Isx wont start

Waterloo,
Could not agree more with you. I didnt want to do the work in the first place. To make a long story short...I run trucks of my own with drivers in them. Work for him in my spare time making extra money while my trucks were out. I didnt dictate what happened in that particular situation. I'm a boss to my trucks, but as an employee to him, not his. If the guy says this is what we are doing sadly I was in no position to argue. I don't believe it was right and we all know there will be trauma down the road. I explained why it was wrong, what could happen and how highly against it I was. But in the interest of his wallet he didnt wanna hear it.

I can completely understand where you are coming from because I have been there. My first truck was a 3406e poorly built and maintained and left me new to the business with a shi#t setup and broke all the time trying to keep going. It's a terrible place to be. So I do understand.

I dont take it personal and I understand the bite. I completely agree if you half ass shi#t then you dont belong here giving people some shotty advice. I wasnt boasting or bragging about my last job. Just saying in comparison to my situation, his ran fine when finished. Put it back together via book just like I did mine. His ran my didnt. Although mine was touched by someone else...his was solely me.

And like I've said in previous posts, I'd like to think I have alot of experience and would like to share and help someone less fortunate or maybe considered more fortunate to not have gone through all the things I have. I dont know everything and certainly would like to know more. I'm never against not learning. For example I'll admit it, I dont know the first thing about dpfs, docs, scars, or def systems. I've been fortunate to not encounter any problems in my path. Doesnt mean I would not like to learn and be educated for when that time comes.

I'm a motor guy. In and out of machine shops. I've put together motors of all shapes and sizes. Isxs,cats, and shi#t I have a 4 cyl big turbo civic that currently makes 700 to the wheel and runs 9s. Motors have been in my blood forever. I grew up like most people enter trucking, broke. Anything I wanted I had to get broken, from a friend, from the dump, who knows. I would take whatever that was, learn as much as I could about it and make it work again. That's the only reason I ever had the nicer things growing up. Laptops,computers, ipods, go karts, ect. That's where you start to appreciate the correct way and nice job you do because you can stand behind it like shi#t...I did that. And know it wont let you down.

Back to my situation,
I cracked return and cranked. Found return fuel flow. Cut an old line and welded shut for a test tool. When down the rail blocking off one cyl at a time and cranked. Low and behold got to the 6th cyl and she fired fired off. Okay. Perfect. Started to inspect things and found feed tube loose. Re torqued, checked again. Still loose. Put torque wrench back on it spins under torque again. Odd. Checked, still loose. So I pulled it all apart. Compared to cyl 5 to make sure of same length, not crushed. Put back together had to keep torqing I'd have to say like a dozen times before tube was tight. Fired off fine. Still have 157 low fuel pressure, and some weird 639 1939 message missing between modules. Never seen that one before. I can only assume bc the tube is still bleeding off my rail pressure.

I got a tube, seal, and nut coming. Going to pull injector to make sure it's alright. If not I'll need one of those also.

I did do a high pressure pump head and the gear transfer pump as I believed to be original with 900k on them. Both had unchipped red paint..even the bolts where painted with no signs of being taken off...who knows could have been a respray after someone replaced. To me, def a wise investment I believe.
