I spent the day swapping the starter again. I discovered I caused the starter problem with the new starter because, while I thought the rear bracket was tight, it was not and vibrated out the bolt and was lost to the road and I found the heat shield hanging out. After I got it out and...

A van engine won't fit in a truck. The turbo in the rear does not clear the firewall. The parts being the heads and intake are different. The other van is a GM G30 early cutaway dually that will be junked.

The Vortec is from a 1999 van and I have the ECM and wiring harness. It is bolted to a built 700r4 1997 was the last year smog check exempt in California for a diesel. An engine swap must be OEM complete down to catalytic converters. The state would have no reason to know, but they would...

Yeah, not going to spend more money on. Diesel. The motor is coming out

Yeah, I was hoping it was fixed but after it got cold,, then the new starter apparently has a shorter throw on the bendix because cranking it would not stay engaged. The Bosch I took out - the three under power all glowed red within 10 seconds at the tip, but I didn't continue to if the entire...

Yeah, I already thought to bypass it with a with a remote spin on adapter I have collecting dust, and ordered fittings from Amazon to a locker delivery. Then a couple of employees quit and the store started keeping irregular hours closed for almost a week, and my deliveries never happened and I...

Yes

I don't run biodiesel. On occasion I might top off the tank with b20 if it is cheaper. As I said I run r99 or r95 R99 alleviates most of the issues that were present with the biodiesel blend. R99, unlike biodiesel, is hydrogenated, meaning the oxygen molecules are removed during the refining...

Yeah, cute but I would never use that because it mounts under the van. As it is the OEM one has a protective steel deflection shield that must be removed to get at the filter. It was hit once by a piece of road debris once and did its job. It is bad enough I have the regulator hanging under...

As little work as possible. Here is pic of the water in fuel sensor. As you can see the washer is cut funky so it can leak. The stud that got the jb weld was be unscrewing the sensor bolt completely putting jb weld light on the threads near the upper only and threading it back in. No jb...

It is under the driver's seat area under the van. A pic of the filter is at ebay.com/itm/204136702960 It slip on a male tube, and is held up by a a twist ring lock. The black part on the bottom is where the the water sensor is - they do not come with new filters. It has a screw stud up the...

No. A van has a fuel filter mount found under the driver's seat area under the van with a slip on filter that seals with female seals built into the new filter like ebay.com/itm/204136702960

A van does not have that setup

@Will L. Thanks for all of that. It was running 14 psi until I put on the new filter. Then I guess freer flow upped the pressure. By "ffm" I am guessing that is "fuel filter mount"??? No JB Weld possible in the fuel, that was a small amount only on the upper threads of the sensor screw to...

@dbrannon79 The Stanadyne DS4 service manual says "working pressure 5 to 18 psi. If you unplug it and try to start it, it is the same as putting on a new one as far as the ECM is concerned. It will need a TDC relearn, aka the KOKO procedure at minimum Actually the IP can take around 22 psi...

@dbrannon79 thanks for that, but unplugging causes the need for a new KOKO procedure, it being a van and pushing 18 psi there is likely no air and I won't be able to see the return line well anyway. It is an intermittent no start. More like what I have is an odd no inject problem. The Bosch...

97 service van. Noticed filter (under driver area) leaking. New filter but the water sensor was the source. Found a new one, put it on, but it leaked through the sensor screw. Put the original non sensor one on, took out the sensor screw, jb weld on the upper threads, blasted oil off and...

@MrMarty51 re your number 20 post - The last time I used a pump like that to drop to quadrajet pressure I had to use a by pass type regulator back to the tank. That would mean adding a return line to the tank. You cannot really easily tap into the diesel return line with risking plugging...

@Bezzer Sounds good. I have a 97 6.5 high top wheelchair lift equipped hydraulic lift van I have four interior AGM batteries which I can run down to12. 4 volts. When the two isolated starting batteries are brought in after start, they go to charging all. Only dual alternators will supply...
