Stuck the box in teh truck, and she fired right up! No magic smoke to report so i guess this was just another case of awesome QC. 25 bucks was alot better than 350 to get it back in the fight :)

It actually looks like maybe the box was opened up one other time before i got to it. The cork gasket had black goop on one side and clear goop on the other. There were arc marks inside the box, all around the "empty" relay. I was thinking maybe they diagnosed a bad box, replaced it and got the...

Alright folks, I've ran into a bit of a jam. I had a no start HMMWV, ordered one of those KDS green label boxes. Works great. Now my buddy has the same issue, so we decided to pull apart the box he took out of the no start truck and see if we couldn't fix it. The outside of the box has a...

drain back lines are the little rubber ones right? Those things are shot. Many of the micro clamps are long gone. Ive heard of a line kit that doesn't use those little spring clamps, but I'm not sure who makes it. Im having a hard time finding injector lines too! bah! lol. just my luck! I...

The entire injector was unscrewing from the head, not the body from the other half of itself. I did just what you said, got an adjustable wrench in there to hold the top half the body and loosened the fuel line. It was WAY over tightened. Im going to have to replace that injector line, in...

lol i read all the posts. this is just more me thinking out loud. RetiredWarHorses hit the nail on the head and the truck was starving out. Im a jackass for not verifying the fuel level in the tank. it was indeed sucking air and lost prime. With the lines blown out, the filter replaced, the tank...

I meant the return fitting on the top of the IP, in front of the shut off solenoid. Where do i go from here to figure out why it runs so rough and crappy? i guess i need to crack lines on at a time till i find the troublesome hole. Def sounds like the drivers side of the motor is running...

Flushed the tank, clean fuel. Blew out the lines. cracked a couple injector lines open got it to restart. The fuel pump output seems pretty good. When the lobe comes around there is a pretty healthy shot of fuel. It comes in spurts, not a steady stream. Idle is very rough. Some white smoke. Im...

Alright. Well we at least know the sender is 100% full of crap. Tank had about 5 gallons or so of Diesel Scented 10 weight sludge in it. My driveway was not amused, but it ought to keep the dust down :D There is a screen in the filler neck, so i couldn't drop my fuel thief down there and suck...

Can i drop a stick down the filler neck worse case for a fuel level check? I have zero faith in these military fuel senders.

I am following along! i just posted the reply before i got started for the day. Every time i look sideways at this thing i end up SOAKED in diesel.....then the wife won't let me near the house till I've cooked off outside for a couple hours. I just dropped the boy at school so now its time to...

Fuel gage says its full. The tank will be drained and cleaned today. Lawnmower filter is just to give you a visual idea of what I'm doing. Its a paper element 10 micron filter with a window. Only being used as a diagnostic tool. No fuel has ever made it past this filter into the pump. So if the...

Ok i think I'm onto something here. I took the stock fuel filter housing out of the loop, replaced it with one of those generic see through lawn mower fuel filters. If i connect the IP side fuel line, the filter will not fill up while cranking. When i take the IP side fuel line off there is an...

Is this the fuel return line i need to blow through and make sure its not blocked going back to the tank? Still trying to figure out where the return valve is I've heard can be trouble. {Learning Curve is Steep lol} Can the fuel pressure transducer, if bad, cause a no start?

double post. sorry.
