thanks, I’ve been reading stickys every evening… it’s had a pretty gingerly life, dad bought it new, his wife dailied it for about 4 years then bought a different car to daily for better gas milage. After that it was only used a few weekends through the summer to pull a horse trailer.
The last year she used it they had some drivability issues, I’m honestly not exactly sure what the problem was. My dad is 80 now and the memory isn’t so good but from what he remembered was that they would get a check engine light that would come and go when they were pulling a trailer but that it never seemed to loose power or stall. I remember him complaining that the local diesel shop had it 2-3 times and could figure out what was wrong. The only part I can tell they replaced was the vacuum pump. I do however have serious concerns about a diesel shop that worked on a 20yo truck at the time and didn’t replace the factory fuel filter. Or at least I’m 99% sure it the original as it was disgusting and had the stanadyne stamping on the bottom and GM tag on the top… anyway it leaks at the heater in the bottom so I’m waiting on a new assembly. It also looks to still have the original PMD on it so I’m just going to go ahead and get that out of the way. I’ve ordered most everything from Leroy so as to keep the money with the people who help out here, paying for my education so to say…
