You might try running some sea foam fuel additive thru the fuel tank also. If an injector is not working properly you could have a cold cylinder too. You can do this while it's running.

I like it a lot! Thanks for all the specific info on your build!

I'm with doghead. Usually changing the rubber fuel hoses fixes a lot of fuel problems. There are different grades of fuel line too. Buy the best you can afford for a longer fix!!

I agree. Do not mix grease if you know what is in there!

Some quality grease is always better than no grease. I see way too much used farm machinery that has never been greased and it is a chore to clean it out so it will take grease. Grease seals out water and dust as well as lubricate. Grease is cheap imho.

Have you tried Hillbilly Wizard?

Previous owner probably finished off the old starter if it started hard needing glow plugs. Starter needs a full reman and it will probably start again like it should!!

None of my civi chevys had the pinion snubber, but they all had the braces. The 400 turbos and the 4 speeds both had them.

It is not a good idea to use ether in any engine with glow plugs if any of them still work!! The higher compression engine you have the more likely it is to bend a rod or blow the head gaskets with ether!! That's just the way it works!

DO NOT depend on the o rings on the caps to last very long if stored outside. Water will get in your fuel! 55 gallon barrels need to be under cover. The rim on the barrel will hold the water until it seeps into your fuel.

Welcome!! This is the place to be!!

SS is worth more than 2 bucks!!!!!:p:p

I would suspect one of the tie rods has moved in one of the reused centering sleeves if everything else has checked out. Is the toe in still the same?

From the CUCV WIKI FAQ: GM 15591718 NAPA AR135 Carquest RY117 Autozone AC40 Has extra pin but works and are made in USA still.

Where from and to??

Welcome from Western OK!!

Spicer hardened non greasable installed correctly will out last the greasable type!!

Wasn't the CP4 pump "supposed" to be made to run on ULS diesel?

Another pretty good indication you better be running one of the better diesel additives if you want your pump and injectors to survive in EVERY diesel you run!

Just be sure to spray your favorite spray lube (penetrating oil) into the crack where the pump and can seal a few times and let it soak. Comes apart a lot easier and is easier on the can.
