    and my question is for both of 340/380 engine

    - Are the fuel pump same?
    - Fuel overflow valve?
    - Fuel Pressure in fuel rail ?

    D12C were supplied with Bocsh and Lucas injectors. They are not interchangable. So check for fuel injectors coding in ECM and remove cyl head cover to learn what injectors are installed.

    On US market over 90% trucks got Lucas (Delphi) injectors, on EU market a half were Bosch
