I cannot tell you all how grateful I am that you all have been so responsive to all of my threads on this effing truck.
Just a guy that wants to work for myself and get from behind a desk. This truck is draining me financially, emotionally and worst of all....I’m still behind the desk!!!!!

I hear ya! I have been down more than a week now replacing injectors and adjusting valves, I should get done today.... So I said on Saturday .Rideandrepair and Gix1k Thank this.

We all have those days/weeks owning our equipment.
Sure feels good when the repairs are finished and we're rolling again.
Besides the truck wouldn't look good at the bottom of a cliff.haha
Good luck.Rideandrepair and Gix1k Thank this. -
I own a couple tri axles. The real fun hasn't started yet. Slicing sidewalls while milling roads, breaking springs driving through construction sites with a full load and it keeps getting more and more fun.
Rideandrepair and Gix1k Thank this. -
You trying to make me feel better....lo?Rideandrepair Thanks this.
-
Yeah did it work? I thought it was a good idea at the time. Now I like to drive them off the cliff myself with the drivers in them. Lol. If it weren't for the drivers it wouldn't be that bad. Bunch of babies.
Rideandrepair and Gix1k Thank this. -
What was the solution to your issue with a shims?Rideandrepair Thanks this.

I’ve always heard it works, never tried it. When it comes to staring one, what’s worse, cranking it forever. Or just giving a shot, and getting it over with. Like pulling a tooth. No good way.

The fun is just beginning. The roller coaster ride, that is. You’ve been getting off the hook pretty easy so far. Just warming up. Lol. Really $57, not bad at all. Aftermarket is huge, most of its good, Sometimes Dealer has the best prices. Just never know, as you can see, it pays to shop around.Gix1k Thanks this.

I am going to buy a fuel pressure gauge today and test the pressure. Wonder if I may need a transfer pump if this primer doesn’t fix the issue.
I let it charge for over an hour last night and attempted to start it. Would not fire.
If I have good fuel pressure that could mean the ECM died cause it’s not firing the injectors?
When my mechanic hooked his computer to the ECM and said it wasn’t throwing any codes, is that something that could happen with a bad ECM or do they give an indicator they are bad?
