IC hose is pulled, all the top parts are pulled, wiring to the IP pump are pulled, 4 nuts on the pump are pulled, the bracket underneath is pulled and sitting on the bumper. what else is there?

it'll wiggle around and pull out a millimeter or 2 but it doesn't go any further. what else is holding it up? anything up front on the timing cover? i really don't wanna pull that but if i have to so be it.

any help would be GREAT

i'm calling bluechip tomorrow to ask them but was hoping someone could tell me so i wouldn't have to call

 

This might help. Not extremely detailed, but there are some pictures. I'll be in the same boat here shortly. You didn't get a reman, did you?

heck no! never get a reman part when you can get a new one from bluechip for 1300

trying to talk the old man into the 1600 bluechipped one. hoping this one will last alil longer then the last one did (130k miles) if this one dies, its going to the 12v pump. we should be doing that now but i don't have the time right now since i'll be going to school in about 10 days over at lima ohio.... diesel tech is only 2 years away hopefully

 

BTW- thanks for the link! he has it printed out but this gives me alil better look at it when i'm not laying across the top of the radiator haha

i'm gonna call bluechip tomorrow and ask them then i'll post it up so others don't have to call, just use the search button like i tried doing

 

Have you popped the gear off of the shaft yet?

 

sure did! you use the bolts from your intake elbow and go to harbor frieght and for 20 bux you can pick up nice steering wheel puller in a casethat works like a dream with this thing! once you pull that off it falls right out

 

I pulled mine recently (in the middle of a rebuild) and I had to persuade it to pop loose using a hammer or mallet... can't remember exactly what I did, I just remember it needed some help.

 

ok. what is wrong with a reman ip?, i just had one installed but now am having a problem with fuel mileage, fuel milage went from 18-22 to 12-15 , anything that i need to check or do?

 

looks like we are getting a reman with a new top , piston and all

bluechipdiesel.com is where we are getting ours. 1 year unlimited mile warrenty



why does everyone think its hard to pull out? i found it easier to pull that pump then it is to put an intake manifold on my ls1

 

I think it's the fact that it's such a delicate piece of machinery that people are afraid that they are gonna mess something up.

 

I have had several people tell me that remanufactured pump casings can meet specs and still be out just enough to cause failures quicker than normal or just never get the real power out of your truck. This makes them a crap shoot on what you get.
