Been around a bit
Well is seems that when I got my burb alot of things had been replaced by the PO. Loads of newer Heath Diesel parts,, TM, Bosch Injectors, chip, lift pump, exhaust, IP filter, to name a few,,
Hmm That lift pump, sure looked pretty new to me!,, So I over looked it as a cause of the slight stumble in the 1400-2200 rpm range,, from time to time. Now it didn't always do it,, and I'm not a heavy foot driver by any means.
I only work 1 mile from my house, and live in a small town. So I don't have need to go past 2000 rpms hardly at all. I've check all the grounds,,, couldn't be any cleaner. I did get a new PMD and put it on a heatsink out behind the license plate.
Needed issues to cover,, but those two things, did nothing for the Fish Bite.
So today, as I'm doing the fan clutch and Dmax fan. I decided to poke around a bit,, I found the fuel line to the IP had a loose clamp, So I snugged that up, and the T-valve had a loose clamp on the drain tube,, so I snugged that up as well. Then the thought came to me to try to open said drain valve, and well what cha know? Truck stalled. I unhooked the front fuel line on the OUT side of the lift pump, and ran it,, lot's of rattling,, but NO pumping. :mad2:
Off to the Zone to get me a 93 lift pump. $71 for the pump,, but I had a $10 off Facebook AutoZone coupon, and my 5 rewards had got me a $20 discount.
So for under $50 I got the new LP in,, pumping away,, and Hmmm No More Fish Bite. Went for a test drive,, and drove it harder then I have since I bought it. Even hit 3500 rpm's for the first time!!! ScanTech Basic and the laptop said,, 13psi boost. Max Fuel Rate of 68 @ WOT.
Also did the pins and bushings in the drivers door. It shut's like new again. :thumbsup:
Can't beat the feeling of a few jobs well done. :hihi:
