I have struggled with similar issues. The copper washers are one time components. If you have released a banjo bolt the crush washer must be replaced. There is a screw bleeder to release bubbles. Like the others said above...unless there are mods the fuel pump is mechanical.
I was just trying to throw out some information about which of the 2 pick up lines is the longer.
'cause I got nothing else to put out there. This is one discouraging undertaking. I'm defiantly not having fun anymore.
I'm betting (from photos I can find) that the line towards back of truck is the long one. If it wasn't such a blind puzzle to get back in I'd just take it apart again.
Cleaned out a outboard gas can I had in the shed - filled it with new fuel --primed, bled, cracked & it ran perfect. Drove around the neighbourhood for 45 min. The hood only blew up once. Great. Backed it in and made a tarp tent & fired up the garage heat and dropped the fuel tank. The pick...
OK. That fits in w/ the fellas above suggested running it from a separate source. I wasn't able to make that happen today. But I am running out of sources of bubbles. Fuel pick up. Fuel line. Prime pump. Lift pump. Bubbles.
All that said 20 KM ago, before the crank broke, it all worked...
Turns out that little hose was in somewhat rough shape. One end was a bit stretched -- Replaced. I hooked up my bypass so that the system was limited to: fuel in to lift pump - fuel line from lift pump to injector. Quick / easy prime. Quick / easy start. Messy but relatively easy bleed @...
Helpful input gentlemen! Heading out to the garage to execute these suggestions. That little return hose is an easy one - just gonna replace. I got a male to male union so I can bypass the filters and new fittings and plugs for my filter heads for after the bypass test as well as new 'O'...
Thanks for the response @roscoFJ73 -- I'm starting to run out of time and I appreciate your input as work and a million other things are calling. Your Input and Mud in general is priceless.
Here's the plan:
Fuel source in the engine bay w/ no filters. Pump fuel from a bottle straight into the...
I was reading through @drdalloway 's post & responses from @duncanrm & @roscoFJ73 . Sounds like he has (had) the same problem.
duncanrm's Lift Pump Video was helpful in deciding that both of my pumps are OK. I removed the lift pump from truck and from parts engine -- Defiantly don't have...
Good suggestion. I didn't disturb the 'in' side of the primer pump. Maybe I'll open that up and replace the copper washers. all others were replaced. Thanks
Its been a tough year for the 3B powered 60...Things seemed like they were going well. I had just returned from a trip to the coast across the Rockies and back to the prairies when a knock started that was felt in the clutch pedal. I kept fiddling with the range selector as it felt like the...
I am going for full rebuild.
I've got nothing to complain about. I've driven this truck for years- several of them w/ turbo. Now the question is are the pistons from Australia Engine up to the job when I'm running 13-15 psi? Sales rep there said the "Diesel Power " kit they sell is for non...
Thanks guys. I appreciate the input and knowledge put fourth. The inspection will start soon. I'm just about over the disappointment of taking it apart again.
I'm wondering which end to start with? Dropping the oil pan seems like the least invasive but since I just had the trany out and I feel it in the peddle when pushed in is that the place to start? I saw @gerg helping a fellow mudder with a knock that sounded like mine and it was the head...
