Thanks Tommy. After wrenching on heavy trucks and equipment for over 4 decades I have collected quite a few tools. The spring gauge I've been meaning to buy costs $500.00 used so I will have to save up for it. The wife doesn't understand my "need" for such things !Have you developed an opinion as to why you would need an LDS pump on an LDS engine. Other than the linkage, would you now consider them interchangeable? By the way, very impressed with your thoroughness, skill-set, inquisitiveness and your well stocked tool box. Surprised that you don't have a spring gauge. Of course there are probably as many spring gauges as there are springs.
As far as the pumps being interchangeable goes, I see no reason that says otherwise. They are identical in every way. All seven pumps and Hydraulic Heads. This actually makes sense as many on this site say they just increased the fuel on there LDT pumps and got the same amount of power that their LDS units had. Gimpyrobb for one has said this in many posts. I trust his opinion very much. So now after all my searching for the "magic" part I have to say there is none.
