I ordered a Moose yesterday. Wyatt (sp?) was very helpful in figuring out which one would best suit my gentle driving style and Suzi was on top of the e-mail correspondence. I'm really looking forward to seeing what a new pump will do to this old truck. I'm planning on doing this over a weekend and need the truck back in service before Monday. My TDI was totaled by insurance and the truck is my new primary driver until I can find a suitable replacement. That said, a few questions...
I have a Kent Moore and have timed IDI engines before and have the wrenches to get at the three forward facing bolts. I have heard people using a 8mm and 5/16 socket (12pt) to remove the rear facing bolts which are behind the timing gear cover. Is one preferred to the other? I recognize I'm splitting hairs on this but I want to keep Murphy away.
I have a facet fuel pump so when the new pump goes in I anticipate bleeding air out of the system by loosely attaching the fuel lines to the injectors, turning the pump on, and watching for fuel out of all eight injectors. Any problems with this?
It's an E4OD and I have adjusted the TPS before the way @FORDF250HDXLT described. When removing the entire TPS assembly, once the screws are removed, does the whole thing just side out and slide back on to the new pump and the adjustment is made with the screws? In short, is it just a few screws holding the assembly to the pump and should it come out easily?
For those who have done it before I'd love to hear your 'I wish I knew...' stories.
Thanks in advance.
