I've been using these for most of the years I've had my truck:

http://www.dieselsite.com/1999-20037...erbootkit.aspx
The spider-to-CAC tube boots are more than long enough. When I installed mine I fully seated the boot against the ridge on the spider and adjusted the CAC tube to be in a "natural" position before tightening the clamps. IIRC the boot is over the ridge on both my CAC tubes. I've only had one "blowout" in 8-ish years and that was at near WOT merging onto a freeway (turned out to be a loose clamp).
Happy anniversary. Looking forward to hearing good news on getting it started. I'm getting closer to that point also and am dreading that it will not turn over with all the work I did and it being down so long.

Here's the measurements of the Dieselsite CAC & Plenum Boots.

When I get back I am going to change the oil (enough cranking to get rid of any contamination from cleaning cup and previous failure, I think), fill hpop reservoir, remove ICP and fill that head, then crank a bit, then unplug ICP.
If that foamy work after a reasonable time, I'll move on to a Cody test and take it from there.
Sound like a reasonable plan?

How old is the IPR John? If it was me I would put a new IPR & ICP in with new injectors. But that's just me.
Also, turn the KOEO for 20 seconds, do it three times. Make sure you get the fuel pressure up.
Its been a while, I can't remember - did you pull the Riff Raff fuel kit off and put it back to stock?

Thanks for the advice, Rich.
The IPR is about 2 yrs old. Remember the breakdown? I used a lifeline call to Tugly, was rewarded by driving over an hour each way and overpaying at a dealership, LOL. But it got my Excursion home, so it wasn't all bad
I am going to go through it carefully from the oil side, changing it and the filter, filling what I can, etc.
The plan is to get on it tomorrow. It is supposed to be pretty cold here now through tonight, about 35* warmer tomorrow
Hope you got a good harvest! Good to hear from you again

I was looking at Rosewoods site and he was saying on injectors with "high miles" more so are in need of Plunger & Barrels and nozzles as well. What is considered a high mileage truck.
Mine is at 180K currently and seems fine but know I may need in a couple years to have injectors gone through and replace cups getting ready for full time RVing. expect to only have maybe 190K or so .. truck is not driven much during the week.

Same here John. My O-rings looked alot worse than your did when we replaced injectors on the Ex 3 years ago at 220K and I wasn't loosing oil like you are experiencing. I'm still confused on where the oil is going bud.

If it were me I would strongly consider sending them off to Jim at Rosewood Diesel (C******, Ohio) for a $500 stock rebuild. Check out his prices on:
Rosewood Diesel Shop
He also has a DIY kit.
Then I would pull the turbo off and see what is going on there.
