I was riding down the highway when I made that post. Had to do it on my computer since I only have a dumb phone. I believe thats more dangerous than texting while driving. Just got the RV half a$$ set up. Good enough to sleep in tonight anyway. I cant believe I forgot my camera. Walked around the house for 30 minutes trying to figure out what I was forgetting. I have been thinking about that picture for a long time. Cant believe I left it at home. Another chicken house is about to go up in Enterprise Alabama. Picture soon to follow.

again.

Just clicked over 300,000 and no camera. :banghead:

Punch a hole in your tappet cover(maybe a few)and Whalla no more rust. Gets a little messy but I am rust free.

If the fuel was liquid in the canister it is probably not gelled. If you can warm everything up and it still does not pump any fuel I would say it is the pump.

It is possible for the pump to fail internally and still run. Was the fuel in the canister liquid? 20* should not cause regular diesel to gel.

I have started mine in 0* weather. Made a lot of racket, but fired right off. I agree with Tom on the electrical connections and be sure the batteries are in good shape also.

Thanks for the education fellas.

Why would you need to change the exhaust springs? I did not think the brake generated enough pressure for that. I dont know that for sure, just asking.

They are nice. Whether you are towing or not.

Mine is in the elbow attached to the turbo and is pretty instantaneous when you let off the gas other than the 1.5 second delay. The Banks came with its own little brain.

I have been riding around for 2 days now and no more oily foot print, just a spot or two. I sure a hoping that the tappet cover turns out to be 99% of my oil problem.

My banks has about a 1.5 second delay built into it. There is a reason for that but it eludes me for now.

Is the $299 for the whole set up or just the pump? Not a bad deal for the whole thing if you feel like upgrading, Hopefully they are not having any problems with them. I guess in item 2 the refund the $150 upon receipt of the defective pump? Just wish I had the answer to the original problem. It is just strange.

The fuse should be on the power supply to the pump and the trigger wire is not fused. The trigger is the old lift pump power supply from the ECM and has no fuse. If there is a short in the trigger wire is it possible for that to pop the power supply fuse? Maybe a short in the relay base itself? Bare in mind I am electrically challenged and just throwing this out there. Seems weird it trips with a known good relay and not with a jumper. Have you tried cleaning all of the electrical connections with electronics cleaner?

Do you know where overseas they moved their manufacturing?

I want to see what happened after they caught back up with each other.

I heard both good and bad from folks when I bought mine. I replaced everything up front with Moog about 2 years ago and they are holding up fine for now. The have a lifetime warranty, but replacing them regularly is something I really dont want to do. Time will tell.

I wished I would have had more Wished I would have had more time. Cold weather and rain were moving in and I had to button everything up. I had the intake gasket and vacuum pump reseal kit. Looks like they will have to wait for another opportunity. From what I am seeing right now I got 90%+ of my oil leak taken care of. I took a look at the 3rd gen gasket and it does look a lot better than the one have. Did not know they were interchangeable.

Moog makes a lower with an angled zerk. I have them on mine. I think they were around $50.

Here is the 2790 at vulcan for $44.90. http://www.vulcanperformance.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=BHAF&Search.x=-104&Search.y=-77 It has come down 45% since I bought mine.

Same puddle here and it was starting to get expensive. I thought about a write up but most of what I did came from write ups and info I got from here. The tappet cover was the easiest part. 5 bolts off, remove old gasket, install new, and 5 blots on. Wished I would of had more time and better weather to more on to mine. I did a boost test and had no leaks on the intake except at my boost bolt. Did the return tee and the back of the head a while back. The only banjos have left are the return from the head and the VP, all high and dry for now. 5 hours is pretty darn good for all that. It took me almost that to replace the VP 3 years ago with a helper, guess I am a little slower by myself. That and working in the gravel drive way in the winter does not equal speed for me. But it is done now.

That got to be a sign of something. You used another relay from the PDC for the test? Sounds like your pump is old enough to avoid the problems the newer ones are having,
