If these are like OTR stuff, caging might not help. Caging releases the spring pressure. If the shoes are rusted to the drums, chock the wheels, build air, release the brakes and roll under it with a hammer. Smack the drums. If you get a ringing sound, they are free, a thud is stuck or out of...

Normal hour meters work when ignition power is on, some do go through a sender that is used as a switch to only record actual run time in the oil rifle....oil pressure closes the switch to send power to the meter....Did you look in the TM section for the manual that works for your truck?

No paint on the inside, coolant will eventually take it off. You can powder coat, that works well.

The book I have doesn't have p/n's that high, it was published in 1997. Call Cummins, you'll need your engine s/n. A good parts guy can figure out what uses that p/n injector. Usually, marine injectors are flowed higher than automotive. Boats don't have down hill, they are constant power...

The pump returns a boat load of fuel. To see if it is an injector issue you need to see if there is flow from the injector return....the small line that is on top of all the injectors that terminates at the fuel filter inlet fitting. The injectors use every drop of fuel supplied to them, there...

Early engines had plastic or whatever it was made of but that didn't last long, maybe 6 mos to a year into production. Easy to look at, 2 bolts. Usually if no coolant is pushing out the overflow, not overheating. So if the gauge says 230 and no coolant leaving the radiator, fan not on, not...

Looks like a Freightliner radiator. Was it pushing coolant out of the overflow? What temp did it get to? Gauges are known to be incorrect.

Smoke yet?

Check the ground to the tank

Check the fuse on top of the in tank pump, that might be why it doesn't work. Also, there is a rubber hose between the pick up and in tank pump that likes to deteriorate. Makes it so when there is 1/2 tank, it will die or do just what you are experiencing.

Any progress?

Yes, the pistons are the same. Rings are the same, but you shouldn't re use rings. I won't say it can't be done, because I have done it to get stuff up and running to finish jobs out in a dirt field or on an oil platform, but 90% of the time if reused, it turns into an oil pump/blow-by queen...

Why do Fords sound like something you would see in a diaper? NOT smooth at all, worse after they are "chipped or tuned".

I think they go in the head or block to locate he gasket...keeps it in place. Most likely the block, it would be hard to keep the gasket on the head while installing it ;)

Yes, a very yellow, smoky flame, but not when there is running engine air flow, I think propane, like someone said above would work well.

I have one of those cannons, need to find a regulator for it!

If you checked pressures and they are where they need to be, I would pull the injectors and have them tested or just get another set. That what I would suggest if all the testing was done. If you have checked pressures, isolated the engine from the chassis, chances are injectors are messed up...

Diesel is WAY different than gas. It won't light like that. Now if you were to install a gas tank, pump and something to atomize the gas at the tailpipe and have a spark plug, you might get flames. But a blown exhaust velocity is a bit different than a carbureted engine exhaust velocity.

Use a volt meter so you get it right. 24 volts melts things! Put it on ohms, go from the block or chassis to one of the cables, it should have a good contact, <10 ohms resistance. That goes to the ground stud...the one on the starter motor. The other side should have an open circuit, WAY >10...

It the original p/n crossed to the p/n of the 3 ring, you should be fine. When those parts are crossed, there is a related service parts topic referenced. That SPT will tell you if you can intermix the new and old pistons, it is a weight thing. Go back to where you got your parts and ask them to...
