6.9 questions

where is the best place to get an injection pump for the 6.9? where is the best place to get sending units for both tanks on a 1987 6.9 diesel?

i am getting blue smoke on start up and then when driving under acceleration and then again when i let off the accelerator. truck had sat for 5 years and have diluted the old diesel with new. what do you think my problem is?

thanks
-chris

Personally I would change the fuel filter and fill it with howes or diesel kleen or some other good fuel additive put a double or tripple dose in the tanks and run all the old fuel down until you are running on fresh fuel before I bought a new pump.

txaggiegolfer,
Welcome to the IDI diesel forum.

I second that approach.

Next order of business is service the CDR.

Do you have any idea how many miles are on it?
