    HELP: Mack Midliner 8.8L, to pull Injector, must I drain Coolant first?

    Has anyone here done any fuel-system work on the 8.8L Renault/RVI engine in the Mack Midliner? I have a misfiring cylinder (ID'd via cracking lines loose one by one), and I want to pull the injector and see what's up....and I'm wondering whether this engine requires the coolant to be drained...

    DMF needed; Towcat? Anyone else?

    whatever.... price isn't germane to the question. I asked about bearing play and visual checks. seemed like reasonable questions to me. thanks for the info on the springs/retainers

    picky ?? :backoff dude, at ANY price, why in hell would I want to put a BAD flywheel in ?? I already HAVE a bad one in there! :rotflmao and for my case, it ain't a clean and simple job to swap it here at the mine. I've got to lay in the rocks and mud all freakin' day to do the...

    DMF needed; Towcat? Anyone else?

    Brady kindly shipped me the DMF 'on inspection', and I have a couple questions for you DMF experts... 1) the rotational free-play feels like it's hitting something hard at the end of the travel....it doesn't feel like it's bumping against springs. Is that simply because the springs are so...

    Water/Meth injection

    yah, I know that a lot of the injectors on gassers will seize if you try to run water through them. But with an emulsion, there is an intimate mix of water and fuel, with about 70% fuel....so there is still lubrication. I would imagine that different pumps/injectors have different levels of...

    Water/Meth injection

    you guys.... :rofl 'course, it's just a sad reflection of how the constant propaganda-media drumbeat has everyone scared of everything all the time. Makes 'em cry out for 'security'....the powers-that-be love that... Mark, all of the "shur-flo" type pumps I've seen are "positive...

    Water/Meth injection

    Of course, water in the cylinder can interfere with piston lubrication; depending on the engine and conditions......and humid air by itself promotes more complete combustion, due to the OH free-radicals acting as catalysts. So there's something to be said for the mist/fully-evaporated setups...

    Water/Meth injection

    Mark, fyi, the normal 'demand' pump cycles on and off to meet a -pressure- specification, not a flow spec. Nozzles: the "flow" rating for a nozzle or injector is always spec'ed at a specific pressure. I.e. 1 gph AT 50psi, or whatever. The flow from a nozzle will increase as the square...

    Vibration at 60-65mph; also U-joint oddity...ideas??

    Dalvaras, mine were the perfect diameter....just that the cross was about .040 too wide. It -would- go in, but then the U-joint was very tight, wouldn't turn on that axis. Rancherman, thanks for the thought. I hadn't thought about rims....I guess because the vibe seems to be at the higher...

    hey Ron, thanks for the word. So the LUK kit you got was for the stock DMF ? And the disc -was- the spring-loaded one? And the PP was the one with approx 20 little fingers? cool.... The regular Sachs kit is 160-170, so I wouldn't mind springing another 20 for the LUK... Richard

    well, I was thinkin' maybe an arm and a leg....but then I remembered that I'd be sending those to you anyway.... :D I'll send ya another email Brady.... Anyone know if LUK makes a kit that will work with the stock DMF ? It'd be great to be able to use that nice multi-finger PP of theirs...

    thanks a lot Towcat. I'm tryin' to get a flywheel here... :D Brady, did you have IP issues or much rough-running in that 20K miles? thanks, Richard ps; In most email programs, the "reply to" address is entered just once, in the Setup window. So you might want to check Setup...

    hey Brady, just replied to your email. by the way, the "reply to" address on your emails is missing the "y" in Brady, so anyone replying is having their mail bounced back...fyi... Richard

    hey Brady, appreciate you mentioning it. Was it working fine when you pulled it? I.e., no noises? No problems with clutch or shifting? If so, I'd be real interested. Please direct-email me or call me. Richard metal at fullwave dawt kom or 541-944-9746

    Water/Meth injection

    the big firms like Volvo that have done it on real-world trucks have injected the water directly into the cylinder, like the fuel. In fact, in some cases, -with- the fuel. I.e., they injected a mixed water/fuel emulsion. This has produced the best MPG/HP gains and EGT reduction. Those...

    Water/Meth injection

    yah, a dyno's the only way to really KNOW....and wouldn't it be SO nice to really KNOW... :D You'd be surprised how much -will- evaporate, under the conditions that were posted; i.e. fine mist produced at high pressure (100+ psi), misted into the compressor outlet, which is a 250-degree hot...

    Water/Meth injection

    TEN gallons per hour ?? cookoo cookoo cookoo No wonder you ate your motor! :rotflmao That is way way off. Run the numbers.... (DT466 example) Your cruising 60mph....and, say, 10 mpg. That is only SIX gallons of fuel per hour. And the water should only be 30% of the total...
