Any other diesel shops down south anyone recommends???
The one I used couldn't figure this damn thing out
.
Tow it to [MENTION=7923]CTC DEEZUL[/MENTION] farm. He will get that sucker fired.
.
Trust me, I've been begging.
How the frick a damn old diesel is so complicated is baffling
Driving down the street and just died, nobody can figure out how to get it started
We have an old dozer in the shop that is only started every 5 years and it always fires right up, no squirting needed.

To be honest, they were very young. I bet they don;t deal with the '95 very often??
I recently learned my truck is the 1st turbo 7.3, 92-94 were non turbo, and 1st year models always have weird growing pains
Of course with my luck, it's not a scan and replace a part deal, and so far nobody can figure it out.

Yep, driving and died. Gave it a squirt, ran rough, cleared up and drove about 2 blocks.
Died again, gave it a squirt, ran rough, made it about 2 blocks, died again.
Hasn't started since and I replaced all the parts I'm able to and got tired of pissing into the wind with out the proper scanner & knowledge.
Had 3 guys work on it, none of them can figure it out.
Just dropped it off at EJ Equipment.
One of the guys I race with knows the International mechanic there, so I'm hoping he has a clue!!!
Thanks for the help guys!!

Nope, when I replaced the tanks we threw that nasty ass fuel in the pressure washer.
The tanks, trans, brakes were replaced last summer.
This summer I did the starter, fuel pump, H2O pump, alternator, pulleys, fuel heater, IPR.
This just happened out of the blue.
Driving fine, heading to a job and all this just happened.
Hell I had just made a dozen trips towing my heavy ass mini-stacker moving into my new shop.
I buy fuel 100 gallons at a time and throw in a big bottle of marvels because the new fuel is too dry for my old injectors???
At least that's what I read on several different diesel sites??? So I only use fuel from my storage tank which is filtered.

Picked up the old girl today
Took her for a short drive and headed to supper.
The guy never found anything wrong???
He's actually thinking I fixed it, but got air in the oil system blocking the injectors from firing???
With all his testing and checking stuff, it purged the air and it finally fired???
The more he ran it, the easier it started, and the smoother it ran???
Oh well, here's hoping the old girl is back to normal!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks again for all the help Guys.

No clue, but he did say when he checked the new IPR I installed it had a chunk of something on the plunger???
So he cleaned it and it's been running smoother the more he drove it.
All I know for sure is it cost me $600, and it drove 2 miles
Heading to the cabin tomorrow, and maybe down to Clifton to put some miles on her Saturday??
If it runs good all W/E I'll probably throw the 5th wheel back in Monday, and try towing the trailer around close to the shop just in case??
So hopefully it's good enough for now.
He did say the injectors are a little sloppy when cold.
That's why it smokes so much on start up, they are running too fat???
Of course all of a sudden the A/C is a little warm
As usual, it never ends.

No issues with thin oil and being almost 190,000 miles???
I always use diesel fuel additives because the new fuel is so dry I was warned it wore out injectors if you didn't???
I'll check what I use, it's a gray bottle, hopefully it's something decent.
I also heard Marvels was a good choice???

Thanks, I just googled them and they have a ton of products for us.
I still have 5 bottles of the CRC stuff, but I will definitely try them out if the truck lives that long.
Like I said, all of a sudden the damn A/C compressor isn't engaging
Plus the damn fuel filter light came on as I was driving down to my shack???
I'll pick up some thinner oil for the winter next time I head over to farm & fleet.
