New to 5 ton what is the model of this one

[fasttruck]

White smoke when running ? This may indicate coolant leaking into the combustion chamber and being burned with the fuel. Take the cap off the expansion tank and see if the engine is blowing bubbles within which would suggest a blown head gasket.

Hi

Here is the latest video.

It turns out I was given the wrong spec for adjusting the injectors.

After doing the injector adjustment again using the spec for the older injectors it now runes quite well.

I would guess I was getting the injection about 10 degrees past TDC.

That's quite a bit of white smoke, what does it smell like? It could be a stuck injector, low compression on one or more cylinders, or head/head gasket issues. I'd start with the basics and check coolant and oil for signs of contamination and track from there. You can run the engine with the coolant cap off and watch for bubbles if it's a bad head/head gasket. If you keep it idling listen for a miss or if it warms up use a temp gun to check cylinder temps for a "dead" cylinder which could be anything from stuck injector to bad piston rings/liner/etc. You can always send the injectors out to get them pop tested and calibrated too. More advanced steps would be compression testing cylinders and pressure testing the cooling system but only after the mentioned above steps.

It sounds good in the video when running high but I couldn't tell if there was something rattling around at low idle or it was the echo off the metal building.

Hello all

I am back with a new problem.

The truck has been doing quite well even if it does get stuck a lot.

The power steering belts failed and the pieces went thru the fan drive belts so I need to change all 4 belts.

Can someone give me the part number for these belts?

2 power steering belts and 2 fan drive belts.

Napa numbers would be the best for me but anything that can be cross referenced.

Post a good photo of the engine dataplate
Is it an 8.3 Cummins turbodiesel?

 

[Phil P]

Hi

Thanks I forgot about that.

It is a Cummings 250 no turbo.

Here is the picture I have of the data tag.

Note the date of manufacturer 4-84.

If practical I would like to obtain the part numbers of all the belts in Napa or CARQUEST part numbers or any of the common belt manufacturers.

The parts book for the 939 series truck is available on this site. You can look it up yourself which will yield a NSN which most auto parts stores can translate into a Gates or whatever number.

 

[fasttruck]

NSN for fan belts appears to be 3030-01-118-1318.

 

[Phil P]

Thanks for that but I have the parts book and came up with the same number.

However so far neither NAPA nor Advance has been able to cross reference those numbers.

I haven’t tried O’Reilly auto parts yet.

I ran out of time yesterday so will try them tomorrow.

I found a company on the internet call ADparts or something like that that crossed the fan belts to a Dayco number but couldn’t do anything with the other numbers.

Thank you Fuzzytoaster

That is just the answer to all parts questions.

It must have taken hours of time to put that together.

I can't claim credit on that one. I just happen to have it on my toolbar and saw your post.

Hello All


Now I have a new problem again.

This truck will start cold and run until it reaches normal temperatures then it shuts off.

It will start back up but requires some more cranking time than normal but will run again for about 10 min and do it again.

I have pressure tested the system looking for what would be an air leak in the fuel line and filter between the tank and the injection pump.

No leaks so I put a clear jar on the return line and ran the truck. The return fuel will run a full stream for a couple of minutes then I get some bubbles then a full stream for a few min etc.

Does anyone have any idea what may be the problem?

Thanks

Phil P

Hi

FER: M929

I have a question.

Someone told me there was a kit to replace the fuel filter with a “spin on” fuel filter.

Can any one give me a part number and source for this.

Thanks

What engine do you have ? If it is a NH250 Fleetguard offers such an adapter as Adaptor Kit #2, N 3300923 Ought to be available either on line someplace or from a big truck dealer or parts house or a Cummins dealer in your area. I got mine from the Cummins dealer in Phoenix.

Bubbles are generally a sign of air getting into the fuel system. Sounds like something is just a smidgen loose and opens up as it gets warm, allowing air into the system. Check all the fuel lines and connectors when it is warmed up.
