I'm sorry it's a little hard to do any trouble shooting when I am currently on deployment and my truck is 9000miles away. I'm trying to get a general idea of what to look at for when I get back stateside and preorder parts and upgrades that I was originally planning on doing anyway. Maybe I...

so would the ID competition fuel kit be a good investment? I was wanting to upgrade the fuel system and ****** the bowl anyway so I could kill two birds with one stone? I plan on getting some PIS sticks down the road also

I'll have to look into that when I get home, might as well order a new one though and if it turns out to be good I can keep it in my toolbox in the bed for a spare

or just drop another couple hundred and get the competition kit seeing as I'll be upgrading injectors in the future. Thoughts? opinions? thanks guys!

I'm currently on deployment and plan on ordering the gauge pod with boost, trans temp and egt so when I get home I can install that and take a look into those numbers. Im contemplating ordering the complete irate diesel standard fuel system unless someone has any other suggestions...I was...

I believe I was in the towing tune. I only have the tunes that come with the PHP I don't have any custom tunes yet. I hooked up my AE to the truck and the hpop numbers look good around town and on the highway. The HPOP was recommended to me along with the 38r and the WW2 by CNC so I trust his...

I guess I should mention my upgrades. I have the 38R with a WW. CNC 4 line fuel kit, replaced every gasket, seal and oring, new VC harness and VC gasket, JWVB, all new fluids, new MB diesel HPOP from CNC, PHP hydra and a few other things that I can't remember since it's 3am where Im at right...

Towards the end of December I had to tow a 5x8 enclosed Uhaul trailer with some boxes to my soon to be ex wife from California to Wisconsin. I wasn't expecting it to be an issue considering the things you guys haul around 5th wheels and horse trailers and big boats. I was kind of worried when...

Thank you, that's the answer I was looking for. I'll add oil to the reservoir and crank it over with glow plugs out and 42 pin connector unplugged.:thumbup:

So then I have to put oil in the reservoir or will the HPOP be fine?

That's what I'm asking is does there need to be oil and all that in the hpop if I just bump the starter? If I do that maybe I'll be more at ease. If I just bump the starter wroth nothing hooked up is that fine? Not trying to break all my hard work doing something I'm not supposed to.

which question is this a response to?

so am I right in assuming the oil just dripped down past the pistons? And since I am still in the process of installing parts do I have to add oil into the reservoir if Im just going to bump the starter?

yeah I did bar it over after I installed the injectors and had glow plugs removed and no sounds of fluid or anything come out of the hole

So I'm in the middle of upgrading pretty much everything on the truck. I pulled the oil rail plug on Friday and used my mighty vac to suck out all the oil in there and then proceeded to remove the rear most injectors to keep majority of the fuel/oil confined to those cylinders. When I removed...
