All fuel filtering is done pre injection pump. On some pumps, there is an oil filter. Code B, C, D, and E pumps do not have the hydraulic head piston oil filter. Code G and early F have an oil passage which is filtered for the lower part of the piston. This is a highly critical lubrication...

Did you check the master cylinder for fluid? That is always first. If low and if the master cylinder has a check valve cap instead of the air line breather, this will allow a vacuum to develop when the wheel cylinders weep. This takes time to happen. A simple blast of 15 PSI to the master...

The other reason for getting rid of these breathers is seal life. When the axles get hot, the air inside expands and is forced out. This is all fine until the axle cools and the air contracts. Now the seals are pushed in, causing the lips of the seals to press harder and possibly drawing...

Brass fittings, poly tube and relocate to the air cleaner. Make sure there is enough length for full axle drop. Check bearing adjustment. Seals hate any play. And the check valve breathers pull dirt into the seals, causing premature wear.

Glad to see you got it fixed! Since you have been running it a bit, that stack is nice and crusty. When you get it out on the road, a lot of that soot will blow out. The turbo sounds completely healthy. And looks it too.

Wow, on second view, that IS the case. IIRC, there is a gasket that goes in there. And that would make for the slobber mess.

Yeah, it isn't the turbo seals but the exhaust gasket on the turbo. You could tighten that but it is probably rusted which is causing the leak of slobber. Cool weather, high humidity and low operation speeds make this all too frequent. The only other thing that could cause slobber is...

Check to see if the turbo is making boost. There is a pipe plug in the intake for measuring the manifold pressure, a 0-15 PSI gauge is used, run the engine under load when running it up, 2nd or 3rd gear run. If developing pressure on the intake, then there HAS to be pressure on the exhaust...

The ONLY ones who get away with it are farmers with crops in tow. Because I have done it :wink:. But not animals. Harvest equipment, cotton presses and the like also get a break, as long as it has ag tags.

CCAs are not as important since this is a 24 volt system. Total capacity IS important for extended cranking. But most don't need this unless it gets real cold. Largest batteries from Wal Mart should work.

Sounds good! The IP is lubed by engine oil, if it leaks, it is seeping and not real pressure unless it is on the hydraulic head gland, on the side near the FDC. Good you snugged it up. From the input gear, the first segment is the centrifugal timing device, this advances injection timing...

If all of the seal wires are in place and the units are sealed, they should be good to go. The worst thing for injection pumps is dirt. Second is corrosion. Also, get a copy of TM 9-2910-226-24 as the application varies.

Ah, a fine sticking point in the TM. You should only feel a TINY bit of slop when the INNER NUT is properly tightened. When you put the outer nut on and torque it to 50 foot-pounds, all the clearance on the inner nut allows the inner nut to be displaced , removing this play! Got it ? The...

The problem with using torque values arises when you seat the lock nut. Remember, these nuts have clearances. When you set the inner nut to 50 foot-pounds and then snug up the lock nut, you have effectively overloaded the bearings with the torque of the lock nut, each nut is fighting the other...

Add a third battery, wired to charge from a 24-12 converter. Most electronics are protected by a voltage regulator and will be fine. Motors and solenoid-driven hydraulic valves can be damaged. Most hydraulic valves CAN be easily converted to 24 Volt operation. Motors can be swapped. Now...

The spring rate only affects how hard you have to press on the go pedal. But it needs to close the throttle fully.

Ever had a failure on a dual circuit system? I have, you lose more than half your braking ability. It is like a small twin engined airplane, you are fine if the failure happens when you don't need 100%. But when if fails you in dire times, it can lead to more trouble, as in you THINK you can...

On the injector, it looks like someone previewing it was trying to start it and was trying to bleed the lines. But failed so they left it disconnected. Either GL lot staff or an idiot. The problem is most likely a stuck control collar actuator, a real easy fix. What you do is pull the engine...

Air "trapped" in the MC could cause brake drag but if you are talking about the breathers like what is on the axles, this is a check valve, preventing air from entering the master cylinder. This can cause brakes to become inoperative if a vacuum forms. Like if there is a small leak in the...

Well, I am thinking the other parameters would be something I could add in the future. These are total base number, soot level, viscosity and fuel dilution. Ethylene glycol generally turns oil into a semi-solid gel. While it could happen, it usually is a sudden onset situation. And since...
