Thanks, this website is such a resource. The exhaust blows back because someone had put on a 18" muffler on a 45 deg. angle back so the fumes go up and then the fan air blows it down depending on the wind. I suppose I'll take it off, the natural downward output makes sense that the shutter vent...

The broken piece in the IP was totally the problem, I fired it up this morning and it SCREEMS! When I was calibrating the IP timing I looked into the crank case (thru the pump opening) an noticed that when the pointer is on PC only the #1 piston is up every time. So it seems that PC only...

Thanks for the timing info, I was just about to put the original pump back in. Is that the only way to know if its #1? I was able to weld the 2 pieces back together. I think the replacement IP was sitting on a shelf for who knows how long so it probably jammed up to and I snapped the same metal...

Well I've got it figured out. I'm more screwed than I thought. I took apart the original IP down to the plunger (past the spring). The guts don't look like the TM at all, I have a plunger shaft that is 3 sided square and under the face gear is a flat cross looking piece of metal that engages the...

The return is putting fuel back into the tank but the IP won't send it to the injectors. It would sound right what you said about the internal rotation not lining up with the injector ports. I did time the pump to the engin, even if that was wrong shouldn't you still get fuel out of the ports...

The previous owner said it ran great 4 yrs ago before it sat. I was told all it needed was a new delievery valve spring and it would pur. Not quite now.

thank you:-D

Wasn't there a debate if the nut was 6 sided or 8 sided? I would imagine that over the years they would also stay the same right?

Its a bad temp sensor! I had the very same problem, the gauge would never get above 165 no mater what the outside temp. Whole thing was driving me nuts. I replace the thermostat, topped off the coolant, and bled out all the air and still no change. I got a lazer temp. gun, ran the crap out of...

Am I following this correctly, Jesusgatos has a perfectly strong LDT and wants to swap it out for an LDS? Am I missing some critical piece of knowledge? I have a LDT, D trubo and it seems ok in my deuce.:confused:

I may have figured out the problem. One of the petcock valves is threaded into the very top of the t-stat housing, which looks to me like the heater will get no fluid until the t-stat opens. This would make sense why there is no flow from this hose. The TM's show the petcock threaded into the...

So I called Gay's tires today and they or anyone else on the planet have Michelin X (or XL) tires in 11.00-20. I know the side walls in this tire are prone to cracking so it looks like I am forced to buy 2 nos NDT's for the front just to get by for now. Does anyone know if there is anything...

I just looked at Gay's Tires web site and almost jumped out of my chair! It looks like he has a huge selection of just what I'm looking for. Thanks a lot guys!:-D

I switched the 2 hoses around on the heater core but I don't think it matters, the fluid should circulate either way thru it. I noticed the hose that goes to the thermostat housing from the heater core is completely empty. This is the highest point in the system. Like you said Westech, I'll try...

Ok heres the story, my heater had no heat while engine up to temp. Then engine is not over heating. I disconnected the two hoses from the heater core and blasted the core out with a garden hose to clean it. Then I tried to bleed the air out of the heater core and got some, then some fluid but...

I'm thinking my m35 water pump is shot, thermostat is good. disconnected heater hoses, run, no gushing coolant. Any comments, (and yes the 2 heater valves are open.)

speaking of tires, does anyone know or have Michilin X 11.00 - 20's? I have 2 fronts with wicked side wall cracking, I can use my spare for one but need to buy one more?

i tried to post a detailed thread on this yestday and it wouldnt work. site said "token expired" what is that all about? I read the existing threads on coolant but it wouldnt let me start a new question on this topic:confused:

not up to temp. no circ. thru heater core. bled out air. opened 2 valves. whats up, future- check thermos.

Sorry to be slow to respond, I'm still trying to figure this site out. I would not be using the truck for any work, just personal use. Thanks for all your help!
