I needed to use the truck to pick up lumber. I noticed that the miss under load was gone. After running it hard for a couple hours the smoke stopped. So I think there was an intermittent problem with one of the injectors. Cleaning them fixed the problem. I just finished installing a boost...

Pulled the injectors again. This time I took the nozzles apart. Cleaned and back flushed everything. They all look good. Pop test fine. Engine smoking just as before. I'm going to buy a new hydraulic head tomorrow.

Moved injector 5 to cylinder 6 and injector 6 to cylinder 5. The fuel is mostly diesel. It is still black because of some used motor oil still in the tank. Engine has always run with no smoke even when running mostly used oil.

Where can I get new Injectors for an LDS-465-1a? 2 hole injectors.

I swapped #5 and #6 injectors positions. After starting the engine I saw less smoke from the exhaust and it seemed to puff intermittently. There was always a knocking combustion sound since I got the truck. That sound is gone. Engine sounds smoother. After letting it run at 1100 rpm for a while...

Smells like diesel fuel. Don't seem to be loosing coolant. Compression check is great. I may have to do a leak down test. All fluids are normal. No mixing. No leaks on the injection lines. Maybe they only leak air in but not fuel out. Work on it again Monday or Tuesday.

Had a chance to work on the engine again. I started the engine then monitored the temperature of the exhaust manifold ports with an IR gun. All the ports were within 10 degrees of each other. I cracked the line nuts in hopes the smoke would stop when I got to the bad injector. Smoked on all...

I'm in Moline IL. We have a club. QCMVPA. http://clubs.hemmings.com/quadcitiesmvpa/ M35a2 is broken right now. Once its fixed I am down for a rally. I would like to take the truck to an offroad park.

Short story: multifuel starts with a miss, smokes white, a slight miss can be heard under load, low on power, runs hotter than normal. You would think a stuck injector but all Injectors pop test fine. Odd. Any ideas? Long story: The Hydraulic Head cracked 100 miles from home. I leaked 50...

Was this ever resolved? I was 75 miles into a 200 mile road trip when I noticed the leak. It looked like it was coming for under the HH I figured it was just a bad O-ring. It was a slow trickle of a leak I drove another 25 miles to the destination. It felt a little under powered. It was...

They don't share a transmission? I figured that a multifuel would have the same transmission behind it.

Can a 5 ton cummings PTO be used on a 2.5 ton multifuel? Can a 5 ton multifuel PTO be used on a 2.5 ton multifuel?

Hey Chad. This is Matt. EPA causing problems again. I bet that they will extend the emission exemption. My logic it that the government can make more money by selling the trucks at auction than by selling them for scrap. They have spending problem. They need the money.

Anyone else have first hand accounts of a gun ring destroying a cab? i am looking for advice such as "don't do it will make the truck no fun to drive." or 'don't do it because the ring will rip the cab off" or "Go for it. A MV has to have guns equipped."
