  1. Stoped up with what!
  2. I would block the egr before taking out the screen!
  3. Its there for a reason!!!! Just replace it once in awhile.
  4. I got two customers running with the plate. the one claims to be getting 40 bucks a day better fuel milage with egr code The other more power, but no milage gain as of yet with an egr code!Why you have no egr code is a real mistery as 68 mentioned before its real odd!Having said that the egr code took along time to come on with the one truck several hundred miles but it did show up.
  5. Huss has been a pain to get a hold of !I beleive we have found some one to supply Compeditive? duno? ! ?? Donalson has one and they are our filter supplier ,but KW was on the ball and got an exclusive contract so we can't buy there with out going to a KW dealer that puts us at a disadvantage price wise.A real rock and a hard place!I asked Barry a while back if he new of a supllier but Huss was the only one he new of and You guys down south haven't needed to retro fit yet! Guess we are the guinea pigs on this round.I hate this emmions shit with a passion it's cause the most unreliable peices of junk to be produced in along time. and now were going to screw up something that was once depenable with an add on. GREAT !
  6. From what I can see of the picture theres a wire to the valve cover disconect that also it apears there is a wire at the fuel pump on the little square cover that is where the switch is located if it is there!I have see lash ajusters stick from time to time That as others have mentioned will cause a miss and white blu smoke!The solnoids under the valve covers can work loose and can cause oil preasure to bypass the solnoid orings and go directly to the engine brake gallery in the rocker shaftThis causes a three cylinder miss and smoke!
  7. In some respects the laws are as strict, as I posted earlier this month the province has decided that any 89 to 93 unit has to have a dpf fitted to it as of october or you will not be able to licence it.

  9. And re and re the cam to replace the cam key if you want to go to 460.I highly doubt they would have any say over a truck that old! If the truck was still under warrenty then yes there would be limitations!
  10. Yet another Good call Herb! We actually been finally having deceant luck for the most part with the few that have been sold here! The Asset was away more touble for longer, when it came out!
  11. Talk about baiting people on!!!!!!
  12. Good call rhasler!
  13. I cant speak for the bolt on ones!But! You can buy the mack style cartrage at Napa as well! Also not being an arse but the centramax was introduced on the 4 valve E6.The best thing since sliced bread for getting crap out of the oil ,in my opinion Iv'e seen em pluged solid with goo! Yet another good Idea thrown out the window by the Volvo people! If they didn't think of it its not a good idea! Its really to bad these guys didn't take a good look at what they inherited and examine the some of the good property's and ideas that were incorporated in it!
  14. Agree check the air filter!Its likly an air issue possibly boost leak ,highly unlikly an injector issue
  15. Do you have alot of blu smoke on startup?He may be right if not hes pulling your chain!The thing should sputter and slober for 5 minutes or so before cleaning up! if its worn out!
  16. hasler brings up a good point on the back section of the trans! also Check to make sure the yoke bolt is tight as well these come loose from time to time!!
  17. Does the same job as puff limit! yup replacing it like Rob mentioned can't hurt! It is getting old!
  18. You should need no either to start !You need to check your fuel preasure at the pump its loosing prime sumwhere your transfer pump check valves or somthing look for any evidence of fuel leaks chect the plastic return to the head at the front of the engine the jumper between the heads ect!
  19. Pull the 4 screws and have a look at the diphram its not that bigg of deal then you won't be guessing! Next you will need to check fuel preasure you need to tee into the system right at the fuel pump inlet you need 25 psi or better under fuel load!Your problem is fuel related as you have no excess smoke.
  20. This is as true a statement as there ever was! New trucks are a snowball to start with!
  21. I agree with Herb, the smoke limit ( LDA) likly has a hole in it!The way to check it is to remove the line to where it goes on the manifold and suck on that line if it will not hold the vacuam you create with your mouth it has a hole in it and it needs replacing!Also you need to varify that the throtle is going to full fuel open! and the stop to fuel open.
  22. Sounds to me like the transfer pump is fubar!
  23. From what I have read here you need to pull the rad and a=have it disassembled and cleaned at a rad shop!But you should test the fan hub before jumping to that conclusion .use the card board in front of the rad trick that Herb mentioned, a 4 inch hole cut in it right in front of the thermal spring! you will be able to hear the pitch change if it is working properly.
  24. There should be a drain back valve on the fuel pump it will have a small 1/4 inch line going up to the head and the other goes to the fuel tank if you remove the top of that valve and check the spring you may find it broken! You may also have a failing fuel transfer pump or a perforated suction line to the tank!I would fill the filters with clean fuel the next time you try to start pumping takes for ever!
