    Archived slowly decreasing lift pump pressure on trip out west, need ideas.

    running pumps in series with no issues, idle pressure at 25-27 and running under heavy load uphill haven't seen it drop below 17. maybe it was as john said.. just a combination of altitude and throttle position sensor and a weaker than needed lift pump for the conditions. she does seem to be...

    thanks j. yeah i think i'm going to get a couple banjo fittings tomorrow and some fuel line and run both pumps in series for the rest of the haul to reno to keep my pressures up. i don't think it would have been very good to be towing this 36' bumper pull camper in the wind as its been today...

    yeah he flat out lied about the pressure... new mech gauge reads just like the old one that broke.. shows about a half a psi lower than the electronic gauge that came with the edge module. so in case anyone's passing thru cheyenne id say stay away from "Mr Diesel' . he did the APPS like he said...

    john - thanks for the reply... i am coming from wisconsin at a bout ~700 feet elevation. i was worried about the scenario you suggest as well, hoping it wasn't a restriction on the pickup. hopefully the hydraulic gauge i'm about to install will verify things one way or the other. i had the alarm...

    guy at the shop says he hooked a mech gauge up to it and fuel pressure is fine... in the mean time i have a new overpriced apps which seems to help thus far... while he was working i went and got a mechanical pressure gauge of my own to put in the old broken one's place so we will see shortly...

    Do electric fuel pressure gauges die a slow death like that?

    Archived slowly decreasing lift pump pressure on trip out west, need ideas.

    It's possible of course. I had a mechanical gauge as well but it has long since failed. The Guage I'm getting these readings from is part of the edge kit. This mechanic says the apps is bad and there's a dead spot in it. And wants to replace it but will also throw a mechanical gauge on it...

    Archived battery gauge bottomed out then a little squeak then coolant leak towed home

    the edges of the vanes looked as if they had been rubbing on the block metal... like how a plastic spoon looks when stirring the bottom of a hot pot or pan for a short time... when compared to the new pump there was no noticeable difference in size or metal loss only some abrasion and...

    Archived battery gauge bottomed out then a little squeak then coolant leak towed home

    it definitely was the water pump... the bearing/seals were shot... tons of play in the shaft... the tips of the vanes had been rubbing on the edge of the metal inside the block as well for a short time... although no pieces broke loose thankfully. inside the box on the new water pump it says i...

    Archived battery gauge bottomed out then a little squeak then coolant leak towed home

    sorry i should have said the belt is still on just jumped out a little and the edge is shredded. i guess i just have to rip the old one off and start troubleshooting... could a malfunction of another device on the belt cause a coolant leak or only the waterpump? i was a little worried at first...

    Archived battery gauge bottomed out then a little squeak then coolant leak towed home

    truck was running normally on the way to a hunting spot. started and ran normally on the way out... then "check gauges" light comes on and i notice volt meter is not reading anything on dash. i'm in the middle of nowhere so i decide to get driving back to civilization before battery dies in case...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Your Thoughts, FASS wiring

    wow, the relay works quite well for me. even with only the ddrp. no longer am i going down to 10psi on hard pedal... stays at 12-13, furthermore while cruising at 60 pressures stay at 15. anyone who gets a ddrp for a 24v should do the relay.

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Your Thoughts, FASS wiring

    i'm 99% sure this one doesn't have an in tank lift pump... i'm assuming i'd know by now but i could be wrong. i originally removed the stock block mounted pump and replaced it with the ddrp on the block then later relocated the ddrp to the frame rail back by the tank. over the course of the last...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Your Thoughts, FASS wiring

    so next question is... can i daisy chain pumps? i have a fass ddrp and a brand new stock pump.

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Your Thoughts, FASS wiring

    so my fass is back on the frame rail. is it better to wire it up this way with a relay attacted to the ecm harness? right now its just got wires extended back from the stock harness to the pump on the frame rail. if so what relay should i get and do i hook up the power wires directly to the...

    Archived Fuel leaking while hauling heavy load

    It seems to have slowed or stopped I can't tell. It's a bad time for it. Moving my entire house worth of stuff in 3 trips each about 400 miles. I will keep checking for where its coming from... I think an injector line.

    Archived Fuel leaking while hauling heavy load

    Sorry if this has been asked before. On the road towing a 20ft trailer with our whole apt in it. Stopped after an hour or so to check if things were ok and noticed diesel smell near engine compartment. Is wet along the side where injector lines go in and from looking under it must be leaking a...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Loose Steering

    yeah i'm gonna try rotating the fronts side to side. alignment i will probably pay to do if/when i get new tires, but it will get done. i'm just trying to take as much of the front end issues on myself first before dropping serious coin at a shop. i really want to do ball joints myself now even...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission towing capacity from oem rear hitch

    the displacement figure of 9500 lbs is the stock spec the old owners manual lists. i was trying to figure out if thats max capacity when fully loaded with fuel and water or what, and i really didn't have any luck researching it. the water tank is empty and the fuel tank is 1/3 full (35 gallons...
