So maybe thats the solution ....no grounding like it is on the IP....so you saying heath has insulated it from the chassis....via some kind of spacers?
Exactly my thoughts.....shoot even if you could build it yourself... triple the size... with a home made solder kit, it would probably be better and cheaper than most of them...
It doesnt need to be the size of a Pump Mounted Driver anymore...
at least not in the aftermarket life.
I got that one you put in the link...I have used the Silver grease on 3 PMD's so far....looks to be good for about 6 or 7 applications.....depending on how crazy you get with it. I just used a thin layer as too much will be squeezed out after tightening down.
Good Article....What If I don't want to upgrade the water pump at this time....What Am I looking for, as far as a used Fan and fan clutch?
Like what years engine size (diesel 6.6?) and types of vehicle would I pull this off of at the junk yard?
I think I'm going to get a new 195Thermo as...
Oh and lets not forget about that Filter Harness http://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/album.php?albumid=666
I had a gray PMD one just die after 13 months using NO filter.... Anybody else not using one thats experienced a failure, or using Heaths PMD?
Funny I just found Stanadynes Sales Pitch on their Grey PMD
Stanadyne is the maker of the injection pump and has come out with an updated version of the PMD. Stanadyne has termed their new DS Pump Mounted Driver as "Bullet-Proof ", since they incorporated a series of new features for added...
Hmm I just went and checked...I think it might not be as good as you think....
Negligible electrical conductivity:
Arctic Silver Thermal Adhesive was formulated to conduct heat, not electricity. NOTE: Even though Arctic Silver Thermal Adhesive is specifically engineered for high electrical...
That would sure suck!.....evertime somethin electrical goes haywire that it would be shortening your PMD as Well!
Maybe it needs some kind of isolation device ;)
Yes because the Gray PMD uses a different connector than the Black ones....at least on my 95.
This is What I'm in the proccesses of doing also...I bought a couple used PMD's for Backup and new cable and Heatsink.....my current Heatsink is not big enough to house 2 PMD's......and I dont think...
I had a few instances this past summer were I would be at a light with my foot on the brake, and my engine just revved up like some one punched....but each time i thought I got pushed from behind...that will wake you up ...especially with a car inches form your front bumper.
Maybe Some Kind Of filter, regulator, choke, etc. could be made to go in between the connections and see if this improved longivity....I would think that one of the PMD makers would have thought of that and done some testing, and if it seemed to work would market it with there pmd for some extra...
Well the New Grey PMD that I purchased from Southeast Power Systems in Daytona
Beach FL , off of ebay failed already. I purchased It in October of 2009 and put 11,000 Miles on it.....and it came with a 2yr warranty...so Im sending it back....Hope the next one lasts longer.
It was a new GREY...
Here was a good thread about mufflers....

I to wanted Stainless....but I heard the sound was awful....like a tinny metallic sound.
I ended Up getting a DE and turned the muffler...
Well I Got a Replacement CDR for $55.....I hope it Helps.....If not I 'll have a Spare.
I did notice that when I changed my Intake Manifold the Intake Valves Stems all had Deposits on them..... I wonder if Its from Sucking the Oil in Over Time.
So Buddy, when I finally get around to getting a chip from you.... I should set it back to stock at what... 7mm3, 8mm3, or 9mm3.
I know about having it less than 4...think i got it 2 to or 3mm3 and it would barely idle.
