    that is the max safe RPM of these! The RPM is key to the braking power! The lower the rpm the retarding power diminishes! speed is horse power its the same at both ends of the spectrum! You risk valve float above this!

    Go with your line theroy and see how it goes !

    Give it a try definitely worth replacing them ! The pump is Ambac worth keeping an ear on too the over run clutch can be an issue! Snap the throttle and listen for it jumping to governed rpm if it travels beyond the governed by more than 50 you may need to have the drive hub serviced!

    yup! here's your wiring harness boys have fun! eeny meany miny moe! spin the wheel of guess which plug ! Gone are the days of politeness ! having a tag for each wire! Joey got me all fired up and Its early! 😡

    Sorry I couldn’t be more encouraging! Take it slow and steady and pay attention pictures pictures!
  7. fjh started following Intermittent injector codes , MP7 coolant in oil and Occasional Engine surge

    Shot in the dark injector cups!

    How long can you afford to be down! Take lots of pictures if you do it yourself! It’s an asshole job and that’s why it’s twelve hours! There is very little that isn’t an asshole job on these new units! A simple 5 minute belt change takes an hour! They are made intentionally hard to discourage people in my opinion!And to pissoff mechanics trying to do there jobs!

    I can take a pic and upload it do so please! I’m not a numbers guy! In an Ambac Pump there is an over speed clutch that can start slipping! And this can lead to a run away!

    Vents are a point of neglect! When a guy is servicing (Checking diff trans levels) it should be part of his ritual to check em! unfortunately Very few do !

    the wiring is shit on these ! It being soaked in oil and heat adds to its shittyness! Also look for oil push at engine ecu plug The sump sensor is also chronic ! The base engine is good aside from cups ! the bolt on stuff is debatable

    can you identify the fuel pump for us! Robert bosch or ABAC?
  14. fjh
    this maybe a short or damaged wire to injector harness? Yes It can be also caused by injector cups and pin connections ! The only way to find out is too ! pull the valve cover and check !
  15. fjh
    an 18 is likely more available And still a descent trans!
  16. fjh
    my self I would try to replace the 4 bottom corner ones! Just because! of the experience's!
