If only we had that option up here in the Northeast. Anything in yards up here has far more cancer than what I am repairing. Know any yards in your area that would ship cross country?

This! The pressure sensor is only one (the most common) point of failure on these filter bases. There are a couple of other parts that rely on small o-rings to seal. If they are not sealing perfectly you could still lose prime. Sounds like your situation improved when you blocked off the...

Just a suggestion. You do not need to pull the engine to inspect the bottom end. You can pull the oil pan which will alloy you to inspect the bearings, crank, webbing etc. It is a little cramped, especially up front but very doable and will give you a much better understanding of this engine.

Thanks Rick, That is what I was expecting to hear. Does anyone know of sources for good replacement steel? Any of us in this hobby will likely require some parts at some time or another, especially those of us who live in the rust belt where they are putting down more and more corrosive...

Excellent point. To help prevent this, you may want to consider performing the firewall resistor bypass and feed the glow plugs 12v.

What I started from:

Thanks, that is exactly what I ended up doing. And the final product:

Not an endorsement as I have never worked with them, but others here have: http://leroydiesel.com/

I'm certain folks like Warthog and Antennaclimber will have much sounder council. But based on your pic and symptoms the first thing I would check is whether or not you have an isolated relay. The system works by grounding the relay coil when energized. It sounds like the coil has power...

OK, so strong disclaimer. This is my experience with one and only one sample. This may or may not represent what you will experience. I and others have purchased many other items from LMC with satisfaction. Moderators: If this does not belong in this forum please feel free to move it. I...

Assuming from your post that this truck has value, utility and meaning to you that warrants an investment. A few things that will help us if you don't mind: Sounds like you have the necessary equipment and means to swap an engine yourself. Please confirm if not. What is your budget? I...

In addition to everything mentioned above, if there is a lot of rust you should thoroughly inspect the frame and suspension for weak or broken areas and get them addressed. Cab mounts are another area that can ruin your day fast if they are weak or broken. And make certain you won't be leaving...

Looks sweet. Nice work that. Is this the LMC "Molded Industrial Polyvinyl" mat? Which dash pad did you use? I am in need of one. Many thanks.

This? http://learchem.com/products/acf-50.html Thanks ...

Do tell what that material is please. Thanks.

Glad to hear she is working again. However, if this is the original IP, you should seriously consider getting a rebuilt unit. There are a number of known issues that Stanadyne addressed over the years including hardening of internal parts to deal with the lower lubricity low sulfur fuels to...

I've been daily driving my M1008 for 5 years. Yes, the Detroit Locker has it's quirks but I do not find it brutal. Just my perspective. I can't remember where I saw this, but some are questioning the use of a full time locker in the rear with open or selective in the front. Instead they are...

Start simple and one axle at a time (front vs rear). While the symptoms appear similar the root cause may be different. First, is the alignment shop equipment properly calibrated? Did the person doing the alignment know what they were doing? Yes, I have seen this. A quick check with a...
