Thanks so much for the tips, now that you brought that up I think that I may have done that originally with the line. Also the rod didn't fall out this time, I even felt in there a bit and didn't feel anything. But I thought it was just my memory crossing over to something else I had worked on...

Thanks for the tips and for the nut size. I should have known it would have been in there too. I think I'm going to have to replace the steel line, I may have damaged/cracked it the other day. Just going to go ahead and replace it now, as I don't want to have to do this again.

Hi TechnoWeenie, appreciate the post. I just recently realized that my batteries could be a bit weak. I do have an "emergency" button override already installed in my GP system, but I only intended to use it if the card failed or etc. I also installed a new GP card in the year or so after I...

I had read something about two pump numbers, but didn't know the difference in the pump. I just ordered the Delphi from Amazon. As to rock auto... I had ordered from them for I don't know how many years. But back several months ago, I ordered a full set of rotors, calibers, pads, etc for my...

you don't happen to still know the part number to that new pump do you? I believe my pump may be quitting on me after 13 years or so. I have considered an electric pump. But a mechanical pump will work without electricity if the alternator or something goes bad, so there are pros/cons... but I...

When it warms up, I'll use a clear hose on the IP like you said. And I may order a lift pump too, can always keep it on hand if not needed now. I last replaced it around 13 or 14 years ago. Its a pickle to get the bolts started when reinstalling if i remember right. It was an ACDelco 43254 from...

Well, i had used some nos. but some of it just didn't last, especially anything with rubber. I'll have to look some more, see if there is air getting in somewhere or if its something else. I just thought... if there is air there might also be a leak... i might try my black light tomorrow and...

I never had any issue before this, except last winter which was fixed when I replaced my Glow plugs at that time. Thats why I originally couldn't understand why they were bad already. But found out today that they weren't bad. So i'm not sure whats going on now. Unless I'm missing something, it...

Ok.... I'm even more perplexed now. I just tested all the old plugs, and ALL of them Lit up. I tested them like CucvRUS told me to back several years ago. Take plug, use jumper cables to a battery, place ground clamp around plug, dip tip of plug in oil, touch spade connector on plugs terminal to...

Hey All, Finally getting to my truck today while its warm. Supposed to be 64 today! And 72 tomorrow!! WOW what a difference. Anyway, here is what I've found so far this morning. I pulled all the old plugs, they look fine, no bad build up or anything. Installed all the new plugs after testing...

Yeah, I usually keep a set of plugs on hand. But used my last set last year. And hadn't bought another set until the other day. Just wasn't expecting to have to replace them already. And yeah, I'm not working on it out in the cold these days. My un-heated insulated pole barn stays about 50 in...

Yep, we have some cold weather at times during the winters here. Used to live in Indiana, in fall of 2013 I was looking forward to moving this far south... but the winters followed us 🙄 One guy we knew at the time when we first moved here, said that winter was the worst he'd seen in 35 years...

Hi WWRD99 appreciate the info. Temps here as of late, have been in low teens at night. 20's during day. But it supposedly got above freezing today, although I didn't see any ice melting. But I went to drive the truck a week or so ago, and it had only been like 30's that previous night, and I had...

Hey all, I've went through 3 sets of AC Delco 60G glow plugs in the last four years. I know the CUCV can be hard on plugs, but this is not normal. But I can't find the issue. I know if one or more plugs burn out, then the rest get over voltage. But I shouldn't even have the first plug to burn...

Thanks for confirming that OEM are the same part # for both sides [thumbzup] I thought this was the case, but wanted to confirm before I ordered anything. The one's it has currently are just some cheap auto parts store replacements. Which is why I'm wanting to get the Wilson Delco Remans. If...
