Thanks for the info. Where can I find rebuilds for $20? I have been quoted
twice that much from a couple dealers.

I do need to change the fuel filter as you say also and have been using
premium diesel that has some extra additives for cleaning the injectors. i
am skeptical.

I got a good deal on a new starter from Bus Depot and could keep my old one
to rebuild. It should be here anytime.

Thanks
