No I didn't change the lift pump,the one I have checked at 10psi,it started after I tightened up the supply line on the top of the fuel tank.

I was able to drop the tank half way down on a tranny Jack and tighten the fitting sorry no pics,had to do it all by feel.

Ya it's great to finally hear it run.

I can take pics what kind do you want?

My new lift pump is not installed yet. Got home it took a few tries lots of white smoke then black smoke and it fired up. Runs good. Thanks for all the help everyone.

I have a new one sitting hear.

Ok so tonight I dropped the fuel tank the supply line on top of the tank was only in about two or three turns. I believe this is were the air was coming from it is late didn't want to wake the kids. I will attempt to start it tomorrow afternoon.

Well when I took the suction line off at the lift pump I only got a few drops of fuel out of it. I still need to drop the tank to see what's going on up there.

Ok today had time to do some trouble shooting. Plugged off sensor on top of fuel filter housing no change. Replaced all rubber hose with new no change. Checked fuel pressure 10psi with gauge. Bypassed fuel filter housing no change. Pressurized fuel tank with a shop vac,found a good leak on top...

From what I read the pump just spins 360 with the cam. If you turn the pump end with the dowl pin 180° it would not line up with the cam gear. That's what I read on the Diesel place fourm.

Everything I've be reading says you can't have it 180° out it's not possible only possible if you have removed timing chain and gear. There is only one way for the pump to go on with only one dowel pin hole.

Guyfang, did you have alot of air bubbles?

Not sure on the timing of the pump,I did line up the timing mark on the outside of pump housing to the mark on the engine block.

I didn't mess with the timing chain or gear,just pulled old pump out noted the position of the dowel pin,pulled new pump out and it was in the same position. I slid it back in and bolted it back up.

Truck wasn't running,no fuel to injection lines,put a new pump that had the 12 volt coils on it,I used the old 24 v coils,and I put the new return valve on the old top.

Tank is full.

Ok I'll get some clear fuel line too.

1 patriot-of-many that's what iam thinking getting lots of air bubbles out of fuel filter bleeder. I'll get a plug and plug that sensor off.

KRed good read,thanks
