    Finally got my 1st diesel... where do I start?

    Also, is there a thread with someone else's step by step, or something close that I can try to follow?

    Finally got my 1st diesel... where do I start?

    Well I'm going to have some free time coming up in a few days and I was wondering if I should stay away from the new gaskets or if that should be the side to do. Did you see the picture of the balance rates?

    Do you guys think I should pull the driver side or passenger side valve cover off 1st to take a peak? The passenger side looks to have someone in there already and closed it up with new gaskets...

    The 1st picture I posted is the 122 sensor that isnt clipped to anything but has a hose going to the intake I believe. The 2nd picture is that relay I pulled out... that whole unit isn't bolted to anything, just laying there. Looks like 2 bolts, with metal sleeves, could be a ground for that...

    Ok so maybe the plastic cover comes off to expose that fuse. What sensor "needs to be back where it should be"? The truck came with an Edge CS is the glovebox. When I plugged it in, it said there was no CELs and that it was on economy level. Is there a way to tell it there are blocker plates...

    Yes thank you Tom (and others). I haven't had time to wrench lately, I got a cousin's funeral and a son's birthday to deal with and my girlfriend just got discharged from the hospital today. I have a lot going on right now, as I'm sure everyone does. A little slack is much appreciated! I...

    WOW! Some of you sound like a bunch of freaking Nazis (no offense)! But you guys are like pissed off at me for not just blindly throwing thousands of dollars at your favorite place!! All I wanted was a few options to weigh in a free market... I dont think anybody even mentioned anything...

    I understand you get what you pay for, but most stuff in this country (and others) is just simply overpriced! Wheither it's from an expensive company with a name that everyone trusts or an unknown company, everything is overpriced these days... Especially diesel stuff. Like, I can get ARP head...

    Finally got my 1st diesel... where do I start?

    Thanks for the measurements, thats what I was looking for. There's no black market or cheaper way to find injectors? I dont even care if they're brand spanking new, they just need to work and not leak.. Is there anyone who upgraded their injectors and has their stockers laying around?? Is...

    Here's what I forgot to ask... I see internal filters for a shallow pan and a deep pan... How do I know which one I have?

    Finally got my 1st diesel... where do I start?

    $2k for fuel injectors is the cheapest around?? OMG! My trans has a white Napa filter on it now, with no magnet. I assume I can get another magnet... GM says it doesnt need an internal filter until rebuild, I guess its safe insurance tho. Hopefully the pan gasket isn't trashed up too bad.

    Finally got my 1st diesel... where do I start?

    Now, Im still doing research on what injectors to get, from where, how many, and how to do the swap (or maybe have someone else do it... I'm poor tho and I know the labor is crazy), but in the meantime, I want to move on to the trans. I know everyone is going to use something different, but...

    So I got the AC Delco on, zero issues. Took about 150 pumps to get the air out. Took about 8 seconds to fire up, then it took about 6 or 7 seconds for EOP to move at all. It's up to 61-71 at idle, higher wit RPMs. That all sounds about normal right?? No engine knocks or anything like that...

    You're probably right. Going the cheap route usually asks for extra problems. An AC Delco should be in my hands tonight.
