any ideas about my remanned inejction pump (im worried it will leak because of some dried out seals maybe?)?The whole truck runs pretty well, starts good when hot (so pump isnt worn?) biut the reutrn lines are cracking and i do think i have a bit of a drainback issue...i just dont wanna mess it up if its running fine right now lol. but the injectors are original (450,000 kms, have grey paint on them) and as is the pump-and it does leak a bit...
Also, BB coces are the way to go?
accurate diesel has just "injectors" for 169
6.9L 7.3L IDI Ford Diesel Fuel Injectors 83 - 94 | eBay
mylex diesel has BB codes for 176 6.9 - 7.3 Ford Diesel Fuel Injectors 1983 - 1993 non-powerstroke / code BB | eBay
i bought Gp from accurate and everything was great, never heard of mylex before but their reviews seem good.
or do i want the turbo G codes (for their higher pop pressure?)

that doesn't sound too bad to me. you got in, waited for the GPs to warm up, had to crank for 2-3 seconds, and it roared to life. it sounds like the cold timing advance is working, as it seemed to have plenty of clatter.
what exactly is it about the way it starts that you don't like?
i've found that on mine it starts fastest if i wait 2-3 seconds after the WTS light goes out before i crank it

what kind of rpm's does the tach show while cranking? it seems a bit slow compared to my truck.
how old are the bats, cables, starter. seems like once it hits it runs rine, doesn't miss or anything.
although i have had some air leaks from around my return lines and i have had starts similar to that, mine were a little smoother. i have never had the "typical" start-stall-crank-crank-crank air intrusion though.

batteries are fairly new (less than 3 years), all new cables, starter and bero glowplugs. i ran two 1/0 to primary on starter, 3/0 for grounds. no idea about crank rpms, the tach doenst work untill the engine fires. and sometimes it just doesnt work at all lol. WTS light stays on 8-10 seconds depending how cold.
sidenote: i wish my truck always sounded the way it does with cold advance on

very minimal smoke even when super cold. Greyish blackish smoke. it only does that becaus ei have the throttle at half when im starting it, so she gets filled with some fuel.
as soon as it jumps to life, belches the cloud out and no smoke after the initial puff

ya know, another thought i just had was timing. before i did the head gaskets on my truck i had the timing advanced a touch and it started great. when i put my pump back on i left the timing marks lined up and it starts a bit rougher than it did when it was advanced.
tell you what, i will take a vid today when i start it up to go to school and then tomorrow i will advance the timing to where it was before the head gasket job and take another vid at that setting as well.
