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...- dozer

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...- dozer

Water/**** 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...- dozer

Water/**** 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...- dozer

Water/**** 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...- dozer

Water/**** 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...- dozer

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...- dozer
