    Lack of power/smoke

    Ok so after getting the truck to my home and needing to do some work on it. It still has a miss. just cant tell which cylinder. I replaced all 6 of the injectors. and the return lines are clear. spray ether into the air filter while its running and it smooths out and quits smoking. So i assume...

    Lack of power/smoke

    Took it up to where I am doing some work at just to see what it will do. I needed to move my John Deere 120 excavator (29,000lb) to my new job site, around 10miles away. It didnt do to bad. My GN trailer is around 10,000lbs so I had a pretty heavy load behind it and it didnt do to bad...

    Lack of power/smoke

    Not a dead miss but it has NO guts at all on hills. 10mph was the maximum i could go on the 4-5% grade. Just started running like crap. Started puking oil to and have a fuel leak from somewhere. Think its the lines at the pump that go to the injectors but they are as tight as they can go. I am...

    Lack of power/smoke

    So i replaced both of the filters on the side of the engine. There is no primary filter under the alternator. Im sure since this motor was swapped into the truck he ommited it. It still has a miss. Pulled the lines and blew them all out and had fuel coming out of all of the nozzles at the...

    Lack of power/smoke

    It ran fine for the 90miles and then after i hit some hard bumps the problems started. I am thinking it loosened things off the bottom of the tank and then this all started happening along with the fuel leak. I pumped the tank out today since it had around 50gallons in it I am almost down to the...
