CT Coffee Nites '06 Check in on what's happenin'

[PRattenbury]

Oops. On the 12V I just took off the vacuum line, the lube line and the PS hoses. I pulled out the IC tube to make some room, and then pulled the Vacuum and PS pumps out as a unit. Then I split them outside the truck and did the vacuum pump. No too bad. I do hate those IC boots, though. I did the left side, but I'm waiting for a day I can muster up the patience of a saint to do the right. I got those replacements for Piers. Tough buggers to get on. :{

My PDR boots have been on for 2 years now so they were not easy to get off. Heck just getting them on sucked. Come to find out Hairspry helps ... . but good luck breaking THAT seal

 

[PRattenbury]

I jumped for Joy. Dish soap that is.

 

[PRattenbury]

I'm off to Mass Diesel early Saturday morning for a 1000 mile checkout. I wonder if I should get brave and put a lift pump and 191's in Friday night. If I don't do it right, I'll be toast for Mass Diesel.

Dont be scared we got your back. Whats the worst that can happen, you put your D/V's in upside down? :-laf

What kind of idoit would do that?

 

[JSienkowski]

Well ya know there are certain requirements to be a member of the PDTR (Polish Diesel Truck Association) :-{}

 

[PRattenbury]

Heck, I'm not sure I'd know one was upside down or not. That's why I have the big yellow book. Maybe I'll start my own chapter called the diesl challenged engineers society.

If you dont know it the FIRST time, for sure You will know it the SECOND time you do it :-laf :-laf :-laf

 

[PRattenbury]

Yeah, I have a 50-50 shot. Maybe I could put half in one way and the other half in the other way. Ummm, where is a good place to buy some 191's and a lift pump? I'll get them express shipped in the morning. What tools should I bring? Some funky lug nut thingy takes out the delivery valves. I don't have that. Nor do I have metric tube wrenches... heck, I ain't doin' so good. Us diesel challenged engineers have it tough. Any tools like MIG welder or torch or anything needed at the shop? I have stuff like that tucked here and there around the house. I don't use them so much I need them around all the time.

City diesel has them the cheapest. I have the socket. That and a 3/4 wrench and pencil magnet is all that is really needed. Get some new O-rings to go with it also.

they also have the lift pump under 12V stock replacement parts...

 

[PRattenbury]

Looks like a good price on the pump. I'll call them to see if they have 191's tomorrow. I dunno what those ones on the web page would do.

Nope, Was going to talk to a shop and get a price on labor, but the wife's Jeep decided to not start this morning and a brake line blew on the back up ride-all before 0800, it's Freekin' Monday!! :{ #@$%!

If you dont get the cut D/V's from city, here is where I got my 191's.

 

[PRattenbury]

City said 191's are on back order from Bosch. Got 'em off EBay. Thanks. Now for a lift pump and overflow valve.....

 

[PRattenbury]

Looks like lift pump and overflow valve are no problem. NAPA, Advance, anyone has that stuff.

 

[TORQUE THIS]

I won't be around this Friday. We have another picnic at the house for the kids B-Days...

I am hoping to be around Wed and Thrs night cleaning up the van...
