    m931 solenoid problem

    That was the issue. With the over ride screwed in, the disc inside the FSOV assy is pushed off seat and that allows fuel to flow as long as the engine is running, there is fuel.

    Well, does it run yet? :driver:

    Water injection on a 6CTA

    KISS. Check easy things first, check full throttle, LOOK at the lever tab and make sure it is touching the stop. Make sure the modulator cable isn't adjusted with a throttle arm NOT getting full travel. Check FSOV pull in distance. Check low side fuel pressure, possible overflow valve problem.

    starting a 5 ton

    When a C over speeds, it will do a couple of things, IF it over sped. heads of the tappets break off, the rocker bolts are pushed out of the head, the threads just pull right out. Before you start rippin' and snortin' into it, you should probablt troubleshoot it. Are you sure the engine hasn't...

    The tappets are flat slider type.

    starting a 5 ton

    Or broken flywheel bolts. OP, does the damper turn when you crank it? Gas in a can ain't gooood for ANY diesel, try and avoid it, use something a bit less destructive, like a gas soaked rag or brake/carb cleaner.

    Intermittent coolant leak?

    Most all of the leaks will end up at the bottom/rear, gravity. Sounds like a cold water leak, meaning, it will only leak when cold, after coolant gets to temp, parts swell and the leak stops. Get a pressure tester and put 10 psi on it cold, before it is started. Look at all hose connections and...

    M35A3 Food Truck Finally Operational not complete

    You put that across scales? Might be a tad over weight on steer and drivers, LEO might mess with ya.

    hemtt won't start, fuel issue

    ^^Good guess! Are the filters dry? Tap on them with a wrench, if they "ting" no go juice. If they "thunk", they are full.

    Good deal on having the trans, and you do know to ditch the fan that is on the engine now, correct?

    Cummins 855 535hp Rated

    Small cams weren't the only cam eaters, BC2 and 3 MVT engines liked to eat cams and the early L10 was REAL bad, Seen those leave friday and be back monday, UPS had alot of issues with them

    Cummins 855 535hp Rated

    If you ain't using the truck to pull 80k on a regular schedule, 200-210 will be ok, short trips, parades won't hurt it, BUT, higher than specified rail pressure will break cam follower shafts, roller pins and compromise injector lobes in a very short time. And, if you don't catch the failure...

    Cummins 855 535hp Rated

    It's a morphadite. BC3 and 4 mixture. Used a bc4 oil system, step timing control, bc3 aftercooler, conventional cooling instead of low flow cooling like the bc4. These are rated at that power because they are only used part time and not for prime power, long term running, most likely coupled to...

    Need a replacement oil cooler recomendation

    The one it comes with works fine. You could add an external one if you wanted to, but there i s no need to do so.

    M925a2 running rough

    Sounds like a plugged filter, something in the tank sucking up on the suction tube or air, I doubt air though. Don't care if the filters are new, if you got crap fuel or something downstream let go and got into the filter, they are just doing their job. They are the sacrificial lamb of the fuel...
