even with engine off but the key on to prime its not getting over 35psi...

 

Where is your FP sender tapped, and what are you using for a gauge? Have you verified with a mechanical? Check the regulator/ blue spring to make sure all the parts are installed correctly. Check upper/lower filter cap o-rings. If that all looks good, I'd make a quick and dirty adapter to check pressure right out of the pump, dead heading into a gauge on the engine supply nipple, then the return going into HFCM. That should give you enough to determine if the problem is at pump, or engine.

 

my sensors plugged into the test port on the upper filter housing.. dont have a mechanical one to verify with.. why im planning to take it in and have the pros look at it.. blue spring followed both video and written instructions to a T since it was the first time i had ever worked on diesel...

 

I changed my fuel filters, installed the "****" type HFCM drain plug and the "Blue-Spring" mod today..........

Only had a little bit of fuel running down my arm!!

 

Here's a bit of a better deal too from Diesel-filters.com online too..... $approx $120 for the same pump!


Added: Looks like diesel-filters.com might be the best deal. add some filters and exceed $200 and you get free shipping!

That was just my first try at finding it!

 

Got 2 New batteries, washed it, and gave it a belly full of Diesel. Hopefully she runs great to North Carolina and back. Later got to put the cap on, and start packing it.

 

Yesterday I started planning my vacation and some mods to the '05 to make it ready it's upcoming tow.

-Even though I've replaced the brakes with wagner severe duty pads, they squeak and I'm fairly confident my front rotors are warped and won't meet my standards with a Travel Trailer behind it. To that end:

-With all this talk of V/B code springs lately and with my rear springs sitting on the overload, I've started sourcing the springs for this mod as I know my stock, worn springs won't cut it in their current condition. I get the hook up at my local dealer, so I'll see how much they want for them.

-The transmission hasn't been completely flushed and probably never has been with the previous owners, so sometime next month a flush is in order and a 2008 pan and filter will be going in.

By October and the 1 year anniversary of me owning the '05 it will be better and well equipped to tow.

 

where in NC adam?

 

Carrolla/Duck. OBX

 

She got new hub bearing assemblies, new upper and lower ball joints, new spicer axle u-joints, new vacuum hub seals and dust seals and a lot of cuss words from me. I was amazed what a tard I have become since I stopped wrenching professionally 10 yrs ago.....had a hell of a time with the first side. Second side 3 hrs with cleaning all parts. Oh well live an learn

Anyway I am ggod for years to come.

 

Changed the oil and gave her a good bath. She's a happy truck today!

 

Started mine for the first time in a month. How I missed the sound.

 

sweet... not too far then... just a 2 hr drvie from where i live...

 

Put a turbo on my brothers truck. Sanded a little on the 05. Went inside and played with my two little girls. Oh put some security cameras up too. Dang thieves.

 

Lol. It is 11hrs from where I live. Or about 600 miles. It would probably take me 8hrs, but with a 4 & 5yr old, and the potty breaks, and the " I'm hungry, I'm thirsty, and the are we there yet" it adds 3hrs.
Not to mention, the folks that are convoying with me have kids too..... of course they won't be on the same schedule as me........hahaha.
