Truck took a dump !!! Now the fun begins!!

Posted

Hey fellas, I know it's been a while since I have posted! Been extremely busy lately at work!:doh: But any ways my brother has been driving the "beast" alot more lately than I have, since I bought the 06. Well he tells me it has been kinda of spuddering a couple of times but it clears up, well today he was driving it hauling a trailer and 30 hp new holland tractor. He says he was cruising about 45 mph and all of the sudden it spudders, and starts knocking a little and immidately shut it down! He also said that it's bellowing coal black smoke! Talked to MoparMan, and we both feel I have an injector problem. Going to tow it in tonight and start tearing down to see!

Well fellas, I'm in a foul mood now. I think I have found the culprit on why my injectors went bad and I'm smoking like the engine is still cold!:doh::banghead::( I drained the fuel water seperator on my ad 165 and I have drained two 44 ounce fountain drink cups of slight fuel and lots of water!:banghead::banghead::banghead: So what do I do now?

:duh: ?? Where did you last fill up ? Got another car to go get some diesel ?? Id get a pump and drain as much fuel out of the tank into a fuel container. Then refill with fresh fuel. Bleed/prime and restart. thats a bummer dude - seriously:banghead:

If you have the receipt and its the last 48 hours I would make a video as you dump it. At least to get your $130 back at a minimum thats a big hassle man - assume the water in fuel cel didn't kick in ?

A good station owner will pay for the repairs if they are at fault. I would talk to them.

that sucks. at least you have agood pump to pump the tank dry.

Well I bit the bullet and ordered a reman vp44 from a local supplier. Cost was just shy of a $1000.00:cry::cry::cry::cry: Decided that I would attempt to install this afternoon and after about 1.5 hrs, She's up running good again!!!:hyper::hyper::hyper:It was a costly job but not to bad doing it myself! I want to say thanks to all of y'all and espcially Micheal aka MoparMan! After a couple of conversations on the phone I found a few no no's I have been doing!:smart::smart::smart::smart:

Well now you have me wondering what the NO NO's are so all of us can learn from your mistakes.
