I shouldn't say this, but I'm still running my original gpr. I was always gonna order one of these here. Bill(Madvan) recommended this one over a stancor a few years ago, and I kept it marked.
Ford Diesel Glow Plug Relay 6 9 and 7 3 Powerstroke | eBay |
When I put my GP's in after the hydrolock ordeal and got it all together I said to myself, you didn't check the GP's. Oh well, I put them in all new last winter and two weeks ago when I left SD it was 14* out and two inches of snow on the ground. It fired right up!!
Getting any more snow up there Darin? |
Little dusting saturday. It's all gone now. They are talking next week maybe some. I wonder if Bill is getting nailed by the storm today/tonight??
|
i was wondering that too. Hey Bill, keep your head above water and the generator running!

So the FPR worked for you then? |
Yes sir! THANKs so much! I had a reseal kit already to i tore it all down,cleaned,resealed.i also reshimmed the regulator just a bit.replaced the rubber hose to the return.i actually since i had not removed it last time had installed the wrong oring.the plastic carier for the screen was absolutely crushed from before i bought it. So either way,i fixed lots of problems and leak points.someday it will be 100%...next is rt rear window motor,real door lock solenoids,driver seat belt buckle and drivers seat foam(there is NONE)...etc...the next BIG list after that is now forming...
Im just glad that storm went north of you.Im not glad that others will be getting it.but we sure cant change it. |
I'm glad it worked for bud! How did you shim it, with a BB or the screw or what?
|
I used a thick headed brass nail for hanging pictures on the wall...ground off outside diameter so it fit in the valve and cut off 1/8" up shank.i was afraid if over pressuring it so i went conservative.it moved it maybe 2/16's higher.raised it 10lbs. To 60lbs at idle. Im just worried when i got down on it the pressure got down to prob 30lbs. Cant remember what it did before.I just wonder what is too low at full load...love my gauges.that fuel pressure gauge has saved my low fuel having butt more times than i should admit.hahacheap ins.

I've got a Glowshift 3 in 1 gauge with boost on the needle and egt and fuel psi are the two digitals. The fuel psi fluctuates from mid 30s to low 60s constantly, up and down, up and down. I don't know if this is common of the digital fuel psi gauge or not. It will hold more steady when it's under a load like pulling a hill or something. It seems to hold around mid 50s then.
