Does this answer that? I'm not super familiar with pump internals, but it sounded like everything had wear

To recap, replace fuel hoses, primer, and rebuilt pump and injectors. The hand primer now maintains prime 24/7 (not rock solid prime, but substantial), and the injection pump is wayyyyy quieter, hand pumping the primer while it's running basically doesn't change the sound of it almost at all! So...

Not sure if this is still useful to you, but the 1hd-fts are known to smoke white at low rpms due to the dual intake valves rather than the single on 1hd-t. Essentially with a single intake valve on the side let's the air "swirl" into the cylinder leading to better diesel mixing on injection or...

Small update time with more details hopefully soon: Got the new hand primer into the truck over a month ago, the old one definitely was letting air I to the system. However, even with the new primer pump the system was still losing prime semi rapidly (if I waited ten seconds and went back to...

Hey folks! So I recently did my waterpump and all new belts for my 1995 1hd-ft. After installing the new drive belts (alternator+water pump) they were squealing until warm, so I tightened them a bit today by adjusting the alternator (I don't have a belt tension gauge to test spec), but noticed...

Thanks Ikarus, and yeah that's exactly it, many of the smaller electrical systems ground to the body of the truck, like interior lights, door open detector switches, etc

Hahaha thank you!! So there's two? I guess for the dual battery system? Interesting. I'm thinking I'll just run a very large gauge wire from that injection pump side one if I can get to it

That would be awesome!! I don't need the original routing as I'll have to buy my own cables anyway. Your routing will probably be more relevant anyway given we have the same (or similar) conversion

Hey folks! I was wondering if anyone could provide a photo of their engine to battery ground cable and its mounting location? The EWD does not make it easy, it looks like its toward the rear right (if looking at engine from front of car) but I can't see where on my engine that would be. The PO...

Replaced all the fuel lines as well as the gas cap, still have the issue but I'm pretty darn sure I know what it is. When I park on a hill (front up) and hand prime until the cap is difficult to push, if I stick my ear up beside the cap I can hear tiny bubbling that continues until it has fully...

I would agree with your assessment regarding the leaking, but then it's even more strange that your ticking stops when hand priming 🤔. I plan on replacing all of the soft lines and clamps this coming weekend and see if that quiets it down. I'll let y'all know 👍 (ping me if I forget). I'll also...

Hey folks! Thanks for checking out my thread. This may be a silly question (first time doing all of this), but I've just received this OEM timing tensioner bolt for my 1hd-ft from partsouq, and the inner metal surface has a ton of cracks. Is this fine? As in, is this part of the bolt just to...

I haven't driven mine anywhere (have to do timing belt and am scared the 9 year old belt will break at any moment) but just starting it in my driveway with the lower tube with no check valve I did see an improvement. The real test of course would be a longer drive, as I let lots of sir in when I...

Hey Barret, just stumbled across this thread after having done the exact same as you this weekend due to the same symptoms (though I also broke apart the check valve, so will be replacing that 🤦). I read another thread where a user tested the check valve and the gas cap, and they believe that...

I'll let you know, as mine is really loud and definitely beyond regular volume (all IPs tick for sure)
