Go to the heavyduty section on this site http://www.thedieselgarage.com/forums/index.php good info site.the posistion sensor under the compressor somtimes gives problems on these!check your engine grounds and battery conections!

I have heard that the early 350HP had the tip turbine/water combo as well. This is a fact! All the above posts are valid coments ,No real advantage or disadvantage the frontal air cleaned up the engine compartment mostly the tip turbine engine likly would give a little less turbo lag not really noticable to the average guy!And as usual the frontal air was paving the way to the 4 valve engine that was the main reason for the change.No real advantage or disadvantage

I'm jealous . If you ever get a haul for where you are to Vancouver Island You need to stop and at least say HI! I'll even give ya back haul a truck load of politicians’ we need to get rid of!Oh wait you already got some! Well have some more!Cheaper by the dozen.

In this case he asked for it to be done!He paid!I made the plate it takes but fifteen minutes to make a plate did that for free.If I find this to be worth the while I will be doing this at exhast gasket time!IF asked to do so! Under a job line on the work order REPAIR EGR system.

So truck three was back this weekend hes seeing no loss of power maybe even an increase and as of yet no milage gain on the mpg But thats on the VIP read out averaged over how many miles? So the saga continues and the jury still out for a while!If we gadually start seeing an increase that will tell the tale!Hes been getting the same milage from day one so its going to take quite a while to read any increase on the vip!EGR code still intact!

I had Three in service !(truck 2) Back down to two the guy claimed it reduced his power! The first guy I did is happy saving 40 bucks a day in fuel no power complaint. truck three verdict is still out on he has thrown a code but it took a hundred miles to do so no power decrease and no coment on the fuel savings as of yet this was well worth trying thou! 68 A thought here what happens if the egr valve gets stuck in the half way postion by say, capping off the oil flow to the valve???

The If its an AMBAC pump you can remove just the governer to have the repairs done! If its a robby bosch the pump has to come off!its been awhile since we had any pump work done but some where in the 1000 buck range sounds correct! take your pump No#s in and Get a quote!

I hate changing parts but it come to a point when ya got too!Heres another one to change there is a ground falt breaker on older units its the small rectangle thing up by the starter relay on the fire wall black wires go to it ,try jumping that out and see if your problem changes!If it does replace it!

Yup like Trent has said check the the throtle lever internal spring if there is any movment between the spring ends this will cause the engine to surge!If its not loose then the govener is at falt!

Its a wet sleave engine, you need to pull the pan down a look to see where the coolant is coming in! It is likly liner orings But oil coolers have been known to fail as well!Parts a quite pricey so think VERY heavy on looking for a diffrent truck!

Giant 2 the engine he has has roller lifters!His failure is as 68 discribed ,Nature of the beast! The cam failures are pretty much few and far between now once, the newer ceramic lifter is installed!(For the most part) The flat tappet lifter of the pre ETeck engine was improoved just before the ETeck engine came along!Since that time I have never seen that improoved lifter fail.It is used in all the earlier engines including the E6 And V8.

A poor spraying injector will also cause problems like this!

It is simply the main fuel pump plug !When you have this apart look at it head on and see if there are any signs of heat, brown looking areas on any of the plastic pin bosses If you find any that look discolored I would go to the dealer and have it repined!

Take this plug apart as directed above and put it together and take it apart 6 or 7 times blow it out and try it this may help.If not take it to a dealer and have them re pin the plug.

I beleive there are three ,If you take it off at the 4 bolts it will hang up on the hub inside!There is one real long one on the bottom 6 - 8 inches and two shorter ones 3-4 inch on the top 13 or 15 mil heads can't remember sizes.The timing advance stays on the engine.the first little section stays with the pump.There is a loose or floating coupling inside.

Welcome to the site! You simply unbolt it from the fuel pump end!First you need to set the engine on its static timing mark on the fly wheel veiwed thru the six hole small plate on the bottom.You remove the timing event marker on the side of the fuel pump (single two wire plug) and peer in the hole there should be a wide blade screwdriver looking tab if its not there you need to turn the engine 180 deg and look again once you have that tab dead center in the timing event marker hole and the engine on the timing mark typicly 7 Deg you can safely remove the pump removing the 3 bolts holding it on!

