Old idealism over new in my opinion! Old habits die hard in the minds of some people! Engineers are not immune to this! That said if you don’t try stuff you don’t move forward! Sometimes it’s up to us in the field to do what they are afraid to do. I personally have done it! I’ve seen both setups both work ! Is the extra work necessary? If you got something that works why change!?

Sae number six!

Keep use posted!

Great minds buddy my thoughts exactly is that piece magnetic? Not lump of carbon?

Why not look for a Volvo engine of the same year as your own ! the engines are identical except for the paint! That said not worth taking a chance in my mind the emissions year is most important for ether brand some internal parts change for this!

Bummer ! Nope sorry no ideas here ! Could be part of a bad manifold casting!

Sound wise the Schweitzer tended to have a high pitch whistle to them most of the time! Might be a clue for you!
-
yup valid question ! Axles are totally different and joey has a point to 44 change to a flanged axle at one point as well so year is important as well! 38 axles had a totally different flange at one point with different stud size AND pattern on earlier vins !!!

It could be schwitser or borgwarner if the fuel pump is rob bosch it will likly be a schwitser if ambc borg!
-
Try toppin up the coolant! it is likley set to trigger but not shut down ! As it warms the coolant expands!

my puppy Kye and his buddy Jarvis Kye is 2 blue healer/ jack russel Jarvis is 8 ! Cat that thinks he’s a dog ! He does all the tricks the dog does and comes on walks with us! Bringing more joy than working on trucks. Trucks now are my third favourite thing! Love critters of any sort!

Yup I have used these on a truck with out a torque rod to the frame your. Going to have this issue! Duno if it was a cost cutting measure or not how ever it has caused a lot of issues!

We had an apprentice girl in our shop that could run circles around a lot of these guys we hired! She now has her ticket and is now doing warranty! Think I told that story though !🤔

Not sure if it can be done without taking the pump off the truck never done it personally! Usually done by a Robert Bosch pump shop! And I’m sure parts are becoming scarce nowadays!this here was a pretty reliable fuel setup so you couldn’t expect them to keep it!😡Mack and John deere used it for quite awhile!

Are there any degrees marked on the flywheel? Can you post a picture of the side of the pump? -
Yup me too! One project to and on to the next!

No problem that's what we do here! So if your going to tap on anything tap on the rear of the pump there the rack actuator is contained in that area and is likely the culprit turn the key on tap lightly on the housing and try to start! if it starts you will be looking at removing the fuel pump at some point!
