I was just wondering because a lot of people on here make posts on their problems but when they find the cure to the issue they never post back on how they found the cure.

Any luck with fixing your truck?

If you do that then you maybe buying someone else's problems. Like what it sounds like you have already done with this truck. I would look into how much it would cost to do the repair and do it yourself, if you're not real confident then buy some beers and have some people come over that know...

The new one probably wasnt programmed to your truck, that's more than likely why it wasn't communicating. On the new trucks if you replace the pcm you have to take the truck to someone that can program the pcm to every drivetrain related system on your truck otherwise everything gets confused...

The murphys gas station local to my hometown is not a truck stop but i often see semis dump trucks and diesel pickups fill up there so i prefer there. If not then theres another gas station in my town that is the home base of a semi truck company and I use them as well

Get your fuel from places that fill there in ground tanks often 10 times out of 10 they'll have the best fuel. It doesn't have to be a truck stop necessarily but a place where you see any kind of diesel vehicle fill up at quite often

I think dual stock pumps will be enough for your injectors but I may be wrong I'm not real sure

You could make or have made a bracket to hold the 2 pumps and fuel filter and fuel water separator

The regulated return I think goes in place of the fuel filter bowl.

There isnt, the pump on sd and excursions are on the frame rail ( or so I think I could be wrong)on obs they're on the motor.

That is not a regulated return system that is a fuel lift pump that helps get the fuel from the tank so the regular fuel pump doesn't strain as much when you go wot and demand more fuel from the pump (well that's my theory anyway on why they sell these products but I do know for sure that it...

Also while you have the engine out you want to go ahead and take a look at the flywheel and clutch/torque converter. If you have a manual transmission go ahead and replace the clutch while you have the motor unless you know for sure that the clutch is still good. Because it is a pain to do it...

What happened to your original motor? Depending on how it went you could buy the takeout and check compression on it look for any obvious leaks and damage and check the condition of the main engine harness, and install it in your truck for now and then while you have the original out of the...

Plus there ain't nothing more satisfying than an old dinosaur keeping up and or beating the newer trucks

You could buy a newer truck but it all depends on how the previous owner or owners took care of it. That's one of the problems I'm running into with mine when I got my truck it had 166k miles on it but it had blowby even then which tells me the previous owners did not take care of it at all...

Its completely up to you man, honestly I would say do the rebuild and while you're in there fix any other issue that you may have as well. My truck runs but has lots of blowby for only having 186k miles. So I'm gonna have mine replaced with a known good running engine and build it to 400rwhp as...

Why cant you just take one axle out from under the and put the other under? Unless I'm wrong and very well could be to me it seems easier to swap complete axles vs pulling gears from one and putting it in the other. And then you only have to concentrate on freshening things up for your new axle.

Ok then it wont be to bad then mine is a manual so it will make a huge difference when I go for a higher geared rearend

Nice! You learn something new everyday

Is your truck auto or manual?
