Multifuel Injector Pump Reccomendations

[COM54A2]

Can anyone recommend a decent company to rebuild a Injector pump off of a LDS465-1A engine? The local garage wanted $2,600.00. I thought this was a bit steep, seeing as that's more than half the value of the vehicle (M54A2). Am I just ignorant of the cost or is there a better option?

I would think inless you had some major failer inside the pump the Head is what seems to give the most problems. What on the inside of you pump do you feel failed.

Might be something in the classifieds here.....

I would check out some diesel repair shops. That price seems extremly high. I know where there is a crate LDS with 0 hours for 600 bucks less then that. And thats a complete drop in engine.

I am not mechanically inclined, so I am going off the advice of the mechanic who looked at it and a friend with a lot of diesel engine experience. The truck idles at about 1200 rpm. After eliminating air leaks from old fuel lines, the only other option seems to be the pump. Is a pump head something I can pull of and put on without special tools in the driveway?

Have you ever looked at the TM? You know the Idle can be adjusted right?

It will be nice when we get ours back up and running. Does Jotonka have the troubleshooting the 465 on his sight. Great sight to plug plug.

I will go out on a limb here you don't need the whole pump rebuilt.
Do you have the fuel curclation system up and correct? New filters and installed with all the correct hardware inside?
High Idle is your only concern?
Yes the head is very easy to replace if the head is bad.

Didn't see it, but I may have missed it

I'm with James on this one!! I recently tore apart an old IP just too see how it worked. It's actually a pretty simple device, not much to wear out or go bad.

Thanks Warthhog.
Go through this TM and read and reset the rpm for now. If the truck does not run well after then just go down the list in this TM staring from top to bottom might be the fastest way to find a problem than hunt and peck.

Also reread this Tm and make it your bible.

If that doesn't work, I may have a spare IP I would sell you for a LOT less than that.

Sorry for so many post's but Chris (gimpyrob ) has a good post with pics of the HH removel. Here may be your problem. If you fuel control shaft that enters the head is getting sticky it could not be competley returning to idle pisition. This can be checked real quick by just removing the shut dowm cover and work it by hand. You can do this while the motor is running or off .With the motor shut down it will go forward or 7 oclock pisition when you move it to the rear pisition by hand. With the motor running it will be the outher way it will want to go backwards to the idle/ shutdown pisition when you move it forward.

Thank you warthog for the manual and everyone for the info. It will take me a few days to check through the possibilities and get back on here. Thanks again.

Googling the pump "PSB-6A pump" and hitting shopping brings out about 5 pumps, with ranges from $600 for Gvt. rebuild, to $1200 NEW.
So $2200 is really interesting, pocket $1000 just for ordering one for someone?

I found a chunk of paint stuck in the check valve in the fuel supply pump yesterday, but I have not been able to verify correct engine timing yet. Is there an easy way to turn the engine over to find the timing marks in the advance unit housing, or am I looking at a pry bar in the drive lines between the transfer and transmission? Thanks again to all you guys for info and advice, as I am an amateur vehicle enthusiast and even a worse mechanic. I am learning though!

 

[Floridianson]

I find drive line transfer netural. trans 5th is easey and does no harm to soldier A or truck B. You will be able to control the spin better IMO.
