    Finally a solution: The problem ended up being the HEUI pump. The pump nut backed off the beveled sprocket and was free spinning. We cleaned, lock tite and torqued to 75 LBS. Truck fired up and we are a few hundred miles down the road cruising at an average speed of 68.

    Ok. CAT computer on. 3lbs fuel pressure 220 lbs oil pressure. (Needs over 800 to start) Looks like Heui pump gear has failed. Anyone have ave one laying around they want to sell?

    Trying to convince them to hook it up today and try to communicate with it. The service manager wanted to push me off until next week sometime. Waiting on the owner to make a decision, seems like a good group of guys and I am hoping for the best.

    At CAT dealer now and they don’t seem too excited to even look at it. I may just be screwed.

    So got the fuel drained just as a precaution and added five gallons of know good diesel. Drained filters and lines and reprimed. Nothing. Dead truck. Looks like Ike we are going to that CAT dealer via tow truck

    Honestly that’s why I drained the filters to check if the place sold me the wrong fuel. It is diesel. My soaked clothes are a testament to it
