I know yall are probably tired of reading thread after thread about IPs...But I need some second opinions about my scenario. My 1009 electrical system is stock except that I have a push button plug heater. Since I bought the truck it has had some starting issues. So far I have replaced the glow plugs with Delco 60gs, Put a new GP relay on, done the doghead starter mod, put a spin on fuel filter in place of the stock box, and have en electric fuel pump. Before I did the spin on fuel filter mod, The truck was B*$@H to start, no matter what temperature. Now that I did the filter mod, It starts every time, BUT only on the second attempt. This is a hugeimprovement over what it was! Now, No matter if I heat the plugs or not, the truck will start on the second attempt, everytime. It was 37 degrees this morning and I didnt heat the plugs when I went to start it, just to test it out. Sure enough, it fired on the second turn. I crank on it about 4 to 5 seconds and let off, and as soon as I tap the key the second time, it fires right up.
My question is this- Is it time to replace the IP? It's not wet anywhere on the pump, but Im ASSUMING that it's just wore out...? Maybe I am expecting to much out of my truck, but I'm thinking that with those parts and mods I have done, it SHOULD fire up right away. I dont know...maybe I am crazy. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
