I didn’t notice any fuel in the vent line on top of the fuel pump. I would see it there if it has went thru the vent system? I need to service my hubs anyways but I was hoping to do same time as new tires.
I’m parked on angle and I will have to get it on flat ground to check it. Oil doesn’t feel bad or smell like fuel. I think I caught it shortly after it failed. My m1165 had same issue and it was noticeable. I will change it this week.
My thinking is when fuel pump failed it got fuel in the oil. When I tilted the pump fuel came out of the arm side. I think I was supposed to change it at 500 miles for new engine? I never seen clean oil come from a diesel either.
Today I installed a new fuel pump. Old pump looked like it was leaking from where they crimp the bottom onto the body. Never seen that before.
Installed my fording cup that I had for 9 months while I was under there.
changed my fuel filter/separator and it looked really good for 20 years old...
It doesn’t really matter what year it is. Some insurance companies require vehicle to be 20 years old or older. I have a M1165 that has a serial number 225xxx and I chose 2002 for that reason.
My M1123 has a serial number 201xxx and it’s a 2002. They made changes and that was the over under on the vehicles serial numbers. I think above 196,000 is the A2 version but I’m not an expert. Mac has a very limited search but they have stuff for all models. Craig is really helpful when I can’t...
