Our 2008 f350 needed bow thrusters to help it turn, what a pain. Wife totaled it out and whoever buys it at auction is gonna get a hell of a deal. New 6.4, turbos fuel pumps studded with aftermarket heads, radiator, transmission. New driveshafts and shocks. All with less than 35k on it. Chassis...

We recently went used truck shopping since my wife totaled out our 1 ton and decided to go back to a 1/2 ton. Looked at a real nice 2022 chevy. Seen it had a 6.2 and walked away. It's still there. Engine sounded good but not gonna take the risk.

Hot as hell here in SW MI also. 90's suck. Went to the beach last night with the wife and it was mid 70's. Felt good and a spectacular sunset.

Update: I replaced the fuel filter and added a fuel additive and today it ran as advertised. Old filter had maybe 15 hours on it but things fail..

That was a big part of the problem. Our old agent was great, he was johny on the spot any time any problem was brought up. He retired. This new jack wagon is MIA. Can't get ahold of him. We stop in there and he's always gone. Doesn't return calls, etc The secretary who does her best swears he...

It's not the fact they totalled it out. Older truck, parts could be find, etc. The fact it took 3 weeks to get someone to physically look at it ( body shop said an adjuster for them lives 5 miles down the road) and they told my wife that we made them mad and they will screw with us ( in no...

That's why I'm naming state farm. Accidents happen but this kind of treatment is unwarranted.

Got word beginning of last week they are totalling out our 2008 f350 after my wife wrecked it. This whole process has been going on for 5 weeks. For the last week, they are giving us every reason in the world not to give us a pay out. State farm has never done us wrong until now. They told my...

Thanks guys. Alot of good options to check. This weekend I'll start with new filter and check pressure.

Thanks. I'll check it out and see what I get. Figured pressure was pretty low since typical hose clamps were used. Went out tonight and checked in the filter drain, no water.

Honestly, I've never used the fuel bulb.

Wife is on her way to property now to get firewood. I told her to take a pic.

Didn't think about the vent. Everything has to breath and sometimes the small things get overlooked. That's why sites like this are helpful

Been going through my maintenance manual and it basically only covers the injection pump and injectors. I know the pressure it's supposed to put to the injectors but doesn't give a feed pressure to the pump. Gotta do more research on that. 10 year old machine, has 1500 hours on it and even...
