This would be my next course of action. It seems that everything is pointing toward the HPOP.

 

....who say's i won't....can you tell I'm super jaded at this point?

 

I don't have my old one, sent in as the core. Terminator requires you to send yours in first

 

I'd like to see a poll of how many have done these mods without issue vs. those who have had issues. When I swapped injectors, turbo, etc. I had a hell of a time getting it to run right.

 

Funny thing, this all started because i was replacing a glow plug...'might as well do this when the valve covers are off'...'might as well do this while I'm doing that'....'and do this too'

 

Mine cranked up right off the bat and has run like a scalded rat ever since. Zero issues so far. Would be an interesting poll for sure.

 

Shut up Andy! None of us want to hear about your lack of problems. That's why everyone likes Tugly, he knows how real the struggle is.

 

Lie to me Andy!

 

I'm sure at some point not too far off, I'll be stuck on the side of the road somewhere and I'll be all "Guys.... help?"

 

Well, i fully expect to get this hpop issue squared away to only find i have a fuel o-ring/cup issue

 

Lol! If you expect disappointment, you won't be disappointed.

 

Like to keep this going since you've been so good. Once it's done, tell us about the new trans mods you are going to do. Just kidding, I hope all goes well for you.

 

Now you are getting somewhere!

No need to worry about fuel system or electrical or anything else right now.

No pressure from pump = No work

While you're waiting to hear back from the vendor(s), why not pull off the HPOP, take some pics of as much as you can, and reinstall it carefully.

Did you reply to my question about removing any plugs?

Removing and Reinstalling is no loss right now, heck, might even work- depending on what the problem is.

You can inspect the gears and...I don't know, hopefully someone with experience here can lend some tips of things to inspect (shaft play, bolt positions, seals, etc )

 

My thoughts exactly Camper. Gonna pull it tonight after the kids are in bed.

All the injectors had o-rings on them, and the injectors have never had enough oil pressure to fire off so the worst that could happen would be oil in the fuel at this point. But my oil level is good.

 

You're on the scent now. Either find and fix with the R&R tonight, or work out a replacement pump to swap in.

This might be a good time to put the charger on your batteries, get them topped up. It will still likely take a bit of cranking after you fix the problem and you've been cranking a bunch lately.

If it makes you feel better, I'll be going out for the next shift shortly, after my back settles a bit. So you won't be the only person wrenching tonight
