I know I replaced that hose when I installed the Stanadyne rebuilt pump a couple years ago. But changing it to Viton may be a good idea.

well, thats true. about how many feet does it take for all of it? I know the one line going from the front injector to the hardline is longer. I was going to order 10ft just to have extra, but I think about 6 or 7ft would probably be enough.

I'm going to order some Viton tubing soon, had some other 1/8" fuel hose to use temporarily on the line that was leaking. McMaster is $6.60 ft + $10 shipping now. Duda Diesel has it for $3.58 ft but shipping is $18.... :roll: Good idea on making the plugs, don't know why I couldn't think of...

Well, I'm glad you brought this up about the return lines. Instead of a coolant leak, I found I had diesel fuel leak. It was the main return line connected to the hardline on the passengers side. I had bought some UV dye and put it in the coolant system, a couple days later I drove to town and...

Well the original one's were cracked and splitting at the connection points where the clamps were. The first "new" one's I put on were the actual OEM kit. I don't know if they were NOS or what, but they didn't last. I did not know that silicone rubber was permeable. Thanks for the info...

wow... forgot this thread... five years ago... I need to read through it just to see what I have done to the truck before, as I have forgotten a lot of it now. just so I don't continue to leave this thread hanging... I did end up replacing the heads with reman 6.5 heads, can't remember now how...

well, if I had a press it would be much easier and safer on the casing. I may just build me a press, could've used one a few times.... just need a place to sit it when its not in use. in any case, I may check with a local guy who may have a case. If not I'll buy one off ebay. If I had taken my...

well of course i had to screw up something right at the last thing that I needed to fix to have the truck back up fully functional... blew a hole in the back of the alternator casing trying to install the new "capped" bearing.... I don't have a press or anything like that, so I put the...

Here's a separate question: Has anyone heard of a "CHEVY DELCO ALTERNATOR HARNESS ANTI- FEEDBACK DIODE wire" for the 27si alternator? Now, I'm no electrician (but I have learned a lot through the years repairing all kinds of stuff), but I do understand that a diode is basically a "one way...

Ok, Tested the batteries, both showed around 1000 cranking amps under "tester load". Which 1000ca is their rating. So even though they are 6 years old, the batteries seem ok. I took my voltage tester and checked the drivers side alternator, it showed about 14 volts or just over, which should...

I have an old style "heater coil" mechanical battery load tester. I'll test them when I get back to the truck and see what it shows.

Ok... i "fixed" the temp sensor... you were right Cucvrus... I had switched the temp sensors wire with a gp wire... :shock: the only gp wire that I had to repair for a 2nd time because the actual GP terminal broke again, and I had to replace it with a regular spade receiver terminal. :roll...

Hey Cucvrus! Hummm..... from what I had found online, the temp light went to the sensor in the radiator... so now from what you're telling me thats the wrong sensor, and is instead the one in the drivers head. Guess thats why replacing the wrong sensor didn't help... As to the sensor in the...

**UPDATE: Its been a few weeks since I've made a post, just been pitching and catching, and also continuing to deal with health issues. In any case, I got the replacement IP we ordered from Pensacola Diesel over 2 weeks ago, as well as a whole set of rebuilt injectors. The injectors on the...

I was just looking at an ebay ad of theirs and DCP yesterday evening. Wish I would have went with one of them to start with..... In either case, looks like Pensacola Diesel or DCP would both be about $550 including the core charge. Much better than OFI... I've emailed both of them, see what...

Ok, heard back from Oregon Fuel Injection today, they received my "core" IP this morning, tore it apart etc. They said that the pump was seized and the shaft was broke, therefore it can't be used as a core because it is not rebuildable. auaaua So if I buy a rebuilt IP from them, its going to...

Hello again Ken I actually already shipped out the IP yesterday, but before we took it off, one of the first things I checked was the shutoff solenoid. I tested it on the truck first, and later even took it out and bench tested it, and also made sure the little lever it pushed on inside the...

Hello Again Cucvrus! Yeah, the guy on the injectors that sued DCP, I don't know the whole story. But it was on a newer (2016??) truck, apparently the injectors cost several grand, I think somewhere between $6 to $800 each (maybe more?). He bought a whole set from DCP and had a dealership to...

Yeah, Mark at Oregon Fuel Injection mentioned the Stanadyne additive too. I know I've read a little about it before from other people here on SS. Guess I need to find some too.

Hi Rsh4364 Yeah, I've heard about them too, but i've also seen a lot of complaints as well. Seems like people either like them or hate them. Even saw one guy who said he sued them over a set of injectors he had bought from them for a newer model ford I believe it was. So I wasn't to sure about...
