    Rebuilding after 15 years of storage

    Nothing can be pulled out of the hole because the glow plug is stuck as a whole. It is - we call it mushroomed. In order not to cause more damage, the cylinder head comes down again. It then allows us to take another look at the cylinder surfaces to see if there has been any damage. All together...

    We have original setup for glowplugs. we did not measure the new glow plugs before built in... so it could be that one was defective and so did the others too ... We last fixed a bug in generator 2, which was bought completely new and installed with a new regulator. In the end it turned out...

    I thought something like that. Stored for 15 years and with biodiesel in the system ... 15 years ago I did not empty and clean the system - a mistake that is now taking revenge. Thank you for the clear explanation of how the injector pump works and the error explanation I'll try to clean the...

    Thanks - i know of this diesel cleaner, never used some before on a dieselengine. I will try it. I have already checked the options for an exchange or a repair. It is expensive but also a necessary part for the operation ... This investment is necessary so that the truck becomes an operational...

    The injector pump is not new, not rebuilt or anything replaced. It was just removed and built in on the marks like before. The injector pump is the only thing which is not replaced on the fuelsystem.... and the truck was stored for 15 years.

    Now there is another disappointing update After 15 km we were stranded on the roadside to be towed away again. Until we had this failure, never come over this distance. The engine stopped just without anything else, no noise, just shut down - very popular at the intersection ..... You can...

    As expected an elecrical wire failure. Both generators done their job again. At least next come up :p voltmeter don't work. Today we will have a look on it. If the streak of luck continues then it's just again a cable or relay and not the voltmeter itself. It is probably no longer available as...

    All build up again around the glowplug system - it was not on the glowplugcontroller and not on any relais or the solenoid. It was on the electrical wiring failure. After figure out this and change the defect wiring no more problems at all in that case. It work very good - engine runs smooth and...
