It'll sound like an old Chevy 6.2/6.5 diesel - really bad diesel knock. Also it will be hard to start.

Hey Dave

How's it goin. Gettin ready for a few days on the road and decided to bump the pump to get some egt's down. After I move it it started fine and sounded fine. I didn't get a chance to take it out yet. Hope the temp will come down and maybe a bit more power.

Hey I used the S wrenches from HF. Tell ya what, it was still a pita! I used the wrench I had at your place along with HF and anything else I could find for the upper inside nut. Finally got it though.

I found the key to movein the pump. I put a hand screw on the top of the pump and the other side to a bolt on the engine. Just cranked on it a bit and moved the pump pretty easily. Beats smackin it.

Picked up the pump for the fuel tank today. Tank should be ready by Wednesday. With the added fuel I'll have some pretty long legs haulin the fifth.
