I've got no idea Dave. I would actually like to know myself. I have a CNC mill large enough to do it but ZERO knowledge on what to do.

No fuel pressure but Fass pump is working.
I just posted this same advice on the 911 forum yesterday, but may be applicable here. While installing my injectors I knocked this connection loose on the cowl. I had no WTS and no lift pump. Check it to make sure it's nice and tight and the retaining clip is engaged.

Days like today lots of snow
Where I live in SC they cancel school if they forecast snow. But we have a very limited number of plow trucks and mostly get ice anyway.

I hit a dirt road last night and put it in 4 low. Seemed to drive just fine.

Just dropped it off at the post office. Hope it works!

Ha! We don't even know if it works yet! I've gotten more than $50 worth of knowledge from your site. Just let me know where to send it.

4x4 Troubleshooting
Ok. Currently the truck has all 4 tires off the ground. Transmission in neutral, TC in 4hi. If I spin the back wheels forward and backwards the driver's front goes forward and backwards. Passenger front doesn't move. If I spin drivers front forward rears go forward. Passenger front does nothing. If I spin drivers front backward passenger front goes forward. Rears go backward about half a turn and stop moving. If I spin passenger front forward drivers front goes backward. Rears go forward. Engine running in drive, 4hi rears go forward drivers front moves forward, passenger front doesn't move. Same in 4lo. I assume this is because of the open diff in the front. It looks like it's working on jackstands. This all started when I went to move my camper last weekend. It had sunk in the yard and I put it in 4high to move it. Both rears spun but the front did not spin in the mud. Had to put it in 4 low to get the camper out, but it turned just fine. Driving around the yard if I put it in 4 low it turns like it's in 2wd and doesn't buck at all.

4x4 Troubleshooting
Well is appears to be in the TC. I jacked up the front last night and the CAD is working as it should. Axle engages and disengages like it should. In 2wd I can turn the front driveshaft by hand. In 4wd driveshaft cannot be turned by hand. I wasn't able to get the whole truck up on stands. Ran out of jackstands. The TC isn't making any bad noises in 2wd or 4wd. In 4lo I still get the reduced gearing to the rear end. What could be broken in the TC that still allows the gear reduction to the rear but no front output, even though it engages the front driveshaft? I would think a broken chain would be making a ton of noise and be extremely noticable. Thanks Dave

4x4 Troubleshooting
Ok I just checked everything. I have vacuum to the cad that switches when 4x4 is engaged. I then pulled the cad and the collar, shoes, and fork all look good. Actuator moves freely when the lines are unhook. Nice and tight when lines hooked up. Started the truck with the cad dangling and shifted into 4x4. Fork moved like it should. I'm stumped. Also, driveshaft spins easily in 2wd but cannot turn by hand in 4x4. Only thing I can think is the actuator is strong enough to move the fork out of the truck, but doesn't have enough force to move it once installed. Thoughts? Thanks! Dave

4x4 Troubleshooting
Thanks! So according to this the line I found hanging is the vent/exhaust. Which means the problem is in the CAD or TC output.
-
4x4 Troubleshooting
Thanks. So since my light is coming on it sounds more like a problem in the cad itself. Still leaves me wondering where that line may go, unless it is a vent?

4x4 Troubleshooting
Problem started after an injector install. Back at the firewall by #6 is where I found the two lines going to the TC. The white line is attached to the main vacuum line running along the cowl. The black line has a 90 degree fitting on it and is attached to nothing.

Dave it is a CAD axle. For the life of me I cannot find where that other line should go.

4x4 Troubleshooting
Folks it seems like as soon as I fix one thing another one breaks! I am having 4x4 issues with my truck. When shifted into 4-high or 4-low the 4x4 light comes on on the dash but the front axle is not engaged. The transfer case obviously shifts into 4-low so I pretty much have a 2-low scenario. I started checking vacuum lines but my HVAC and cruise work fine. The 2 lines that come up from near the transmission are what confuses me. One of them ties into the main vacuum line on the cowl. The other has a 90 on it but is not connected to anything, and I can't seem to find what it would look to. According to the vacuum diagram this may be the TC vent? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Dead truck P0216
Ditch the DDRP lift pump asap. I had one that only lasted 20k or so. Fuel pressure gauge saved my VP. I also used to have a glowshift gauge that went through sending units all the time, even with needle valve and snubber. Replumbing the fuel system is not that bad at all. I used the kit from Vulcan and it was super easy. Mounting the new LP on the frame and doing the wiring was a piece of cake. So easy that I did all this at a campground in the dark.

Turbo Install
Well I got the HX35 installed today. Only had enough time for a short test drive after install but it appears that all is well. I will know more tomorrow when I drag the camper home. Man that back bottom manifold bolt is a pain. My box end 15mm was too big to fit on the nut. Luckily my cousin had one that worked. They were definitely on there good. All other bolts came out fairly easy considering the mileage on the truck. What was interesting is there was no gasket on the oil return line on my HY35. No leak either. I reinstalled with a gasket.

I'm not sure what they were popped to. I ordered then straight off the DAP website. Quadzilla is definitely the next thing on my list. What's interesting is I was getting around 13mpg before the injectors. Drove from just south of Charlotte NC to the shipyard in VA Sunday and got almost 18mpg.

Yes and yes. I ordered the new gasket and oil supply o ring and they were delivered today.

I was all set to do it this afternoon and couldn't put hands on a 15mm wrench in my tool box. Going to snag one from work and try again tomorrow afternoon.
