[@AtlasLathe]

I have always wondered why no one rebuilds their own injector pumps, this explains it.

[@pdmustgtd1013]

Not big deal with injection pumps. Biggest problems are governor fly weights they wear and also timing advance fly wheels. Weights are always moving in and out against thrust plate they wear into it. Hanging idle, not smooth rpm or wear very badly and engine can run away. Mechanical engine kept shops busy about every 2 yrs you where in there replacing them. Or like many never fix them and engine runs poorly or runs away (BOOM engine goes)

[@asapeek4981]

I really like it when he goes into details about stuff. I liked the rebuild of the fuel pump. That's really cool.

[@stacylangford8015]

I was a 24 year old kid who grew up mostly in Alabama, who loved to drive a truck. 1986 I picked up a load of air freight at Dulles, straight to South San Francisco airport. I had a backhaul in Compton to load the next day, so I had plenty of time to get there. Old Freightliner with the huge hood, faded grey paint , broke passenger vent window, the steering pulled really hard every time you went past a junkyard. I tooling down i 5, just past the Taft exit when that fuel advance self destructed. It didn't break the front cover of the engine (which was not unusual),but Inland Kenworth couldn't locate the problem until they had charged over 6k in labor, dissembling and testing. I stayed in Bakersfield over 3 weeks ! I still love to drive a truck! Full time local. Thanks for the video! Good memories!

When I was in high school shop the teacher invited somebody in with a giant yellow CAT mounted on a trailer, setup to start and run as a demonstration. When he started it the wind blew and it smoked so much we all had to go running out of the shop to breathe. I've loved diesels ever since. :)

I loved the hand pump because my fuel gauge didn't work and i ran out of fuel. Yes it drank the fuel.

Good morning, I do like your idea of priming your oil system...great idea & worthy one, I do remember when Cat went from the mechanical to electronic injection pump....not much of a COE guy, but you did buy a nice KW...I always liked the KW interiors, in the late 1980's I started working at a Pete dealer in Michigan for about 10 years, then went to a Western Star dealer...then the back surgeries started...you know what happened then...career change...sold all of my "big" tools, had a couple antique trucks, they went too...now I have a worse hobby...Hot Rods.....be safe, God Bless!!!!

It's interesting how different some things are around the world. So US and canadian truckers don't like cabovers anymore but here in europe nearly every truck is a cabover. It's caused by laws, there are maximum lengths of truck and trailer, so cabovers allow more load capacity.

[@johngoldsmith6629]

The engine you have looks like a 7FB50000 to 4MG03599 maybe. The pump you got is for a 4MG03600 and up. Your VTU is not the same. Also your engine looks like it's around a 350 HP. You should have a number on top of the pump and the end of the fuel camshaft to see if pump is compatible. I will need your full engine serial number to know for sure what you got. Don't lap the spacers, replace them they are cheap. If the bushings are the old style, replace them with the new style. You need to update the VTU carrier, it will slip. You have the old style and your engine will run retarded. As I said before your timing most likely is not going to be the same as you installed a different type of pump. It is not a higher HP pump, you have different year model pumps. You also need to recheck your bolt and pin timing after you set static timing. It can change if you have wear in the gears or did not have the timing advance seated properly.
