like a powerstroke does for a while if you run them out of fuel.. did that about another 40 miles, and same story as before, except it just died, and won't restart..
Great fuel pressure at the IP, cracked the lines and a little fuel comes out but not much.. not like you would think... and will not start... ended up leaving it at a ranchers house so I could get back to work (from western Montana and work in north Dakota), so I'll have a couple of weeks to figure it out.. but all of my diagnosis points towards the pump itself bad, but is there something I'm missing? The FSS clicks with the key, and I've jumped power to it to eliminate that, obviously didn't do a compression test along side the road, but it still has even compression...
If the consensus goes towards the injection pump, what is everyone's go to? I'll contact R&D idi but I can't wait for it to be built or anything, I'll be going back in a couple of weeks to fix it, being it's a long ways away...
One of the main reasons I think it might be the injection pump is because the guy I had gotten it from, he said he thought the injection pump was original, and it has 195k miles on it.. his dad had bought the truck brand new for his construction business as the work crummy.. so I really don't know
