joispoi 01-21-2005, 05:54 PM Okay, that wasn't supposed to post without the question. I bought a new PMD for my suburban. It was supposed to be a spare, but today the truck stalled twice while driving. I went to go change it, but I CAN'T FIND WHERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO GO! It's 3 degrees outside so I'm not standing out there any longer than I have to. Can anyone tell me where this thing goes? Texas Diesel Guy 01-21-2005, 07:14 PM You have to pull the intake manifold off, it will be on the driverside of the pump in the valley. You will also probably have to loosen the 3 15mm mounting bolts and rock the pump over to the pass side and just barely be able to get the 4 Torx 15 screws that hold it to the pump. Be sure you scribe a line on the pump housing/timing cover so you can line it back up when your done. joispoi 01-21-2005, 07:34 PM Well that settles it.... it ain't getting done tonight. It's 2 below zero! This will have to wait until tomorrow, when it's supposed to warm up a lot. It might even hit 18 degrees! Thanks for the help, Tex. ):h MDT 01-21-2005, 08:44 PM I used a small trorks bit from a 1/4 hex drive set (it is only about 1" long) in a pair of small visegrips to remove the lower screws. I didn't want to chance messing up the timing by rotating the IP. If you have a new FSD already just leave the dead one on the IP and remote mount the new one, that way you won't have to remove the intake manifold. 95-6.5 01-21-2005, 09:22 PM remote mounting is the only way to go.Lessens the chance of failure again and when it does fail it takes 10min to replace. quantum mechanic 01-22-2005, 05:14 PM Putting it back on the pump is a pain! Remote mounting out of the engine bay and sodering in a wire harness extention between the PMD connector and the IP wire harness or pay $100 for a plug and play. I've had my extension in for a year and in that time have unplugged it enough times to make it worth it. Turbine Doc 01-23-2005, 09:31 PM New new PMD, or new used, new-new can you take it back. I highly recommend a remote mount kit, Bill Heath's is the one I finally went with 7yr warranty was the final selling point, Kennedy's remote kit is effective also, but I had multiple fails in the engine bay on it, mounted out of the engine bay is the key in several members opinion; myself included | ||
