Ok well oddly enough the problem seemed to go away on its own. I was busy for a few days and wasnt driving the truck but when I got to it, it started right up. It hasnt done it since. Any ideas? or is my truck just messing with me?

Ok I will try the sightglass first. As far as the seals in the IP go, I've only had it for about 10 - 20k miles. I bought it rebuilt maybe 6 months ago but I guess it could have been a shotty rebuild.

After looking it over I do believe I have the stock steel fuel line. With the few suggestions that you guys mentioned is their a specific order I should try them in? The fuel filter housing seems easiest and cheapest, would it be worth trying first? Or the LP is mechanical, so could that be a...

I'm having a problem in the mornings with starting the truck. Every morning for the past 3 mornings I have to bleed the fuel filter for air and the truck will eventually start. My uneducated guess is that somewhere between the fuel tank and the fuel filter is probably a leak where it's...

Thanks for the help. It finally came out after a couple hours of poking banging and prying. Actually the blunt punch is what did the trick. As far as the block heater goes, is it used to heat the water which in turn heats the motor and the oil, making the engine easier to start in cold weather...

Hello everyone. Well I'm trying to install a block heater in my 6.2 84 suburban. I've managed to poke a hole in the plug but can't seem to pry it out. I read somewhere that I could use a hacksaw blade and cut from my hole to the block and that might break it loose. But I'm not sure if that'll...

So would it be better to just hardwire them? I talked to the guy I bought the controller from and he said he doubted it was bad and when I asked him about the warranty he said he'd have to send it in to manufacture so they could test to see if it's their fault or mine. It's probably mine...

thanks for the quick reply. I think i'll get a replacement glow controller because it should be under warranty and I paid like $200 for it. I am thinking though if I have these problems again to hard wire it. The only thing I was unsure of was in the winter time how do I know when to turn the...

It's me again. For some reason in the morning when I go to start my truck to let it warm up the glow plug light comes on and stays on. I shut the the truck off after about 10 to 15 seconds though. Then I keep turning it of and on till it eventually works right. But this morning it wouldn't, no...

Hmmm, so the centrifuge filters the 'bad for fuel' elements/chemicals, but I think you still have to mix in the lye and methonal right? I think one of those 2 separate the glycerin.

Cool, I'll just wait around till I hear something. I've heard it both ways though, that it's bad for the fuel system and good. So I'm just wondering if some guys with experience might know the truth. The book I have has a list in the back with different makes and motors and it rates them on...

Oh ok. What's 'grow your own'?

Did I ask a dumb question or is all bio-diesel made with those ingredients?

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone knows or has experienced any short or long term effects of using the methanol, lye, used cooking oil bio-diesel fuel? I have a 6.2 liter. And this book my Grandpa let me borrow "From the Fryer to the Fuel Tank" seams to be pretty in depth. They talk about the...

Now I have the wires setup right like you marked them in the picture. I just didn't know before what the different wires were and the the functions. The guy I bought my IP from (the same guy that told me to switch the IP out by leaving the lines in and just bend them out of the way) told me to...

Ya, but that wire was ok. What does it do anyway? It was the pink wire. I had the pink wire on the cruise control thing, it needed to be on the IP solenoid. Then the two green wires I guess are for the cold advance and cruise control. Which on my picture are the top clip and the clip to the...

haha...no it didn't have power when cold either. Whicch seams odd to me because then the truck was starting without power to the IP. The only power was to the cruise control.But here's a picture of the pink and green wires. The clip on the right of IP fuel hose is where I had the pink wire ran to.

I hooked the pink wire (wich does get 12v with key on) to the top clip on IP and the green ones to the other clip on IP but the last green wire wouldn't fit on what I think is the cruise control. But it ran ran the two minutes then shut off again. Does the pink wire connect to the top clip in...

Ya I saw it there too, I had it running to the cruise control thing. So I think I just had the wires backwards. One of the smarter things I've done in my life. ):h

I think warwagon was referring to a pink wire but mine are green. I can't remember what wire I checked though when he was telling me about it, but the green wire has a connection that connects to the top clip and another green wire coming off that connects to the bottom clip.
