It is hard to pick out cylinder issues using a temp gun on a hot engine just because everything is hot. Best way to do that if you have a dead miss is to mechanically short out the injector. I will not explain that because it is very easy to break a rocker box when you do that.

Been there, done that. It is nice to get up off the ground, but the bed can get real cold. Lay down some carpet to help keep your feetsies a bit warmer when you get up and it helps keep the heat in, cold out. My cover was canvas, with the gate up and the rear flap down, it was very easy to sleep...

After 5-10 mins of idle, temps should be close on an engine with a good overhead set, example, 100 + or - on 1- 6, 115 on 2 - 5 and 125 on 3 - 4. If say there is a temp like cyl 2 at 125 after 5 min of idle and the companion cyl 5 has 100 and there is a mess of white smoke, 5 is most likely the...

Push the primer in, re start it, let it idle a bit and see if it smoothes out...it is puffing a bit, but that can be caused by air in the fuel or the primer left out. If it doesn't smooth out, shut it down, let it cool, re start it and feel the exhaust manifold at the exhaust ports, if you have...

Way too long to start and too much smoke. The primer is pulled out, that can cause issues. Didn't sound like it was missing but I did hear the tick/clank, could be air, maybe from the primer being out, but that almost sounds like a broken crimp on a plunger. Did it hard start and smoke white...

A FSOV won't cause an abrupt stop. Put some life in the batteries. Is the oil level over full? If not, no slobber from the joints, coolant not low, you can turn it by barring it. Try and start it. I have seen starters come apart and lock the engine up.

Pull the injectors out of it. Any liquid coming out of the exhaust manifold joints? A stuck injector won't lock the engine. If it didn't make a banging noise it is most likely fluid. You said it barred over, that means it ain't stuck. Maybe try and start it again and listen to the noise in the...

That is BA! I agree, some action shots are in order :not worthy:

Why do both them guys wink at the same time?

Thanks Drew [thumbzup][thumbzup]

I Have the same issue intermittently. Sometimes no space between words. I can backspace then everything works fine. I have had the issue on win 7, 10. both with chrome and both have the latest updtes

Here's as tidbit, in the first pic, a big C, next to that, a small C and next to that a blue/silver badge that says 440 plus. That was a very short lived experiment by Cummins ReCon. small cam....the NHC in these green things...STC, (oil controlled injection), air to water aftercooling, making...

That size came on all midrange engines, A's, B's, C's the little Onan L series. I can't tell you how many engines went to ReCon with them still attached...hundreds. When a ReCon engine came in, they had no badging except for a data tag. Later in life they all started coming with the silver/blue...

I might have a few Cat ones too.

I would NEVER.........

Just a bit of advice here. DO NOT use a screwdriver that has magnetic changeable bits. The bit will fall out and go down into the pan. The bit in the pan isn't an issue, the issue is that if the tool DOESN'T make it to the pan and gets lodged behind the cam follower lever. That will cause the...

Oops. If if went into the pan, you are ok. No issues with that, seen all kinds of things there, but, if the bit went between the cam follower and the housing, the assembly the followers are in, THAT is an issue. If you run it like that and the tool is between the two, you will break the box. For...

" or others listed on the site" I don't see "others listed on the site" like what you have.

Other non US MVs. It is an "other", a "non US" and it is painted US MV color, correct? Is there a data tag in the truck? Pics or it don't exist :whistle:

True, but how times does one want to make a stinkin' diesel fuel mess. Once is good for me
