I'm going to go ahead and tell on myself. Got the stack pulled and fan clutch pulled. Decided it was a great time to clean up the engine bay. Put my air nozzle on the air hose, squeezed it and NO AIR! Turns out I had the wrong hose plugged in and never was putting 90# to the clutch! Hooked...

I took your advice and pulled the stack. Beat directly on the clutch, got it to move, but still super tight. Not exactly how "free" these are supposed to be.

Any tips on unsticking this fan clutch? I've put 90# of air directly to it and beat on it pretty good with a long 1/2" extension and a mallet. I am hitting on the pulley area. Tried hitting on the edge of the clutch, but it looked like it would damage the housing. You can see the marks where...

Thanks for the reply! I don't have the fording valve (or at least that I know of....and no controls for one). I had the oil filler neck still off for a while, while it was running and the cdr valve removed. I put all that back on later in the day today, it was still smoking. Maybe I can get...

Alright, found I actually had two alignment marks on the engine side of the IP mounting. Cleaned it up, and then could tell which one was the factory mark. I was severely retarted, so I moved it just a hair past the mark to the advanced side. Fired right up but had just a slight white smoke...

Slight update.... got the injection pump back from rebuild, installed it, but didn't put the intake manifold on and left the glow plugs out. Took about four 20 second cranks for a good mist of diesel to come out the glow plug holes. Reinstalled the glow plugs, without the intake manifold on...

I'm the original poster..... haven't updated the thread because I'm waiting on my pump to come back from rebuild. I didn't have luck in finding my specific pump number on eBay either for a NOS one. During my search, it seemed the 2829's were for 6.2's and the 2831's were for NA6.5's. I could...

Figured I'd go through the whole fuel system while the injector pump is off for rebuild. Pulling the pump was more enjoyable than dropping the tank and cleaning it....

I've read through TM-9-2815-237-34........when it talks about timing, it seems it's more concerned if you pull the gear off? If you're just replacing or reinstalling the IP itself, I would think you would just have to worry about final timing with a light?

I scribed a line on the IP housing / engine mounting. Hopefully this is all that needed to be done?

I was starting to think it would be best to do it this way. I appreciate it!

Spent a lot of time running this down, replacing lines, still doing the same thing. Back to getting zero fuel at the injectors. Ended up pulling the injector pump. Going to bring it to the local injector pump repair shop Monday. Had minimal cussing pulling it.... thought it would have been a...

If it is sucking air from somewhere, would it run fine and shut off on its own? I'm fairly new to diesels (had an 01 7.3 Excursion, but never needed to work on anything...even at 300k...lol). I was guessing if there was an air leak, it would be a problem after you turned it off and when you...

Okay, I bought a 93 M998 about a month ago. It didn't have batteries, had a terrible oil leak, but ran according to the previous owner. I got it home, put new batteries in it, it'd crank over, but not start. Hit it with a shot of ether and it ran......put out white smoke for about 20 seconds...

Do you run yours with the check valves removed? I was reading mixed opinions on this.....

40 was just to get the check valve unstuck. When I removed the supply check valve, diesel was freely flowing from the tank to my catch bucket. I have a completely full tank, probably in the filler neck. So I'm guessing the tank was good, but I'll look for the access cover to remove the...

I read you can pressure your fuel tank with about 10-20# of air to help prime your fuel system. I did this and wasn't getting fuel at the filter......then took the inlet hose off at the mechanical fuel pump and still didn't get fuel out there either. I took off the supply check valve near the...

Well, it was the smart box. Looks like water took it out. Going to gut it and keep it simple with a push button for the glow plugs. Where can you find a quality 24v 200a continuous duty solenoid? Reviews on Amazon are hit and miss.....

Sounds like my controller is definitely bad, so I'm going to go ahead and replace that. Reading more into it, I'm going to do the aux ground harness too. I just noticed this on gear report in regards to the glow plug controller (unfortunately, they didn't know the original author): > ALL/MOST...

It looks like the 4 page pdf I had was pulled from the troubleshooting manual found here..... Untitled-2 (gear-report.com) Page 136 is how I was testing the glow plug controller...
