Here is the how-to most guys on here recommend.

TikiWiki : IDI Fuel Injection Servicing

I had trouble with my install because I had a bad injector that I mistook for bad timing and or a bad IP. Don't forget you will need a way to set the timing for the new pump. I bought a timing meter designed for these engines but I know there is a rental program going on over at oilburners.net.

 

Thanks for the info. I'll have to go through that link.

 

Just read that whole write-up. What a killer article. Thanks for that one.

 

@ Airkewld ---Take some pictures and post them on here we like pictures of trucks espically our IDI 's and such ... u can post a pictue of an issue you are having and we can help your out pin pointing things..... Best of luck sir!!!

 

Thanks, man. I'll have to get some updated pictures. I painted it about 7 months ago and put some later model wheels on it but have yet to take any photos.

 

Here's a couple I just shot on Saturday of the IDI about to do work towing my Bus over to my new house.

 

Hey guys, I'm about to order the IP, injectors, install kit and glow plugs. Anything else I should order while doing all this?

 

Either buy online or find a good hardware store to get the 5/16" 16 point socket, 9/16" open ended crow foot and some swivels and extensions. You can bypass the crow foot if you have the ability to make a wrench that will fit the nut on the IP flange on the passenger side. You will also need a torque wrench.

Are you getting the return kit from Russ? If not, buy a pack of #111 viton O-rings and use them instead of the ones that come with the return kit.

 

What's the 16 point socket for?

 

Removing the bolts that hold the IP to the timing gear. They are under the plate below the oil fill tube. There are 3 of them and they have a torque setting when reinstalled.

 

Diesel Performance Specialists, Inc. - The Diesel Performance Specialists

a good place to look for pumps and injectors

 

Ahhh...gotcha. I'm pretty sure I have a 5/16 16 point socket. Thanks for the heads up.

 

What you will really need is a 5/16" 12-POINT SOCKET. There was a typo in the source article.

 

Oh ok. I've got that for sure.

 

I did the IP removals w/o a crows foot or customized wrench...maybe I got lucky lol...
