there is no chip remember it is a 96 he did something with the pump I think, and it is intercooled already . I know what ever I do I do not want to blow out head gaskets or stretch head bolts. So maybe a boost gauge so I can see what the turbo is doing. Thanks
Bob, Let me get into your brain power on another issue . I took my 1996 12 valve cummins dodge to the local diesel mech. I had changed out all the air and fuel filters but the truck had a problem with a loss of power , the truck would start very easy and would run very smooth at all rpms. But with a load lets say 4 ton rolling weight it was sluggish . To go up a 7% grade I had to keep it in third gear running a 2700 rpm if I took fourth gear it would just fall on it’s ass. So the mech. I guess could not find anything so he put a variable fuel rail two setting I believe a 30 hp and a 70 hp setting . It seems to pull much better now. Since we are now putting in more fuel do I need to look at the turbo for more air. I have no boost gauge now. I guess it is low mileage for the age with 235,000.
well wish me luck I plan on going mon. to Chattanooga to the bobcat dealer, I will let you know what I find out.
parking brake? that is not just putting the bucket on the ground your so hi tech. hahahaha.. about the oil I saw some references to using 10w30 in the chain drives . But I am getting it back together and taking it to the dealer so maybe we can figure out what model it is, so then I will have something more to go by than just a guess. but thanks for your info. I like good knowledge to fall back on. I would like it to use aw46 that is what I use in the jcb backhoe.
well got the engine back in . does anyone know about what types of oil go the two side gear, chain drives and what would be ok in the hydros? I think I am going to have to take it to bobcat to figure out what model it is. But on a chance anyone might have dealt with and has knowledge of around 1984 gas model I thought I would ask around.
I would go with documented chart of metric bolt hardness to torque values. I can not believe you could go wrong with that. now watch me be wrong.
that is what I did first it made them squirt off , the champions porcelain is slightly tapered . The autolites are not so changing the plugs and limiting the pressure on the rubber I guess helped If I remember right the original plug boots , or caps were hard like bakeolite .
Thanks but I ended up heating the boots I had with a heat gun and jamming the plug in it and letting it cool , there is that fine edge heating and burning rubber , got lucky hopefully they will not get hard and brittle soon.
no I overlooked them, yeah to me it looks like bearings and a crank possibly. The scoring I can see by a dry start but the pitting makes me think corrosion. So maybe oil with a lot of water and ran and maybe let sit awhile before something was done with it. just a guess.
