On certain Series 60 engines, the fuel pump is mounted on a fuel pump drive assembly. The fuel pump drive assembly is mounted to the gear case with five bolts. If installed on vehicle engines, the fuel pump drive assembly is located just above the air compressor drive assembly on the intake (left) side of the engine. See Figure "Fuel Pump Drive Location" .
Note: Effective with engine serial number 06R0549855 built on October 19, 1999, gear case mounted fuel pumps have a splined drive shaft and splined gear coupling assembly, see Figure "Current and Former Fuel Pumps " . The former and current fuel pump drive assemblies are not interchangeable. Both current assemblies must be used together. Components of former and current pump assemblies and drive assemblies are not interchangeable.

Figure 1. Fuel Pump Drive Location
The fuel pump drive assembly consists of an aluminum housing, a helical gear driven off the bull gear, a drive shaft supported in the middle by a double-row ball bearing, and a forked hub that mates with a drive coupling. The fuel pump drive is supplied as an assembly, so components are not serviced. The drive gear and hub are pressed onto the drive shaft. A rubber O-ring located in a groove machined into the mounting surface of the drive is used to seal the fuel pump assembly to the gear case. An internal-type snap ring is fitted to a groove in the fuel pump drive housing to retain the bearing and shaft. see Figure "Current and Former Fuel Pumps "

The coupling between the fuel pump and fuel pump drive hubs is plastic, and acts as a shock absorber in the fuel pump drive line.
The fuel pump drive bearing is lubricated by engine oil splash-fed by the gears rotating in the gear case. This oil feeds the bearing and drive shaft through a hole in the fuel pump drive housing.
Remove the fuel pump drive assembly as follows:
NOTICE: |
|
Failure to remove the fuel pump drive assembly by pulling it straight may damage the O-ring. |
Clean the fuel pump drive assembly as follows:
|
EYE INJURY |
|
To avoid injury from flying debris when using compressed air, wear adequate eye protection (face shield or safety goggles) and do not exceed 276 kPa (40 psi) air pressure. |
Perform the following to inspect the fuel pump drive assembly:
Perform the following steps to install the fuel pump drive assembly:
Note: It may be necessary to use a brass hammer or fiber mallet to seat the drive assembly. Be careful not to damage the O-ring during installation.

PERSONAL INJURY |
|
To avoid injury before starting and running the engine, ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface, parking brake is set, and the wheels are blocked. |
|
PERSONAL INJURY |
|
Diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituents are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm.
