fuel pump question

[jamesonsdad]

good morning MV'rs i am changing my mechanical fuel pump today and being my first diesel i'm wondering when i replace the failing one is there anything else i need to due?i.e bleed injectors or anything kike that or can i start it up and go?? as always thanks to all who respond

you need to bleed the fuel lines.. Get the TM and it will tell you how to do so step by step. If you just try starting it you might get air in the system and that wont harm anything, it just makes it that much harder to start and bleed out.

thanx westech for the response so just bleed it trough the filter housing after changing the pump?? my comp. is not letting me download the tms for some **** reason

yup just bleed it at the filter.... Just like if you change the fuel filter (might not be a bad ideal to change the filter.. lots of crud can get in the lines and bits from the new pump)

you can get the manuals at www.jatonkasm35s.com . The TMs on this site are offline for now.
