    Question Runs when first cranked HELP

    oup, sorry. I ment the glow plugs. there is 8 of them. one per cylinder. You can test each one via the under the valve cover harness, or just taking each one out and testing them right out in front of you. But by then I would replace them anyway since they have a lifetime of around 120K anyway.

    Question Stancor problems

    yeah I can hear my pump from inside the cab. Sounds like its going out. Id say even if the filter or tank filter is clogged it will make some noise. After you change it out you might want to pay attention to the fuel pressures to see if that was maybe why this one went out. :dunno
