    Brake issues

    Do you hear or see the air at the master cylinder? Is the pedal hard or soft and does it sink when constently pushed held in posistion? Did you bleed the whole system when you were done?

    Blown fuse on the 10 amp Ign, & Ecm location in fuse block.

    So does it pop the fuse while being parked and running?? Or just while driving?? If its while driving only I would think its a wire near the block shorting out around or near the exhaust manifold. Check the cam posistion sensor located in the back top by the dist along with the CPS located in...

    Need correct PSI reading at fuel pressure rail.

    A simple 2.50 LED is great for doing testing of signals being transmited from point to point. Makes testing very simple.

    Need correct PSI reading at fuel pressure rail.

    Yup, bought it and installed now the truck is running smoothly.... Did some testing and using an LED 12V figured out what was wrong.

    Blown fuse on the 10 amp Ign, & Ecm location in fuse block.

    Check your Crank posistion sensor located in the front PS of the engine just below the timing cover. Somtimes the wires can get shorted out near the block and will blow the fuse.

    Looking to replace fuel pump.

    If you guys just screw two right angle pieces of aluminum under the bed and let it hang just past the new opening you can just screw that hatch right back into place..

    Need correct PSI reading at fuel pressure rail.

    Ok, I am ruling out the fuel problem and test confirms this by pressure readings of 63PSI when key turned on but not starting engine and a dropp off to 58PSI very slowly 5mins. I have no spark and think its the coil. I tried to test for power out of the coil and have nothing, tried reading...

    Looking to replace fuel pump.

    The reason to remove the bed is to overview the entire area plus be able to remove the pump straight out. Check the Nappa web site for details on the pump just leaving work now so I will check when I get home..

    Need correct PSI reading at fuel pressure rail.

    Im starting to think it might be ignition issues and the rain. We had a heavy rain over night and when my truck angled down the driveway I let it sit for a sec to get all the water out of the bed and when I went for the gas it died. NOW thinking back a month or so when it was Reaelly humid out I...

    Need correct PSI reading at fuel pressure rail.

    Funny thing is I was on my way to get gas then work. It was just above E when it happened but was only running for about 3mins before it died. I have heard about this from guys that work at Nappa when I bought my last pump and tank replacement..

Then I removed both radiator hoses and put a reducer on the lower hose to get a little pressure not much to flush the radiator of muck till complete. Then from the upper...
