Hey guys,
My part time boss has has an International S1600 with the old 6.9 IDI and a 4 spd manual in it. This past saturday into sunday, we got 14.5" of snow, so I was using that truck to plow all day and night. And all day and night she ran great. Coming home Sunday morning she was still running great.
Minus well just list all the problems while I remember. The engine is ABUSED by the other employee's. Non of the glow plugs work, it requires ether on a cold start(yeah yeah I know I keep telling him:mad2, it has ALOT of blowby / burns oil and damn near impossible to start on a cold day.
Monday morning I got up to get it out of my driveway and get it back to the yard. Nothing. The GCFI popped overnight and shut the block heater off:mad2:. Plugged it back in and came out 4 hours later. Tried to fire it. Still nothing(yes I used ether:mad2:, you have too:mad2::mad2 Plugged the batteries in to charge + my trucks battery to boost it(900cca's). Came back 2 hours later. Still nothing. Aimed the torpedo heater(jet engine looking thing that burns diesel to make heat) into the engine bay and left it for another 2 hours. Engine bay was hot enough to take jackets off and take a nap in:rolleyes5:. Another shot of ether and... nothing! Filled it with oil as I couldn't pick any up on the dipstick
Heres what I've diagnosed so far.
-Clutch is disengaging per service port under truck.
-Fuel tank is half full
-Fuel present at fuel/water separator
-Fuel has pressure after mechanical lift pump on engine
-Fuel present and pressurized after fuel filter.
-Fuel present at high pressure injector lines.
-Starter in engaging flywheel and turning motor.
-no blockage in intake.
Something I noticed. When any other diesel has trouble starting it pours white smoke out the exhaust pipe. There is not one ounce of smoke coming out of those pipes... I have a feeling the lack of oil killed the rings, but I'm trying to see if I'm missing something else along the way. What do you guys think?
