Really no one else sends there oil out to Blackstone with all the worry. Seems like it would also be nice to know about the rest of your engine too. I do all the trucks I drive on a regular bases.https://blog.amsoil.com/do-older-vehicles-need-high-zinc-motor-oil/
Greg and I derailed a thread when discussing IP problems. So I did this in response to his last post and off the good meds with clear thoughts. As for you get back to work Allen and yes we will get it running.
Going from the bottom line and working up, plunger or head bad. Yep but have no real way or easy way without spinning up the IP to check correct pressures. We have our fingers crossed.
Secondary fuel block over pressure valve. Yep it would for sure steal the pressure / flow away from the IP...
This was posted by Rustystud along with some tm's in the thread we derailed.
OK, first off the "overflow valve" does not keep pressure at 60 PSI . That is the job of the "fuel pressure relief valve" .
Second, the hole is there for "air" accumulation to escape and for "cooling" of the pump...
Ok starting this thread because we were derailing another.
Allen aka Florida AKM bought a nonrunner and looks like both the engine heads were removed at one time. We decided to remove the IP Head and yes the button was off but also the spring was broken for the plunger. Allen got all the parts...
I don't think we should keep derailing this thread. I am getting ready to leave the house now for Newberry and maybe we can find a thread on the IP and discuss the finer points you brought up. Also I am still half asleep. I will say I got a "smile" on my face when you finely called the "plunger"...
For the diagnostics of the PT and engine. If I remember that port was rail pressure. I can't remember the short letters used for the scan tool. Sure someone will know the correct letters. STEC/something something??? Plug it as Wes said.
The inner part just holds the seal to the installing tool and the flat part does the pushing. As said if you have trouble just use a small hammer and install it straight in with it. Now if your doing the ctis seals then can't help you. I did away with the ctis seals when I switched to 5 ton...
Good thought but we have the emergency shut of if a PT ever ran away. In most cases the Deuce is the is the one that has the fuel control that sticks at WOT in less he has a multi fuel in has 5 ton. Do believe he has the Cummins 250 because of the thread where the OP asked about the emergency...
Looks real good but the inner hub seal is a flat lip and just needs a hammer to install. I do have the correct one that I got off the bay along with the spindle nut socket.
Plenty of flow. Delivery valve checked. Could check over flow valve but I don't not believe that will be the problem. Easy to check it but not that important I believe right now. The over flow helps hold head pressure and opens more as the boost pump get up to pressure. Case in point if the in...
Yep my last Blackstone came back at 1242 and Rotella no additives. I don't ever add any but as said Rotella or Delo and no worries and always good reports. Always best to have it tested if you think your oil can not match up to these. Lets see some more Blackstone reports from other OP's if you...
If you state has a yearly inspection it will be tough to do what it takes to really wake up the Duramax. Also you have your warrantee to watch out for. I have Kory Willis EFI live tune and four to five inch stainless from turbo straight out. Some other small program adjustments but it rocks...
Sorry post # 5 showed the M18 fuel and then your post's so I believed that tool was the one in question. I love my M18 fuel 3/4 impact and the 1/2 drive tool. I have not touched a breaker bar or cheater pipe since I got it. Was just wanting people to know if you use / do a lot of tire work this...
