I had 27-28 last night after adjusting it one more time. Oddly it puts the gauge border line red but I have found the military gauges to be pretty useless. The voltage readings I took at the battery with a good Fluke DVM.
Yeah , I was wondering about that too because Inhave adjusted a few of these and never had one feel like it has clocks to it but this one did and it looked slightly different than others I have had so figured maybe that's how this one is. The Troubleshooting TM did not really address the issue...
My deuce was only at 24v so I tried to adjust the regulator by increasing the voltage adj. it went 1 click and did nothing, 2 clicks I could actually hear the engine lug down a little, it was putting out 28.5v and I would hear a screeching almost like loose belts but belts are tight and in good...
My Ipad had an unfortunate accident and this stupid Samsung junk won't dosnload or ooen TM's.
Working on a Deuce that was butched and the part missing from ths primary. Filter was flopping around in the breeze. I have the assembly of my Deuce but I forgot which waz the cone goes.
Well I got ahold of a guy that works on these old Cummins.
he said the small cam motors are noisy at idle and that mine was idling a bit too low. Basically nothing wrong with. Guess I just never noticed the noise before.
Well, I had a great time. I'll disagree and say the turnout was bit lighter due to crappy weather but I still managed to sell a few thing and blow 800$...:)
i love this show and will continue to go for many years. It is probably the most organized event I go to and the people are wicked nice...
Well, I was talking to one of the mechanics at our fleet where Imwork who is really good with these. He said he would give it a listen but that these motors were noisy at idle because of the gear driven accessory drive and that I may be worrying about nothing.
the YouTube is hard to hear but it...
This is an interesting conversation because I just got some 16.00 xzls and two have run flats in them. I thought about leaving them in and running them on the front but my concern was how much out of balance they will make the tire ?
I pulled all the belts except the water pump(which is much more involved). Still here almost like a squeal but sounds better than it did unless I am going tone def from listening to it. Power steering belts are shot. Hard as a rock and cracked. Fan belts not cracked but kinda dry. Alt belts shot...
Other things we checked was crank shaft end play on the motor seemed fine, the clutch fan pulley seemed like it was moving more than it should but we also were using a 3 ft pry bar . The alt bracket is loose as well but noise not coming from there. Gonna address that as well and order up some...
I am a bit confused on what timing the compressor even does on a common rail but that aside so looking at the Tm since you did this already, I clock that scribed line on the compressor shaft to between 9-10 o'clock looking at it ?
is there a possibility of me screwing this up by a tooth ?
Oh, I got ya. Yeah gonna try that first ...but I know my luck. It won't be a simple fix.
this truck is supposed to haul a bunch of Marines for a fundraiser in a few weeks and I have no choice but to figure it out it needs and fix it. I am praying something catastrophic is not coming apart...
That is a great vid but could you detail the timing a bit more ?
I'm gonna try to download the tm but it's hard to navigate on my tablet.
didn't understand 1-6 thing ?
It does seem to me that the engine vibrates more that it did. Would I have to re time anything to pull that ? Can I yank the compressor with the Cp pump ?
i got a bad feeling you are right.
it seems to vibrate like an 8.3 Cummins.
is this a common failure ?
i have a junk 250 from an 818 but the...
Came back from Sussex to this noise. I know YouTube is hard to hear. Sounds like coming from front of motor. Seems to get better if you increase RPMs. At first is sounds like a noisy air compressor running but the air pressure was up and compressor off.
i know this is gonna be another "never...
