Re: 87 V20 D/D and Road trip Burb
Well, things sometimes to wrong. In my case, more than less.
My diesel has been slowly running worse and worse. I replaced the lift pump and that helped a little. I was not seeing any bubbles in the return. It would miss in mid range rpm, it was hard to start warm, and randomly roal coal.
I sent out the injectors and injection pump.
2 injectors failed the test and the pump looks to have water damage inside.
How is that possible with only 42k on new parts?
I run a racor setup with water seperator. I changed fuel filters with every other oil change. I rarely had water in the collection bowl. I wonder if my racor setup is not the best?
At around $1100. I am going to reevaluate my situation. I am getting tired of the constant battle with this motor. Parts are a pita to source.
Big D is going to get parked for a bit while I decide what to do. I am over spending $300-1000 every time something goes wrong.
Any suggestions on how to keep mice/rats out of the engine bay and heater ducting.
