    Choosing exhaust system

    When you say the manifold flanges, are you saying the exhaust manifolds before the cats? Or after the cats where there is that flange with both of them on it. My truck had the dual exhaust up to the muffler stock btw. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Choosing exhaust system

    Sorry guys, didn’t see the exhaust section until right after i posted this. I don’t know how to move it, I’m not the best with the whole forum thing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Choosing exhaust system

    Hey all, it’s about time for me to finally fix my “temporary exhaust” on the truck. At the moment, the truck is running a system with about 11 exhaust leaks that only cost me about $10 is some clamps and then i pieced some things together. I know some people at a shop that do really good work...

    I will try that when i get home. I remember now the shop telling me they put a new one in they had because it was doing the same thing. I wonder if it is the actual line where the abraded valve goes into that is leaking. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    So about a month ago i bought a new truck and kind of gave up on the Chevy for a little. When we finally had a warm day i got the Chevy running and almost back to normal. My only problem now, it still has the hard start but it starts every time. It’s just a long crank on it. Also, as I’m...

    That would make sense cause there’s one that keeps popping out, maybe it isn’t aligned right. It’s too cold right now but I’ll mess with it tomorrow hopefully. Thank you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Okay i think I’ve got it figured out now. So when i put the fuel lines back in we had the hold down bracket upside down. The return line was not tight and ended up popping out. No matter what i do i cannot get it all the way in. The fuel lines will not get far enough down to get the nuts on. I...

    I thought i had it in the engine performance and maintenance section. Sorry I’m new to the whole forum thing. Voltage at the pump is 12.47 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Is there supposed to be something hooked up to the regulator on that piece that comes off of it? Everything i said in my last update has kind of changed. Now the truck has 72 psi with the return line blocked off and it will hold pressure all day long with the truck off if i leave it blocked...

    Also it will not hold pressure but still starts just fine. Pressure will drop just as quick. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Okay so i replaced the injectors which had the new regulator on it too. When i had it opened up there was a lot of carbon buildup towards the front of the engine and cylinder 1 and 3 were extremely bad with about 1/4” of stuff built up. Spent about 45 minutes and had it looking like new again...

    I’m going to try and find a way to test just the pump like you said too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Okay so just trying things again that the shop did, i blocked off the return line and had the guage where i could see it while driving. It will be at 62 psi idling and when i give it gas it will drop to 50. Its much better with the return line blocked but still not 100% I’m thinking I’m going to...

    It’s to the point now you have to have someone spraying ether in a vacuum line until it idle how it should for it to start. Just tried the ether trick around the intake gasket and everything to see if that was leaking and there was no change at all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    It never goes above 50 no matter what. When i turn the key on it jumps up to like 48 and when i turn key back off it goes down slowly but enough where you can see it going down. Like 5 psi a minute. It will drop all the way back to zero. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Sorry for the multiple replies Just trying to add information that might help. When i had the tank out it was perfectly clean, looked like a brand new gas tank. I was surprised for a 20 year old truck that sat for 4 years. When i replaces the fuel pumps i replaces the entire assembly both times...

    Okay so i found the terminal on the relay that i needed and used a jumper like you said. I went under the truck and i was getting 12.47 volts at the pump which is the exact same as the battery. Also that ground is clean and has a new bolt On it too cause i snapped the old one when i had the bed...

    So i went to test the fuel pressure again myself and it is at 50 and won’t go higher. Went to swap the relay and the truck runs the exact same at 50 psi with no relay in it at all??? How does that even make sense. When you were talking about where i could energize the pump is this just by doing...

    So the shop thought it was crankshaft sensor so they replaced that and it didn’t fix it. They can’t figure out why the fuel pressure isn’t acting right. Like i said, fuel pump has been replaced twice now. The fuel pressure would be at like 40 and it would start with it. Something you will have...
