    Killing while idling.

    So somewhere in here I saw mention of a kit that someone makes with all new dip tubes and fuel lines but I can’t find it now. Does anyone know where I can buy this? I want to replace everything from the tank all the way to the pump to eliminate it from the equation. And just an update. I...

    Also I did the clear hose from the overflow and it’s pretty much all bubbles. I have no idea where the air could be coming from though

    I did crack the lines but I have no idea how much should be coming out. Only small squirts were coming out.

    Killing while idling.

    Done the fuel shutoff already no change. I pinched the line after the overflow and no change. I pulled the overflow out and it looks fine but there is rust inside the hole. How do I check the pump to see if that’s the problem.

    Killing while idling.

    Went ahead and put a new lift pump just to eliminate it from the equation. Haven’t been able to start it since. Primer is pushing fuel I can hear squeaking at injector pump. Tried clamping return line but still no start. Going to get a can of diesel now to put next to the lift pump and bypass...

    Does anyone know the part number for the overflow valve? I will go buy one tomorrow from the Cummins dealer here in town to try it out.

    Killing while idling.

    I only have one fuel filter and it’s up in the engine. It’s a Napa 3472 filter. Other than that I only have about a foot of rubber hose from the lift pump into a hard line that runs all the way back to the tank and about a foot and a half of rubber hose from the injection pump into a hard line...

    Killing while idling.

    So let me try and give some more info on this issue. The truck sat for a very long time and the lift pump gummed all up. I changed the lift pump and the truck started. The fuel was old and bad and the truck ran terrible. You give it the gas and it would barely go. All of a sudden it started...

    Killing while idling.

    It drives but is erratic. Honestly doesn’t have the power it used to. As long as its in a low gear and winding up its fine but doesn’t have any power once it shifts. It’s been sitting so I changed the lift pump and pulled the tank and cleaned it out. Not really any difference. Going to get a...

    Killing while idling.

    It looks like my truck is dropping about 400 rpm when I put it in gear at idle and kills. I idled it up to around 900 and it drops all the way to 500 when I put it in gear. Never used to do this. Does anyone know what I should check?
