Need help please!!

So this might be a silly question, but I'm hoping you could identify these components for me, I work as a light duty mechanic but find myself working more and more on these diesel engines and and pretty wet behind the ears, if you or anyone here knows what these are and could educate me I'd GREATLY appreciate it. Need to replace these asap, as you can see the cables attached to these has been severed. There's what I assume to be a vacuum line at one end of these and a cable that actuates on the other end.

Might help if you identified MMYEng info.

My SWAG, cruise control module. Did you read SWAG?

Absolutley right, very sorry first time posting on any forum, it is a 2000 isuzu NPR-HD with the 4.7 turbo diesel.

Yeah this can post will go nowhere but downhill......

Off topic.....but on point with mystery items...
I helped a guy last night at our shop as I was last one to leave he had his hood up in the back was a driver from GA, only 900miles from home and quite the mess on the ground with coolant, uses some sort of white coolant, was a Freightliner with Cummins ISB'13 240/2300, the heater core sprung a leak from what I could make out what he was telling me, nice guy just small communication problem but we worked thru that. Either way he had a screwdriver in the 3/4" heater hose, had no hose clamp, was intresting for sure as I had no hose clamps in the shop we do electrical work those are frowned apon with electrical connections.

On one of my trips back from looking for stuff he actually came up with putting some sort of socket reducer in the hose with the one clamp, then we used some linerless rubber and zip ties to block off the heater core. It dripped a bit but was functional for a quick ride to where he could get a new hose and something proper to shove in the line.

We wound up putting a few gallons of water in it then he added maybe a quart of 15w-40 to the coolant for the water pump, it was common practice as he said at one point he had to stop every 100miles to add water and a little oil, so yeah I'm not buying a used box truck anytime soon.... add what ever the above pic is of as well, to the do not buy list...

I gave the driver a few cold bottles of water and an Ice Tea for the road from our work fridge, and he was down the road, for a few miles anyway.

But back to the OP, its unhooked for a reason, why bother if you dont know what they do? Put a vacuum pump on them do they even work? Remind me also of a cruise control system.

Ok, so none of that helped, like I said and if you looked the cables have been SEVERED and the two valves have the cables hardwired in, brakes are failing, and would just like someone that knows what they are talking about to help out and give me a bit of info on what the component outlined is known as or called. And letting some guy put oil in his coolant shows your just a penis.

 

[Mech48]

And there's nothing for sale here either, just a mechanic for 12 years on gas engines, and trying to pick up the few diesels we have picked up now

 

[Mech48]

Also engine is a
2.2L 4cyl LN2 MFI

Not sure if this is what you are asking for but if it isnt please let me know.

Cool bud appreciate the help! Anyone else that is willing to help a bit more?

If it is indeed a 2000 ISUZU NPR-HD, I have the book, you are welcome to download it........its going to take a bit its like 100Meg file...give it a bit to upload it will be in there eventually for download. I set the link it to expire next Wed.

My point was these trucks can be a basket case at all times, hence my story about last night, the drivers will do what it takes to get home or deliver the load on time to get paid. It sounds like you have one of these trucks.

I have no control over what a person puts in their coolant, he spoke little english was doing it himself when I returned with some cold water for him to drink, he was pretty beat after trying to fix this rig on his own, I had no clue what he was doing, but understood fully why he did it and it actually made sense to do that, hack yes but he knew enough to do something to protect his rig not mine... so name call away it was and is always expected by first day folks who come and go with one post, and get bent when no one answers their question about brakes when its never mentioned you had a brake issue.

If you check the vacuum diaphragm with a small hand held vacuum pump you can see if they are blown out, other wise all you did was create 2 giant additional vacuum leaks by putting those new lines on bad units. So that would hurt you in this case. But do what you will. Otherwise you should unhook those blown out devices and bypass them which is most likely what someone did already a long time ago.

The vacuum side and cable side are separate and need to be treated as so reguardless of the cable situation, it could be hooked up and still mess up your vacuum system.

The cables could have easily been cut by someone who needed to disable the actuators to again get on the road. Unless you know what sheared them and forgot to add that info.

The older Dodge 5.9L Cummins has a similar Vacuum Actuator that is cable actuated and conneted to the injection pump, so I don't think the first suggestion was that bad at all. He asked if you understood SWAG? He was being nice by posting.

My point about the post going downhill quickly was there as again no info posted on the Make Model Year Engine Type, then you said it was a 4.6L, then it changed to a 2.2L which maybe turned into a gasser at some point who knows, we have no clue what anyone is posting about so more accurate info you can provide up front the better folks can help you.

Also stick around long enough you will find we almost alwasy recommend a FSM, factory service manual. If you have a few of these in your fleet you should get the shop owner to purchase some technical infomation for you.

File is finally uploaded to that link...... I say you created 2 giant vacuum leak but they are pretty small hoses so thats an exaggeration.... it does not help is my point if they are indeed dry rotted and shot inside.

I realize the name of the website is Turbo Diesel Register, but the site is pretty much specific to Cummins powered Dodge/Ram turbo diesels. While there are a few fellows that work on other trucks and other engines, most here only know about our Cummins engines and systems.

I did a Google search for “Isuzu NPR forum” and came up with several dedicated forums. Not trying to run you off, but you might find more help there.

After a lifetime of dealing with truck drivers......some will not listen...add the language barrier to the mix and you are simply wasting perfectly good oxygen...

Hence the puddle of white coolant, he's been doing it right along..

But regardless, tone it down a bit. No need of that...this is one of the most knowledgeable forums on the planet but we don't do attitude...
