Update
I took a razor and cut down the alternator where the dent was and greatly reduced the wobbling. Still may get the fan replaced and the diodes checked...
Left the van running for an hour and the PS pump no longer makes noises (I added some PS fluid to level with stop leak)
So I'm left with one problem: occassional white smoke when cold and long starts... (didn't white smoke with coolant empty so I assume it's fuel and it does smell like fuel)... I'm assuming the IP has a small leak and is draining fuel back, OR that drainback valve is stuck open... OR the compression is marginal from poor maintenance and few oil changes. 4600 hours for 117,000 miles with lots of idling is a lot of wear for 5000 mile oil changes in an ambulance... It does start fine when turned off and restarted.
I'll go buy an electric pump and a fuel filter after the tank switch solenoid bracket (my friend put an electric fuel pump on his 1990 ramp truck but the tank delam issue clogged it up).
My only question then is can you go into great detail about pump timing, the cost i should expect to pay for international to do it and how to do it myself i.e. where are those 3 bolts and can i do it with the truck running?
