Mechanic tells me that I have injector failure. Dumping fuel into my oil.

[@TATEXPRESSINC]

Yes, that is a symptom of a leaking injector. May run test to find out which one is leaking or replace all if high mileage. Thank you for sharing.

[@rickyj2013]

I've been working on diesels for about 10 years now but I haven't gotten to work on any detroits so I've never seen this test. This is a great idea, I could definitely apply this to other engines with unit injectors.

[@wapostransport1949]

I wanted to thank you for your videos and comments they do a lot for us is owner operators.

[@dwightsalter2394]

Very informative. Yes if I have any questions I will contact. I think I just found me a great mechanic. Step by step. Great video.

Hi your videos are very educational, thank you for that. My freightliner 2019 dd15 engine I have noticed from yesterday it burn more fuel than usual. Before it was 7.2 to 7.5 miles per gallon but since yesterday she burned 6.50 miles per gallon!? And in the morning when I start the engine white smoke coming out of her exhaust

Replace Fuel pomp connected to compressor

[@oscarterrazas8005]

What’s up boss ? I’m out of El Paso Tx just got a 60 series . Would really appreciate it if you did more on these videos

[@oraliaornelas2080]

You have the most beautiful smile!!!

[@charlieabbot3649]

Well done! On the injector harness, where it connects to the injector, is there supposed to be oil in the connection? Or, does it hurt, as in make the injectors cut out erratically? Thanks

[@Benjamin-oy9fj]

Have a 12.7 losing prime and brand new injectors brand new check valve . The filter canister was low new check valve on that, too feel the canister start and shots of, but after cracking for a bit, it start

[@showmakertb]

Remain head 10 months ago. Got pressure in the system along with diesel now

[@pauldurrah3777]

thanks for this great video. so can you do the air pressure test without removing the jakes and rocker boxes?

[@j06c]

Good question

[@abepenner7497]

I don't believe so. The reason to take the Jake brakes off is to take the rockers off. You need to take the rockers off so that each cylinder's valves and injectors are closed

[@user-wp3po2ib2z]

My dream ❤❤❤

[@nrplogistics4998]

Great video Max, I get an injector failure code for all 6 injectors SID-317 FMI-4 injector supply voltage, and SID 1-6 injector cylinder, could be this a oring failure as well?

[@MrJOHNSONAC]

Sir thanks for the video. I’m looking at a international big truck that want start unless you spray starter fluid and then stop. I’m thinking injectors but the owner said they were tested already. What’s is your comment? Thanks

[@henryandrhonadaclark4365]

before you pressured the head did you look for air in fuel return line ie. put run fuel return into a bucket ? just curious . so how did air get into cylinder ? past lower oring and the copression seal .

[@mateuszc3020]

Thanks for a great video. I have a 2007 Coronado with d60. When starting cold it blows a lot of white smoke for a couple of min. It also sometimes loose some power when pulling. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

Hey like your channel I have a Detroit 60 series 11.1 l which have nock like low fuel or a bad injector

[@juanmoya5287]

Man I like ur videos ,I have a 2008 century with a 14l but when there's cold weather outside sometime I'm driving n it starts sputtering like it doesn't want to go I release the accelerating n accelerate slowing n it stops sputtering only when there cold weather how can I fix that or whatshould I do

What causes oil to come out of exhaust manifold on a 12.7 detroit ?

[@AmanSingh-yq9ch]

Hello mate what motor u recon for low cost maintenance and long life for highway trucking and canadian weather

[@scottberry5266]

Would the copper and o rings being damaged cause blow by ??? My Detroit seems to be getting worse on the blow by , it runs good but the blow by is getting worse and it spits oil out the breather tube.

Hi I have questions on fright liner cascades I’m haven shifting issue specifically after slowing down or stop at red light It like transmission can’t figure out what gear it have to shift to so it’s keep shifting to a gear and then shifting back to natural and keep doing it until it get to right gear What you think about it

I have Detroit series 60 14.0 engine be overhaul i put new remanufacture injector and now i have miss fire every time I release gas pedal sometimes white smoke

[@bigpatsunderthehood5552]

Hello Adam when a turbo fails on a 60 series and there isn’t any boost what color is the smoke

[@NomadTrucker]

Can a bad injector o ring cause fuel to get into your oil and the Mpgs and power be normal? The injectors are fairly new, so im curious if i can do the same and just do a ring kit on the bad injector.

[@jakemrcool]

How do you get the correct injector hight set?

[@earlbracknell3241]

i have a 1999 freightliner with 12.7 detroit series 60 getting alot of fuel in crankcase oil getting worst i,m thinking injector seals what do you think put 6 remans in it about 8 years ago ?

I just rebuilt my Scania motor .I noticed some white smoke from exhuast with a diesel smell to it and i see some smoke or it can be steam from breather pipe while driving it to test it it was missfireing but not all the time please give my your thoughts.I have not yet put it under load

[@chevyjohn7740]

Replaced all o-rings and crush washers on all injectors Detroit ddecv still get air out return line and has a miss under heavy load.

