Well, seems the starter relay was still hooked up. I cut the purple wires from it and connected them directly together. Oddly enough the glow plug relay had gone at the same time. Switched that with the st-85 and I am running again. Thanks for all the advice. Strange how something can run...

Thanks. I have replaced all terminal connectors previously. Batteries were tested about three weeks ago. I'm going to dig around under the dash to make sure relay has in fact been removed. It seems like it is grounding out or something is stuck on pulling a large load. I say this because...

Okay, first things first. Truck's 12v...previous owner, either way, that's the way it is. Truck started right up. Glow plugs on for a two seconds, cranked, turned over, and fired. Drove a few miles, shut it down. Attempted to restart a few minutes later. All interior displays dimmed...

That's the one. Just get 2 feet of both 1/4 and 3/8 to be safe. Home Depot had all the brass fittings needed. The housing comes with plugs for the unused side but you need an obscenely large allen wrench to tighten them. I just bought 1/2 brass plugs at the HD as well. Make sure to get the...

They can also suck air without you knowing that there's a leak.

Changed it multiple times...I hooked up a clear hose to the return line on the IP and was getting a lot of air bubbles and had checked all lines for leakage. After changing the base to the spin on air bubbles are gone. Believe me, I looked into it and wasn't exactly thrilled about doing it...

Here are some pics. I did things a bit different than what I've seen posted. I got the six 4770 base as stated. After removing the stock base I measured out the three holes on it using one of the ones already present. I used three 3" 3/8 course thread bolts and 9 nuts. I drilled holes in...

It wasn't that much trouble installing into a manual tailgate at all...took about an hour. I put it in before running the power and just took the part that connects from the motor to the regulator and attached a power drill to it to run it up and down. Now I have a switch on the dash for the...

You don't like them continuously leaking no matter what you do?

Just thought I'd post some info on my efforts: Got the truck with plenty of problems and ran like crap. Meaning not just vibrating but a solid shudder to the engine. Being a newbie to the 6.2 was willing and have done everything. Started with new belts, aligned accessories, and harmonic...

DrBeeper, Could you post info on the part number for cold advance solenoid? Need to get a new one myself and am having difficulty finding the part. Thanks so much.

If there was no return there would be build up of pressure in the lines to the ip and the ip itself if not all the fuel pumped was delivered to the injectors for combustion. This way, the fuel sending unit, lift pump, and injection pump don't have to be perfectly calibrated with each other at...

I wanted to see if there was any difference with a cold air intake myself. So I bought a 3"-4" rubber plumbing boot, a 4" metal coupler", 8" semi-rigid ducting, and a 4" dryer hook-up adaptor. 3" side of the boot around the stock 6.2 air cleaner oval, ducting around the coupler than both into...

The scribe marks are those in red. Advance is turning the pump toward the driver side. Some things to consider: 1. You can believe in SeaFoam or any other additive but the only way to now is get a 30mm socket and pull those injectors. I did this to mine a can a tank didn't seem to be...

Can't say what's normal, but mine does too. I'm out of town this weekend but we should meet up and I can help you change the balancer as I've been through that one already and it's just labor intensive (fan, fan shroud, all belts, crank pulley, etc...). I pulled all my injectors and cleaned...

If it's diesel I would try tightening down that injector and fuel line and changing your return lines, but that seems to obvious to say I suppose. I'm suggesting it in the hopes that it isn't your head gasket! Good luck.

You know, I just want to believe deep down that there is something that doesn't need replaced on the truck like the IP. I know its a matter of time. No leaking or debris...but I guess that doesn't mean much? I played around with the timing today, but only achieved getting different amounts of...

Well, pulled injectors and cleaned them today. Replaced. Started, still rough. Disconnected alternators and power steering to make sure it wasn't a pulley alignment problem. Restarted, no dice, still shaking. Turns out the engine is shaking pretty good at idle only becomes very noticeable...

Nevermind? You're leaving me hanging here. Thanks Kevin. I will change it around and see what happens. The windows working out magnificently with in dash switch! They crushed that 87 Blazer before I could get back to it. It was funny, I went there and they told me it was out in the...

I guess I should clarify... I have replaced the transmission and motor mounts, properly tensioned my belts, installed a new lift pump, changed all filters (fuel/oil regularly, transmission pump filter), replaced fluids (differential, t-case, transmission, oil), installed a new flex plate...
