    Help with Noise at Idle

    I took the bolt out and there is no space to put a washer between the two the were sandwiched together pretty good. I ran it for a min or so with no bolt to see if anything would want to settle and not bind up. Looked the same so I put a washer on the bolt and ran it back in and made sure it was...

    Ok. Maybe I’ll go in there, remove the bolt and put a small washer between the down pipe tab and the up pipe bracket. This would space them out enough and create a solid contact right.

    Help with Noise at Idle

    Just to clarify this is where I originally put a tiny bit of wd-40 and it went away. I also adjusted the hose clamp just to ensure it was not touching the up pipe so there’s plenty of clearance there and the v band I double checked it was tight as well. To the point I thought it was going to...

    Help with Noise at Idle

    Ok went out on lunch and was grabbing and prying all around. Finally was able to affect the sound by prying between the down and up pipes. So I focused on that bracket connecting the two. Everything looked solid, nothing touching and was tight. So I said F it and shot a little wd-40 on the bolt...

    Help with Noise at Idle

    It has a MBRP down pipe so no heat shield but the support bracket to the up pipe is a possibility. Now gotta figure out how to test they. Heater hose I don’t know where that would be either but I thought those were rubber?

    Haha. I’ve tried grabbing everything I could think of in that area thinking the same thing couldn’t find anyway to alter the sound. Exhaust leak huh. Would that only be at idle and not under pressure down the road.

    Help with Noise at Idle

    Wasn’t sure if this was the right place or not so feel free to move Admin if not. Here’s a video I took from the passenger side wheel well. This higher pitch sound is driving me nuts. I have no idea what or where it is coming from. It’s only at idle and you can here it go away with throttle...

    Lift Pump and Sump Install Issues

    Nice. Thanks. I’m actually going to run a fuel pressure gauge in the cab off of the lift pump as the FASS has a port to run off of. This will give me pump psi out put and the CTS2 will monitor the rail pressures.

    Lift Pump and Sump Install Issues

    Got it all back together. Rail pressure actual matches the requested and the lift pump isn’t making the cavitation noise anymore. When I punch it i maintains about 21-22k psi with no fall of. I was going to throw in a PPE rail plug while I was at it but I realized my glow plug module bracket...

    Lift Pump and Sump Install Issues

    Ok was able to drain the tank. Thought my boat oil sump was going to be able to suck it all out but after about 5 gallons it started smoking. It’s a lil cheapo oil change sump pump so I don’t think there is enough in diesel to lube it. No worries. Pulled the hose off the sump I installed and two...

    Lift Pump and Sump Install Issues

    Fml the sound is back from the pump. I think I’m going to have to pull the sump off and see what’s going on. Of course I have 3/4 of a tank

    Lift Pump and Sump Install Issues

    I ran the “bucket test” after talking to the folks at FASS and the sound went away. The surging didn’t but the sound did. So that led me to believe something was would be wrong with the supply side. I noticed when I took the hose off the sump and slide a cap on to plug the tank, fuel did come...

    Lift Pump and Sump Install Issues

    Ok got a cheap fuel pressure gauge for now to test the lift pump. It’s at or over 10 psi. Here are some videos of the gauge and the sound both running and just key on. I pulled the inlet hose from filter head in the engine bay and had suction on my finger when I pumped the primer. So just in...

    Lift Pump and Sump Install Issues

    Another thing I noticed is that plunger to prime the fuel above the stock filter housing was able to press down a few pumps. My understanding is this should be and should stay rock hard once primed right? I shouldn’t be able to press it down at all? It’s hard to tell the amount of pressure...

    Lift Pump and Sump Install Issues

    Ok I tried to test the pressure at the shrader valve by the alternator but none of the fittings in the fuel pressure tester kit at the local autozone fit. It’s def different than what I’m used to so not sure if diesels use a special gauge and fitting?

    Lift Pump and Sump Install Issues

    Oh no I don’t have a gauge on that. Not even sure where I would put one?

    Lift Pump and Sump Install Issues

    On the CTS2 it shows at idle right around 5k. While going down the road it’s high teens and in the 20s for sure. Not sure exact other than idle right now. But I know idle is 4.8 to 5 pretty steady. I believe that’s in the normal range right?

    Nope. No kinks in the line. All connections are tight so it should be sealed up

    Lift Pump and Sump Install Issues

    Here’s a few pics of the install I took from when I thought everything was all good haha. I even cut down some cheap mud flaps to fit in the rear wheel wells to protect it since I used the bed bolt close to the wheel so I could tuck it higher up.
