I am takin my 93 ctd to the stealer friday. I have an appointment with the diesel mechanic with hands on trouble shooting. yes, I get to sneak to the service bay and ask questions as the mechanic diagnoses the ctd troubles.

its losin power ever so steadily. not sure if its injectors ($)or fuel injector pump ($$).


almost got stuck in the middle of an intersection durin a left turn. semis in every direction [:@]

the exhaust manifold is turning white also. mostly between cyl 2 - cyl 5. well, ok 4 out of 6 []

gonna have em adjust the external band on the trans too




wish me luck!

 

Which dealership are you going to?

 

WHOA Baja did this just start happening?

Anyone here have any ideas as to what's going on ??

 

whichdealership is not important here....


MAYFAIR

it has slowly progressed from a number of months ago when I was using power service and mmo. cleaned the engine out for sure. changed the fuel and oil filters, and its slowly goin down hill. had the trans adjusted a couple months ago. the trans guy f'd up on that so it shifts worse than before.that makes iteat fuel like mad [:@]
have a good friend at Dodge whom I am gonna owe greatly after we fix this thing... guessin he gets his new light upgrade in his house labor free!
everytime I make an appointment, something $$ comes up and i am broke just 48hrs prior to goin down there..this happens again, ill just take the account to the red!

have'ta get it fixed!!!!

 

Where the hell is Demon when you need him ?? [:@]

I don't think there's anything he doesn't know about when it comes to 1st gens

 

its SUMMER time ! that equals PLAY time for most if they have kids or plenty of vacation to take!!

yea the diesel mech i bought the truck from gives me the run around when I ask. they kinda smile and blow smoke my way. not straight with me, Ill go somewhere else.

 

Shoot Demon a PM. He's VERY knowledgable with this kinda stuff and I'm SURE he can help you diagnose what's going on!!

 

pm'd ya both.

thx!

 

trucks goin in today! wish me luck!!


I have to find out why it was puffin smoke at a stop light last night. seemed to do it when the idle became very rough...feels like a race car with a huge cam ......
