wait till they see your next truck!!!!!!!

I haven't been around in a while, I'm back now

It is possible that your sending unit is a 60 PSI unit, multifuel trucks had both 60 and 120 PSI sending unit available and someone might have installed the wrong one, I have seen it more than a few times in 20 years of this fun. JT

the worst case is damage to the injection pump , other s should comment on this if they are experienced with this problem

Yes that is the one that has the breather, or just a small hole in the center of it. It is the way air exhausts from the system when the brake is released. it's not a brilliant way, but it was the guv'mentway. I hope you find it was your problem. JT

Just a chance that the glad hand at the right frontof the truck has gotten it's breather plugged with something, I had a similar problem some years ago that cost me a new airpack and a new master cylinder that didn't fix the problem. I told a Vietnam veteran about it and he told me to check that...

I haven't bought the 1133 filters in years, if it's now in there, that's great. It willseem too big until you clean the recessed groove totally. JT

Wix is 51458, napa is 1458. They are flat fiber gaskets, not rubber. You need to clean the groove well, start the gasket in on one side and and press it around till you get to the end, press the little bump down with your thumb..... tout fini. JT

Here are the correct gaskets again: Oil napa 5119 fiber gasket the only correct gasket, snaps into the counter sunk groove that you NEED to clean out first. primary napa 5131 rubber secondary 5070 rubber If you want WIX add a 1 prefix to the above numbers...

Karl, as always, thank you. I had tried an ohm meter earlier, thought I needed 6 ohms and got confused. If you are coming to Redball meet at MT Bethel, PA this weekend, can you bring your ohm meter and I will bring resistors down. JT

A little off topic but still on CUCV glow plug system. Is there a way to test the resistance of the double resistor that cuts 24v down to 12v to fire the glow plugs? I removed mine and wired from the front battery through a 100 amp breaker to the glow plug solenoid and I'm not happy with the...

I still think his injector timing is wrong. I just finished a 4BDT-1 Isuzu today and the diesel shop put the pump in 1 tooth off for 15 degrees retarded and it smoked white, no power and overheated all the while. It is perfect now. JT

check timing, white smoke at idle can indicate timing off. How would that happen to an engine that ran right previously? Consider the 3 small capscrews that hold gear on front of injector pump, and gear train wear from use. You can check timing, you seem to be very mechanicly able. Just a...

I am looking for a place to buy an engine gasket set for the White 298ER diesel in a Mep 005 30K genset. leaking coolant between head and block.
