Yup! Just like a Ubolt is a spring Clip! Dumb ass vocabulary ! (Swedish ) That is the best thing for checking THE WHOLE system right there ! At one point in the engine cycle if you get it in the right spot in engine rotation .you can acheive almost full seal and build the intake pressure to operating pressure with shop air ! only done it once on an MP engine it does work! But used this set up on V8 and E7 all the time !

Agreed! Some are just nurses ! Some just plain Parts Chuckers! And some times you need to go with your best guess we all been there ! That said comes down to Experiences !More experience more knowledge gained! We had a few guys that had a real decent handle on what the ECU wanted to see and went in search of the parameters before pulling out the Parts cannon and usually even if the engine was deleted could get to a reasonably quick repair! But you have to be reasonably good at listening to what the operator is saying and sometimes they don't reveal the whole story ! We see it here All the time! Only part of the story!

These were a comparable decent engine in my mind to E7 ! They had it over the e7 in the engine brake Department! I heard rumor's that an in frame could be accomplished in an 8 hour shift in some applications!

I to assume they are doing the right things! That said when I see the parts cannon being used I sometimes wonder!?

So it looks to me they have been using the parts canon to a great degree here! I'm not the guru here how ever! A question for( MP or OXY )do you have to do a learned data reset with a turbo change? Also don't see anywhere where they checked the valve set are Engine brake slaves OK? That said the truck hasn't been asking to frequent regens which would accompany a turbo issue usually! if so wonder if they are doing so!

To some degree ! The e7 block is a more durable design! Pushing the e6 beyond 300 is a crap shoot!

YUP ! First and foremost if u get a call from a computer ! It answers you in a computer voice for instance - ( This is a call from the Fraud Dept from any bank or instatution!) Hang up ! Just a BULLSHIT Call ! I have a whole list of BS numbers in my phone! That said! they now got tech that will show a call as being local even if they are calling from india! So call blocking isn't an option these assholes are just phishing for anything to exploit! JUST HANG UP! If it is important they will have a REAL person Call and as you said Call the institution your self to be sure can't be to careful! They are banking on Panic ! On your part don't take the bait! Just Don't !Same with texts and emails Don't click on links don't Reply just delete and phone them if your worried! and get your phone number from a reputable source!

Griff if you want to try something unless they changed the design I was able to tighten the spring in the boost dump valve you may want to pop it back off and see if that is still doable!?

So check your tank vent make sure the fuel tank is getting vented! Make sure you listen for a sucking sound when you remove the lid if you hear a woosssh the vent is plugged!

150000 miles! I would try do the head gasket! I have seen these go 30000 plus hours ! Check the block for crack’s if it’s ok do the head gasket just my opinion!

You did good replacing that bypass valve they were made to start reliving around 20 psi it sounds to me that ! That new valve stuck for the first bit! I did alot of messing about with these when the engine first appeared on the seen ! I corked that bypass off completely on one truck ! The Vgt will generate WAY MORE air than that engine needs regardless of fuel ! It will pound the boost gauge to the MAX on a regular basis! The valve is meant to protect the turbo from Over Spooling and God Knows these turbos had a bunch of issues in the beginning! That said The EGR valve stuck open is another thing that could have been happening here ! Don't know give the stuff Joey has presented A try ! Keep us posted!

I suggest you stand and stare a both the engines side by side compare stuff ! An engine is not just an engine! They are sometimes model specific ! Different accessory's fan hub heights P/s pump placement front mount arrangement lots of subtle stuff as stated the donor truck is going to help if its the same model ! The job is doable to some degree ! but May be a real pain!

yup pretty useless bunch!

yup

Yup we used to order the V8 cam and turbo for the 650 horse useing this method good call MP If its possible thru the dumbass parts system they are using!

Yup Watch your step pal! I find I'm Quite clumsy on my feet these Days! Even when I can see where I'm going! 🤣

So Paul I had a quick look at the tractor this morning ! The PTO lever was at half mast! half in half out! would this cause the issue We were having with the 3 point? I will give it a try later today I guess I'm really curious why only reverse it would work, weird! The PTO has a cover over it appears it wasn't in use!

Paul the lever is all the way back! the 3 point functions with no load in the shop the three point will lift a decent size log when the tractor is in reverse ! When you select a forward gear in first and low and let the clutch out it will drop the log and you now have no traction to move it! a real odd situation in my mind! My davey brown wont balk at doing this only I have no counter weigh with davey it has you looking skyward ! The furg has a loader more weight on the front! I 'm wondering if the valve block is shuffling in the bottom and bumping up against the draft control lever?when in a forward gear!

So another issue has surfaced with the massy here the three point hitch will only lift weight backing up! Soon as you pick a forward gear and let the clutch out to move forward the load drop s any ideas on this!

Can you work its ass? Running at an idle is not the greatest!

Stat first 150 to cold! How long are you running it? need to get it hot!

WELL ! Bet you slept well last nite Joey! 😅 Obviously the shop doing the job, did not, if they care! Like Onyx says done one you done ten! How ever again this comes down to experience attention to detail and patience! Also did these guys confirm the cups were fubar! was there evidence of the injectors dancing , carbon build up,cracks etc. Did they follow all the steps did the use the magic grease on the seal? ! There are lots of ways to beat the book time skip the tune up portion of the job bla bla bla ! that said do you want to be the guy that's doing it twice? Micro cracks on the injectors is quite common did they re use the injectors ? Likley! These arn't your garden variety 400 cummins that any jackass can replace an injector! they are temperamental you have to pay attention on how you work on them mainly to the half baked fuel system design ! SO Follow procedure and things should go ok AS long as you don't miss something !They changed from the copper cups to stainless how ever it only half assed fixed the problem ! The design is flawed as I have said before ! How ever it is work for people as long as its done right! If everything was perfect on these, guys like Pro, Onyx wouldn't have a job! If these engines had a proper fuel system on them they would be bullet proof! And they wouldn't sell any parts! 🤣 also if it weren't this problem I'm sure something else would come up!

Yup get on it!

Yup same to everyone here happy year folks ! Joe you’re doing the right thing bro stick with what you know! You need to embrace this new stuff and sort of believe in it! Don’t know about you but myself ! I don’t! It’s Too fragile and temperamental! 😂
