WoW agreed it does feel so much better to be validated over being vilified, a shame the "haters" made some of us feel no longer welcome here.

Yes delivered fuel pressure to IP will tell us a Lot, you can have bad fuel and plugged filter at any time, lift pumps known to fail as well. I got bit by weak lift pump myself earlier this summer in May doing some disaster relief volunteer work in NC mountains near Ashville, truck ran like a...

Or more fuel, what are you running for a lift pump? I got bit myself in May when doing disaster relief work in NC mountains, fI orgot to look at my IP fuel inlet pressure gauge @ a hair above 0 running factory lift pump, kicked in my Walbo running in parallel with the factory IP inlet back to...

Fuel starvation, bad/weak lift pump, in tank sock plugged, fuel filter in engine bay getting dirty, I don't know if 6.2 fuel tanks are internally baffled like later trucks have, but if the baffle has moved and fuel level is low the sump part of the baffle flopping around could lead to...

Looks like you know your way around metal. Im liking what I see and wish we were closer, have you considered add in some metal stiffening across the "C" frame in stress areas, basically making it "square tube/box beam" , I did that on a rotten frame repair on my 1990 GMC C1500s frame.

Hard to see from photo, but sort of looks like you have 4" DWV pipe(thin wall) you are trying mate to schd 40 thick wall pipe both are schd 40 pressure rated but different diameters, if you have potential of root intrusion or possible crushing with driving over it if not buried deep enough, or...

That sux, I guess he might have a point, low volume of business maybe not worth his while to work our dinosaur tech IPs, still sux.

Do you have a decent IP shop close by, maybe they can do a diagnostic test for you to determine if good or bad for not too much money, or can apply cost of test to their rebuild fee, if test determines it needs a rebuild.

I don't think Tech2 (OBD-2) tool is compatible with tech 1 (OBD-1) setup, iirc totally different comupters in PCM chip vs. flashed, also "pin out" of OBD1 plug is different from OBD-2. For vehicle grounds there should be a post I wrote years ago showing all the vehicle grounds, one of the...

More probable part built overseas and stuffed in a made in USA box, or assembled in USA from foreign parts.

Even Bill Heath ran my FTB when he set the record to beat at Bonneville https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/1006dp-500hp-65l-diesel-race-engine

Yes I hatched it, several have since copied and making $$$ on it, I wasn't smart enough to patent it. :confused:

Thank for replies, I'm not sure which PCM I'm running or tune in it, I have multiple PCMs with different tunes, I'll have to check it out when I get home. I opted on side of caution not wanting to "beat up my truck" with miles more to go, plus being 8 hours away from home, and 6 hours to go to...

If you have been following my posting last couple of days, you might have picked up on that I have left the "flat-lands" and have ventured North via I-10 from MS to I-65 in Mobile AL, to I-85 Montgomery to Atlanta, then I-295, to US-23N into NC bound for Swannanoa NC where I am at present on a...

5521 stock other than FTB mod I did to it over a decade ago ago.
