:funny: I love doing that too!

I think it would just tear the eye bolts out since there is no support inside. I saw on here i idea that would work great, He used 4 pieces of 2x4 into the ground with another 2x4 on top so that they are parell and high and wide enough to pull the vehicle under and lift the back up and put a 2x4...

Auto meter makes a low rev diesel tach, but its $130 and it looks nice when installed right and is very accurete. It also dosent take up much room the diameter is less them 3 inches.

If you read the Wikipedia Article it also says that in the 80's they were trying to get better gas mileage then power as that was the time of the oil crisis, the 6.2l got better miage then the 4.3l GM V6. Below is quote from the article "The original 6.2 L (379 cu in) Diesel V8 was introduced...

I installed the mechanical one of that and i loved it. tap into where the valve is on one of the oil coiling lines that's what i did and the idiot light still works and i DIDN'T NEED TO BUY ANY PARTS

Looks really good!! I like the paint color.

I have 1 problem with this build............................................ITS NOT MY VEHICLE:driver: i love this build i like the gauges

It is better to push, the reason they moved the fuel pump back by the tank is so on a hot day you don't get air bubbles in your fuel after you park. I don't know if this is true on a diesel but on a old gas engine with a mechanical fuel pump this was a problem.

Are you sure your fuel pump is turning on? The fuel pump would push fuel back up to the injection pump. It sounds like you are having the same problem i did, until i added a electric fuel pump, then it stopped. Because by turning the pump on before starting it would push fuel up to the injection...

Go to the parts store and get the actual one, i got mine at Orielly but car crap also has it

No it should not, the rubber is there only to reduce vibrations, to protect the relay. no need to ground it

I would look between the fuel pump and the injection pump for leaks. Also did you clean the return line valve on the injection pump?

Oh ok never mind i thought you were having trouble starting it with the air leak.

Do you have a electric pump or is that a typo? If there is air in the system the electric fuel pump would push fuel back to the injection pump

x2 on that!!! I use WIX!!!!!
