    Running out of things to change

    Is there a way to make for sure that is the problem? Or did I do that with the voltage check? Suggestions where to acquire a replacement? I'm seeing daylight at the end of the tunnel, I just hope it isn't a train! I guess if I change it, I could change my OPS with a remote mount and do...

    Running out of things to change

    Ok, so it was considerably warmer this morning. -14C. I went out with multimeter in hand, flipped back the rubber nut covers on the GP controller. Checked the volts on the batteries first, 12.1 V both batteries. Got my girlfriend to hit the key. 11.98v on the supply side, assuming that is...

    I've been doing some reading, http://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/showthread.php?19438-Carter-Fuel-pump This isn't the pump I have. Its a replacement, Carter albeit, but its the factory replacement inline gas job fuel filter look alike. Could it be bleeding back through the pump causing me to...

    Running out of things to change

    Oh, and I missed the question. It starts the same regardless day or night as long as it sits for a while. -25 Dec 31, went into Newfie Speed and Sport was in there 45 minutes, came out, long crank but fired first time. Probably held the start for a good 10 seconds.

    Running out of things to change

    Anything past -10C its plugged in. I've cycled them 2x lots. I'll let them fully cycle, wait, turn off the key, wait 10 seconds, turn it back on, cycle, then hit it. It won't fire right away, so I'll let it crank for a few, stop, turn back the key, wait, count to 10, turn it ahead and cycle...

    Running out of things to change

    I didn't find a pressure gauge at Princess Auto so I'll have to wait a few days. I do have the driving lights, and they dim quite a bit in cycle. This morning -34C with wind, fired again, third try. Just seems like it is a fuel problem. Average puff of grey and as quick as it came it went...

    Does it ever stop bleeding?

    I'm with all you fella's on this. Seems like all I've done is replace replace replace. Cheap to run though, no payments. Someone also said who makes a half ton diesel? No one. These trucks are worth it, you just have to stay on top of it. I worry too about the day it decides that enough is...

    It's all good brother! I read the troubleshooting guide a bit before you suggested it. I'm going to get a pressure gauge to check these things out. It's wicked cold here right now, like -5F and I can't get it indoors right now. So I'll be doing this in a few days. What about the voltage at...

    Running out of things to change

    I've got my rig here that doesn't want to start right away. Quite a few cranks before it even thinks of firing. So far I've changed the glow plugs to Bosch, new lift pump, I just finished building brand new battery cables out of 2 gauge wire and 2/0 to the starter soldered shrinked and...

    Reusing Your Stock Oil Cooler

    I had asked this before too. RDM and I discussed this a bit. If you can find a shop that can make your lines for you and you didn't have a bearing turn on you, then its far more cheaper and beneficial for the simple fact you can build your lines and run them anywhere. I have access to the...
