my 95 was always hard starting in the am. thought is was natural, did some reading on TDR an found out that i might have a bad over-flow valve. went to cummins and they wanted over a $100 for it. bought mine off ebay for $30. put the new over flow valve in and WOW what a difference. ps when i took the old one out the insides were all broke. spring and check ball all came out in mutipple different busted pieces.

Fuel pressure test should show if it was working or not

Roger that... with a 1yr old, a 4yr old, a wife, a great career and a start up business... I am trying to get time for a fuel pressure gauge install. I have scheduled it for Thurs. eve.



I will post the results.



That is very interesting about the bad overflow valve. I will look into that if my pressure is low.

Phased and timed is internal in the pump, sometimes the plungers get out of time with each other and it causes white smoke and popping if you snap throttle it after start up.
