Especially since I'm too far from my house. Wouldn't want to be paying someone else to overhaul the engine when I just got my forklift back home...
We popped the valve cover off to check, nothing there. I would get 40 psi running and I stopped as soon as I could. And instead of crawling over...
The mechanic said this was a first for them.
We got the oil pan off, gear fell off the pump. Nothing else got damaged by it.
Gonna have to get it towed for now, will see what it is
At this point once this is done I'm just pulling the motor out for rebuild. With stuff like this going out earlier than they should, it'd be...
Mechanical gauge said 0 pressure. Leaves out gauge and sensor. Looking at the sump is the next step, but not something I can just do in a...
Its a 60 series detroit, DDEC IV.
Could it be anything else as well? Hopefully its just the water pump if its not the sensor or bad connection.
Yesterday my oil PSI started to go down to 0 at idle. If I manage to get to highway speeds it'll start showing pressure on the gauge. I have a...
As it turns out the crankshaft gear also needed to be replaced, aside from the two gears everything else looks good. Oil PSI is back up to where...
Already did the last part. Some things I'm willing to do on the driveway, some stuff I'd rather do in the garage once its finished. Mix between...
I know how to do it, just not something I want to do out in the open on the driveway. If the shop the company is renting still had the tools and...
Ended up being this after all, saw it once I pulled the air compressor off. Was hoping it wasn't this since I'm not able to do this solo with my...
oil nozzles are there, all the cylinders look normal from undernearth too. Doesn't look like gear teeth either.
I took some new thrust washers and bearings and none of the metal pieces seem to match up to them.
I have the pan pulled, and have some of the bearings and thrust washers on hand and the pieces don't seem to match up to them. I'm not sure if it...
Before I go taking other parts off, what are the odds this could be from the oil pump, air compressor, or power steering pump? I just replaced...
Right now I'm waiting on some bearings and thrust washers for later, but if these are from there might put them on now. What throws me off is the...
Its just over 400k on an inframe. I want to believe it was pieces that were stuck somewhere out of sight but there's too many pieces to think that.
