Prior to that post I was having trouble with the getting the sierra site to show my engine, but putting in GXI yields results and shows the 18-7824-2 part as the correct one for my motor. I bought the longer wix 51061 and will install when I do the oil.
And just so I’m clear, you are saying 15w40 and NOT the diesel spec. formula..
thanks
Getting the boat off the lift tomorrow at my buddys who lives on Okauchee.
Thanks…do you recommend anything other than VP 3850559 for my filter.

I’ve run across info that says pre 2008 models should run on vds-3 or diesel 15w40.

Thanks I was able to find that VP guide online. I am more interested in how you go about finding the cross referenced plugs for example.
I tested the motor on the lake again yesterday and while I am now able to attain 5000 rpm at FT I am finding that if I try to go to full power while leaving...
I was given Champions double platinum. Not sure if they are truly right, would NGK be better? I will probably do the wires too.
Plugs removed are acdelco R44L TS6
Installed are Champion RS12PYP
Update…isolated both fuel pumps separately and found both to be operating when key turned to run position. Also used a screwdriver to my ear and find both pumps operating with motor at idle. Still unable to get fuel pressure to read at low pump Schrader valve, but depressed valve with engine...
We did not attempt to isolate the LP pump in the way you described, but prob should have. If the LP pressure test was valid then we have to assume the HP pump is able to provide enough throughput to suction feed. Don’t know if it’s possible for it to do that. The fuel pressure gauge would easily...
Yes, because it requires the adapter I wondered if the adapter itself might be faulty. .The test kit was new and rented from an auto parts store and I connected it twice. I know there was some leakage when I connected it the first time though. I’ve talked to 3 different service managers and...
Recently over the course of just a few days the motor began to lose ability to reach rated max rpm under load. Now we can only achieve between 2500-3000 rpms at FT. I tested the fuel pressure at the rail and found 50 psi at idle and throughout the range up to the reduced max rpm.
The gauge...
Trying to determine the exact part number for my drive to get the cost of repairing u joints. Local repair shop says might not be able to determine until the drive is pulled and number from shaft assy is read off it. Some allow for replacement of spiders and some mandate entire shaft...
