Hey quick suggestion, I just found out that Dieselsite has an HPOP gear cover that has an o-ring rather than having to use the RTV stuff. Might be worth look into while the engine is out.I am going to order one pretty soon.

The Strictly Diesel one is an o ring as well. I'm running it and like it so far.

Well it’s been a while guys been saving money and working a lot. But yesterday I noticed truck was kinda sluggish and seemed low on power. So today after work I pulled in and let ice and snow thaw out . And checked my fuel pressure while waiting and my fuel pump died. So I’m overnighting a walbro pump from summit racing. Still kinda amazes me though truck starts and runs fine just pretty low on power.

Double check all the wiring. I ordered a new pump, and it ended up being a ground issue.

I hope the new one gets you back on the road
