Issue 1. I have a diesel fuel leak coming from around the fuel filter. I replace the filter, hopeing it was one of the o-rings on the back side of the filter, I have pulled the bracket off the firewall, and used compressed air to dry everything, and in about 3-5 minutes the bottom of it is moist-starting to drip again. One of friends had an old 6.2 civvy truck that leaked at the same place, so I figured this may be a common issue. Is it the water in fuel sensor? is it the housing? I just can't tell where it coming from, but the whole bottom side gets wet, and then starts to drip down onto and around the passenger exhaust manifold. I know alot of people convert it over to a spin on style fuel filter... how hard is it to do, is it worth it?
Issue 2. I know this is a common issue on these... the wiper / washer pump. One day the washer's just stopped working. The wipers work fine, I unplugged everything, blew threw the lines, and the pickup, everything is OK, I have 12 volts at the connectors also. I pulled the 4 1/4in screw's out of the diaphram housing, and took a quick look inside, I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. I can see the white cam spinning inside the motor, but unsure what the deal is. I searched and found a post I believe from Doghead, with a link to a rebuild kit for the pump, showing like a diaphragm and such parts, is this whats going on?
Issue 3. Rear Window. Here in Iowa it has been getting COLD, and I mean -10 with no wind chill. We have had a few -50 days with windchill, one day the rear window was seized up, and the fiance went to try and open it, It had ice all around the seals, and none of the ice was broke off, but she forced the handle, all of a sudden supposedly all she heard was "snap." Now it kinda acts like there is no resistance, like its locked, but its unlocked, you go to Lock it and the lock mechanism comes out with the key in it... umm lost....
Any and all help is appreciated.
