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.

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.

Floridianson

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.
