    forklift strikes again

    forklift strikes again

    Looks like they are finding new ways to damage equipment this engine has nine hours on it what a shame funny how it always happens to a newer engine as opposed to a old worn out one..

    6.2 ticking noise?

    First thing I would do is check if the exhaust smokes more out of one side of the exhaust more than the other then if one side does smoke than the other crack the injector lines loose at the injectors.
