I got a pdf file attached to it.

Fuel dampener is behind the fuel filter, it's in a really ugly spot.

From his diagnosis, it is can also be the gear pump. 37 psi is too low while cranking. Mine is well above 60 psi. He noted the damper was leaking too, so it could be either, but a leaky component is not good at all. You did not see the fuel leaking all over the place and things getting wet?????

Also you are using baldwin filters. NEVER EVER USE BALDWIN FILTERS IF YOU VALUE YOUR ENIGNE - ESPECIALLY THEIR OIL FILTERS!!!

i couldnt tell if the filter was leaking or what, i wasnt aware of this damper till the guy informed me about it. how can i check psi my self with out going to the shop?, would it be a good idea to check the gear pump as well? if so how do i go about checking it?

jesus christ man.... when this rain passes, im going to change the oil filter and get a fleet guard ASAP.
