Sorry, I missed this part of your original post “… removing the fuel line from the front of the lift pump and attaching one going to a bucket just to see if the pump is actually moving fuel.” Yes, do this to confirm the new pump is operational. Then the line up to the FFM can be purged of air...

Concur on copper crush washer. I hope you also replaced the o-rings w/ the new ones provided in Leroy’s kit. Torque for the bolt: Filter Adapter Bolt--47 ft lbs (65 nm) Thank you @AlbertRedneck https://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/threads/torque-specs.612/ Post #6

Orientation Draining fuel from FFM; open the small T-handled valve on the Thermostat Housing and run the lift pump. If the rubber hose leading downward is still attached, you’ll want a catch can or, extend the hose to one. Otherwise, diesel puddle time. This is also a good location for a temp...

You'll be fine. Fuel Pressure is down. You could drive it into the garage, shut it down and go to work without fuel pressure worries.

If you haven’t purchased the socket yet, here’s the type I have. 3/8 square Drive or, 7/8” wrench. Leroy and Quadstar used to rent them but I didn’t see that offering on their sites this a.m. A couple of sources. https://otctools.com/products/detroit-diesel-injector-socket or another...

Leaving the races yesterday with my Navy Brother Jack and waiting in line to get in line to get in line to leave. Suddenly there's a guy at my window saying, "hey is that motor a transplant"? Diesel in a half-ton questions, you know the deal. Said he and his buddy heard my diesel coming and his...

Ich verstatest dir nicht!

About ____ time for it too. Still got snow tires on the wife’s Golf.

For those scratching their heads at the ‘Blue DEF” on the tailgate, it’s what’s left from when I had the Touareg and I’m taking it to my brother whom I’m going to the races with. He’s got a 2017 Silverado…nice ride.

Loaded up with the big grill, chairs, cooler, etc. and headed out in a head/cross wind towards Vegas. Going to watch the 4-Wides this weekend with family. They wanted to try the Nellis Air Base RV site vs. hoteling so, they got a trailer and I decided to rent a Motor Home for 'camping'...

My last set of rebuilt "Bosch" injectors supplied from a locally reputable diesel shop wouldn't pop until well after 32-3500# psi and then they just pissed streams. Yeah, no thanks. Not unless you can get them pop and spray tested.

Hate phone apps. Looking at it I dumb-thumbed the add to cart link!!! Carefully open the cart (and ONLY open) and “remove.” The old adage of “keinen finger-gepoken unt mitten-grabben” currently applies to me far too often.

True. My block is a 6.2 and the Scat crank was turned down to accept the two piece rear main seal. FWIW, the oil pans for one piece and two piece rear mains are different too.

Happy to help

@94 Woody, If I haven't seen your username earlier, welcome to the forum. My throttle went completely dead after a few days of slow/no response episodes. STS light illuminated. Fortunately, a restart got me going but, the issue wasn't fully re-solved until swapping out the PCM. FWIW, I miss...

If you're referring to the Optical / Fuel Temperature sensor on the DS-4's top, front... ...this is a pin out and diagram I was able to locate w/o a more exhaustive search of my 97 manuals which, I seriously doubt, there's been any changes since the IP hasn't. The Stanadyne DS-4 manual I have...

Took the truck in for its annual tire rotation. Was stopped by the new manager, an employee and a customer to ask about the 1/2 ton diesel. The employee (20-ish) said he didn't know they put diesels in 1/2 tons "way back then." Great! Let me put on my grey ZZ Top beard and lean on a cane so I...

Absolutely. Did the Fuel Lines from the tank forward to the IP; Turbo Oil Feed and Transmission lines. Summit racing Part # SUM-230615 https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-230615?seid=srese1&gclid=CjwKCAjwh4-wBhB3EiwAeJsppAN1li_RYMPrY4Ib4J_aVkMGwezurDWV3J0VQnSvWGngbG4t__vfSxoCi68QAvD_BwE Got...

1996 era.

Built my own transmission lines. 3/8” braided and 6 AN fittings. Then, the 6 AN to whatever the transmission, cooler and Radiator fittings are. I don’t trust my recollections so here's a couple of pictures. 90* fittings at the Transmission Radiator Connector
