    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Electric fuel pump

    Cool thanks, embarrassing as it may be, I've killed 2 lift pumps in the last 30k, but I believe its because of the way my waste oil system is set up...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Electric fuel pump

    not to hi-jack, but I'd love to hear your opinion on best electric pump for the 12 valves BigPapa...I really dont like how burried the fuel delivery system/filter is on 2nd gen 12 valves...would love to have an upgrade that gets to live on the frame rail or something...

    Engine died

    probably go ahead and get yourself some new batteries if you're having the charge them every time...I've honestly had the most success with walmart ever starts...however, sounds like you have a fuel delivery issue, if you haven't changed the filter in a while, go ahead and do that for cheap...

    Horrendous Smell from engine bay.

    Right on team! New batteries totally solved the problem. Took my interstates to Napa and they tested them...both shot. Went down to wally world and replaced with Everstart group 27...no more smell! Thanks for all the help.

    Horrendous Smell from engine bay.

    yup! That’s the plan..guess I overlooked it because I trusted the interstate brand too much...prob not dropping that much dough again. They have a hard life for sure. But I’ll update when I replace. Thanks for the help.

    Horrendous Smell from engine bay.

    Thanks for all the great response's folks...Verified belt routing...def the correct belt, I replaced everything when I bought the truck and did my KDP...ran flawlessly for about 50k. Replaced my batteries about 3 years ago, I'm suspecting it has something to do with my batteries. I just made new...

    Shock absorber recommendations?

    Very Happy with my Bilstein 5100's ( for 2.5 in level) I have a lance 915 that I offroad with a lot and a 30 ft. toy hauler..they handle it all smoothly and at a great price point.

    Horrendous Smell from engine bay.

    Hey TDR folks, reaching out here with a strange issue. I could preface this with a thousand details, but the long and short of it is I've been experiencing a terrible smell from my engine bay, smells like burning rubber/slightly electronic. It gives me a horrible headache and kind of makes my...

    Shaking at 70-85mph

    Who balances your tires? Sometimes name brand places really don’t get it right... What kind of weights did they use? Also if you have a wheel that’s out of round you’ll have some vibration no-matter what. Thats an issue I have, If you know anyone with a tire machine you just hold a straight edge...

    oil pan replacement and engine mount inserts

    Just thought I'd share my experience with replacing my oil pan and engine mounts, I've used TDR many times when working on my truck and figured I'd try to give back after this project. Tools: Nothing special, just sockets, extensions, open end wrenches, and an engine hoist. Materials: New...

    Killing stock lift pumps with WVO??

    Update, after re routing my heat exchange and deleting the aforementioned puck, the truck seems to be very happy running WVO. I've logged only about 300 miles but the truck is running significantly better. Now to install a fuel gauge to relieve all my worries.. Thanks again for all the help.

    Killing stock lift pumps with WVO??

    Thanks again everyone...quick update, removed the screen in the pre-heater (it was filthy and the seal was very dirty) truck audibly sounds better...yet to try running wvo as I’ve been camped and not driving. Updates to come. I also re-routed my heat exchange so that my wvo filter is the first...

    Killing stock lift pumps with WVO??

    Thanks, Timd32! When I had my initial failure I diagnosed the lift pump by assuring I was fully primed pre and post lift pump multiple times. I also pressure tested my fuel lines and looked for leaks. It started very hard and belched white smoke and would not be able to idle or run...I’ve...

    Killing stock lift pumps with WVO??

    hey y’all, will fill out sig when I have full WiFi...95 12v 2500 w/ 311k. I recently finished installing my two tank wvo system before leaving on a long road trip.
