Check the lift pump its on the left lower corner of the block, it should have a hand primer try and prime it and open the air bleeder on top of the filter and see if it builds any pressure if not then the lift pump is bad
Well i sold the old 6.5 and bought me a 1996 dodge ram 3500 5 speed, 12 valve with the P7100 p-pump. 6 new tires, new lift pump, running no fuel plate, has new 5 inch exhaust paid 5800. Truck runs great and have lots of mods soon to come.
Got the new injectors in, changed the oil and she fired right up and runs great, took it for a drive it it was smokeing for awhile bec of the diesel fuel in the exhaust from the other mechanic flooding and hydrolocking the motor but all seems well now
Its like 3 injectors on the right bank and 1 injector on the left bank, the one injector that was loose, was letting diesel into the cylinder and the other mechanic hydrolocked the motor before i ever worked on it, when he eventually got it to fire diesel was pouring from the exhaust, he isnt to...
Yeah thats what i was thinking, ive looked every where inside the top of the motor and can seem to locate it, i guess i will do a one more check before i put it back together monday.

Ok at the shop i work at one of the mechanics replaced all 8 injectors in this ford with the 6.0l. Well 4 of them went bad again so i tore it apart on friday and got the bad injectors out. Well one of the injectors was loose and you can see where the combustion gases was blowing around the...
I guess this customer trys to do the work himself,he has us figure the problem out and then trys to do the repair. I have done intake gaskets on a 3.8 but not on the 3.1. Im pretty sure you have to also remove all the push rods in order to remove the intake gasket and the trick is each push rod...
Ok i currently am a mechanic at a shop here in town working full time. I have a great deal of knowledge but am still learning and ask for help when i need it. I am working on a chevy corsica i think thats what it is. Well the guy brought the car back twice saying it would over heat and me and...
My plan isnt to roal coal, i think thats stupid bec when ever you see black smoke thats a loss of power that could potentially be harnessed to make a great deal of power, i was wanting a cummins because of their rep, they are strong, reliable, lots of aftermarket parts, you can find a cummins in...
I got the new head gasket on and she runs better than ever before, the coolibg system has hardly no pressure even after riding around for 30 min and theirs no check engine light now, and I only did the 1 head gasket since I'm going to sell it eventually.
Bad news. :( I got the head off and all of the pre cups have cracks and their is a crack in one of the combustion chamber right between the valves.
The one picture is to show you where the gasket was leaking
I might end up doing the head gasket this weekend, I figured its about 100 dollars in gaskets as long as everything else looks good when i get it apart, i will be sure to take pics if i do it.
Ok i took off the tstat housing and took the serp belt off, and sure enough it was blowing bubbles from the driver side of the motor like crazy, so its a huge leak and not small, if its coming out this fast just idling imagin how much it leaks when under boost. I though i took a vid but i guess...
