I will check it tonight, but if it is a new filter, and it ran fine before, it *shouldn't* be an issue, but i get what you mean - need to check to make sure that filter isn't an issue to fully narrow it down to being a bad IP
My apologies - mine does not have a bleed screw since it is the CAT one - just the drain plug on the bottom to drain out water. I should unhook the outlet side of the filter and see how much fuel is coming out
Just tried that and there were no black pebbles or anything. Pulled the inlet line from the fuel pump and stuck a hose on it and put the other end in a diesel tank and still only cranked but wouldn’t fire. Gave it a little ether and it tried to fire but no dice. Cracked injector line and it took...
Did you by chance crack injector lines and see fuel getting there but not really spraying out under pressure like it should be? (at least i thought it should be)
I guess I am not sure if it is the right one, but it is the same one that has always been on it and never had any issues - previous owner installed it
Truck should be warmed up just fine as it sits in my garage and it's easily 80 degrees out there
You think i should drop the tank and check the...
Hey everyone, need some help diagnosing a fuel problem i am having with my 1986 M1028
I have wheeled this truck for a few years now, recently it started dying when i would let off the throttle. Changed the fuel filter and fuel pump, but now i cant get it to even fire. I back pressured the fuel...
More so the tire had some rust dust on the bead that i was able to take off with the wire wheel, and then the bead on the rim was just a little gunked up with some rust, but was easily able to take it off with the wire wheel. I read about the bead sealing compound, wonder if i need to get some...
Hey guys - anybody have any tips or tricks to get the 12-bolt HMMWV wheels to seal up completely? I have the newer style 12 bolts with the centering hole and am replacing the worn out 37" BFGoodrich Baja T/A's with a new set. Never had any slow leaks on them before, but now I can't get the new...
CUCVRUS - you were definitely on the right track pointing me to the area to inspect - the wires had worn away closer to the tail light though - looks like they were both rubbing on the edge of the metal where they go up through the hole into the taillight receptacle. about 5 inches of the...
Well guys, i figured out my issue and got it all fixed. My theory was partially correct. I'll explain for anyone that may encounter this issue in the future since it took me a while to understand how this issue was occurring, but now that i understand it, it makes the wiring diagrams and the...
CUCVRUS - I don't think it was originally. Actually i know it wasn't. After the courtesy lamp fuse broke, i replaced it with a 20A and it blew again. Then i went to a 25A fuse, same issue. Then i went to a 30A fuse, and the 30A headlight fuse blew instead (i know this isn't smart practice, but i...
Shouldn't really have had any ice build up as i keep the truck in the garage. I checked all the other lights and they all work. The flashers and turn signals all work. May be of interest, but the rear drivers flasher and turn signal was not working when i dove into this issue, so i tackled that...
Hey guys - i'm having an electrical issue that i need help on. My courtesy lamp/tail light fuse keeps blowing whenever i turn on my headlights. This is weird because i cannot pinpoint any reason or event as to why it would have happened. Was all working fine until the weather got cold so maybe...
