    Fuelling update - sump + better return location?

    Any reason not to just use the current supply line as a return (the draw straw) when setting up a sump?

    Fuelling update - sump + better return location?

    They installed the return to the filler neck, and the FASS way below the frame rails. (When the FASS pump was installed, my truck was a daily driver, so I had a garage diagnose the issue and install the pump, much to my regret) this is the option that has its own return point, but I feel like...

    Fuelling update - sump + better return location?

    Hello, I've got a '99 24v that's running fairly well- one thing I'm noticing is that the fuel lift pump is struggling to get primed on occasion. I think I know what the issue is there, but while I'm working on it, I'm going to put in a no-drop tank sump (I think I'm sold on BD's low profile...

    '99 Club Cab Infinity removal quirks: Rears Don't Work

    Now that I'm finally trying to get back to using my truck after some mechanical issues (thanks again Dudeman), and while I had the front door panels off to replace the mirrors (having a hard time separating the coincidence that the mirror holder fell off the day I brought it back from the shop...

    24v Cummins Smoking - bad injection timing? but brand new pump

    Apparently I can't follow simple instructions, but once I followed the injector-by-injector bleeding procedure, it started right up. Turns out it was a multi-part problem. As I had done a hot-wire VP44 test, and it still ran like crap, I knew it wasn't the computer. Turns out it wasn't ONLY...

    24v Cummins Smoking - bad injection timing? but brand new pump

    Hello, I FINALLY found the time to put in the injectors. Took me long enough- partly due to parts delays, partly due to me being nervous and trying to line up a friend’s help (anything can be daunting when you’re down one hand). In the end I found it to be easier than expected, except getting...

    24v Cummins Smoking - bad injection timing? but brand new pump

    Smart injectors, perhaps? I like to think that they're used to Fords knowing when an injector is bad- their specialty is 99+ fords, and people come for a good ways to get their expertise- me living a block away, was just happy to have a Diesel Mechanic nearby. Ah well, live and learn. I'll...

    24v Cummins Smoking - bad injection timing? but brand new pump

    I asked, and they said they did not do an injector test (pop/close/pattern- anything), they starved cyl #6 and the popping decreased dramatically, and cyl #6 is the one with the slight pressure leak into the exhaust manifold, so that was the "problem cylinder" in their minds. They swapped out...

    24v Cummins Smoking - bad injection timing? but brand new pump

    It's a stock exhaust, so it does exit the middle of the header, but I only let it run for a minute or so, and checked the temp very close to the head. I couldn't recall the exact numbers, but the disparity was much more significant early after startup. I'll ask 'em about checking the injectors...

    24v Cummins Smoking - bad injection timing? but brand new pump

    I seem to remember there being a teensy bit of white smoke on startup months ago, so I guess in this setting I didn't think anything of it. With regards for the tuner, yes, I'm sure it's disconnected. I contacted the manufacturer and unplugged what they told me to unplug (the tuner itself and...

    24v Cummins Smoking - bad injection timing? but brand new pump

    Hello, in my conversation with Industrial Injection, they were wondering about running conditions @ higher RPM's and what the idle RPM was, so I did a quick quick startup video with a tach picture-in-picture , because I don't think my descriptions are spot-on. Hope that helps!

    24v Cummins Smoking - bad injection timing? but brand new pump

    I've been really busy, and haven't had the chance to tear the front cover or the valve cover off to check the timing and the rocker action. However, I did make a video because I'm not sure I'm describing things correctly. In the video are two startups of the engine. one is a dead-cold start...

    24v Cummins Smoking - bad injection timing? but brand new pump

    I realized when I posted this on the Cummins forum that I failed to mention that they put a new injector on #6, already. It's my understanding that the new injector is still there. I called the local Cummins branded repair shop, and then Dodge to try to find the Stock timing code to no avail...

    24v Cummins Smoking - bad injection timing? but brand new pump

    Yeah, I'm learning about the 24v's failings, one part at a time. It's a diesel specific shop, but their specialty is PowerStroke's. They do have a certified Cummins tech on-staff, and we have a Cummins brand shop here that this guy knows some mechanics at. It's my understanding that several...

    '99 Club Cab Infinity removal quirks: Rears Don't Work

    That, there is the entire reason for my confusion... The previous owner replaced the 6x9's but kept the head & amp's; I replaced the head, pulled the amp's, and put in component's. In so doing, the amps are unplugged & gone, but somehow the choke relay still controls the rears. Which makes no...
