Well after much deliberating and months of work and some unexpected circumstances I am forced to sell.... I worked really hard on it and I hate to do it but I have to. Here's how it sits. It runs great. I got all the parts put back in it and got the exhaust and trans all sealed up and it runs...

ok so another update. IT RUNS!!!!!! it runs pretty good compared to the last time i started it. i had the heads gone through, they checked out fine. I put new push rods and head bolts in it. I put new injectors in it. now when i start it it kicks right off like it used to! but its getting air...

UPDATE!!! ok after another month of trying to figure it out, I took it apart again. the miss was caused by a bent pushrod. SO with that mystery solved, im going to take another crack at this. I guess I didn't seat the pushrod very well when I installed it. oops. but anyway. I solved my fuel...

OK I am officially pissed off and frustrated! i had to wait 2 weeks for enough money to buy the **** injector tool. Then i had to wait over a week for it to get here. i got it yesterday and greedily yanked out the injectors, took them to work, bench tested them and i was right i had one leaking...

I can build you one or sell you mine. Which do u want?

Well after consulting the guys at work and fiddling with it tonight, I think I have a clogged injector or two. I didn't cap them when I pulled the heads off and cleaned the old gasket crap off. From what I can tell the #3 and #7 are worse than #1 and #5. Since its one side and not both sides it...

bump

UPDATE!!!! well here is what is going on currently, any help would be appreciated. I replaced both head gaskets, all the fuel return lines, the coolant temp sensor (I broke it taking out the head) I now have everything back together and got it to start, im back to the same problem if not a worse...

alright, yesterday i got may passenger side head removed, cleaned, and back on with a new head gasket. from the looks of the gasket, i was mere miles from it going legs up. 3 of the 4 cylinders were carbon scored and the gasket was looking bad. so i think it was a lack of compression. when it...

No I haven't but I'm still working on it. My head gaskets were leaking out the back so I'm in the middle of replacing them. So far I can tell that my #3 cylinder was the one misfiring on the drivers side. There was a lot of carbon build up around the exhaust valve. So since I'm doing head...

No I haven't checked those. I'll look into it.

So after much conversing with coworkers we narrowed the problem down to air in the lines.... we think. I came home today determined to figure out what was going on. I took the air cleaner off and started following the fuel lines from the lift pump to the injector pump. Tightening everything as...

I changed the lift pump again suspecting that there might be a bad check valve on it. No luck. I put a secondary check valve between the lift pump and the filter. No luck. So now it comes down to the rubber return lines. They are old and need to be replaced anyway. Then I will check the tank...

i dont plan on putting an eletric pump in unless its strictly a backup. the factory system workes just fine as long as theres no air in the system. this weekend i am going to change that little hose and pickup a check valve. ill start with the little hose on the injection pump.

UPDATE. I finally had time to get under the hood of the beast and check things out. i took the air cleaner off and started looking for issues. the truck had lost prime again and i had a hunch as to where the leak/ leaks were. on the new filter housing and filter there is a water seperator bowl...

well i went to start the truck today.... it lost prime entirely. so i had to re prime it... again. BUT! on the up side since i put clear fuel lines on it, i can see where the air is comming from. i need to go through my lines and make sure everything is tight, replace the lift pump, and put new...

I bypassed the glow plug b.s. awhile ago. I got tired of that stupid relay so I just put a 24v switch and solenoid on the glow plugs. I'll check the warm up sensor thingmabob tomorrow morning. Thanks for the advice!

Where might that be?

I have had my 87 m1008 cucv for about a year now ( yes 87 checked the vin it was manufactured in Jan of 87) and I have been slowly replacing seals and sending units. The first was the tank fuel level sending unit. I pulled the bed and the tank pick up tubes and they r in good condition. I then...
