How's the fuel solenoid work? I thought he'd have fuel coming out the hole with the solenoid removed and fuel pressure at the injection pump

After brake clean I frequently use Amsoil metal protector, Marvel or Sea Foam. Just because they're handy. If I get Brake Cleaner on paint or plastic, I always squirt with something more friendly. MP, plastic lube, electronic lube or Simple Green

I'm sometimes surprised at prices. Both ways

Especially for me. I still like beer. It just doesn't like me anymore. Maybe it never did. Lol Nothing wrong with scotch

My thoughts exactly

I'd squirt it with some brake clean and call it good. Get a snake light/ camera or attachment for your phone - if you have a smart phone. I use an old electric fuel pump / retired lift pump, to clean out stuff like that. I used to primarily use SeaFoam. I've found that brake clean, cleans...

Those can be in awful short supply and hard to find.

That's where I installed a fused, safety toggle switch on the firewall. It was very handy. I'm always surprised that wire isn't mentioned more on the 6.5 diesel pages. They're always talking about jumping the relay and stuff. I never see anyone else mention using that wire. I think that...

I had more luck with that after having the block heater plugged in for a couple hours. Cold bolt, warm block does make a difference https://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/forums/6-2-and-6-5-technical-reference-library.218/...

I always install a toggle switch under the hood to run the lift pump, so I usually give a little bit of fuel as hooking up to the IP, to try to minimize air

Never figured out anything today. Tomorrow I need to call and find out which fuel tank screen I need. I pulled the shut off valve to clean the tank and there was no screen attached. They used the same tank & screen on a butt load of different machines. The only one I found said it was for a...

On the fuel filter there's arrows indicating in and out. The line on the right has always been in the out port on the right and the plug in port with the arrow pointing in. I swapped the 2. That's the return line from the injection pump. It's been the other way forever. From what I read, it...

I removed the inlet line to the pump. I have fuel there. I pulled inlet connector and lifted the spring out. Everything looked clean there. It says a sticking metering valve will usually stick in the off position. Preventing the engine from starting I'm wondering if that might be my problem.
