Man that would be great, thanks so much. I'll take it apart again and take pictures.

Heres some pics to make sure im looking at the right thing I pulled all the contacts and cleaned them. Are they in the wrong spot? I pulled that black hose at both ends, cleaned it out. I unscrewed where the hose goes to the top, cleaned it out, i did not see any ball? Is that even where it is...

Clean bowl and clear fuel, amber in color. Where do i find these picks of the return valve/wiring?

Thank you for your help, i forgot to say i did clean very well all three wire connections going to it. I took the whole unit off the top too.

truck shutting off after driving/ 2nd UPDATE last post Update last post. 2nd update last post It was not the return valve. After cleaning many times it kept doing it. It was not the fuel pump. After replacing fuel pump it kept shutting down. The factory fuel filter base may or may not...

Okay, engine shutting off on me problem not solved. I have used the search, i have looked at the civilian manual and the -20 is still down. Here are my questions; Does anyone have a picture of the return valve on top of the injection pump, and can you tell me how to get it off? I am going to...

Agreed, and no offense taken. I think we all have a valid point. I should be dong more reading for sure. I should also do allot of stuff more. But life just wont have it. lol. Work, kids, dogs, kids in sports, old house falling down around us, etc., etc., just not enough money or time to do...

Yes there are guys on here who just lay in wait to say ,"read the TM". Food for thought to those that do; 1. Read a guys entire post before jumping in with your "read the TM" 2. Sometimes, you need a quick answer rather than spend time going thru the TM. I.E. the truck is warming up and the...

Thanks everyone!

Noob question. Does it matter when I lock the front hubs? Are you supposed to lock them before or after You put the TC in 4H? Also, Ive been putting the TC in 4H when the main shifter is in Park but read another post during a search that people put it in 4H when in Neutral. Does that matter...

So when I first got this truck it didnt always start well. After rebuilding the starter a little better. Then the "Doghead" starter relay conversion, a little better still. Then new glow plugs (AC 40's) and runs like a champ. This week in North Texas ice storm every day since tuesday. Then...

BTW your starter relay mod. is awesome. Been starting well even on cold mornings. Changing the glow plugs next weekend and hopefully that will help too.
