what would be real interesting would be your dyno a stock fuel system with the FDC hooked up and the LDS checked for egt's versus an ldt.

Talking about RPM the first LDS that had a governed speed of 2800 RPM then the other models they dropped into 2600 rpm @ rated horsepower. No matter what, you want more horsepower build a hotter fire but have to deal with the heat The design of the multi-fuel engine we're working with is poor...

Sounds like a good plan. Sounds like you got the pyro covered the only thing I would add was get a new oil feed line to replace the old one when you exchange IP's

Well a lot of people are happy with an FDC bypass and a good tune a pyro on an ldt they're happy with the way they run. You can turn the fuel up on an LDT and it will outrun a stock LDS pump but the problem will be the heat. Also it seems like a lot of people don't even want to spin it up to...

I think that 200 horsepower is a little unrealistic from just a rocker arm change. One of the reasons the LDS had to be spun at 2900 RPM to produce the higher HP.

Possible you've got the fuel control unit assembly installed incorrectly or the timing shutdown rod cover?

Yep SOP brush your teeth comb your hair and bypass the FDC.

Myself when checking glow plugs it's easier to leave them in. I disconnect the wire take a test light and hook the alligator clip to positive on the battery or any positive source and then with a point touch the end of the tip of the go plug and the light lights up the glow plugs good.

Myself whenever working on a truck that sat a while or that I don't know I use a flat blade screwdriver and remove the timing shutdown rod cover and check the fuel control unit assembly is working free.

If you have the stock vents that came on the truck then yes it should have had a slight positive pressure buildup. Inside the vent is a spring and a small piece of rubber. They were designed like that to keep a small positive pressure inside the housing so when they forded the truck it would...

Yep! 👍👍

Got confused this thread was about bypassing the FDC and the hose and fittings required. Trying to think of what lines you're wanting to replace and if they're not leaking why replace them.

Don't know if you're still interested in doing it but I googled small servos and found a 24 volt one with a built-in mounting flange. Problem is most of them are not waterproof. If I was going to do it I would do the solid cable push lock type.

Instead of a long post it'll be easier if you went to Jeepsinker YouTube call tactical repair and watch it a couple times. And there's plenty other YouTube videos on bypassing the FDC and adjusting the fuel rate afterwards.

Sorry I changed it yeah you caught me I said primary when I should have said final fuel filter. Whenever I use my phone and use the talk and text I usually mess up that and I don't prove read.
