Take the solenoid out and check the tip of the plunger. I bet you chipped it. Pushed enough fuel with the cone out that it ripped the rubber on the tip when you let off. You can put it in a drill and sand it down smooth again, but if you push lots of fuel it will do it again.

The other option is to remove the plunger and spring and hook a cable to the manual lever on the side of the pump.

so i basicly need to turn the pump back down to keep sds's in it or just jerry rig a manual cable?...i really dont like either of those ideas but i guess i will just turn the truck back down what do the guys like urself and tworline bgilbert do with there high hp trucks do u guys use a cable? or are u using the electric sds? thanks dj

[RumbleFish]

if it were me, id turn the pump back down, or look for hp somewhere else. i despise the pull cable idea.

[rattlebox93]

yeah i despise the pull cable my truck is way!!! to nice for that....i guess i need some bigger sticks then before i do to much i thought 235hp with a stock truck with cooler tubz and homade intake was pretty dam good tho lol

What's not nice about a pull cable? Mine looks factory and comes in handy all the time, not to mention it's more reliable and means that there is no electrical problem that can stall my engine, and that it opens up the shut-off solenoid port for a pressure gauge.

personal preference. just like i dont care for mustard, tomatos, or the head games women play. for the love of god, all i want is a cheseburger with onion pickles lettuce ketchup and mayo, and a wife that doesnt belong in a mental institution. is that so difficult????

You expect too much!

[PToombs]

Ace is right!

Rattlebox, bigger injectors don't chip the tips as bad as stockers. It's the backwash from when you let off that chips it. If you let off slow, (if you can remember it!) it won't do it. I cleaned the rubber off mine, welded up the small hole in the tip, and run it like that. Another guy I know welded a small nut to the end to keep the original length of the plunger. Mine still "diesels" to a halt every now and then, but usually it shuts right off.

My sds quit on me too after I had my pump rebuilt. I just said the heck with it and put a $14 cable on. Why does a guy wanna remove the rubber tip and spring if your running a cable?

[Firstgen1]

the same thing happened to my truck this weekend, where do you guys put the manuel shut off cable?

thanks

[PToombs]

You remove those parts so they don't get in the way. More rubber can erode off and plug things up downstream.


The cable goes on the lever on the fender sider just below the AFC housing.

[Firstgen1]

ok, where do you guys put it in the cab

thanks

I put one where the power mirror switch is on LE trucks, and one beside the piece under the steering column that holds the fuse box, there is about an inch of flat space that is sqaure with the dash.

Yup, shutoff solenoid is bad. Shave down the edges like some of the other members have suggested.
