Had a similar problem on my '94. Turned out to be the o-ring on the inlet side of the lift pump. New set of O-rings solved the problem. Took a close look at the o-rings I pulled out and there was a small nick in the o-ring from the inlet. enough to let air in under suction. I had just put...

Alternator upgrade to AD244. Started on this, and ran into a few challenges. Existing wiring harness connector for the alternator is CS style, and I need a CS130D style for the AD244 alternator. Power cable to the battery is also different size. On the '95 the cable is smaller and has a 12...

Round 2 on flushing system. Drained coolant, fill with distilled-up to temp heater on-drain, Thoro-Flush with distilled-10 min flush per directions-drain, fill and flush with heater return hose to drain pan (25 gallons) pretty clear - filled with distilled-up to temp-drain. Here's what I had...

Tracked down some Thoro-Flush. CARQUEST was the only local auto parts store that carried it. CARQUEST Part Number: 911016 $13.59 a bottle. One bottle per 6 gallons. Mfg is Irontite. Planning on a drain - refill with distilled and up to temp then drain to get the coolant out before I use...

Just replaced the thermostats on my '06, and I had the same problem only worse. No pins and not even any holes in the shroud. Only thins holding it on was the one side clip.

Welcome. Glad you decided to join. I just joined a few months ago, and I've received A LOT of very good help from the members on this site. My project is pretty boring, just getting a '95 Yukon up to par, and every time I've asked a question I get a good answer - even on the simple basic...

It had dexcool before I started flushing. After all the flushing went with green Sierra, and that's what's in it right now + water wetter and distilled. I'll do a distilled cycle after I drain the current mix and see if I can track down some Thoroflush. What kind of dosage with vinegar?

This weekend was going to be a water pump upgrade to HO one. Started by flushing out the system. Engine up to temp and drained from radiator drain plug - bad idea. My '94 had a hole just below the drain that worked perfect - no hole with the Yukon Getting the plug out and not burning your...

Zip ties are for the heater hose. Hard pipe from thermostat housing that's supposed to run along the head to the heater is missing. Zip ties are holding heater hose off turbo housing until I can pull the hard pipe off the '94.

Pulled the intake, replaced the fuel line and drain line, and installed the non-egr intake. The amount of oily sludge coating the inside of the egr manifold was shocking. I'm glad I'm not going to have that going into the engine anymore. Intake manifold gaskets were from NAPA. They listed...

Had a pleasant Eau Du Diesel smell from under the hood after the drive home from work. Fuel dripping off bottom of Fuel Manager. At least I'm a little ahead of the game on this one. Bought a kit From Leroy's Diesel along with the Walbro pump. Pulled the Fuel Manager replaced all the O-rings...

Installed a new accelerator pedal assembly this morning. I tried the 2K test, but I couldn't get a slow increase from idle to about 1,100-1,200 rpm no matter how gentle with the foot. Tried using just finger tips and the same thing I had a brand new accelerator assembly in the '94 (less than...

Ordered a rebuilt injection pump from Heath today

Here's the info on the thread tape on the Walbro lift pump

What mix ratio for the 2 stroke oil? I've been using Redline Diesel Fuel Treatment on each fill up.

Lift pump powered up with Leroy Diesel harness. Works great - especially the manual switch. Collected almost 2 quarts out of the top of the fuel manager before I got all the air out of the system. Would have been a real pain without the manual switch on the harness.

2 days driving to work with the Walbro pump, and so far so good. The engine seems to be running smoother at highway speeds and pulling a little stronger and a little less rpm drop when I hit the over passes. Air cleaner intake thoroughly cleaned when I did the injectors and glow plugs. Air...

It is a tape (PTFE I think) rated for use with gas and diesel fuel. A Parker distributor for the plant gave me a roll a while back. I'll see if I can get some info on it.

Finally got the Walbro lift pump installed. Fabricated a support bracket out of 1/4" plate and mounted it on the cross member. Bracket is offset to the front of the cross member, and everything is safely tucked away and protected from road debris by the bracket or cross member.
