- Part 3 Squarebody Build! In this video Steve checks and reinstalls the fuel shutoff valve on the top of the injection pump. We got a tip from AccurateDiesel.com to make sure all the air is bled out of the fuel system before going ahead with purchasing a pump. We attempt to do so and unintentionally THE ENGINE RUNS?!?! Thanks for Watching!!

Thanks...awesome truck/video. Hopefully my 6.2 comes out of its slumber soon too
It was great to hear this run. Atleast now we know it is worth putting some time and parts into the 6.2
Just a suggestion from someone who owned one of those trucks for 13 years if you time the injection pump with a 2 degree advance and open the exhaust system to a 3 inch pipe and free flowing mufflers it will add a tremendous amount of performance it’s not turbocharged but it will run way better than stock
@@josephheasley615 good to know. Thank you for the feedback.
A win for Kaitlyn.....nice
Absolutely!! Christmas present runs! Sounded pretty good. Like the sound of the 6.2 idi.
Good job, May want to buy a crow’s feet wrench 3/4 to crack & tighten the injector lines. I found it to be a lot more easier and plus u don’t disturb the the return lines. Also may want to drain the tanks and dump fresh diesel along with diesel additive. Congratulations on your Squarebody truck!!!
Good tips!
That's fantastic my friend. Great work.
Thank you! Happy to hear it run
This video makes me want to wrench on the 1982 Jimmy that has been sitting in my backyard for 10 years. Great video. Nice diagnostics
Go for it!
If you haven't got the ol thing running yet I have found those little electric fuel pumps at AutoZone don't do it enough for the 6.2 I'd get one with 10 to 12 psi but nothing more then that without a pressure regulator
Love the new build!
Thank you!! It’s a neat old truck. Seems like a lot of the diesel’s were swapped out. Good to find one with it intact. Stay tuned. Buffing it soon.
That's awesome guys
Thank you! Always liked these trucks. Couldn’t be happier with the one we found, the Patina, the Diesel, the documents and being a 4 speed.
FYI these engines are externally balanced and the balancers often fail due to the rubber dry rotting.
@@theblindredneck747 that makes sense. I like these engines
If that motor doesn’t work out you should put a 3.0L Duramax. It’s something that hasn’t been done and would make great content.
@@ojedasadventurez2875 Not a bad idea . Are those any good?
@@southernrevivalautomotive the 3.0L has been bulletproof for GM. Probably the best engine the made in a long time.
“Today I accidentally revive my truck that hasn’t ran in years” 😂 legend
😂 Was NOT expecting it to hit a lick . I know I should have disconnected the Glow Plugs etc etc but was just seeing if the pump was getting fuel to injectors during diagnosis. Happy surprise 😂
May still need a pump, they’ll run but run erratic with a bad injection pump, also I don’t see a high idle solenoid on that pump. Mine would crank and crank till I pumped the pedal a couple times then it’d fire right off.
I can see how that erratic situation would make sense. Did not run long enough yet to find out. It seemed to start without pumping pedal at first. I removed the high idle solenoid in order to remove top of pump.
I had to replace all the soft lines on top of the tanks and tank switch under the truck would not pull fuel from tanks from leakage
Seems to be common on all idi trucks. This particular truck had one fuel tank full, and one bone dry. Assume it was the tank selector valve or switch in cab. Will find out.
Had a very similar Scottsdale in high school. I believe it was a 1979 Scottsdale standard shift but a half ton with 350. Loved it. Is this truck for sale?
It may be at Barrett or Mecum auction later this year.
BWAHAHAHA

Try this in a van have fun
The Vans with idi motors are much tighter to work on. Actually just looked at a 80’s E350 with the 7.3 idi for sale.
@southernrevivalautomotive yea I know this my pops had a van with the 6.2. Mixed relationship . It was great but yea tough to work on for the dogbox. Then later on I salvaged a 6.9 from a econaline . Don't like the vans haa .
Just start the dam thing lol
haha
How do you by pass all the fuel system??
@@ericgomez3870 showed it in the video. Put inline fuel pump into line that goes from motor to large fuel filter on firewall. There is also another fuel filter on the motor that the fuel still passes thru
What kind of engine is that and what's the mpg?
Original 6.2 L Diesel ... Suspected to get around 20-22 mpg
That truck is very quadruple dog cursed to not want to start at all
Was just looking to prime the fuel system. Was not looking to start it until it was primed.
@@southernrevivalautomotive ok
