Im guessing this is what they are talking about. i still have not looked at mine yet. But seraching on ebay showed this.

EDIT: Yea thats it. It has 2 wires going to the top terminal of it. Both with a slip on connection. I want to say one is brown wire and the other is green i believe.

Okay there are a couple of solenoids that look like the one i posted above.

1 is on the top of the pump and has 2 terminals on the single post. 1 of the wires is White and the other is Green.

2nd is on the side of the pump facing the drivers fender and has 1 white wire going to it. I noticed mine was unplugged and really has a bad connection.

The white wire feeds the KSB switch, it does not even need to be connected for the truck to run. As long as the other wire has a good connection, that's all you need to make the truck run.

The other solenoid is the KSB solenoid, it only operates when the truck is cold. It's there to reduce white smoke, not having it operate will not cause any driveability problems.

I'm not saying it shouldn't be fixed, but it's not the problem so it does not need to be at the top of your "to do" list.

 

here is the solenoid and the connection

 

the blue wire is very loose i can slide it sround with just touching the wire could this be causing my whole problem

 

Take an 8MM wrench and remove that nut.

Lift the double-spade connector off and put it aside.

Cut off the big plastic female-spade that is on the wire.

Replace it with a crimped/soldered ring-terminal.

Put the ring-terminal over the threaded stud, add the washer, and the nut.


You can then eliminate that as the problem.

 

will do man, going to do it first thing when i get home from work tomorrow thanks for the help

 

Okay well that good to know. So the blue "Green in my truck" is also very loose and just slides around. I am going to be replacing them with ring terminals also.

If the Blue "Green in my truck" wire is loose and making a bad connection would it cause the problem that we are both having? I know you told me to drop the tank wanna...lol... im just hoping its something easier..

Chris

 

Ive dropped the tank once on mine last week wasnt a fun task gettin it down wasnt so bad gettin it back in place very aggravating.

 

That could be your problem..

 

Definitely fix the connection before you resort to dropping the tank. It's a lot easier and it ought to be fixed anyway before it falls off while you're pulling out into traffic...

 

got the connector changed and it runs like a champ now. Not had a problem with it in two days and ive put on two hundred miles since so it seems all is good for now. thanks for the help everyone

 

its ur lift pump mine is doing the same thing and i just figured out that it is the lift pump
