UPDATE! After another reman injection pump, reman injectors, new glows, and an exhaust leak repair, she’s running great! Adjusted my vaccu for shift points which keeps it in lower gear longer so not falling on its face all the time. For a 6.2 she’s pretty peppy now! Thank you for all the help...

You know, now that I’m thinking about it…..I did 2 compression trsts, the first one was a fail b/c I didn’t disconnect the pink wire and the truck was spraying fuel and almost firing, which clogged up my gauge check valve so I had to fix and do a second one….. Anyway point is it was spraying...

God I hope so!

Yes that’s a better description. Sooty diesel. Not oil. Yes I did disable the pink wire. So maybe it was whatever fuel was in the line but just thought it was odd that only that back left hole was pushing it out. But cylinder tested perfect so I’m sure it’s fine. I just wanted to be sure I...

Update. Just finished compression test. Seems everything is good so I can rule out dead cylinder nothing below 400psi…..only question is, after testing all cylinders and cranking with all plugs out, the rearmost passenger glow plug hole had a decent amount of oil (or sludge) coming out of it...

I don’t believe it’s the timing chain because It idles well starts well and has no engine noise when running at high rpm. Today I’m gonna do a compression test before I order injectors, just to make sure the engine is mechanically sound. But inreally think it’s fuel delivery. And injectors is...

@cucvrus I ran off a jug and bypassed the tank, by passed fuel filter, tested lift pump, changed rubber lines with no change. How would I know if a return line is clogged. I have a clear line on the return of the IP and the fuel seems to flow through it into the return line smoothly

@Keith_J it was my first time looking inside an injection pump. But everything just felt loose, and not right. When touching the metering valve it did move, but kinda stayed where I put it. I was assuming it would kinda be like snappy as if it was spring loaded. Like when u move the throttle and...

Yea, really sucks. Was a ton of labor , and not comfortable labor lol. I used Pensacola fuel injection. I really hope so. I’m getting discouraged.

Update, opened top of pump. Metering valve isn’t snappy at all, stayed were it was put essentially. Everything felt very loose in there. Filled with diesel mechanic in a bottle and let sit over night. Started it and 2% better, still worse than before. Company sending me another pump, and I have...

I’m gonna order it from Home Depot actually. Will be here Tuesday

Thank you very much. I was just reading about sticking metering valves after you mentioned it and the symptoms are a match. What a shame I spend 500 on a rebuild and gotta do this. Ordering diesel mechanic in a bottle because no stores stock on the shelf near me

Also, just to say I have the clear line on the return. And I have solid fuel, no air at all. Could it still be a sticking metering valve. And also, when I take the governor cover off and drain it and fill it with mechanic in a bottle, which is the metering valve and is their a trick to Putting...

I’m using the tank again but verified that the tank wasn’t an issue. Plus. Never stalled once. As soon as I put the reman pump on it’s doing this . I read in another post it was a sticking metering valve. Sucks because I just ordered this pump and has 8/22 stamped into the side. What do the...

I’ve just adjusted the timing on the new injection pump to where it stumbles with the light load advance pushed in and now it seems to start with ease, idles good. But if Its idling, i push that pedal and let it go. It stalls. Every time. Same if I drive. I take off, let go of gas to hit brake...

Yes that’s were I set it initially when I installed the pump. And it runs like crap. Stalls if i goose the pedal. Hard starting. Running worse than the original pump lol

@cucvrus @Keith_J ok here’s an update guys. Don’t think it’s too good. So over the past week I swapped the IP. Finished this morn, cranked it over with loose lines on the injector till I got fuel, tightened the lines up. Timing mark a hair to the driver side. Started it up and held the RPMs up...

Injection pump ordered. Will update when new one is installed. My fingers are crossed

It does not stumble at idle with the pin free. I guess when the pin is sticking it’s causing my issue. I’ll try and look up replacing those pin seals but probably just gonna change the IP
