Well no luck. With the truck in the driveway I raised the rpm’s to 1800 and let it run versus taking to the streets. It ran beautifully for 4-5mins, then I watched the gauge on the secondaries start to bounce around and eventually went to 0psi. The trucks exhaust note changed as the fuel flow...
This evening I phoned a friend for a booster pump and picked it up by dinner. Spent the last 40mins swapping them out.
I also put a very small shim back in the relief valve, it is holding steady at 48-50psi at ldle, I’ll leave that be for now.
I’ll let it get up to temp to check for leaks but...
Here’s what I’ve found…
First, I removed the relief valve on the secondary filters, I shimmed it and able to get pressure up to 60 at idle. But it still lost pressure shortly after. I removed the shim because the valve seemed to be responding correctly.
Next, I changed my primary filter. It...
Are you thinking my lift pump may be the issue? Maybe it’s malfunctioning/dying? I know it’s the recommended replacement so I assume itcan handle the task, especially according to its specs.
Also, like mentioned above about my water/fuel seperator being restrictive, this also seems to be a...
Ok I visually seen a pressure drop on my “secondary fuel gauge”. It will intermittently jump from 30-40 at idle to 0 randomly. It’ll come back randomly then go away again and again. I think this might be my starvation issue.
Should I look at the over pressure valve or the booster pump first...
This might be a silly question, and no it’s not because I don’t remember, I just didn’t see it covered in the TM. Maybe because there’s only one way to install it, but, if not what is the proper orientation of the NOZZLE compared to the injector body?
I totally understand the injector itself...
Let me start by saying, I have NOT removed any of my injectors. So I don’t know if they’re one hole or two hole.
#3 and #4 injector LINES are pretty rough looking for some reason, when previously removed for a HH removal, the threads were pretty well shot on the injector side of those lines...
I may see if I can hunt down a higher flow water/fuel separator that’ll fit the filter head assembly I have. It’s a pretty standard thread size so hopefully won’t be to difficult
Ok here’s my setup…
Lift pump - Airtex E8131 (commonly used!replacement)
When I turn on the main power, my pump kicks on like normal, and fuel pressure from the lift pump climbs to 6-8psi.
Then, when I start the truck, the lift pump pressure drops to 0-2psi, all while the secondary is reading...
Yes AND no.
Yes if you want a nice ride with no issues from day one, are NOT the type of person to get your hands dirty, and have the cash up front.
No if youre the type of person who will fix it regardless, likes to tinker, wants a challenge, and wants to say; “I built that.”(no matter how it...
