    Truck Died while warming up

    26F. I had 15w40 rotella in it. it was all the way warmed up, that means that it was running for at least 15 minutes. I don't think that a motor can run that long without oil pressure. It had to have snapped it some time after it was kinda warm.

    Truck Died while warming up

    I was letting my truck warm up this morning. When I went out to get in it, it was shut off. I started it back up and it makes bad noises. No oil pressure. I checked the oil and it was full, just changed it 300 miles ago with rotella. Is this a common problem? It always made good oil pressure, 25...

    900 mile trip on WMO

    Good point about the back roads. See the problem is that I'm concerned about high egt's, I've heard that on 100%, egt's are alot higher. I'd hate to get to the top of Jelico with a burnt down truck, you know?

    900 mile trip on WMO

    This weekend I'm going down to Tenn. to get a 5th wheel and bring it back home. I plan to do this all on WMO. It's a 35ft, 10k pound trailer. Pulling the mountians on 75 makes me nervious with that much weight and no turbo,:eek: so I was thinking about bypassing the interstate with state routes...

    USED OILS AS FUELS

    Sorry, joined the thread late. I've been running 100% for 6 months and thousands of miles, but this morning something strange happened. I ran my oil tank pretty low (not out of fuel) and put about 2 gallons of new oil in the tank. On my way to work I switched to the rear tank. The truck fell...

    WMO: Can Old Motor Oil Lose Volitility Like Old Gas?

    HIghest WMO/Diesel Ratio on a stock 6.9l IDI?

    Thats what I do, for the last 4K. I pulled all of the injectors about 2 weeks ago and all the holes were clean. Just a little ash on the tips....

    Prechamber coaking due to WMO

    I just thought about something. I bought the truck from my grandpa who used it to tour the country with a 5th wheel. When he was out west, he had running issues and took it to a shop. The shop turned the pump down for the elevation he was at. I've always attributed its high fuel mileage to this...

    Prechamber coaking due to WMO

    no, I don't heat it. Just start on regular diesel, and shut down on it.

    Prechamber coaking due to WMO

    Ok, got some pictures of 3 of my injectors. I've been running 100% WMO for the past 2 months and 2500 miles. The past tank ran through it was about 80% trans fluid though. If the injectors are this clean, does that indicate that the cylinder/valve seat will also be the same? Oh yea, these are...

    Prechamber coaking due to WMO

    Has anybody thought about what the carbon is doing to the valves? I've seen gassers that burned oil pretty bad have valve issues at work. Has anyone ever experienced this with a diesel? I would think that the valve springs on our trucks is higher than a gasser, will it compensate?

    Prechamber coaking due to WMO

    I thought that I might have some blow-by as well, but I only use about a quart of oil every 3K. We'll see about the injectors in the morning...

    Prechamber coaking due to WMO

    Holy Crap! Scary stuff. I'll pull a couple of injectors at work in the morning and let you guys know what I find. I've been running 100% for the last 2K and after reading this thread, it makes me concerned because I'm seeing more smoke than normal.

    100% WMO?

    I'd love to see what the plugs look like, I've been concerned about mine.

    Water separator

    Is it because it will rust it? Water has the same compressablity as diesel fuel, none. How does it hurt the pump? Good call on the filter towcat, does that filter have a way to drain the water out?

    Water separator

    I was working on my truck today and noticed that the water seperator was bypassed. I've heard that they can leak air into the system, maybe thats why the previous owner did it. My question is, why would a little water in the fuel hurt a diesel? There is no seperator on a gas car, they just burn...

    100% WMO?

    So does that mean that I might have some valve issues down the road?

    100% WMO?

    thats a good point about the switching tanks. Mine got kinda hard to start until I ran my "diesel" tank out and filled it back up. That also made me think about what the WMO is doing to the glow plugs. Do you think that the extra carbon in the fuel might be building up on the plugs? Would that...
