Drop down in the posts and read "smoking and breaking up" there is some info on the pumps in there. Other than that google turning up the pump an you should find all the usual things people play with on pump adjustments, Geno's garage (Dodge ram) has the articles. They articles are all here somewhere, just a case of searching

Can you explain the problem he is having? If the IP is out it would probly run just really rough with lots of white smoke. VE IPs a pretty cheap compared to other pumps I think you can get a nice 14mm for like $1500 and 12mm for a bit less but dont qoute me on that and a used 12mm for $500. but if fuel presure is bad or not there it could be a lift pump. But if it doesnt run at all the first place I always check is fuel shut off, then I would check for some sort of wireing issue. Its pretty hard to get a 12v to not run at all IMO. It also could have jumped a tooth on the IP:humm:

I just seen your 3rd post. IM leaning towards wireing when I got my truck it would just die and leave me stranded and when you are stuck you a intersection you tend to work fast. So I start jiggling wires and I find a Junction wth 2 large wires coming from the battery going to 5 small wires and I jiggle that and it fires up. It is located by the horns on the fender well on the driver side. It gets coroded on the inside I fixed mine by choping the wires and putting the ringed connectors on the end of each wire and then I took a peice of 3/8 copper tubing and smashed it in a vice and bolted all the wires to the copper. Im 90% sure this is your problem. A cummins just doesnt stop they will eat them selfs alive before they die:rocking:

Well I've never been a boat anchor mechanic so I dont know anything about the 6.0power puker:moon:. IP is short for injection pump. First gens have a VE pump, 2nd gens have p7100 or p pumps, 24v has vp44, 3rd gens have a cp3. The fuel shut off is a little black thing on the bottom of the IP with 2 wires going to it, It is what is used to shut the truck off since diesels dont produce vacume like a gasser. It is a peice of junk that fails alot resulting in a truck that A. doesnt shut off or B. doesnt turn back on, Its a cheap part but the prefured method to fix it is a manual cable shut off running to the cab. I belive you can take the 2 wires off and put a jumper wire to bypass the solinoid or you can just tap on it to try to get it moving again. To check fuel presure you will need a fuel presure gauge either the tool style or you can get one mounted in the cab on a gauge piller I think its supposed to be around 8psi to 15psi. The answer to the reset thingy is no we dont have a crappy thing like that :rocking: just remember 12v is all mechanical like a 6.9 or 7.3 idi if you are a ford guy so there is not a board controlling the motor:rocking:

Well Im glad your not a die hard ford fan because a real ford fan boy would have insulted my mother and defended the 6.0 til he was blue in the face :c: I have always been in love with that king ranch interior though just never realized it was so high maintance. And dont be alarmed when you drive the first gen its supposed to ride like that
