    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Number 3 Injector Line

    No, at some point in time there has been water or moisture in that injector. It is so messed up that no matter how much it is cleaned up it will not seal. When we changed that injector the other day, it had frozen or seized---it took a breaker bar and additional strength along with PB Breaker...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Number 3 Injector Line

    Thank you Mike. and thank you for the drawing. I am in error, it is the injector supply line item 18 which is the third cylinder back from the fan rather than the third in the firing order. Would you also be able to give me the part number for that injector line also? I really...

    I am not familiar with the product SeaFoam, can one of you guys give me a source to purchase the product? I am having basically the same problem as SRay, and where the EGTs were right around 900 to 1000, they have risen to 1150 to 1200 on a 26 mile 6% grade. I am getting roughly 12mpg...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Loose Spring--Where does it attach--accelerator rod

    At the end of the accelerator rod, next to the injection pump is a pull spring. When I had to replace a broken accelerator rod, this spring was "hanging" loose. I cannot find any place that looks like it should be attached to. These two photos show where the spring is located on the...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Sudden high EGR Temps

    Sudden high EGR--forgot the geography Thanks Harvey. I knew that, but forgot. That area "LOOKS" so level that you do not think that you are climbing. Turned South at Oakley toward Scott City, and it ran like it should until we got closer to Lake Scott and the hills and valleys were taller...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) EGR by pass Question

    In the past there was a member who reported using Radio Shack resistors to keep the check engine light from coming on when the EGR valve was removed. He had also included a diagram. Does any member remember who the person was or where his article is located. I am apparently not using...
