Doubletrouble

Again, the only thing I add is the 2 cycle oil. I have learned this here on the forum and have stuck to it. I retrieved my truck today. Noticed when I turned the key forward I did NOT hear the lift pump come on. I started it long enough to creep it up on the trailer then shut it down. I'll check for power at the pump to be sure it isn't an ecm issue but if there is 12v there I'll be ordering a new LP from dap. I'd like to get an air dog but just not in the budget at this point so it will be a Fass DDRP which it what just failed. It's been on there since I got the truck (30k miles/2 years ago) but don't know for sure how long it's been in service. Once the LP is replaced I'll give her a try and see what happens. I'm sure the injection pump has sustained some wear or damage but if it will keep her on the road for a while til I can save for the IP that would be great. If not then I guess I'll pop for the pump. No way around it.

That's awesome! Hopefully he learned a lesson that day. I'm so tired of these younger generations being such sissies They cry at a minor dig on them. God forbid you insult them in any way or call them by the wrong pronoun. Holy crap! Most of these young "men" don't know what it means to be a man, a father or a good employee. Crazy

I agree completely. It's not all of the younger ones but a vast majority. They don't want to take the time to deal with anyone face to face or take the time to know their job or products they are selling. No pride in their work either.

Won't find detail like this anywhere else. Thanks for taking the time Mike!

I agree. I still have yet to hear any more from anyone on this issue.

The only thing I've added was 2 cycle oil since I've had it. When I got the truck it had 138k on the clock. No telling what was or wasn't done before I got it.

So on my way to work this morning I noticed my pedal was for the most part dead. No acceleration and the engine was "missing" for lack of a better term. Made it to work, truck idled smooth like any other day but if revved a few times it would begin to miss again. Had the OBD scanner in the truck so plugged in and saw the P0216 code. That was the only code present. I know this is the VP death code but before I drop big $$$ on a pump, is there anything else I need to look at? I want to properly diagnose this and not just throw money at it. Can't afford that rout right now. Thanks in advance......

Thanks @IBMobile, I may have some stainless screen in the garage. I'm sure that would work just as well. I also want to use some of that same screen for a bug sreen behind the grill come summer time.

So I sent the first radiator back to the vendor, received my full refund. Then ordered from DAP. Unfortunately the one I received from them was damaged during shipping I assume. The box had NO staples on one side, they had been removed and tape applied to close the box. Then after removing the radiator from the box I found that the top of the core was bent! I contacted DAP and they in turn contacted their supplier. This is what I was told via text message: They are submitting a claim with the shipping company and they will probably be swinging by to pick it up. If they do they will send out a replacement to you as well. Thanks I'm not sure how to take that. I don't like the word "IF" in the action being taken. I shall see what happens. Let me be clear, I do not blame DAP for this, it was clearly mishandled by the shipping company. I just hope I receive a good replacement some what quickly. I have been trying to get a replacement now for a while with issue after issue it seems. Just for kicks, see the pics below.

I pulled my wiper arms off just to repaint them. They looked horrible. I took my time, wasn't a difficult task just be patient. Now I'll be removing them again to install screens. @IBMobile, what type of screen did you use? I like that idea! Also, what glue? Thanks!

I agree. Still planning on making a filter for under the plastic cowl in front of the windshield.

Only 12° difference. I think it should be a bigger margin than that. I belive maybe in the 30° range for good heat exchange from core to air.

I did that not long ago when I changed the t-stat. A year or so ago I removed the hvac box, clean it, replaced the heater core and a/c coil in there and inspected the foam seals. Didn't change alot other than no more coolant on the passenger floor. Lol

I have a similar issue as well. I'll be watching this one to see the outcome. I just haven't dug into mine much yet since I need to replace my radiator. I'll do a system flush then. Already have a new 190° t-stat and new heater core.

@Sycostang67, I assume all is well now? Did they tell you what caused the issue? Glad to hear she's back on the road.

That's a nice filter set up. Looks like it could be remotely mounted anywhere within reason.

Yeah, the quadzilla adrenaline would fit the bill. I don't have one personally but several on here do. I'm sure one of them with more experience will chime in soon to list alot if the advantages to having one. One day I'll pull the trigger on one.

I was more thankful 2 years ago. Just sayin

That's around $5.64 a gallon. Wow

Ok, so the pulley would slip over that and interlock with the tangs? Just trying to picture how it goes together is all. For future reference.

Sam's club buys it in bulk for future delivery. Locking in the price for X amount of gallons. It'll catch up once that pre paid amount is gone and they move on to the next batch so to speak. Around here it's been bouncing between $3.39 and $3.55 at gas stations that carry diesel. The truck stops are closer to $4/gallon. It used to be cheaper at the truck stops but not anymore.

Those jeeps are soooo overpriced. I haul new ones from the plant in Toledo Ohio. I see the sticker price and thank God I have a truck I love and plan on keeping it for a long time. I'll deal with the high fuel prices for a while if I have to.

Pics of the tangs your speaking of? Purely curious. Also, should one add an inline p/s fluid filter?

I just ordered a radiator from them yesterday. Called to be sure it was a direct replacement since I had ordered from somewhere else and their "direct replacement" wouldn't work. The guy took the time to answer my questions and checked to be sure they had one in stock. Seem like a good bunch there. Will definitely order again. I did notice one thing though. On the DAP site very few things have reveiws so to all, if you could, take the time to write a review for them. It will help them and those of us shopping on their site as well.

Not sure you could get a dremel in there?
