Not all P-Pumps are created equal!!!

[@hemibreath]

I done this job many times in my Diesel Shop! Awesome explanation and video 👍👍 Was thinking you missed mentioning the removal of the timing pin O-ring and star washer, then you mentioned it later in the video. Very nice explanation and video ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@Jason-fg4jr]

Brother by saying mentioning the 1st chevy you did we grew up around the same time... lol

[@zeke1eod]

Goes to show determination and hard work pay off. You didn't pass the buck or give some bs answer blowing the customer off. I commend your dedication. Stay safe, and God bless

[@timothymroberts2949]

Once again Dynamite diesel steps up to the plate and solves the problem to better improve the Diesel industry. Top notch work and awesome video

[@StefanWerners]

I got a chuckle out of you identifying the cam profile without needing a reference. Good stuff!!

[@devinmanderson]

Its because of things like this that A) I'm hoarding any and all manuals and factory spec/data sheets I can find B)only trust a small handful of old local retired mechanics and a few aftermarket shops C) take detailed and lengthy notes lots of pics and videos and do as much as I can myself. Its getting old dealing with companies that just rebrand and parts shelf things at a premium. Keep up lenny you guys are great up there looking forward to dropping a set of your injectors in my engine soon.

Fascinating episode, well done getting to the bottom of the problem!! If it's not running right there's got to be a reason, it's not magic !!!!!

[@jason86768]

This video is gold! Really surprised it don't have more views.

[@DynomiteDieselTV]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@horsewhispererr]

Now you finally come out with p pumps... after I had mine built at another shop.. I would have been happy to give you guys my money.

[@DynomiteDieselTV]

It's no secret, we've been talking about it for quite a while now.

[@bryanwelton1442]

So did the customer put another P pump on it and fix the problem?

[@garrittcusack8702]

True 12v Wizardry once again Lenny. Thanks for sharing

[@DynomiteDieselTV]

No problem 👍

[@bradbarnette716]

Thank you for the info and sharing your wisdom/knowledge and experience. What chart were you referencing on the pump lift measurements per degree? And where would one locate one of them?

[@jamesmarlar696]

Ppump great but big learning curve but I love the challenge im old school that way thanks for your help

[@DynomiteDieselTV]

No problem 👍

[@jimkillen1065]

I appreciate your videos. I have a 160 hp 95 and I remember a long time ago I set my timing using the snap on tools and the chart of mm lift for that pump . I set it to 18 dogs of timing. I was told my of folks that's to much ect ect . My mileage went from 16 to 21 on the highway. Some times a bit better but I conservative . I found no down side from the timing set there . That over 20 years ago . Truck had 218 k on it now with a g56 conversion, . I might be interested in a pump at some point if I have problems with my truck . Thanks for the videos

[@DynomiteDieselTV]

You optimized your timing for the RPM range that the truck is most frequently operated in. There's nothing wrong with that!

[@woolmanworkx1144]

Great video as usual 👍🏻

[@DynomiteDieselTV]

Thanks 👍

[@111gregs]

Would slightly warming the gear help by getting it that little further on the taper?

[@DynomiteDieselTV]

Most people don't remove the gear, or timing cover, so how would you warm it?

[@jason86768]

I have a crazy idea: There's two threaded holes on that gear for pulling it off right? Maybe attach stick-welder leads to bolts threaded into those holes, and electrically heat up the tapered bore of the gear (after cleaning thoroughly). Probably way more trouble than it's worth.

[@wadebond7679]

No start up?..or was it not fixed yet

[@user-el4ii7zq6l]

Could you have pinned the pump and had a general idea of the original timing and that would have been close enough to make the truck run properly? Was there no tag on the injection pump.

[@DynomiteDieselTV]

Yes, it would have given us an idea. Unfortunately, this truck had been to multiple other shops before we got our hands on it. It also has the wrong pump cam installed.

[@Thesongstaysthesame]

Shhh. Class is in session!

[@drewsharpe7484]

This is a1 Lenny!

[@DynomiteDieselTV]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@sincitydieselandoffroad9425]

So frustrating when these reman companies mix match components like this! Just like customers getting a “built” 48re with the older / weaker 47 guts. Good work guys!

[@DynomiteDieselTV]

It definitely sucks, and can be a challenge! He'll be back soon for one of our pump builds! 😎

[@bcbloc02]

Throw lift timing chart away, spill port time all pumps. Problem solved.

[@g__wizz]

yooo... how the heck is that things powersteering pump not smoked... thats breaking some pretty basic rules as far as feeding it. how is that even working?

[@ChannelZeroOne]

Seems shady to sell a pump with mix and matched parts. If I was that guy with that pump, I would be pissed at the person or company that sold me that pump.

[@DynomiteDieselTV]

The customer definitely wasn't pleased once we told him what we had discovered, yet thankful to have answers and a better running pickup. He understands that he's on borrowed time with the current pump, and will be coming back for one of our pump builds when he's ready!

[@Mikheno]

Ya know what? P-Pumps are beasts when it comes to making power no doubt. But all things considered since I run about 300hp in a fairly stock '02 HO...I'll just stick with my VP44. That whole job looked like a major PITA!

[@DynomiteDieselTV]

It was definitely a challenge! There's nothing wrong with a VP44, we still have several in our fleet that we use for testing purposes!

[@torysukut9692]

Haha thought I was the only person that used the word "mechanicing".

[@DynomiteDieselTV]

You thought wrong! 😄

[@TheProchargedmopar]

Some 1.5x $5 reading glasses from Lowes does wonders. I'm 51 and just found out 6mo ago. I was thinking dang china keeps making that fine print smaller and smaller. lol🥸

[@DynomiteDieselTV]

Lenny has several pairs scattered throughout the shop! HAHA!

[@BustersMotorsports]

Get a diesel timing light. Saves you lots of time and trouble.

[@hemibreath]

Don’t say P-Pump 😂 👍
