Sorry to hear that man. Hit up Coach with a pm. He is an absolute magician on all vehicles and is as straight of a shooter as you will ever meet. He will treat you fair.
The challenge with that is getting it from Packwood to Seattle....

I would post on dieselplace.com/forum in the section that applies to your year of truck. You might get some suggestions to follow up on. I know there are some fuel lines that can have issues in my year of Duramax which is a 2003.thank you

Only leaks when its pressurized
have someone turn it over when you are under the hood. Make sure to wear glasses and keep your mouth closed. Turn it over and you will find your leak. Could be a really easy fix.

we have done that, this mechanic has a mirror and small camera he uses to look inside valves. He's trying one more timeOnly leaks when its pressurized

Them are rebuildable. Expensive to replace though.
Maybe blew a freeze plug out of the pump?

. I'm glad aaa worked out . I will get a look in the next few days and see if you need to find a banker ! :chuckle: I saw one of those trucks in a magazine once and I'm purdy sure i can fix it .
Post by: trophyhunt on June 04, 2015, 06:21:15 AM
As I recall them trucks have the same Bosch cp3 high pressure pump a Dodge cummins has, with just some slight difference. That and I don't believe Chevy runs a lift pump like dodge does. Pretty sure they let the Bosch do all the pumping.That's what the mechanic told me in Packwood, he found pieces of metal with his magnet where the pump is. He now thinks the pump is broke, and it is a cp3 pump. It is being towed today to Coach's shop, this has been a real bummer but I heard coach is a magician with vehicles so I feel a bit better. The Auburn dealer wanted 2,707 to fix it! :yike: Thanks to coach for taking on this job, I know he is very busy. :tup:

I'm having to replace injectors on my 04 GMC 2500 diesel and I went ahead and put a lift pump on it first.
Post by: trophyhunt on July 07, 2015, 10:16:45 AM
Was it the cp3?. might look at getting a aftermarket lift pump when you have the cash. It keeps the injector pump from having to work so hard. It also filters air and water from the diesel fuel. The stock filtration sytem only filters to about five micron but a aftermarket lift pump will filter to two micron.what did it cost?

Actually the AC Delco (Racor) is a 2 micron coalescing filter. So not only do they do a great job of filtering the fuel they also trap and keep water from getting into your system. The stock filters are as good as they get. That's all I run. By the way. A lot of people swear by WIX filters. But their fuel filters for the Duramax are lousy. Tons of info on this stuff over on the duramax forum. The Air Dog and Fass pumps do help with the lift pumps. But they are also known to have their own problems.

The stock air filter is as good as it get for filtration and flow up to 500 hp too. A lot of guys like to run KN filters. But they aren't a good filter for diesels and let a lot of crud through.

I put the CAT Filter adapter on my 2003. The CAT filters are cheap and much easier to spin on.

What do you use to trap the water?
Post by: HntnFsh on July 07, 2015, 08:31:41 PM
I don't trust a system that's suppose to filter water and fuel in the same filter especially with the injector issues lb7 engines have
I do. The factory filters were upgraded because of the issues with the LB7 injectors. After spending how many 10s of millions of dollars on replacing injectors for people do you think GM would take a chance on using an inadequate filter, again? Then throw in the millions more they probably spent with racor coming up with an improved filter. I feel pretty good about them. Especially after doing a lot of research.
Also, don't forget the LB7 injectors are a lot different than the newer ones. Newer model injector issues are few and far between.

Well, coach has diagnosed my problem, injector pump broke inside!
I've replaced a few injector pumps in my work trucks over the years (all 7.3 L Internationals in various forms) and I remember having one do the same as yours. Start the truck up and it would just dump the fuel all over the place.
Injector pumps aren't cheap, but they're cheaper than a new truck. Even with the added expense of fuel and repairs a diesel will pay for it's self if you keep it long enough and take good care of it. If nothing else, a few big repair jobs on a diesel engine will make replacing a $3000 transmission in a smaller car look like a pretty good deal! :chuckle:
Glad you found a good mechanic. They're hard to find sometimes but worth every penny when you need them!

Well said, with the cost of new trucks this will be my last big rig.60,000.00 for new ?? They are fn crazy! And finding a mechanic that is honest is priceless!
Ya Coach is my hunting buddy, but he is as honest as they come. I've seen him work on numerous cars that he could have billed the customer for 5 hours but only charged them for two!!!! That is rare to find..

she purrs like a kitten ! now I just need to get her to stop !
:chuckle: I had a truck do that to me one time too. I had to manually disengage the fuel shutoff solenoid on a 5.9L Cummins that just wouldn't turn off. I told the driver that he should just reach up in there and disengage it at every stop, but he didn't like that idea. It started like a champ though! :tup:

Wow! Fortunately that's an easy fix. Those trucks are known for getting 150,000 -200,000 miles out of the original pads. What pads have you had good luck using as replacements?

That is an interesting article about filters, as coach said, I do change my filter on a regular basis. The article is mostly talking about injectors, my problem was the Pump. It didn't mention much about the pump but I'm sure the water not only kills injectors but pumps as well? I wish the duramax had a simple way to drain water out of the system, I think you can remove the bottom plug on the filter and let some fluid run out but that is a messy job. Hopefully my injectors are good for a long time, we will see.
Seems pretty easy on my 06. You can buy a kit to install on your fender well that allows good access. You have to cut a piece out of your fender well and install the filler plate. Think a couple screws. Makes for real easy access for filter changes etc.
