YT90SC Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Depends on the failure mode. You probably need a complete fuel system, if it fragged. Best bet is to get a copy of the WSM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drifter13 Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 What is the WSM and would I get from the dealer who works on the truck or do you know of a place where I can get it done. Miss ridind in my truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drifter13 Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 I have a 50 Gal. Transferflow Trax 3 inbed auxiliary fuel tank installed and would that cause any problems with the OEM fuel system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drifter13 Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 Any reason why a dealership would leave the power steering reservoir at the minimum level twice after service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT90SC Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 WSM= WorkShop Manual. I have seen aftermarket tanks cause issues with diesels because they overwhelm the stock system with excess water or, in some cases welding slag from the tank's production that was not cleaned. A bigger factor is not to EVER use products that contain alcohol or other water dispersant. AS for the PS reservoir, it has no need to be filled to the max. But sometimes what happens is they fill it to max and it works an air pocket out during the process, resulting in a level at minimum. I wouldnt get too carried away with chasing that, as long as you are not losing fluid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT90SC Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 FWIW: you don't *have* to remove the cab to do this repair, but it is pretty easy to do so and a lot of guys do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drifter13 Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 Thanks for the info helps me learn more about my truck. When you mention overwhelming the OEM system, are you talking about the gravity fed tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT90SC Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Some of the aftermarket tanks have less than adequate venting and water tightness. I.e. It rains and fills the tank with water. Get too much water in one and you will fill the water separator and bypass it, sending water to the pump. Personally, I'd want at least a water separator between the aux and stock tanks.

drifter13 Posted November 27, 2018 Author Share Posted November 27, 2018 The in-bed Transferflow Trax3 tank I have is covered with a Bak Revolver bed cover most of the time, only open when towing and fueling, using cetane booster regularly. The auxiliary tank has a filter ahead of the pump on it. Great idea will look into how it can be done, mount it somewhere in the bed between the systems.

drifter13 Posted November 27, 2018 Author Share Posted November 27, 2018 You guys were on point, went back and peeked in my owners manual, somewhere between max & min is fine no need to panic, it's just when I started the truck heard the noise when I moved the steering wheel, thought with it being on min would cause a problem.
