Sorry its going to be a long post but giving as much info as I can. Ok I just bought this truck about a month ago everything seemed good, only issue I noticed was a little bit of a lopey idle for about 5 seconds on start up. I didnt think much of it because it would clear right up and run fine plus it has 200% nozzles. Anyway fast forward I drove it for about 2 weeks with no issues even had about 13k behind it towing a gooseneck and a skidsteer. Let my brother take it to go pick up a lawn mower he bought and he calls saying it wont start. I had it towed home and the next morning it starts right up. I drove it to work and ran some errands after work making stops at 3 places with about 45 mins of drive time all with no issues restarting. About 3 hours later go to get in and run over a buddys house and no start.
So I've been beating my head against the wall trying to figure this thing out. I thought the hpop took a crap and sent it out to joey but it bench tested fine, turns out my guage was crap. Got a new gauge and got everything back together with a NEW ipr and still no pressure. Mess with the harness and boom pressure. tear the harness apart and sure enough wires were burnt up. I had a spare ipr harness so I put it on and it started building pressure. Slowly built up and finally fired. Took it for a drive and did a couple wot runs and everything seemed normal. Come home, no restart. Thinking ok just need to get the air worked out and Im good. Messed with it for about 2 hours and couldnt get it to build over 320psi. Let it sit over night go out this morning hook up the battery charger and starting cranking and pressure started building. Let the batteries charge for a while and it finally starts again. Icp at idle started off at 628psi at 15% dc, after about 5 mins at idle icp was at 574psi at 16% dc. Go for a drive and cruising icp was at 1235psi at 21% dc. Wot runs were consistent at 36% dc and 2500psi. Come home go to restart and cranking icp was 120psi and dc was at 50%. Go through a couple cycles of cranking and letting it sit and still between 100-150 psi cranking. Also hpop res stays full and dummy gauge shows lpo.
Really didnt want to start a thread but Its really irritating me now and I need help lol. Thinking injector o rings now? maybe a hung up injector?
