Guys look at it this way, we may never be able to make them pay for their low life ways but our good Lord has a plan for them so if its any help just remember that.That is what makes me get thru the day is knowing in the end they will be begging to let me give them their justice after they see what the Lord has in store for some one who will steal lie cheat and problaly will sell their own kids for more power.

You guys just don't get it, we are here to make their life more easy.The Kenyan is royal and he needs us.

A rag in the intake.I saw that happen just two weeks ago.Some one installed a engine and droped a rag in and it went to the rear cyl and messed with a few minds.

If I had it here I would first take a spare line and injector and connect the line and injector to each connection on the injection pump leaving the injector out in the air and run it. Observe the fuel spray from each barrel and plunger on the injection pump.If they all look the same delivery then check for a blowed head gasket.

The problem with repairing things like a turbo your self is if its going to fail it will in most cases not tell you its going to blow up maybe away from home.Just think what the toll bill would be. I have seen many blowed turbos that caused other damage.Most of the mistakes drivers make is trying to go on to a good parking spot and running it low on oil.If its a toy truck then go for it but if your making a living with it be carefull and do some thinking.Replacing the parts is not that big of deal but knowing when to give up and exchange or repair that is not all that easy.Its not even common for a commercial shop to try to repair them because too many problems like housing wear or wear on the shaft and how to get the wheel off as well as how to get it back together with out breaking a seal.Year back I and many guys have resealed them but not all can be resealed.That turbo there has a double floating bushing meaning a wear can be found on the housing also.

A lot of people in the grave because of DD engines.If you don't know about them don't adjust nothen.

That information may be hard to find now that big brother is watching.

Non of us stop learning and I learn something new ever time I read the forums here.

I had no ideal but I have looked at it this after noon for a few hrs thinking it may not been that heavy with it still on.So I may leave it on.

Would some one know what the weight savings would be by removing a 36 or 40 sleeper that comes about 6' above the cab on a 98 CH?

caging the brakes will not affect the service side.

That myth has been around since I have been working on trucks ,Like been said to many variables to take a measurement at the wheels.One thing that is not a mtth is what was said about a 237. If it was not for them we would not have the big horses we have now. They delievered the material that it took to invent the bigger engines.They made money for a lot of poor people.Ever one could not own a peterbilt.

I am planning on putting a E7 in a CH model to work this spring and it does not have a jake but am going to consider a Telman retarder.I have not called any one on pricing so that may be the killer. Any one on here been around them?

Those cheap jap radios will tell you anything when your out on the road.Look at it this way, no engine manufactory would let the end user which is the truck builder rate their engine.The reason a 237 mack can out work a 290 and 335 cummins is because they have a low end torque rise that cummins did not have back then.With a 5 speed and max torque and HP at 1200 they was more than a 290 cummins.Cummins did try to duplicate the maxidyne with the NHCT 270 with a 5 speed but it was not what a 237 was.A maxidyne was very misunderstood by drivers and may be to this day but its how you drive it.Most guys wanted to keep the rpm up as hi as they could and would not let it pull down were it was working good.

I would leave it along and it will serve you many more miles.I found that when you add power you or any one else soon wishes for more.More power you burn more fuel.

Rated at the flywheel like always

I am just glad I don't have to try to keep up with that stuff anymore.

Is your CEL comeing on?

Different model jake brake

The ENDT673C would have the low end torque if the governor was changed to the maxidyne setings.

If it was a ENDT673b or c you could by replacing the liners with the maxidyn liner that will use the fire ring and cut the groves in the head plus change the fuel pump and maybe the injectors and turbo.Too much expense

What is the model and year engine.

I was going to say something about the centrifugal oil filter and then seen were it had been mentioned.It was the first one that I had heard of and that was in the mid 60s.

You should get a photo and save it and post on all forums you can. I have seen guys do this for years with same result and over and over you still find guys that try it. This may save some time for others.Those fuel tanks is not made for any pressure.

I just hope the driver is the owner of the truck.He may be a new driver the way he plays with the jake brake in one of those videos
