Hey guys, just an update, going down to Detroit next weekend with my mom, she volunteered to give me a ride to go pickup my Stage 1 kit (
http://store.dynamicdiesel60.com/mobile/64-power-stroke-2008-2010-stage-1-master-over-haul-kit) from Dynamic Diesel, should be a fun 12 hour round trip!
I got a set hopefully of 8 used injectors that were tested.. hopefully they are actually good.. and a spare HPFP that he has.. not tested but says that the fuel system was unrelated to the engine being blown, so he figures it's fine since it was not a problem to begin with. Said the truck just didn't have heat.. lol very vague but whatever didn't want to dig into it.
Shouldn't need anymore parts...
Other than an oil cooler now lol...
unless someone else has ideas?
I really really want to budget for some manifolds and up pipes but its not "needed" and I really can't afford that on-top. But eventually for sure! on
I have a question for you guys.. and on Sea-foam and Diesel Kleen, I was watching some youtube videos on Seafoam and how the guy emptied his fuel bowl, changed the filter and filled it with pure Sea-foam. And added about 20oz to his tank... It was on a 6.0 so idk if the ULSD aspect is good for our engines.. but I'm not asking because I want to use it.. I'm asking because I just researched the ! Out of it on the forums so I wouldn't have to ask the 873683 time if it's good to run it or not. I chose no.
But one forum.. the guy that had a 7.3.. i know completely different.. but he said he used it.. and that crap got pushed to the injectors.. and it now runs rough and he wanted to use even more to clear it up!...
And the guy beneath his post said he uses Diesel Kleen... and it got me thinking..
I bought this truck 5 hours away from home.. on a super hot day.. already in reduced engine power mode.. I did NOT know it was in limp mode he never told me, and chances are if I knew it.. I wouldn't be talking to you guys right now because I would of said forget it...yes it had a p0088 code, but that was NOT the only code present it also had p2452, p244A and p2002...
I cleared the codes, and limp mode gone.. drove around the block seemed fine.. drove it 5 hours home.. nonstop, doing about 100 KMH.. not a problem... not a surge no nothing... my mom did notice however that it had some black smoke occasionally, (she was driving behind me) and she said the closer we got home the more frequent she thought it was being produced...
now he said that the truck was stock... it came with stacks.. and an exhaust system with *** cat, but not stock end piping it didn't have the duals.. which i kind of was upset.. i love that look ANYWAYS.. he said it came from Alberta. He bought it with the stacks and got caught down where he lives and had to put that USED exhaust system on with ***..
He said it clogged. Because it went into reduced power mode He went to a Midas.....generic mechanic shop... like a Jiffy Lube.. or whatever you guys have down there. And they said it was clogged too and punched it out and sent him on his way... i don't think there was a tune on it.. and they just threw a system on it without knowing it had to be returned to stock.. I say i don't think so because it didnt have much power.. and it DID say "Cleaning" on the message board sometimes when I did get home driving around town that night so i figured it was stock because the truck was saying its in cleaning mode.... so Long story short... i hope i didnt lose you...
There was not a single problem driving it 5 hours home... and the day after I put some diesel kleen in it, the truck died...
Do you guys think that diesel kleen could of done it? Hanging my injectors? It wasn't 7-8... so regen is out of the question and those pistons looked fine
Minus the #8 that had little pricks on it ill post a pic again... but for 1 and 2 to be bad.. maybe i put too much? And it pushed some dirt to the injectors and they got clogged?
I drove it home.. fine
Drove it around town was fine the next couple nights..
The day I bought diesel kleen, was the same day I dropped it off for the Safety/Mechanical..
the night I picked it up. Boom.. reduced engine power mode.. i was so scared.. I thought i fixed it
I drove 500km non stop and nothing happened and two days after with no problems no warning signs NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT...
The day I pick it up after using seafoam I noticed a blue haze from the exhaust, it has a longer than normal crank.. ive noticed 6.4's crank fast.. like turn key bomb.. engine on. This is as if it cranked double the time.. which yes worried me.... and I also read long crank times are from bad injectors...
What if that Diesel Kleen just gummed up an injector for a second.. and fried my pistons..
What if mine aren't bad? What if I put them back in.. ran it for like 5 minutes WITH a scanner on it to watch to make sure nothing gets damaged and maybe they just needed to be free'd up? Cause the diesel kleen pushed junk through it? Why else would it randomly go into reduced power mode again.. after no problems.. and I asked the mechanic he said he never noticed and said he didn't drive it..
Is this possible? I want to know if someone can read those power balance tests graphs because I want to know what they mean!!! I know for sure 1 and 2 are bad.. but why did the rest sky rocket is that compensating? If I only need two.. can I try just changing two? Don't get mad.. I'm asking.. i'm just curious!?!!!?! Why the hell did this happen! My engines gunna be built and someone goes to ask what happened.. I won't have an answer!
My turbos I think are fine. Not going to rebuild them, theres no oil, no shaft play. Slap em on. So I rulled out the hydrolock with oil.. but something held it back that night it died from starting.. slow crank.. like that video I said of the 6.4 that did the burnout till it died and hesitated to crank.. exactly like that.. the starters fine batteries fine.. so I really think it was just fuel... but I want to know if it was my hpfp that blew.. (I don't think, because no noticeable shards in my fuel bowl, it still started after that night we just had to let it sit.. maybe so the fuel washed down the cylinders and let it turn over.. but it still started on command when needed.. if a hpfp is bad it will still start? Over and over? And stay running?
I think either my injectors got dirty with that diesel kleen
Or they actually just are faulty
But why all of a sudden after the diesel kleen.. and not a problem.. after the truck sat in the dudes driveway for a month. I clear limp mode and drive it 5 hours home hot day no problem...... IN 4x4 cause i didn't knkw it was stuck on.. lol wouldnt go past 100 km i knew something was wrong but just didnt know what and honestly didnt feel like it was in 4x4 sharp turns didnt feel any crab walking or nothing I found out when my mechanic told me at cert lol.. so i had that much strain on it and it was fine...
What gives?
Sorry to pick your brain Im just getting close to the peak of this and need answers...
If anyone.... can read those charts and tell me... if there all bad
If 3 hung open or if just 2 were bad... or whatever it says!!
And if I maybe on to something...
Thank you.
And hope to hear from someone lol
#8 see the pricks.. not melted. But I don't think regen was the cause of this.. 1-2 were way worse.
