    Engine question

    Me and a buddy were looking over my engine compartment the other day and he made a comment about the slanted (or angled) out oil neck with the plastic screw on oil cap. He mentioned that he'd had an 85 and 86 6.9 but they both had the vertical oil neck with the metal cap. I got to thinking about...

    Any guess on this occurrence??

    Driving home last night, my headlights and engine shut off at the same time. I coasted to the side of the road (flashers working) turned the ignition to the off position and then turned it over and it fired right up (lights working) like nothing had happened. Drove the rest of the way home...

    Muffler or no muffler??

    Thanks for the input guys. It is a little loud, but as long as Im not missing out on any slight performance gains from having a muffler, i.e. it doesn't affect the engine --then Im good :)

    Injectors bad?? Engine about to go??

    Im still kicking around ideas. I don't have a lot of time to work on the damn thing right now. I was thinking about taking it in to the local International truck dealer to have them do the job but. They told me that they use rebuilt injectors. I didn't ask them if they would just install a set...

    Injectors bad?? Engine about to go??

    Howdy everyone, new to the forum, and have a little issue. I apologize in advance if it seems a little lengthy --its an attempt to help narrow down the possibilities. Here's my trouble: I have an 85 6.9 diesel. A couple of months ago I noticed that a slight clacking or ticking noise had...
