221k myself. If hadn't moved closer to work, or running OTR in the big truck, I'd be around 250-260k by now.

kilometers 400 today

Well today sometime I will read 400,000 km's while off to work. Too bad I haven't enjoyed any of it!!! Over 50,000 km's to get this truck fixed from the factory problems.

If I were you I'd buy a SMARTY and use it as your diagnostic tool to find out what is wrong... . 175HP with injectors is reaaaally low.



BTW, RV275's and 300's are the same injectors.

401??? km's late Monday night

I need to know where an electrical arc is coming from? That is what is ruining the horsepower for the truck since new.

 

[RDHamill]

electrical arc !

I'm interested in hearing the details on that.

Is everything grounded properly?

Yes some years ago I had access to a $8000. 0 plus dollar (osocilloscope). So I could look at the signals to the vp and at the PDC they proved to be very interesting and I know throught my electrical knowledge that that isnt' what they should look like. #@$%! I copied they and have them at camp right now so can't send/ fax them to you but can when I get home at Christmas time. No the grounds are all good but the signals are bad this is what is causing the lack of fueling to the engine and it to buck at 1100 to 1275 rpm. The one that looked really bad was the 1 volt peak to peak for the fuel shut off. I am on my 3 rd set of batteries,replaced the alternator as well because the diesel tech at northland said it should be replaced because of low charging I think it was, and the output from the alternator was a good 3 phase rectified out put and the capacitor was 15 microparads. I changed the ECM some years ago tring to fix it but that was just a waste of money like the rest of the truck. I think it is the PCM but can't couldn't continue to throught money at the problem on parts changing mentality my bank account isn't big enough for that. The signals where ever it was it looked like a crankshaft but was made of coil of inductors, another one had a beautiful arrow at the end corner of it. I made quiet a few drawings of the signals that I had hoped someone could / would diagnose the problems of the truck but had NO luck in finding. :{ PM me if you are interested with a fax number and I will get back to you when I can. Thanks
