plain and simple fuel pump went out on F250. so im fixing it.. all the while trying to sell it...

had spark, had air... wouldnt push fuel.. throw some fuel down carb it'd fire up... and then try to get it to fire up again.. nothing.. no fuel coming past fuel pump..

Not really a hard job. Why in the world are you wanting to sell it? Are u never satisfied? lol

I know i stepped out of truck when i realized i would be commuting a minimum of 50 miles a day.

Better it went now than having some 10 foot tall gorilla *****in at you because it died on the way to its new home

The fuel pump on that should literally be $20 and about 15 minutes (excluding drive time to the parts store) to complete...cheaper if you have a Carter or Holley that blew a diaphragm and is rebuildable. Other potential causes...cheap fuel line is collapsing on itself not allowing flow...or you have a hidden fuel filter somewhere along the frame rail that's clogged. Potentially worse...a damaged fuel eccentric...in which case, go electric pump for the sale...but a cheapy from Autozone will run you $40-50.

Yeah fuel pump was 16.99 at oreilly's... took 20 minutes...

Out of tank pump?

yeah... side of motor.. runs off eccentric on timing chain...

Like so:

Exactly......... thanks for the pic Ben

Are those pictures of an engine of yours, Ben?
Have you had it overhauled since then, or what?

My guess is there's an added 2 degrees of cam
timing -retard- in that worn timing-set.

Cool!

It'd be cool to have a stroker kit in a 351w. ...383w or 408w either one.

The ~135k '91 Bronco 351w engine I took apart the same way, had much
less slack and -> way <- cleaner inside than that engine. The oil hadn't
been kept changed worth anything on that 351m engine at some point. :/

Keep in mind that engine was really only running on 5 cylinders...it was in bad shape when I got it...and decided to let it go til it died and seized...10k of hard driving, lots of trips through the mountains back and forth to school. Eventually the truck sank to double digit hp and tq numbers and I decided to put out to pasture...and sold it as a core to a buddy.

I fiNgured that.

Seems like it's easy to get a 4wd that's in real good shape out here,
maybe because they aren't needed so they're seen as just toys. ??
