Well finally after having enough of the dumb thing we called in another pair of eyes and within a few mintues we found our problem. The pushrod for had not seated back into the lifter and was not opening nor closing the intake valves up. After taking the truck back apart, readjusting the intake valve and all the jake valves the truck fired up and purred prettier than a kitten. Can anyone tell me what the proper lash is for the jake brakes? What I found on the internet said .080. And also what could be done to make the jake's feel stronger? They feel as if there only there for slowing the truck empty and they sound horrible like a weak fart.

We went back and readjusted the valves this morning. They were all a little tight but the intake valves on that cylinder were so close it was stuck open a little. This miss is still there were now scared its a bent valve. My question is if we did not change any of the lashes how did that happen and would y'all say its a bent valve also? Thanks Twigg.

Hi everyone new to this site, been searching the internet for a while with no luck on my issue. Today we put a new set of injectors in out 1993 CH613 do to 2 weak injectors and loss of power. After doing the injectors and putting the truck all back together we fired it up and now we have a dead miss in cylinder 2. We've pulled the injectors back out and switched two of them around with the same outcome, check injector lines for maybe a clog and no clog, checked injector line up to the injector and it seems good, pump flows good amount of fuel. We've spent 4.5 hours trying to figue out what it is with no luck. If anyone has some information or advice it would be greatly appriceated. Thanks, Twigg.
