Where is everyone #5

Yep. High pressure common rail. You're not even supposed to reuse the injection lines because they (supposedly) deform to match the quill tube. Once you take it apart it'll never mate up as tight.

The worst thing about getting injected with fuel/oil is they literally have to cut your tissues apart and vacuum out all the oil. You're left with a bunch of ugly, zig-zag scars all around the affected area. Its considered life threating.

 

Yes they do. Even an Isuzu or Kubota.

 

Thanks! Always rocking a @sawmill hat when the moment is worthwhile!

There is an interview to follow this week.

Many of you guys would be ripe for a good interview if you get up around Chicago area. They’re looking for stories for the channel.

 

You're at the Better Truck Stop. What I win?

 

Kudos - you’re a good fella.

Yup, I got roped into my good deed for the day too.

Now I’m a qualified van scuff board repair agent. Sigh.

 

And theres dummies that think it's a good idea to take out the relief valve so they dont have fuel pressure drop. All fun and games till you get a pressure spike and blow the rail apart and now you've just covered the engine bay with diesel after getting it nice and hot from hot rodding ya truck

 

Crap !! I came through there at about 4:30 !

 

Well, ended up having to get a ride to Peterbilt in Lake Station. Nobody else had the right fitting.

$35 for this little focker...



So $67 and 5 hrs spent on what used to be a $2, 1/2 hr repair.

Welcome to the modern age.

 

I reckon I'll make Fairview kansas tonight.

 

Don't let that get out ! Contrary to what other people say !!
