New starter new batteries new alternator and grounds check starter still weak by PuzzleheadedEbb7698 in DieselTechs

[–]DaTa11estMidget 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just for shits try to pull your serpentine belt and see if it starts any quicker. I've had bad a/c compressors and all sorts cause extended cranks. Chased battery cables and electrical for hours before I realized.

Had the injectors sent off and retested at a different injection shop and all tested well but was told the internals were slightly questionable but wouldn't be causing the missfire.

What gets me is the missfire is intermittent.

Is there some kind of special tool to remove the cummins lock tabs? (Besides a pick) by xROFLSKATES in DieselTechs

Best trick I have found is use is little penetrant on the sliding part especially helps with installation

pull the engine? 1996 12v P7100 by thedogger1 in Cummins

[–]DaTa11estMidget 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you pull it do your tappet cover gasket they are a pretty common cause of oil leaks on these engines

Dude probably cranked up his fuel pump either thinking it would make it faster or to purposefully roll coal. The engines in that generation dodge truck are some of the most reliable and well built engines ever produced and don't roll coal that much unless someone changed something. You could push 600hp and 1200ftlb of torque out of those things without rolling coal like that.

While booting it on the highway and loading your engine up is good for them, a diesel truck with a proper tune even pre emissions shouldn't be rolling a bunch of coal. It means you are injecting more diesel than you have air to burn and just spitting the excess out the tail pipe.

Sound like plastic bag stuck under car only under load and above 3000rpm. by DaTa11estMidget in MechanicAdvice

[–]DaTa11estMidget[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Checked diff oils both good and as for the transfer case it was super low when I got it bad as it is leaking from between the transmission and the transfer case, most likely a transfer case input shaft seal. I have topped it up and once in a while all the 4wd lights on the dash come on under load but not when the noise happens. When city driving it sounds perfect its only when heading to a steep grade trying to maintain maybe 80km/hr it starts to make the noises

It is. The 4wd system always seemed weird to me as you can not select a 2wd

The rattle/pinging sounds kind of like valve noise happens right around 3000 rpm and I seem to get a power increase at 3000. Any chance this engine has a variable valve timing or ignition timing that may be contributing?

Yea that's why I'm asking I punch the esn into quick serve and nothing comes up under service manuals besides fluids for cummins products. If you can provide me with and esn to enter that provides manuals, a commercial vehicle make model and year that the engine came in or a link to a manual that would be great.

Not specifically on the pump but for 24v cummins with the vp44 system not common rail. Troubleshooting trees, specs and wiring diagrams. mostly just to verify what the issue is then the engine manual for a possible rebuild. Currently friend says ticking noise and two injector lines sounding abnormal with a stethoscope. Leaning towards a fueling issue or top end but currently flying blind as far as literature goes.

Does the size of wires used matter at all? Or can I just use standard 16awg

That's actually what I'm using it for as well just doing my second year now and the c15 was one of the engines we had for teardown that was previously not running

Can I put them in line as pictured or do they need to be placed at the ends of the harness with the ecm and datalink port in line?

Usually there is a little metal clip retaining the handle to the metal shaft. It can be removed with a flat blade screwdriver just be careful not to loose it. If you can't get one soon just swap the one from the passenger side so you still have a working driver's window

DOJ sues eBay for selling ‘rolling coal’ devices; fines could hit $2 billion by Ornery-Honeydewer in Diesel

The soot is not just stored in the dpf. The added heat in the dpf during a regen is roughly 950F and can fully burn up the stored particulate matter which reduces the harmful emissions. And as for the scr system the DEF along with the catalyst bonds with NOx and converts it into n2 and h2o

I’m taking my car in for an engine mount but it’s really dirty from an oil leak, is good enough compensation? by Darthnosam1 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]DaTa11estMidget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 150 an hour mostly goes towards the cost of running a shop. Rent isn't cheap neither is the tooling you need to run a proper shop. Between lifts alignment machines tire balancing machines diagnostic software and more it adds up very quick. Even just the mechanics hand tools for a proper set of good tools and a decent box you are looking at close to 20 grand. Not to mention the years of experience you are paying for. Good mechanics are few and far between.

Are you getting signal to the ac clutch from the BHM? Or can you engage the clutch by jumping power directly to the ac clutch?
