New GP relay installed and working. Now, time will tell if this is the only Gremlin lurking...for now. The manifold and the injection pump are now the cleanest things under the hood! Notice the resistor wires hanging out behind the air cleaner. Someone, by-passed the resistors in the past. I...

Okay, everything checked out so far except the GP Relay. It appears it might be an intermittent old age problem. Old age....another issue entirely! All 8 glow plugs check out between 1 & 2 ohms, I have 12v power to the GP relay by-passing the resistor bank. However, I did finally catch the GP...

Hello all, it's been a while.....again. My IP pump came in after the rebuild and it's finally installed. So far my CUCV seems to be running great. It's not a project I'd prefer to repeat but I have an 82 quare body with the same motor. So, I'll be doing it again eventually. I installed the Tiny...

Interesting, now I have another issue creeping up. Intermittent starting.... When it starts, which so far has been almost every time I turn the key. It's starting just as quick as my 2011 daily driver. However, a couple times now it will crank and not start. I'm confident it's not a fuel issue...

Good morning, it's been a while and it's finally cooler here in AZ and with my outdoor projects thinning out, I finally pulled the IP out of my spare 6.2. The rebuilder I've selected from Ebay promptly called and notified me the IP pump already had the solid flex ring. That is a nice bonus! My...

More digging and more information. Check this out, acquired from: http://www.trucktrend.com/features/10-best-diesel-tech-articles-on-trucktrend "Retention of heat is a critical factor in fuel thinning after a high-ambient heat soak. As the hotter, thinner fuel passes through the pump, internal...

I adjusted the IP timing to roughly 6 degrees advanced, little to no smoke but a little engine clatter which went away when it was warm. Fair enough and to be expected with too much advance. It idled pretty darn smooth with good throttle response with no load. I brought it back to roughly 2 to 3...

Okay, I pulled the FM out and with better light the hole for the FM restriction switch does not go through into the fuel path at all. Perhaps, this is a later model after they realized that switch was a problem? Moving on with the fuel housing/filter change out as planned. I used a 6.5 diesel...

Thank you, I did reach out to those exact folks just the other day. First, I am double checking the fuel delivery and doing a complete filter housing assembly swap this morning. I'd not realized previously someone had unplugged the switch and plugged the small hole for the filter restriction...

Yeah, I'll keep calling around. There has to be someone willing to do it locally for a reasonable price. If not, I'll be putting it in the mail! Scooter...

Wow, my first local rebuild quote is $1000! Scooter...

Oh okay, I just found a local place here that says they do rebuilds. I'll be calling them on Monday to see what they charge. At least they are close by! Scooter... Sent from my LGMP260 using Tapatalk

Good to know, thank you. I have yet to find someone who does them locally. That gives me an idea of what it should/could cost. Was the $580 recent? Scooter...

That's what I'm afraid of, it's old but I knew that when I bought it. I'll provide cost details once the replacement of the IP begins. I'll likely wait until September or so before I get back to it. I've called a couple diesel shops so far and as expected, the knowledge to rebuild and calibrate...

Yes, hot air does come out of the vents. Another thing I'm going to check before it gets too hot is for air coming in from the fuel filter housing. It's not leaking but I know it can be a problem. Either way though, chunks of something in the IP are of concern. Scooter...

Not sure, it matched the old one and it's ran fine for months. I don't think there was anything wrong with the one I took out but changed it because everything is old. There is still pressure to the IP. I ran a camera into the fuel tank. The tank is clean like new and the filter sock looks to...

Lift pump has been replaced by me the last time this happened, no rebuild on IP that I am aware of. Scooter... Sent from my LGMP260 using Tapatalk

Will do, I've never seen anything come out of the dip stick tube but l've not looked too close for that either. The emissions testing is a requirement in AZ. I've argued this with the DMV here each year. It has the sticker on it that says it's exempt like all the others. They just want their...

I just took the cap off mine again to make sure the metering valve was free and found a chunk of black hard "rubber" debris sitting around the metering valve. There were two more small particles that looked like pepper which others have mentioned. So, it looks like an IP it is. I'll be waiting...
