It can be, as far as oil level, pull the rear plug in the banjo housing and see if oil drains out. You may need to pull the side cover to inspect the top reduction.. -

Where are you filling the rearend with oil ? And auto power divider peanuts will chatter, i bet there a 2 grooves ground into the outer cam drum in the power divider.. -
So there arent any codes... Is the fuel hand primer leaking? Its been a while, but i have found the coupler between the tandem pump worn to a point where is was affecting fuel delivery.. but, its been so long now since i messed with MP's.. have you tried to wiggle the engine harness while its running to see if you can duplicate the issue? Still should have codes though.. has anyone been working on the back of the engine, through the dog house?

I bet its an X-107. Look on the left side, front case near the fill plug. It should be stamped in that area.. -
yeah, well if the swap you want is good I would think you can run it.. It's hard to give a good answer when we are not there to see it..
-
sorry.,, I read this again, and got confused.. so the new housing wont let the turbine spin??
-
yes, so there is the exhaust side and the compressor side, Volute is a common name for centrifugal pump housings.. No need to be an ''expert'' a good mechanic is an expert.. if the old one fits the turbo you want to use, then you may be good.. how does the compressor wheel look clearence wise compared to the old housing..?
-
i dont know.. just swap the volutes to see if the fitment and clearence is good.. the new one uses a slip on boot and not a clamp on so yo still have some mods to do if the volute doesnt fit.. You are still in good shape, because you paid 1/3rd the price for the turbo than you could have and it is a more common turbo for E-Techs and there are guys here at BMT that would probably buy it from you if it doesnt fit right..
-
ok... you do not have the boot style I am asking about.. dissregardit,, yours is the older style, not the newer round style..

Looks like a DM sittin there, -
Run it...
-
Ok. The metal on the plug is common, yes looks scary but... As far as the boot, do you have the round shifter boot that pops in the floor pan? If so, there is a second boot under it, and it can pop the shifter out of gear when you let off the throttle...
-
are those gauges showing numbers at low idle? 625-650rpm? I see you are not at 180 degrees, what is it at 180? to me, it looks good given the current pics. 20+ at hot idle is normal for an older worked engine. 40+ going down the road is good too. I suspect 65+ on cold start up in the morning.. so long as oil changes are done in the correct interval..
-
I just went back to the start of this thread... it's a 2000 CH-613, been wrecked,, broken tranny mount,, one thing I forgot about was the shifter inner boot, til now... any chance the inner boot is still there, and is adding to the issue? the tranny mount (rear engine mount) needs to be replaced, but if the inner boot is still there, it needs to be cut out and thrown away.. there was a svc. buletin about this, 20+ years ago..
-
Me either...
-
Here are 2 vin's from my old fleet. They are from late 90's E-7 RD-690 'S' models.. 083858 + 083859.. maybe you can compare yours to this,, only other thing is that these trucks had 385's on Budd wheels.. I know it is NOT exactly what you are looking for but ... who knows.
-
i suggest you drain the oil through a large strainer or colander.. You can get a cheap one at the dollar store.. this way you can see what comes out.. hopefully just oil..
-
Well said MarkT.. I always think of the 'little guy' the one who is trying to keep the family trucks moving, or trying to start out and needs to have a million dollars in order to earn a half a million...

Like we have been saying for 2 decades now.... They make it so that a good mechanic cant make repairs because of the rules and regs dictated by Volvo for example, couple that with the required tools to do the repair, cost sooo damn much money, that it in some cases is not worth buying if you dont have a steady flow of a particular truck model. It forces you to go to the dealership.. And of course you have the computerized side of repairs also..... To me, the truck makers are going to put their reputation on the line if folks just stop buying trucks, because of the crazy high maint. costs..

somehow Quinnipiac Polling says that Kamala is favored over President Trump by 2%... Reporters on the street are asking people who they support, and ALL of the Harris supporters say abortion is the big issue. Of course the news hand picks the footage that they show in order to move an agenda forward.. anyway, I still dont believe that she is as far ahead as is broadcasted.. 16 more days... 🤞
-
is the inlet to the volute a different size? just curious ..
-
sounds good.. i have done a few hub swaps on RW's, so If I can find my notes, I may have info for you..
