from the sound of it ya'll have had this cat working with you a few times




I have no idea where I'm going with this, but any chance this thing have an EGR on it???

 

N14 is to old for egr system, I'll ask some of the guys at work on thursday and see what what I'm missing.

 

I couldnt remember exactly when EGR's were put onto the engines. . .I guess that started up with Cummins changed the designations from N14 to ISX and so on.

 

well... so the problem has been solved. today ya will learn somthing. the j-brake would get stuck..but y in only 8th,9thand 10th gears beats me but i would get stuck. its wierd but thats what had gone wrong.

 

realy?!?!?!?!

now thats weird, guess it could happen though

 

Lucky the valves didn't become friends with the pistons then!!!

 

HA HA HA. . .I bet they became close companions though

 

Reminds me of that 8.3 cummins that the overhead came in a cardboard box on the passenger seat of the truck. #3 cam bearing welded itself to the cam, stopped the cam shearing the cam gear keyway. The cam gear then weled itself to the cam, broke the cam bearing loose of the block and the engine proceeded to run with the cam 70 degrees out.

 

did it run a little rough????

 

Didn't run at all, came in on a hook. Sorta like the truck that came in about 3 months ago on a hook. Said it had an engine miss, I lifted the hood up to find #2 rod laying on the frame rail, Well there's your problem!!!
