Also when I changed the LP with the new one a good amount of fuel came out from the truck side.. I ordered a new tank and hopefully it will be replaced tomm..
I have the new PMD mounted and the harness run to the IP but when it was acting up I switched it back to the one that was on the IP...
Thanks everyone . I was able to do a little trouble shooting .. So when the truck is cold , has been sitting and is newly started is when it runs the best. It runs fine for approx. 15mins or so.
I started the truck and opened the drain valve. There was a pretty steady flow .
1)I was able to...
I'm very new to the diesel game and might talk a "Good Game" but I don't have half and iota of the knowledge and experience of most of the members.
I'm diffintley not a mechanic but am some what mechanically inclined and perfer to do most of my work myself, wether or not it's correct? That's...
No I assumed that with a brand new LP installed yesterday and the fact that I can hear and feel it humming and working it wasn't that. when i turn the key I can hear it working and filling the bowl.. On the other thread it was determined I had a bad ground from the factory harness to the LP so I...
Correct.. It was very low just dribbling out even with the T-valve opened full.
Oh and Sorry . I reconnected the excisting PMD mounted on the IP. I wanted to rule out a possible faulty new PMD . And both ran the same.
Buddy , I use this in every tank http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_Diesel-Fuel-Supplement-Plus-Cetane-Boost-(16-oz-)-Power-Service_7080137-P_N3231_T%7CGRP2030C____ Ive also used Seafoam in the past ..
Doc, I got that gauge and it was $21 http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_VACUUM-TESTER-Actron_9090006-P_N3389_T%7CGRP2018____but not sure if I used it correctly because it didn't move when I connected it to the petcock where the line from the FM comes out to the...
Buddy, I wish I had your recommendations before I went and saw my buddy the towns mechanic with the scanner. Which was a very high end one worth over $5000 running the 3.0 version. They continually update it due to it being used on town vehicles. I'm no mechanic, so I'm not sure what really was...
I agree but why would it run great when it's cold then like crap when it gets up to temp ? Talked to Diesel mechanic he says possibly EGR problem?I didn't think I had an EGR valve, it's not on top of the intake.
I'm Royaly bummed tho..:sad: The state called me to Plow this morning at 5:30 and...
Thanks everyone.. AK once again thanks. I went to advance auto( my wife told me I should work there I'm there so much):h) and the only one they have was $45 . I really don't want to pay that for a one time check.
I'm bringing it to my buddy's shop tomm. morn. He has a fuel gauge..
The fuel...
Ok . The other thread was getting to long and I determined the problem with my lift pump not working was a faulty ground going to the pump. I ran a jumper cable directly to the negative post and it works fine now..:thumbsup:
HOWEVER , the real issue know is : We had a good snow storm two...
No trouble lights come on just the problem. I just replaced the fuel sending unit 3 months ago along with the line from there to the lift pump as well as the fuel manager. One issue I falled rto mention is when I fuel up the filler neck leaks and the mechanic who did the work said the tank was...
Boys boys stop bickering. When my buddy came over we were able to check power going to the LP and it was determined the ground was bad so we just ran a jumper directly back to the neg post of battery for now. Pump works fine now so the debate continues.
I'm still having a problem with the...
where 's the best place to find the OPS on my rig ? looking over the top of the motor in the engine compartment or from underneat..
I 'm just waiting on a buddy to help with the LP jumping .. safety first.. I'll let u know how it works out...
Obviously I need to get a acdelco OPS replacement...
Thanks . Only problem is the Beasts to long to fit into garage .. I diffinitley wouldn't leave the hot wire attached. :thumbsup:
And when you mean hot wire should i run it directly from the positive side of battery?
I read Doc's sticky and the OPS is located in the rear of the engine near bell housing correct? He also states the OPS and the PCM has to malfunction for no LP power.. The only problem is its almost 6pm here and all the auto stores are closed and not sure if there open tomm.. probably . Might...
