reading the whole thread, he's replaced the injector multiple times and still has it happening

the runflat should also have a notch in one spot for the valve stem

Isn't SECO the company that got a big fine for selling the military knock off parts, or was that someone else?

Another thought, did it come from the military with the 200 amp alternator installed, or was it done afterwards? The 200 amp uses larger cables than the 60 amp, and they should be routed over to the starter solenoid if I remember correctly, whereas the 60 amp wire went to the control box and...

When you're flooring the accelerator and the trans kicks down, the entire engine/transmission assembly does some twisting against it's mounts. The only thing I can think of is you have a bad wiring connection between the alternator and the batteries somewhere that is getting affected by this...

the 200 amp has a lot of mass, so belts could slip if loose. Your description of it only happening when the engine is revving up under heavy load though would make me suspect it doesn't have anything to do with the belts, as even if slipping the alternator shouldn't be dropping in speed when...

How old are your batteries and have you had them tested? I noticed a few issues with the voltage not staying steady when I had a bad battery once upon a time.

The 90 amp rating is likely just the startup surge; actual running amps would likely be a lot less than that. It would have to have something like 6 gauge cable in order to have a continuous 90 amp draw. I don't suppose anyone posted what the duty cycle is on it? The days of finding those...

I posted this on our FB group, so will put it here also If everyone doesn't mind moving it forward by one week, I have the space to do it the weekend of the 13/14th here in McCleary. We would also be in the McCleary Bear Festival parade, which is a little smaller than the Napavine one, but not...

Just for an update, I've now talked to several other people with sheared off exhaust stud and sheared off bolts in the front, the same thing as mine did. They have gone to the newer style bracket with no difficulty and are very happy with the upgrade.

my truck has started in frozen weather with at least 4 bad glow plugs, maybe more. I've replaced 3 of them so far. It does put out quite a bit of smoke for the first 10-20 seconds or so, but runs perfectly after that. I'd say for only 2 stck glow plugs it isn't worth the time/money to tear it...

The idler pulleys use a replaceable bearing in them that isn't that hard to change out. If nothing else keep a few of them on hand. 6203 bearings, 2 per idler.

Next step is see what voltage you have at the glow plugs.

Mine squeaked when my belt was out of alignment. Alternator bracket had the rear brace stud on the exhaust sheared off, and that put extra stress on the front bolts, two of which sheared off and the third loosened. Ended up replacing the rear bracket with the newer one. If your serial number...

You could probably make them fit, but they are too soft for the added weight of the M1165 over the basic M998, and would be more compressed, losing some height. Those springs are designed for a truck weighing no more than 7700 lbs fully loaded, and empty your M1165 is edging up on that. I've...

A couple things to start off with: 1) has this vehicle ever started for you, or did you receive it in this condition? 2) Using a multimeter, do you show voltage at the glow plugs when they are cycling? 3) Do you have any smoke out the exhaust while cranking the engine? 4) Caps lock is...

DEX III is recommended. The military did switch to DEX VI (DEX 6, there is no 4 or 5) for their fleets, but in the civilian world the DEX VI is only approved for automatic transmissions, and all other applications still use DEX III that's been repackaged and a different part number on it. Even...

as far as I know there is 1 fuel line to engine 1 return line from engine 1 vent line up to near air filter canister 1 auxiliary feed line 1 auxiliary return line the auxiliary lines can be either ambulance heater, or now that I think about it there were some comms type boxes that had a...
