wow that's years old and I don't know what thread that was from. It worked fine and it's still working fine. It could just have been a piece of dust or something, if it doesn't do it again then smile and leave it be. You can also tap them to free them up if they stick.

I don't like to see long threads about repairs go un-resolved. I received my pump rebuilt again and everything was fine. Truck is running great, starting great, and is all nice and legal again. I have learned a lot about the db2 stanadyne injection pump. I have a perfect running 1028 at just...

Hi CUCVRUS, I already picked up a decent set of used lines. I think they will be fine. As promised here are comparison pics of the old lines v the new lines. I didn't know any better when installing them. They were pretty much as they appear now when I put them on. I am sure that my brute force...

Hey, I was out of town for a week and weather and stuff. I had the afternoon today and decent weather. The leaks are not from the lines. I inspected running and off. I also wrapped lines in paper towel to try to isolate a line. None of the lines are leaking. The pump is leaking between the...

Sorry, I have edited and didn't mean to offend. I am leaning towards pressure testing through the returns into the tank to better observe where the leak is from. I will call DCP prior to testing to validate that. If that test is valid and passes, then I am onto hunt for new fuel tubes. I was...

And I am back.... the leak continues.... Last episode I tightened one remaining line and the leaking stopped. I ran the truck for about an hour, no leaks. Ran it for a 1/2 hour later that night. No leaks. I replaced the intake and zipped everything up a couple days later when weather permitted...

it was one of the bottom lines, the one at the 6:30 position. I went through all of them again and that one still had some turn left. All checked out and leak free. Sorry for the panic attack !! Thanks!

Thanks. I am not giving up by any means but this thing has stretched my patience. I am "in there" as I have the intake removed, pump installed and running. I can see what's going on with a mirror. I have used a trouble light as well as using a high power flashlight. I am going to keep seeing...

Yeah, well I am back. I can't get this pump to stop leaking. It appears to be leaking from the 5/16 hard pipes. I put these buggers on as tight as I could on the bench. Now it's mounted and I am on there with crow's feet and all kinda swivel and stuff and a breaker bar. Every one of them suckers...

Okay folks.... Thanks again for everyone's help esp CUCVRus. The new pump arrived last Saturday and work/weather prevented work until today. The pump is in and it is running great. I haven't put the intake back yet as still checking for leaks and stuff. Diesel Performance treated me great...

...still waiting on the new pump...... /me checks calendar again

I think the 4544 is what supercedes most of the CUCV IP's. I think that's what they will build it to, but I will have a call with them in the new year to be sure. We were talking part numbers and the rep from DC was talking supercedes numbers also, so I am pretty sure it I had this...

Alright, well here we are today....... I have checked and verified proper operation of fast idle solenoid and cold idle timing. The system now holds prime and will start pretty fast next day. I had 32* temps and there was plenty of fuel and fire. The only problems I am having is that once it...

Wife command did not approve Christmas under the hood :) Just finally got her started without intake. The high idle is hunting between 875-925 or so but once the temp kicks up it smooth out perfect. I found a couple leaks at the IP and tightened them up. Will now test that it holds prime and...

Pump is timed, just needed leverage to turn it. Lift pump installed, 1 hose yet to replace underneath and put the alternator back on. Have batteries charging overnight and will start it tomorrow for Christmas! Hope I have been nice this year :)