That price is what we pay for a recon up here in Canada.

We got to fine sum first!Don't think anybodys making one as of yet! This is where we need to get in here 68, put a tiger torch in an old oil barrel mount it under the passenger side cab and call it a dpf We could stand to make millions!

Thought I would post this for discusion! The BC government has lost there marbles If they ever had any! SUBJECT: Upcoming Diesel Retrofit Requirement Managers, Victoria Carrier Safety Inspectors Driver Services Centers Motor Vehicle Inspectors Government Agents TRANS (Director, Chair Passenger Transportation Board Supt. of Motor Vehicles Transportation Policy) Deputy Director, CVSE Trucking Industry Regional CVSE Managers Law Enforcement Agencies Managers, ICBC Licensing Commercial Transport Insp. ADM (Compliance and Consumer (Inspection Stations) Services) Passenger Transportation Branch ____________________________________________________________________________________ PURPOSE OF CIRCULAR To advise that an amendment to the Motor Vehicle Act Regulations will come into effect on October 1, 2010. This will require that heavy duty diesel vehicles of the model years 1989-1993 be retrofitted with emissions reduction devices. This requirement will apply to vehicles with licensed gross vehicles weights of more than 8,200 kg that are required to be inspected under the Commercial Vehicle Inspection Program (CVIP). The following vehicle classes will be exempt from the requirement:  Buses  X-plated vehicles  Emergency vehicles  Farm vehicles with LGVW under 17,300 kg Acceptable emissions reduction devices reduce particulate matter (PM) emissions by at least 20% and are verified by the following agencies:  US Environmental Protection Agency: http://www.epa.gov/otaq/retrofit/verif-list.htm  California Air Resource Board: http://www.arb.ca.gov/diesel/verdev/vt/cvt.htm The diesel retrofit will be an additional inspection item included in the Commercial Vehicle Inspection Program. Impacted vehicles will not pass their required periodic vehicle inspection without a retrofit. CVSE roadside enforcement will also be monitoring compliance of this requirement. BACKGROUND The diesel retrofit requirement was originally announced by the Minister of Environment in June 2007 as part of the Air Action Plan. The intent of the initiative is to reduce harmful particulate matter emissions from heavy emitting diesel vehicles by at least 20%. Particulate matter is a significant air quality and public health concern and is linked to cardiovascular and respiratory hospitalizations, respiratory diseases, chronic obstructive lung disease, chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, heart disease and lung cancer. Vehicle owners will be responsible for the cost of the retrofit estimated to be between $1,200 and $2,500 depending on vehicle type. Further information (FAQs) can be found at: www.th.gov.bc.ca/cvse/diesel_retrofit/. Link to Air Action Plan: http://www.bcairsmart.ca/. For questions on this initiative contact: diesel.retrofit@gov.bc.ca or call 250-356-9797. Greg Gilks, Anyone know where we can get aprox 10000 dpf addon kits quick?????????????/ These guys are serious!

I agree with a lot of what you have said here ! Althou I beleive the v8 died long before Sven and Ollie took over,Blaming volvo for that is not the right thing, the EPA killed the v8.

>Let it idle for 16 hours last night and when i left the truckstop this morning smoked like an old pos detroit that was on fire. < Far as Im concerned ,look no further than that statment above For your oil burning problem and the turbo leak! Idling is the absolute Worst ,thing you can do to a diesel or any kind of engine No ,load is a no no period!

If its a warrenty item you should get it delt with!Is the fault light coming on?If there is a solnoid problem the computer will throw a engine brake driver code!Question Did those guys replace any rocker bolts?Were there any charged out on any of the reciepts you got, Just a thought (not tring to put the fear of god into you) but if rocker bolts are backing off you may be loosing oil preasure to the rocker shaft.

With out good info comments are usless until you have good info!As I mentioned things change from year to year horse power to horse power.

I.m doubtfull on the warrenty thing Chuck 68 be the man to talk to. Parts warrenty I beleive is a Year, Transferable ? Duno! Make sure its not the turbo drain tube!
