My 1994 F-350 4x4 CC TD

[SLC97SR5]

Pretty nice looking tips after 50k!
All the injectors cracked loose nicely and retained their copper washers.

The truck is running, I took it for a spin and the e4OD is shifting poorly so I'm off to dial in the TPS.

I've had the block heater plugged in to keep the engine hot, currently maintaining 160* at the IP to give some good hot start tests.

It has been a long while since I've actively posted on the board. In that time the '94 has received some attention.

I replaced the headlights with OEM style housings and replaced both front fenders due to rot in the lower corners.

A GE CF34-3B1.

Getting her cleaned up before the next snow storm.

Who has a good source for a new set of step bars and quality rear bumper?

Dang it.
My truck will not start when hot. This is the original issue I had with the OEM IP, then the Moose pump and again with the Moose JR and Moose Buddy injectors. I installed this IP last September. It has made it around 10k miles until the same old symptoms showed up.

I emailed Conestoga Diesel today, we'll see what they have to say.

 

[Thewespaul]

Bummer! Maybe its not cranking quick enough when hot? How do the cables look?

 

[SLC97SR5]

Unfortunately, cables look great and the batteries are a matched set. Less than a year old.

It is also hazy at idle, I've never had that before.

 

[Thewespaul]

Same starter as with the old pumps?

 

[SLC97SR5]

No. The starter and alternator have been replaced a couple times. The old starters took some heavy abuse with the hot starting.

 

[Thewespaul]

Dang, well let us know what mel suggests

 

[SLC97SR5]

I received a solid email from Mel and he was also suspect of possibly cranking slower when warm.

Although the batteries, alternator and starter are fresh I will take another look at the cables to eliminate that.

I am sceptical because I can hook up the 200A engine starter/charger or my JNC 660 and hear VERY little difference if any in the cranking speed....it also does not start when hot even if those items are connected.

 

[Thewespaul]

If you pour cool water onto the back of the injection pump does it start hot?

 

[SLC97SR5]

Yes. That is the only way I've ever been successful in starting a heat soaked IP.

That is the part that has me bummed out...it seems like classic heat soak.
