No i do not.
If those lines caused the problem It seems odd that the truck ran fine for a couple months then started doing this.
I guess I will go ahead and reroute the lines according to the TM since I don’t have the deep fording kit.
Just looked at the TM and my vent line #2 isn’t connected to the fuel pump vent line at all. It runs across the engine then tees off to the power steering pump then nothing. The other orphan vent that runs across the engine and isn’t connected to anything connects at the location where #2 does...
Kids were distracted for a few minutes when I got home from the office so I busted out the multimeter.
Getting 24.4 bolts on 54 at the IP.
Maybe related but I noticed two vacuum/vent lines dangling near the separator.
One starts between the air filter/exhaust and tees off below the middle...
I get the same flow into the separator (rear fuel line into the canister) as I do to the IP (front outlet).
Nothing ever comes out the drain.
I have to use the bleed screw at the top of the fuel separator housing every time the truck stops running. It runs dry every time it starts up and I...
Yes, I did install a new O-ring during the fuel filter/separator.
I will bust out the volt meter and check this week when I find some time. When I reconnect 54A to the IP I hear a click if the ignition is turned on when trying to remove air from the filter.

The part that...
I meant I have removed the rearmost fuel line (into filter/separator) and cranked that into a container and also cranked from the fuel separator into a container and they flow at similar rates.

Delete the check valves permanently or just to test?
I have cranked from the fuel tank into the filter and it comes out about at the same speed as the filter does. Filled up about 1/2 pint in 30 seconds of cranking.

Just did some more searching in the forums and am going to test the check valves today. There are times i think the fuel system is pulling a vacuum and the drain line sucks in air. Starting at IP check valve then headed to the tank. Hopefully it is something simple.

After driving my rig for a few months I recently started having some issues.
I replaced all the glow plugs due to the inability to start In cold weather and things we good for a while.
Replaced the fuel filter and separator after consulting the TM and then the issues began. It ran great for...
I have absolutely nothing added to the truck that wasn’t on it when it came from Albany. Former B0625 compressed foam fire truck so maybe something there
In true Richie Bros fashion, nearly 4 weeks after I pick up my truck I receive an email that my EUC was missed and has been resubmitted and I don’t need to do anything further.
Did I win a free Humvee? Or just general incompetence? When i login to my account it still says EUC approved.
So I installed my battery disconnect switch today and even with it shut off the wait light still flashes for a split second. I installed it in between the rear battery negative terminal and the shunt. Is this normal?
My switch appears to be the same Pollak switch that RWH shows in the picture above
Any idea if the staff in Albany will let me do a once over and maybe do a minor fix on the vehicle while I am there? From the pictures on GovPlanet I can’t see the gas pedal and have a replacement to take with me.
Hoping I can have some time to slap something together to make sure I can get...
I called rather than emailed and got the number directly from the Customer Service rep to pick up my vehicle in Albany next week. They didn't do anything other than make sure my release form was property generated and give me a phone number.
Update: Spoke to the post sale team and the rep chatted with someone and they let me know they sent a list of vehicles to TSC for updates. Don’t know anything yet.
After my call I finally got the reply email I was waiting for:
My apologies on the delay in response. TSC is currently working on...