Thanks for your videos. I have 1996 Detroit serie 60 12.7 glider kit. When I turn ignition on is no voltage to injector wires , non of them , truck not starts! Any idee please. Should it be voltage there right?

[@kingjames8283]

I had my DD S60 12.7L rebuilt four years ago, everything inside brand new except injectors. I replaced all fuel hoses from tanks to engine and back to tanks. Swapped out Fuel Pro 382 (see through filter) for old style spin-on fuel filters including all new check valves. The one issue which has never resolved is in morning with cold startup, engine fires up within 3-seconds like normal, immediately goes into cold start high idle and runs smooth (zero smoke) from 1000 rpms, 900, 800, 700, and then somewhere in the 600 rpm range as engine is warming up, it begins loping real bad and begins stuttering (putt-putt-putt still no smoke) and does not self correct as engine continues idling down into 500 rpm range. The only way to force it to stop is to blip the accelerator pedal which then immediately smooths out and stays like that the rest of day engine is running. It's done this everyday for the 11-years I've owned this truck. Sometimes during work day when going from road speed to a sudden stop such as at red traffic light, engine will lope for several seconds at idle and then smooth out. This is annoying and no one at my truck shop knows what is causing these issues. What is your experience with this irritating problem with the 60 series engines? I'm thinking about having an injector six-pack installed with all brand new injectors but I don't know if that is the problem or not. Also wondering could this be an idle validation issue with ECM. I have zero fault-codes.

[@emrwtf]

maybe this? kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5u7enWjpNd7m9U

[@emilyramsey9079]

I have a 2000 XL classic that does the same thing but now it has a power issues on and off randomly and is now parked until I can figure it out. It's a toy hauler not a revenue source so it can set.

[@kingjames8283]

@@emilyramsey9079 - Update to my earlier posting. In the time since that posting I had a brand new head installed with six brand new injectors, and my third set of TRS/SRS sensors. Had the ECM reflashed with the correct injector calibration codes and engine now runs like a new one without any loping whatsoever. It is a whole "like-new" experience and I love it.

My dd 12.7 was making oil and had about 30% fuel dissolution so I had the injector rings all changed and it’s been about two months. But recently my low oil pressure shutdown sensor activated and derating the truck.. the mechanic never changed the hold down bolts…? Should I put the die in the fuel separator and black light it or pressure test it first?

[@manoftheyearkp7158]

What's up man. I have a volvo d13 engine I have this problem where my truck is shaking bad when I start it and it accelerates real slow or it's not accelerating at all. Do you think it's a fuel pump, fuel filter or, a fuel injector issue?

Good day my name is Fred, I have a 14L which I did a full delete, what I'm experiencing is fuel I'm my exhaust. I change #2 injector a week ago now I'm seeing fuel leaks from cylinder 1,2&3 any idea what could be wrong? Delete and injector swap was done at a certified shop.

[@mos55biker]

My dd13 has a hard start after I run it and I let it rest for over 45 minutes before i try to restart it again. But if I shut it off and turn it on right away I don't have any issues. CRAZY part is that when I start the truck when It's tested foe over 5 hours it's start fine. What do you think it is?

can you send me a link to the detroit manuals page where they mention making a tool to pressurize fuel system please?

[@shawnbowman687]

I’ve got a 14 L In a Cascadia right now that’s running on three cylinders or it seems to be. scan tool is not pulling data from the ECM ECM has been replaced I’ve took apart all the wiring from the ECM to the injectors and everything looks fine kind of stumped on it. No codes no check engine light I don’t even think the check engine light goes through it’s test cycle when you turn the switch on. It won’t let me do a cut out test or anything?? Looks like I’ll be digging into some more wiring tomorrow.

Great video. I have one question. What did you say about 90 degree when torquing the hold down bolt for second step. Can you please explain that. I have 2009 Detroit Diesel series 60 in cold weather it starts very rough it spits and sputters for little bit and alot of white smoke, and after warming up it's fine. I m suspecting a bad injector. Sometime while idling it gets a little rough after giving it some power it becomes smooth.

[@TATEXPRESSINC]

hello and thanks for watching, 90 DEGREES is the final torque. Do you have any codes? If not, you could try this test along with dye to find leak. I would also recommend a oil analyst to verify if you have an internal leak

We have a 1995 Detroit 60 series in a Pierce fire truck that is getting worst. The truck will run sometimes cold, but when leavining the scene or just starting down the road it will blow white smoke and bog up hills until it dies. Full throttle does not help nor does half throttle. We made it to the scene today but almost did not make it back. We are a volunteer fire company so we are not very well off and would like to do the work ourselves. Injectors are on the outside of the engine on the driverside.. Any help would be appreciated.
