    Bad Fuel Pump?

    Conventional civilian alternator bracket for the 8.3L. This is about a $100 from any Cummins dealer. Can occasionally be found for less on eBay.

    Bad Fuel Pump?

    Make sure it is not just water vapor boiling out. I'd do a compression or leak-down test on all 6 cylinders before you rip the engine apart. The compression testing tool is only like $20 to buy, it is a hollowed out injector body with a quick connect on the end. I have a new one I would loan...

    Anything can happen. Could very well be an injector as mentioned. There have only been a couple of pump failures here, but they typically result in a no start. You can have a shop verify the pump flow across all 6 cylinders for like $200, includes setting the injection timing to any new spec...
