Quick rundown on this. I had my dual CP3 fail and blow a freeze plug out of the side a month back. Since mileage is unknown to me, and the guy I bought my motor from can’t seem to give me a straight answer on this kind of stuff, I decided instead of throwing a new CP3 at it, I would test the CP3 in the valley. I put the stock belt back on, capped off the high pressure and low pressure side, and ran the truck. It was running pretty good on a single pump for a around 50 miles. Cruising to work last Friday, noticed the oil pressure was low, and dropping fast. The low oil pressure light came on and the truck stalled within the matter of a mile of noticing this. Got it pulled off a main street and tried to restart, wouldn't even crank over one turn. So I thought maybe the battery? Got a new battery and it had enough juice to crank it up. Oil pressure was sitting at 10psi, so I shut it down and check the oil. Way over filled, so I took a clean paper towel and did a fuel test. Lots of fuel in the oil. I couldn’t leave the truck on the side of the road so I drove it a mile down the road to a parking lot where I had it towed.
My buddy and I did a lot of digging through old threads, and are thinking the valley CP3 has failed and is filling the crankcase with fuel. What are the chances that two CP3's at almost the exact same time? Its almost to coincidental. There’s nothing else in the fuel system really. Is there a restriction somewhere that I’m missing? I’m almost positive everything was put together right. What is causing the pumps to blow up in the first place? I’m running out of patience for this damn truck
