HERE ARE THE SYMPTOMS...ANY IDEAS?

[taylorking]

Symptoms:

• Idles rough when warmed up...
• Will NOT crank back after warmed up (has to be ethered, and yes i know...)
• Used a gallon of oil in approx. 800 miles. (No leaks, no blue smoke)

Checked/Replaced:

• Replaced CPS
• Rerplaced PCM
• Changed oil
• Dranied fuel filter housing into a jar, and no oil in there.
• All fuses and relays gone over

From what I've heard it could be the hpop.

SCUFFY828 if you see this, I mentioned bringing the truck up there to you to diagnose, but my dad is stubborn and is determined to find out for himself. Sorry bud

Judging by the lose of oil i would say injector o rings.

I would agree I had the same problems really hard to crank especially in the cold and I burned through a gallon of oil in 300 miles so I would definitely say its the o-rings. its not uncommon and I had to have them replaced after 120,000 miles so I would think that is your problem

[nic0084]

thinkin the same here...

[taylorking]

the truck won't start on its own, it has to be ethered. If this is what u guys meant when u said it was hard to crank then i agree.

What explains the rough idle?

[DriversDiesel]

If your o rings have gone south they are not allowing the engine to pressurize with oil. That would cause a rough idle.

ok is it easy to change the o-rings? Anything we need to look out for while doing them?

[DriversDiesel]

They're not too bad to do. Heres a good write up. http://www.beansdieselperformance.co...torinstall.pdf
