You’re questioning a 2015 post from someone who has not been seen on StSo for a year.

Sloshing fuel is a very bad thing at low tank. Air in fuel can cause stalled engine at speed. I would absolutely repair.

Agreed

Work smarter, not harder.

Red trucks are faster, more fuel efficient, more reliable, quieter, smoother driving, and have better torque. Ask me how I know.

Elegant in its simplicity. Well done!

I own the complete 24 V military impact repair toolset. I have a small flux core 110/220 welder with inverter. I have assorted screw drivers and pliers and ratchets. I have a spare tire with RicoRhino. I have 10 gallons water Gerrycans and 20 gallons Diesel Gerrycans. IPhone with emergency GPS...

Honestly, I would eliminate the ram air. This isn’t a 455 HO TA.

DIY. Members here weld them up all the time. If it wasn’t raining today, I would be welding up my new brush guard.

Bad idea. Just spend 2k for an M1101 or M1102. I don’t support your idea. This is NOT an old beat up Chevy/Ford/Dodge truck. It just doesn’t lend itself to this idea.

Goes up and down. Seriously. Same with FMTV and even storage containers

Air in line? Cracking an injector and try to start.

IMHO, just get 1/8” soft aluminum sheet and make the feet. Simple cheap and effective. No one will notice or care.

I might have auto jacks and jack stands hand to hold body up to allow slipping the new bushings into place. I might loosen several at a time to allow body to pull away from frame to allow access. Should be straightforward if my prior experiences are any indication.

I posted about a similar problem. Disconnect your exhaust and see if the problem goes away. If that’s the case, then your catalytic converter is clogged. These vehicles have huge problems with the catalytic converters like a clogged during prolonged idle. The military likes to idle their trucks...

Just purchase new. I went through this and ultimately decided on a new unit. I am much happier with my decision because I never need to look back and say “what if”. The price of rebuilt is not attractive enough to make any other decision in my mind. Replacing an injection pump in these vehicles...

Welcome back to posting NormB

Plenty of posts on opening IP and turning 1/6 turn and advancing IP. Assuming you don’t want to pull your IP to adjust… there is a skill to finding the ball tipped Alan key area to turn

When facing this issue, I went with a new pump as per RWH advice. Rebuilt only seems cheaper till there are issues. I feel your pain. We all do.

Thanks BullDogger: My signature line contains the link to PCB and such. I encourage members to DIY. If they PM me I can also help them obtain an affordable option.
