i dont have many pictures here of the engine bay.... most of my photos are problem related!!
This one its the bay drivers side, explains the vacuum connections, and the diesel filter with manual pump, that isn't oem:

this one is the chain area, to resolve a problem with the balancer unit:

This was the sound of the problem:

What does this part do? It has completely fallen out on my pump and fuel is pouring out. Does anyone know where to get one?
 
is the screw I pointed?
if so it's locking screw.... when it come from repair is locked, no metal washer
after you assemble it you will put the washer and unlock it
it has a rubber seal... that seal was what was broken on mine...
hope it helped
 
Does anyone have and old one laying around, or where can u pick one up at!

I called some shops and ask them before about locking the pump, they said that u couldnt lock a VP. I didnt think they knew much about VP's. lol

I was just goin have something machined to work but i would rather just buy one if u can get them.

ftomas what does that thing redline at?
 
Thanks, yes the screw you pointed too. Mine fell out when I was driving. I called a few shops aroun town and was told I would have to buy a new pump. Truck was running fine just dumping fuel. Do you think a bolt from the hardware store with a washer and o ring would work?

new pump for that..... I don't think so....
the screw broke? or the screw hole broke?
do you have the old screw?
do you have a photo from the screw?

I think you will have to find a screw on an hardware store or better a screw from a bad pump.
and a oring.
