It reads as if your transfer case might be the unit slipping out of gear and not your transmission. They braking hard in 4x4 hi and 4x4 lo and see if the dame thing happens as what you described in 2wd hi. Hopefully it is just the transfer case linkage that needs adjustment and not the...

Yes, you will be fine. Just make sure it is only oil and not oil/fuel in the crank case. Plus, let it run long enough to get all the way up to temperature.

I think this is a new one. Does your valve cover seep oil that might have flashed when the exposed wire got hot? The advice given above is the best way to diagnose and fix it.

I just capped mine off with the cap Big Mikes included with the kit.

Check the intake manifold end of the ground wire for the alternator. I have had a few of mine get corrosion there and weird things happen.

The fast idle solenoid is not powerful enough to move the throttle lever on its own. Any time the key is on and the coolant temperature is below 94° the green wire to the fast idle solenoid should have 12 volts. If you don’t touch the throttle after turning on the ignition the fast idle solenoid...

If you had to bash out the internals of the return line check valve. Your injection pump is coming apart inside and needs to be rebuilt. Getting that done will probably fix your problem. Another thought I has was your fast idle solenoid. Do you push the throttle about half way down after...

I didn’t open LMC to follow up each part number. However, the name of the parts look like you are on the right track. I would also suggest new biodiesel grade hoses at the fuel tank to solid line connections. Follow the metal line all the way from the tank to the fuel pump and replace any other...

Have you checked the ground from the batteries at the frame connection? Same with the ground strap from the starter if it has one and the ground strap from the engine to the frame.

Thanks for posting the end result.

The Ford 6.9/7.3 DB2 pump has people adjusting it all the time. Besides spinning the other way, what is different about adjusting it?

That is a good idea.

Here is a video showing the 2 different ways to get at the adjustment screw:

You want to tighten the screw to reduce the fuel rate. Is it a 6.2 pump or a 6.5 pump? 829 is a 6.2 pump and 831 on the data plate is a 6.5 pump.

I am interested as well. I have a set of the 27450C lights and love them. I didn’t know they were discontinued.
