OK on the compression situation should I tighten the injectors up a lil more than what is called for along with the glow plugs . And with the turbo off it ran before . The guy I purchased it from had a regular idi so I thought with the turbo being on it wouldn't run . That's why I took it off . But still no luck its going to the dreaded shop Monday . The guy that owns the shop is a teacher at the college my brothers girlfriend goes to and is in his class so hopefully I'll get a good deal.

Awesome work. On a side note have you ever heard of Clearfield before out in the greenbrier/great bridge area?

I went out there with my grey f250 Tuesday and Wednesday, did you hear if both the tractors got out? The owner yesterday said he's shutting the place down if those tractors weren't out by yesterday night.

OK one pump somebody had dropped it the pump rebuilder said and the other the fss looked like somebody was jamming on it when the pump was off . That's what the pump rebuilder said. If any one around here needs injectors or pumps rebuilt I used Jg parks on Bainbridge behind nut well towing

The pump shop said when they took the cover off where the fss is it looked like some had jammed it with something it was all broke up . What I don't understand is both of my pumps worked before they went into the shop .

Its been a hard year with all that has happened but i owe everyone an update with all the help i was giving. To update all that has happened and everyone that helped thanks. In the end the shop said that the rings in the new motor were bad. I explained to them that it started before but he didn't wanna hear that and I was tired of sinking money into it so I sold the truck to recoup what I had lost and will buy another eventually. Looking to go power stroke and maybe an idi after for a project .
