    CUCV early Glow Plug burn out - What is the cause?

    Well, guess I missed/forgot about that one [thumbzup] All the hoses are fairly new. But maybe it got kinked somehow or something, i don't know. The hose on the IP looks fine, I may replace all of them though. I've never had a fuel return line have a blockage, even more so when it is mostly all...

    CUCV early Glow Plug burn out - What is the cause?

    Ok, after a lot of headaches and further... "diagnoses"... I have come to the conclusion that I must be a dumb🫏 anyway, I have went through 3 new lift pumps 1st: installed the new Delphi... didn't work, figured pump was bad out of box. 😠 2nd: Installed, worked, truck ran, but a 90 degree...

    CUCV early Glow Plug burn out - What is the cause?

    The old one and the Delphi both have straight arms, as shown in pics. The Carter has a "indented" or bent arm

    CUCV early Glow Plug burn out - What is the cause?

    Can you tell me which arm is right WWRD99 ? * I'm attaching the pump thats been on the truck since 2017 ** Then the one I installed on the truck in recent weeks that didn't work. ***Then the Carter one that I ordered from the link you dropped - it has the indented arm.

    CUCV early Glow Plug burn out - What is the cause?

    well, i got the part # earlier in this post somewhere I think, because I knew there was 2 that were similar. And the pump I installed looked just like the pump I took out of the truck.

    CUCV early Glow Plug burn out - What is the cause?

    Ordered 3 of them just to keep a couple on hand, and because the shipping was the same for 1 or multiple.

    CUCV early Glow Plug burn out - What is the cause?

    Is Carter a good brand? You think the diaphragm and such are still good on NOS? I bought a NOS fuel return hose kit, and they didn't last a year. Had to replace with new Viton hose. The previous pump that was on the truck, which I installed around 2010, was a AC Delco. This one that was bad out...

    CUCV early Glow Plug burn out - What is the cause?

    Well, apparently this lift pump is bad. Before I began digging further into the fuel system, I thought I would connect a hose to the hard line going to the lift pump, and drop the other end in a diesel can. Cranked truck with pink wire off fuel injection pump, fuel only lifted a couple feet from...

    CUCV early Glow Plug burn out - What is the cause?

    I pulled from the top right line on the fuel filter, which is the line that goes to the lift pump. Is that what you're talking about? I also tried to pull from the vent port i guess you'd call it, where normally you can open to release air until fuel begins flowing. Which that port is on the...

    CUCV early Glow Plug burn out - What is the cause?

    I forgot to say that I did try to pull a vacuum off the drain hose, with the drain/vent cap open of course. Didn't get anything there either. Tomorrow I'll unscrew the plug on top and try to pull from there. And yeah, I know it takes some cranking, I've done it a number of times before through...

    CUCV early Glow Plug burn out - What is the cause?

    Hey all, been a few months. been dealing with health issues and etc. anyway, worked on this fuel system again today. I got the pump on last week after 3 previous days wasted on it. But screwed up the first new hardline I bought. So bought another piece of 3/8" brake line and tried again. Had...

    CUCV early Glow Plug burn out - What is the cause?

    Thanks so much for the tips, now that you brought that up I think that I may have done that originally with the line. Also the rod didn't fall out this time, I even felt in there a bit and didn't feel anything. But I thought it was just my memory crossing over to something else I had worked on...

    CUCV early Glow Plug burn out - What is the cause?

    Thanks for the tips and for the nut size. I should have known it would have been in there too. I think I'm going to have to replace the steel line, I may have damaged/cracked it the other day. Just going to go ahead and replace it now, as I don't want to have to do this again.

    CUCV early Glow Plug burn out - What is the cause?

    Hi TechnoWeenie, appreciate the post. I just recently realized that my batteries could be a bit weak. I do have an "emergency" button override already installed in my GP system, but I only intended to use it if the card failed or etc. I also installed a new GP card in the year or so after I...

    CUCV Mechanical pump not pumping fuel

    I had read something about two pump numbers, but didn't know the difference in the pump. I just ordered the Delphi from Amazon. As to rock auto... I had ordered from them for I don't know how many years. But back several months ago, I ordered a full set of rotors, calibers, pads, etc for my...
