Block heater......did it come with this?????

THANK YOU for the follow up!!! It's helpful when we see the problem fixed. If you are new to diesels you are going to have an interesting first winter where you are. A J

THANKS for the follow up, wished everyone would do this!! THANKS again.

Got up on the wrong side of the country???

PS... put your clear line on the output side of the mech. pump and see what you get right out of the pump...... that should answer the pump question once and for all.....

You may have the answer in front of you, read between the lines...............When you replaced the suction line between the pump and tank the problem disappeared????????? Between the pump and filter is under pressure, fuel out no air in??????? If the hose between the tank and pump is clear and...

Pull the vent line (small line on the top of the pump) off the pump then crank it and watch for fuel from the top the pump or out of the vent line if you pulled it at the t on the frame rail. Should not be any fuel! No fuel, eliminates the pump. Cheap and easy, 3/8 inch line from the pump inlet...

The oil is black becauses of soot, common with diesel engines. My two cents is use Shell Rotella 15/40 with the Wix 51060 or NAPA 1060 (same filter) . You should see what the stuff looks like at 20000 or 25000 miles, and the oil analysis says its still good! Your pressure numbers look good. If...

Can not tell from your write up if you have already pulled the a arm bolts, if not once the nuts are loose it helps to spin the bolt back and forth with an impact wrench for a few seconds to loosen it up, they come out much easier. You will need the snap ring pliers to remove one of the rollers...

Put a fuel line out of the filter into a clear container , submerge the end in the fuel while cranking and see if you are getting bubbles in the fuel, indicates you are sucking air into the line. If not, my guess its pump rebuild time or at least have it on a test stand to eliminate it from the...

Action covered the ones at the tank. They are a couple inches long in the fuel line. My trucks also have one just before the fuel filter also. Greater authority than me says they can be tossed. Now is a good time to replace all the fuel lines. They are under suction between the tank and the...

Remove and clean or discard the check valves in the fuel line also.

If you have the panel in the floor to get to the fuel sender you might want to have a look in the tank also. ( By the way there is one bolt on the front of the fuel filter to take off, getting it back on is not so easy. I turned mine around and tacked the bolt to the bracket.) Your description...

I believe you need to 'remove' the filter housing and clean and replace the filter...... remove two hoses, 2 bolts to the fire wall, three bolts on the top, see whats inside. My two cents. When cranking you should get a decent spurt of fuel up from the pump as the engine turns over. Just my two...

Do not trust the gauge. Open it up and have a look see. Same for the fuel filter. A small amount of fuel out the hose when cranking does not mean the filter is good. If you have not changed/remover the filter now is the time to do so. Eliminate the choke points one at a time. I think you may be...

Want to make life simple??? Get in touch with Retired WarHorses on this site. See if Steve can set you up with something. IMO. A J

In the late 70's I learned to epoxy the inside of the weld. They would always leak, whether my welding or the "pro welder" . And NO they were not DOT certified. MY BAD.

Good enuff.......... rims can be widened ......... the world is full of fake nuts, a few more will not hurt a thing!

Why not cut the rim off the donor, cut the face of the HMMWV wheel to fit the inside of the donor???? Have it welded professionally (from the looks of your toys this might be right down your alley) Inspect often! Just sayin....

If I might ask"where are they shipping from"? Inquiring minds want to know!
