Frmconcrete09 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 We had a freight shaker doing similar to what your talking about .. I then spotted a leak on the pump out of what I guess was a vent. Anyway we took the pump off and had it rebuilt and it cured all 3 problems , not sure if yours is the same . Ours was a big cam cummins 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theakerstwo Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 May be sucking air but its easy to check. If you dont have a sight glass then make one. If the supply hose to the pump is a # 10 straflex then get two swivels andremove the thimble that screws on to the hose and dischard them. Go to the lumber yard or hardware store and buy some clear hose that will go over the fittings and then put a clamp over the hose. Put it inline at different places to look for air bubbles in the fuel when running half throdle.If you can find it then pull the tackometer cable off of the fitting its screwed on the pump.With the engine running maybe 1500 pour some fuel into the opening were the tack cable was and then watch for it to be sucked in side.Also put a little bit of luber plate or white lub in the weep hole of the front drive cover of the pump.Watch for it to be sucked in side. This can be done with engine running and bend the clear plastic hose over and pull a restriction on the hose from the pump.This will make it suck in faster.If you find the problem then post back with the details and maybe it can be repaired on the truck. glenn Quote glenn akers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
