Leon says: There are two major car shows scheduled for September, the Shades of the Past Rod Run Sept. 7 – 9th and the Grand Rod Run Sept. 15 – 17th. We are not aware of any car shows being held here in October. If any of the near members want to try this, let's talk it up, and I will get...

I'll make a call to Leon, and try to find out what is coming up in maybe Sep/Oct, as far as car/truck rallies. It gets pretty hot in July/Aug.

well, c'mon down. I am maybe 90 minutes from pigeon forge. give me a call, and I could meet you there.

No idea on that, but I am a member of some motorcycle forums... two of them meet in Pigeon Forge, TN yearly, and one of them meets in Maggie Valley, NC yearly. Sounds like a fun idea.

Thank you. I would be using epsom salts also, but this old house only has a shower, and I suspect they would be rough on the pump for the hot tub... Yeah, I wish I was closer to someone who knew diesels too. Since I'm not, I am trying to learn.

There are few things that give me any relief. My chiropractor, my inversion table, my hot tub. Exercise? Nope. Not after 3 shoulder surgeries, crushed T-12 vertebrae, bad lower spine, bad knees, and the ball of one foot pounded into pieces. I am down to about 233, from a high of 286, and it has...

Well folks, thank you for the info and ideas. I haven't done anything since the last time I posted on it. My lumbar spine is all bulging disks, and pinching of the sciatic nerve, and I have been pretty much down for over a month now. I am having to use a cane to walk at all, and don't do that...

Alrighty then. I do not have an adapter that will let my compression tester work. Anybody know where I can get an adapter that will screw into a GP hole, so I can attach the compression tester? If I have blown this engine, IS there a BB out there that will bolt up to my bellhousing? I have...

Wow. Great information. Being a Retired Navy electronics tech, I have DVM's out the gazoo(Fluke, MAC, Blue Point, Ideal, etc. I probably have 20 of the things. I like to keep one in the house, in each vehicle, with each tool box, and a few spares.). I really like the idea of checking the glow...

Thanks for the responses. Rodd, I checked the wiring to the stock pump, and wired the 12 volts to the "hot" side of the pump. Battery is good, wire and connector are new... sure looks like a bad LP. JMJNET, no relay in my circuit. I was testing, trying to see if I was right in my thoughts that...

Finally got around to doing a little rewiring today for the LP, bypassing the stock wiring, and running straight to the LP. I never did hear the pump operate, and the truck still ran very rough. Power seemed okay, but very rough. While at the shop, it died, and did not want to restart. Chuck...

Well, I finally had a chance to break loose, and do a little with the truck. Just for grins, I put power to the old LP that I replaced. I have an old 30A power supply from my r/c racing days, and I used that to put power to the old LP. I went black to ground, and orange (more like a baby poop...

Yes, I suspected that could be an issue, having some voltage, but not enough amperage to do anything. Dual relay mod... without looking it up, I am guessing that is involves using the normal output trigger from the stock LP relay, to drive a second relay? I am looking at a couple of options on...

Thanks for the ideas. Batt cables. I have a 4 gauge from pos - pos. Should I also run an additional ground? Aux Alt cable. If you could point me to a thread, I can handle this. Glow plugs. Replaced last year, with the best I could find at OReilly Auto Parts. The reason I am chasing voltage is...

Okay. I replaced the LP. Not remarkably impressed so far. I did no bleeding, so I was not surprised when it took a bit, and some smoking to get going. I was not impressed AT ALL by my initial results. Then I took it down the road a ways, and it is definitely better. Better power, smoother when...

Ahem, will it be here by this afternoon, if not, I will have to fake it... :hihi: What I intend to try first, is to shoot 12vdc through the stock harness to the LP, and see if the pump is even working, I don't know that I have ever heard it run., then I will go from there. I sure am glad this...

Could a stock type relay be used in place of the aftermarket relay, maybe just change the source of the relayed voltage, to ensure the pump gets a full 12vdc? I have a relay, p/n 412210, with the same plug, the same pinout on the schematic... has anyone else considered/looked into this idea...

think of this in your mind to the old little kids ditty... the LP is connected to the relay... the relay is connected to the ops... and ops is located to the... uhhhh, ahhhh where? Decided to roll under the truck yesterday to check some voltages before I get into replacing the lift pump, etc...

Hey! This ain't right!! I saw NO chick!!! Thanks for the info. I will verify my codes, now that I know what I am looking for..

I have codes on a decal in the glove box, but no idea how to decipher them. 1. How can I determine what my rear end is? 2. How do I determine what the original gears are? 3. How do I determine if it is a posi, by the decal? 4. Can someone explain the diff between a posi, and a...
