    Belching blue smoke!

    Thank you everyone for your input. At work all day thinking the worst, complete head rebuild. I did replace the lift pump about a month ago. But that does not mean it is good or producing enough pressure. Things to do list after work tomorrow is find a fuel pressure gauge. Local industrial...

    Belching blue smoke!

    My truck has had an random miss with it for awhile, a few thousand miles. I figured it was time for new injectors being these in it now are the originals that were rebuilt just over 100,000 mile mark. A few weeks ago I installed 185 Bosch injectors and it runs the same. Sounds no difference...

    Timing port leaking?

    Thanks for the info. BushWakr. From reading one of the other post I have gathered that there is a bottom to screwing the star wheel down. But what about screwing it out, or counter clockwise? Is there an absolute stop or is the stop when it comes out of the hole with springs flying to the...

    Timing port leaking?

    Thank you for the insight BushWakr. I've done this before but didn't notice the fuel. Sure did this time. While I'm on the subject of injector pumps, is there an stock setting that these VE pumps are set at from the factory? Referring to the star wheel and high speed screw specifically...

    Timing port leaking?

    Hi everyone. Hope you had a great Labor Day weekend. This last weekend I set the injector pump timing to 1. 4mm. I had all the injector lines off, replaced the vacuum pump, installed 185 Bosch injectors, etc. etc. . But when I removed the timing port plug fuel came out, and in a steady...

    smokey exhaust problem

    I have a smoke issue that came up suddenly. I'll do my best to describe the symptoms. The truck is cold and the right mirror is positioned down so I can see the exhaust. With the transmission in L1 (so it doesn't shift) I'll depress the throttle about a quarter to a third and hold it there...

    jbolt Just finished replacing the gear box and power steering pump. I am in the process of locating upper/lower king pins. They are turning into a real search. I have a couple of places to try tomorrow and hope that they can come up with some. Hate to go thru the stealers. It would be...

    King pin/Ball joint numbers?

    King pin/Ball joint numbers Thankyou Pat for the reply. Helped a lot. Showed the parts in their catalog as being TRW's. Which is fine with me. Just need to find someone local that carries TRW products. May need to order online from somewhere USA.

    King pin/Ball joint numbers?

    Happy New Year to Everyone! Working on my front end, attempting to tear into the upper and lower "king pins" that dodge calls them or upper and lower "ball joints" the manual calls them. What ever. Has anyone the part numbers for MOOG replacements? My local auto shop carries moog but hands...
