    Any info on the 6-71 Detroit?

    Thanks a bunch for the information. I'm starting to think that I'm going to pass on the truck now. For some reason, the owner hasn't been answering his phone when I called him several times this weekend and he never sent me the pictures that he said he took on Friday. What irks me is that when I...

    Any info on the 6-71 Detroit?

    Thank you, first I have to get the thing and in order to do that, he needs to send me some more pics and answer his phone so I can make a decision. For some reason he hasn't answered since yesterday.

    Any info on the 6-71 Detroit?

    I'm looking at a toterhome that a guy has for sale. The chassis is a 72 with an 86 cab on it. He told me that the engine is a naturally aspirated 6-71 six cylinder Detroit diesel. From my research so far, the 6-71 is a two stroke engine and likes to make its power with high rpm's. Because...

    03 6.0 cranks but won't fire at all, please help

    My thoughts exactly, I only took it back because I thought they would work with me some because they missed a lot of stuff. They worked with me a little but this shop is never getting a recommendation or any more business from me..... ever-Lame. This place was even recommended to me by our shop...

    03 6.0 cranks but won't fire at all, please help

    This shop sucks, they checked it over and found that the glow plug controller's wiring plugin was messed up, they repaired it then supposedly test drove it and cleared it to be picked up. I let it warm up and went to a store across town, when I came back out to fire it up it took 2-3 tries with...

    03 6.0 cranks but won't fire at all, please help

    ;Pissed The truck won't start worth a damn in the mornings yesterday and today and it hasn't even been cold enough to use the block heater. It blew out white smoke while cranking and shot out a mixture of black and white at first when it finally fired. Also, after it was warmed up and driving...

    03 6.0 cranks but won't fire at all, please help

    Truck's back from the shop. Needed an IPR and a fuel pump. They also did a couple of recalls that were needed. So far it runs much better and seemed to get better mpg on the way home.

    03 6.0 cranks but won't fire at all, please help

    Wix, I believe. I just found out what the damage is. It needs a new IPR and fuel pump. It's at a shop now getting repaired. I'm not looking foreward to seeing the bill if it's anything close to the estimate.:( Oh well. I dug my grave, now I'll sleep in it.

    03 6.0 cranks but won't fire at all, please help

    From what I looked at, the last code there doesn't really mean anything. I spoke to a ford tech at a shop out of town that I'm thinking of taking the truck to and he said that it's possible that when I changed the oil, a part of the old filter or a defective part on the new filter broke or...

    I didn't get much from the searching of those codes, I cleared them and tried again to see what came back and got this. Ugh, back to Google.:smash:

    I just borrowed the scanner from work and got these codes, I'll post them here for now and search them out when I get back from getting my other truck scanned.

    03 6.0 cranks but won't fire at all, please help

    Thank you for the replies. When I added the 911 stuff, I poured it in and then added 5 gallons of new diesel on top of it to mix it up. I just replaced both of the fuel filters, they were in horrible condition. I let the engine run completely through its cycles several (4-5) times before...

    03 6.0 cranks but won't fire at all, please help

    I bought an 03 F-250 with a 6.0 in November, it's the first diesel that I've owned. It's been going great so far but today my brother borrowed it for a few minutes and after it sat for 10 minutes or so, I went to fire it up and it would crank but it wouldn't even attempt to fire, no smoke out of...

    What should I check on this 2500?

    I was finally able to contact the previous owner of the truck. Here's what he had to say. It was one of a 7 truck fleet that was maintained by his mechanic. It started giving him fits and not wanting to start very well on cold mornings (like it was doing with me) during the last few months...

    What should I check on this 2500?

    I'm not sure, it fired right up every time after it warmed up.

    What should I check on this 2500?

    Oh, well then do you think that the heater coil may be going bad or is that just normal behavior for the cummins?:confused: Also, it was kind of chilly that morning if that matters at all. Sorry, I probably should mention that I'm fairly new to diesels but I'm learning as much as I can as...

    What should I check on this 2500?

    The last of them. It seems to be pretty greasy as you can tell. I found out in my inspection that the wheel bearings and balljoints seem to be solid, the front drive shaft needs replaced or rebuilt (I think we have one in the junkyard), one of the front suspension links needs to be...

    What should I check on this 2500?

    More. Is that a crank case vent tube hanging down there? Are these the factory lift blocks? They look a little tall to me. This one's jacked up as you can see. Either the center pin has been sheared off or somebody pulled the Ubolts and didn't line it up right.

    What should I check on this 2500?

    Thanks for the replies. As promised, here's a LOT of pictures that I took while I was inspecting it the other day. Outside: Under the hood: Underneath:

    What should I check on this 2500?

    I've been looking for a tow rig and I found a 94 Dodge 2500 4x4 with a 12V Cummins and a 5 speed manual tranny. They're asking $1,250 for it. Here's what's up with it though. It has 228,947 miles and some of the more recent miles were as a farm truck, so it's been "broken in":Q . It's missing...

    How's this deal sound?

    I'm planning on it. I've got a friend who wants to pay half for it so he can use it as a DD, then I can use it when I need to tow something. Seems like what I have to look out for is the cooling, exhaust, and electronic injection pump from what I've been reading.

    How's this deal sound?

    I'm looking for a tow rig for my Jeep and I've just run across a 94 Chevy 3500 SRW single cab 4x4 with a 6.5 turbodiesel and a 5 speed with about 135,000 miles on it. The owner wants $700 for it. He said that the PO ran into some problems with the heads and pulled them, so the seller replaced...

    Towing with an 89 F-150?

    Thanks for your replies, I've decided that I'm going to do the required mods to make it a decent tow rig and use it untill I find a good truck that can haul 2, maybe even 3 rigs over longer distances. Preferrably diesel with a manual overdrive tranny. My list of mods include: Tranny cooler...
