No.Vulcan performance and maybe DAP would have them.

If you have the gauges you could rig up something on the freon fill line and hook your air compressor to it. I was going to do that to mine but my circumstances changed and I no longer needed to.

That is good to hear.

If i am not mistaken @The_Hammer has had to rebuild twice already since being a member here.

i bought my aster from auto zone. It has lasted as long as the OEM. The slave I got from rock auto and has been on for 5 or 6 years now and still working fine. It has a bleeder screw on it also.

There can be. Not all codes will trigger the CEL.

I have been thru a few hurricanes out my way on the east coast but very few with the rain yall have seen or have coming this quickly. Hope you can stay high if not dry. It amazes me what straight line winds can do, just rips **** apart, nothing you can do but get out of the way.

My master gave up many years ago and not knowing what I was getting into I just changed it out. It was a pain but it did work. Today if the master went out I would just pull out the whole assembly and change them both. If it was just the slave that is probably all I would change.

Good looking job. Mine is primarily a "Pavement Princess" as Mike calls it, but I like to call it a highway monster. Even with some of its quirks she will haul the mail and my 5th wheel every where we need to go. She also gets around on the job site wet or dry. No offense Mikey. My AD is on the frame rail also but on the inside and it is not as low as yours I dont think. It does still bug me when I look under there that I see a inch or more hanging down, but no issues with that in the 7 years it had been there. Sumps, I dont know, as long as the pickup in the tank will drain it dry I am staying away from them. This was not in anyway meant to be critical of your work or choices. Looks like you did a fine job. Just a different opinion. We all got em. Call my wife and she will tell you how big of an "Opinion" I really am.

Your welcome. Happy to hear of the good ending.

I'm a little lost on this since it's been a while since I have worked on the 24v. Help me remember please, the threaded end of the tube threads directly into the female nut on the injector line, is this right or wrong. I have spent an hour or two looking at tubes to see if I could spot any noticeable difference. So in my thinking or what I remember is the tube seats into the injector at a tapered point on the injector, at the same time the O-ring seats and the threads at the other end are showing so you can thread the 3/4" or 19mm nut to the tube??????????? Is there something I am not remembering The threads on the injector tube are only there for removal. The nut on the fuel lines actually threads onto the head and holds everything together. I just use a flat head screw driver to pop mine out. If it screwed on to the tube and not something to anchor everything the engine would spit every thing out when you started. The steel in the connector tubes is super hard. I have chucked mine in a drill to spin them for cleaning with scotch brite pad. The chuck has never left a mark on them. It is like tool steel on steroids. My money is still on the same horse.

I have a couple thoughts on this. One, the new connector tube might be slightly different from the old and not sealing to the injector. That is letting fuel by the seal and the pressure is pushing by the o ring. The only cure I know for that would be to loosen the line and then the injector hold down. Then snug up the fuel line to the head and it should cure that problem. Two, if the old connector tube only had a bad o ring on it, replace the o ring and reinstall the old tube. The old tube might seal to the injector. I think I would try 2 first and see if that works. When you tighten the fuel line nut to the head it never contacts the connector tube to make it turn. It puts pressure on the fuel line to the connector tube to seal them. It also transfers pressure to the connector tube and the injector to seal that connection. My money is on the connector tube to injector seal since the other joint looked good to you before install.

Nice write up. That truck is very clean top and bottom side.

I am running your favorite, Banks. It is stainless and is still function fine. I am happy with it. If you look at the stock exhaust, you have gotten 300k+ and 15 years out of it. That aint bad either. My Banks has 315k and 12 years on it. Not sure what i would put on when this wears out. A lot of good products out there.

That might be a record for miles and years. I lost my OEM at 75k as did many others from what I have read.

That might not be your problem but it is an easy test to rule it out.

Multiple lines is the part I am not sure on. I know the lift will push fuel past the VP but whether it can get to multiple lines, I dont know. The time it happened to me I thought something on the back of the engine was leaking before I realized it was coming out of an injector line. Once I figured that out I never looked to see if it was coming out of more than one.

When I did my first set I did it this way and had 3 leaks I could not stop. They finally stopped after I took the hold downs and fuel lines loose and snugged up the the fuel to the cross over tube. I then tightened the injectors. No more leaks and have had none since when changing injectors. Just my experience. If they do leak at the tube and the injector the fuel will get by the oring and leak at the nut. The nut does not actually seal to any thing. It just holds pressure on the fuel line to the connector tube to seal them. I guess if the pump failed you might get fuel out of 3 lines. I have had my lift pump get fuel by the vp on one line, but never three.

I have seen Idaho potatoes all my life in the grocery stores. And who could ever forget this. http://bigidahopotato.com/ He could roll that off in your yard and you could carve a new guest house into it. Ahhhh ha haaaaaa!!!

I guess I could just buy you a bag of Idaho potatoes out here and send them to you. Might be easier on you.

The lift can push fuel past the VP. I have done on mine more than once and still have the same pump. I dont however believe it should be able to feed more than one injector maybe two depending where the VP stopped rotating. Not sure how many it could push the fuel to. It does sound like the VP is bad, have you checked for any codes?

Still counting mine in drops not quarts.

Thats a lot of onions.

Hope you got a good view out your way. It is just starting out here but we got a lot of clouds blowing around.

Hand grenades, baby, hand grenades. Or maybe we can find Forest Gump.
