    HEUI Troubleshooting - Injection Pressure Desired and Actual Mismatch

    Can confirm. Nothing to really see from a plumbing perspective with the valve cover removed. I was checking connectors and wiring when I was in there.

    HEUI Troubleshooting - Injection Pressure Desired and Actual Mismatch

    I can try to answer that question later in the week. Will take a poke through that video, in the meantime, starting to make a parts list.

    HEUI Troubleshooting - Injection Pressure Desired and Actual Mismatch

    1 - Are you asking bad low pressure (block) pump or bad HEUI pump? I can confirm that my block oil pump was consistently giving me good pressure at the dash gauge- 60's at start up, high 30's or low 40's underway when warm. I assume you're talking about the HEUI pump though, so yeah, definite...

    From fire truck to MTV

    Can confirm you'll definitely want shrubbery protection up high if you even get the slightest bit adventurous. I read the same warnings about the mini splits and intend to thoroughly shield mine when (finally) installed.

    HEUI Troubleshooting - Injection Pressure Desired and Actual Mismatch

    This doesn't want to go down without a fight. I started the rig again yesterday morning and it sounded and ran like someone dumped a box of rocks in the crankcase- like it did with the "bad" IAPCV. I didn't have time to monkey with it so I put it on the list of things to do today. I started...

    HEUI Troubleshooting - Injection Pressure Desired and Actual Mismatch

    Funny you mention this... They are the identical parts. Found this out from the CAT guy I chatted with in UT. Same unit as in the DT466 Navistar motor.

    HEUI Troubleshooting - Injection Pressure Desired and Actual Mismatch

    Well, it's one of those times where the troubleshooting process makes sense- the pressure wasn't being properly controlled, so I replaced the valve which controls it and BINGO- all back in spec!!!! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/LPZ2xAc4Kpk This is the CAT ET diagnostic test for the injection...

    Road Trip - OR to UT/AZ and back

    A little footage from House Rock Valley Road: Not very dramatic and full disclosure, plenty of rental cars go up and down this road, but they don't get to sleep in a king size bed on the trail.

    HEUI Troubleshooting - Injection Pressure Desired and Actual Mismatch

    Anyone have any experience with this? I have a 2000 M1088A1. The CEL light came on the other day and with CAT ET hooked up, it showed code 164-11 and/or 164-2. Looking them up reveals a somewhat generic trigger of mismatch between desired and actual injection activation pressure on the HEUI...

    Road Trip - OR to UT/AZ and back

    We're back a little earlier than intended. There were a couple of things which contributed to this. I had an injection actuation pressure code & CEL prior to leaving which I thought I had addressed. The truck ran flawlessly and felt great all the way down and into the backcountry. We had our...

    Road Trip - OR to UT/AZ and back

    I have one or two things to wrap up, but if all goes as expected, we will be heading out in our rig on Weds to southern UT/northern AZ for a week in the wilds. After a handful of shakedowns, this will be our first real trip. Our route will be I-84 through Baker City, Boise, etc... to I-15 and...

    Fuel gage question

    FYI - Had a similar issue but... It ended up being one of the wires had backed out of the Packard connector when I was swapping out a sending unit. Check that connector's integrity if the issue re-surfaces.

    From fire truck to MTV

    FYI - It quickly became annoying for me. I have a bolt in panel with the opening cut out which bolts into a slightly larger opening. I found the metal spine inside the attaching edges will work its way out of the rubber with repeated removal and reinstalls. The bolt in panel was an easy...

    "Sticky" Throttle 1083 A0 w/ 3116

    There are also graphite lubes which have it (graphite) suspended in solution. The solution carries it into the sheathing but then will evaporate so dirt, etc... does not stick to cable and compound the problem, but it leaves the graphite behind to provide the glide. I know you can find it at...
