Fixed it for you. Clarification the mat of debris that builds up on the condenser requires the oil coolers to be moved away from the condenser to clean off.

And the most overlooked thing in A/C repair is the fan that removes the heat the A/C system is pulling out of the cab because the engine isn't spitting coolant overheating. 160F condenser temp is in the overheat high head pressure range for a R134A system. The engine will not overheat with a...

Curious as to the size and kind trailer, terrain aka what part of the country, and what it's actually getting for MPG? The major problems for HD use were not addressed: a turbo that's too small. The van has the better manifolds and you should have the most updated cooling system although GM...

Maybe you did this 5+ years ago and your fan clutch is aged out as they loose 200 RPM a year. The E/V electronic clutches could compensate for this although they get slow to respond as they age. You have a taken your Dodge back to the OBSOLETE STONE AGE with the Spring Thermal Fan Clutch! The...

I assume new rod bolts? Just from the runaway fatigue.

Come on over to The Darkside. We have coffee! Even a modern Gasoline engine will do a better job than the vintage pickup you have now. Ride in a new 400+HP 1000+ Ft LB Cummins and I bet this truck gets Farm Duty. Cummins is proud of their parts and RAM, although improved, is not known for...

Gapless rings should allow the engine oil interval to go longer although soot not metals was the limiting factor I would run into. Small difference between runaway to failure and overspeed. If the engine doesn't pop a rod it can have serious bearing damage from it. Aircraft engines are well...

:facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: My experience with alternate fuel was very expensive. I have said many times a bad injection system will take the diesel engine with it. I would suspect the alternate fuel wasn't burning well or they got hold of peanut or other oil that simply gums the works...

Check for codes. A nightmare long list is also the same problems outlined below as the ECM "fries" on low voltage, brownout, and can't function properly until voltage is high enough. So clean grounds. Separate and load test batteries. NPF? than replace the ignition switch and autopsy the old...

Focus on this. No dash lights = NO ECM Power! Offhand I suggest it's the ignition switch.

You will be better off towing the RV with the 350. On the OEM turbo I bet the MPG will be the same towing: the 350 and the 6.5TD both getting around 7 MPG. Unless the 6.5TD has a bigger turbo (bigger turbo gets better MPG towing) and all the cooling system updates, HO water pump, 9 blade or...

The 3 bolts on the IP gear will not all go in if that happens.

It's not physically possible to jump the IP gear out of time as there is NOT enough clearance in the chain drive housing to allow the gears to un-mesh. I have tried it. However, the timing chain will stretch out to very very sloppy from the normal shock IP loads and I have seen the sprockets...

Also: Sniff test to see if it smells like gasoline.

Ok so prior diag is ... Do NOT let these people touch this engine again! Knowing the CPS is bad, but, they change the IP for lack of a tool?! Then they decide to use engine destruction in a can. You only use ether when the engine is expendable and it's a life or death emergency. Otherwise FIX IT...

Still have the old IP? Where is the "new" rebuilt or whatever IP from? Lots of krap out there being sold. Video on youtube and link here. The exhaust will tell you, and us, a lot about what is happening. Smoke puffs etc. Remove the oil cap and check for "huffing" blowby. Any codes present? How...

I replace both the high and low side valves EVERY time I touch a system. Debris from compressor wear and/or heat damage ruin em. Dorman, if they only make ONE good product, here it it: 902-025 A/C Port Plug. Seals off the high side with a leakproof plug cap they way it should have come from...

You have checked this as part of the troubleshooting today I assume? Nothing gets a free pass. Check codes before your ground cleaning clears them. I would also verify your fuel pressure to the IP is ok esp at higher RPM. Clear return line off the IP and look for bubbles. Vacuum hoses are...

These engine have a governor. The IP returns an insane amount of fuel to the tank. So you can get a very good idea of what the LP pressure is just by snapping the throttle WOT and leaving it at max RPM a few seconds to get a reading. Better to do it under load, yes. But convenience and you only...

I called Walbro and asked why I couldn't get these anymore. They retooled their factory during the slowdown from the lockdowns and they simply haven't made another production run of these. One other difference of note is the higher pressure pump would pump on a timer regardless if it needed to...
