I’m the pain in the a** guy with another question probably last one till next year have to head to Colorado in a few days…so yesterday I hooked up what electric connection I could and tightened down intake manifold bleed the fuel filter till air bubbles gone left the injectors loose cranked it...

I never would have guessed that…interesting

Thanks for turning me on to this site its great

Grounds… thanks

So in the morning I get some bolts to tighten the intake..the truck is in the sun right now so later I will attempt to hook up the electrical connections

Well I started out on Diesel Place under panran “won’t budge a silly mm” and someone on that site suggested this site I’m glad they did

Too funny…I’m missing a few bolts on intake…is that okay….when I bought the truck it was seized but I didn’t know it.. this is the sales pitch Description 2wd ran last year, I bought a newer truck and don't drive this one any more, had new head gaskets and heads redone about 1000 miles before...

Just occurred to me I saw a post somewhere about removing the glow plugs and you will see a mist coming out…would that be a better way to bleed the injectors and less wear on the batteries?

Thanks I got the specs and the link for the tubing but can’t seem to find anything on sealant ..and the intake bolt info saved to files I really needed that because when I got the truck intake,exhaust,and cross over were just mocked up with a couple of bolts holding each in there place, cross...

Thanks just saved to my files

Thanks for the pictures guys…I’ll have to look up the intake specs I seen you mentioned sealant in another post

You folks on this forum are great thanks…A picture is worth 1000 words..now I have an idea how some of this engine goes back together and the line now I know…no I am not planning on starting the engine without the intake but I was thinking if I run the injector fuel line to the ip and not...

Yeah the ip lines were hard and that’s where I started also..much easier coming off

Thanks important info…I kind of put 2+2 together after I posted as some other members mentioned about coolant passage…I am sometimes slow at comprehension have to read the same sentence 4 or 5 …so I did buy 2’ of 1/4” 5/16” and 3/8” clear hose the other day at the hardware store just so I...

Thanks but not quite sure sure what a wet hole is…But I did get the 2 lower injection line on the pump I tried to find a 12 point flare wrench or crows foot local but no luck they came off a lot easier. I’ll try to tighten them up in the morning and then test them to see if they leak before...

WOW..a lot to consider my first diesel…never heard of what a runaway diesel meant thanks for the warning I’ll have to try to research that…. I’m not going to try and start without intake installed..was just thinking I could get fuel pumping to make sure it not contaminated before moving...

Okay..so I am connecting the injector lines and darkness and mosquitoes paused that got 4 tightened up…so the thought of testing for leaks before putting intake on…so the truck hasn’t ran in over a year maybe longer, but last week I had the idea of trying to pump oil to the rockers before...

Thanks everyone…a new question came to mind…while connecting the injector lines..should I start a new thread or just continue..still need advice on thought that occurred while moving around the fuel filter housing.

Lookin back at the picture…looks like they might attach to the stud the tranny dipstick tube is attached to

ak diesel driver and dbrannon79 thanks for the reply…during a beer break I looked up grounds and there were pics by Turbine Doc and it seems to be like one I saw bolted to intake manifold.. I will have to look for the 3rd one…I was posting on diesel place and someone mentioned this was an...
