    Thanks redtrucktim, where were you back in 11/07? That nugget of knowledge would have saved me a huge amount of time and money then, only took 3-months to figure that out on my own :lmao. Problem ended up being a burned VC gasket, some bare wires in the harness and an idiot doing the...

    Coincidence?

    CPS harness What a kick in the BUTT!!!!!!!!! I traced all wires in the engine harness for burns, checked the whole fuel system for obstructions, pulled both valve covers to check J-harnesses, had a mechanic hook a code reader up to it (no codes) and nothing seemed to make a differance. I...

    EBP Sensor 1813658C2

    Thanks for the advice guys, the sensor was located just aft of the HPOP off center toward the passenger side. What is meant by "Gut it at a later time when you have some free time?" I've read somewhere on here before about the EBPV tube plugging and causing an unsightly drip similar to a...

    EBP Sensor 1813658C2

    While pulling the VCs my elbow bumped the Exhaust Back Pressure Sensor and snapped the plastic upper half off. I did a little searching about the functon and can not decide if it is all that neccesary down here in a warmer climate. Haven't priced a replacement yet, but from what I remember...

    Coincidence?

    I've been busy the last couple of days and finally got to the final tear down today. Pulled both VCs and inspected harnesses and VC gasket, all look like new still. Kinda confused, the symptoms leading up to the tear down were exactly the same as last time I replaced the gaskets/harnesses...

    Coincidence?

    On the last go 'round I replaced one of the external connectors due to burned pins, they all look good this time. I didn't get to finish the valve cover removal this evening, I'll check the internal connectors tomorrow. I plan to go back down the external harness to check other wires to make...

    Coincidence?

    I didn't know there was a drain tube, when I open the valve the fuel spills out all down the block, does that mean it has one? I'm very familiar with the fuel in the valley, the original fuel bowl (I JB welded holes twice) has been replaced with all hoses and the fuel pump in the last 18-months...

    Coincidence?

    Excuse my ignorance, but this happening seems strange to me: After cleaning the FPR screen the head gasket or wiring harnesses burned up while truck was idling in the driveway. Events leading up to this: I changed my fuel filter two weeks ago and the Fuel Filter light on the dash started to...

    spending money! Well I've swapped out injector #8, a cracked CPS, the IDM, changed IDM fuses/relays and the engine is still running bout the same. The engine now runs perfect for 5-seconds and then begins running rough, when before it did not begin to have problems until possibly 2-minutes...

    Thanks for the info,I ran out of time when playing parts changer and was not sure about pulling the injectors. Is there a preferred method or do I get a small pry bar and start prying?

    Still looking for the problem! Made to the truck over the weekend and replaced the valve cover gasket, both internal wiring harnesses and glow plugs on #2-#8. The gasket and harnesses looked fine, but the glow plugs didn't seem to bueno. Starting with the #4 plug and both 6 & 8 smelled and...

    thanks for the advice One thing I forgot to mention is that after the codes were read the engine ran normal for awhile when restarted, I even drove it around for a few miles without incident. Once back to the safe harbor I turned her off and restarted only to experience the same problems I...

    Hello to all on this board, glad to see a great family of shared knowledge here that keeps a helping hand out. I've been lurking for quite sometime and have used bits and pieces from this forum to keep my truck running. Recently my truck went down in an area without adequate/knowledgeable...
