Take this plug apart as directed above and put it together and take it apart 6 or 7 times blow it out and try it this may help.If not take it to a dealer and have them re pin the plug.

I beleive there are three ,If you take it off at the 4 bolts it will hang up on the hub inside!There is one real long one on the bottom 6 - 8 inches and two shorter ones 3-4 inch on the top 13 or 15 mil heads can't remember sizes.The timing advance stays on the engine.the first little section stays with the pump.There is a loose or floating coupling inside.

Welcome to the site! You simply unbolt it from the fuel pump end!First you need to set the engine on its static timing mark on the fly wheel veiwed thru the six hole small plate on the bottom.You remove the timing event marker on the side of the fuel pump (single two wire plug) and peer in the hole there should be a wide blade screwdriver looking tab if its not there you need to turn the engine 180 deg and look again once you have that tab dead center in the timing event marker hole and the engine on the timing mark typicly 7 Deg you can safely remove the pump removing the 3 bolts holding it on!

That price is what we pay for a recon up here in Canada.

We got to fine sum first!Don't think anybodys making one as of yet! This is where we need to get in here 68, put a tiger torch in an old oil barrel mount it under the passenger side cab and call it a dpf We could stand to make millions!

Thought I would post this for discusion! The BC government has lost there marbles If they ever had any! SUBJECT: Upcoming Diesel Retrofit Requirement Managers, Victoria Carrier Safety Inspectors Driver Services Centers Motor Vehicle Inspectors Government Agents TRANS (Director, Chair Passenger Transportation Board Supt. of Motor Vehicles Transportation Policy) Deputy Director, CVSE Trucking Industry Regional CVSE Managers Law Enforcement Agencies Managers, ICBC Licensing Commercial Transport Insp. ADM (Compliance and Consumer (Inspection Stations) Services) Passenger Transportation Branch ____________________________________________________________________________________ PURPOSE OF CIRCULAR To advise that an amendment to the Motor Vehicle Act Regulations will come into effect on October 1, 2010. This will require that heavy duty diesel vehicles of the model years 1989-1993 be retrofitted with emissions reduction devices. This requirement will apply to vehicles with licensed gross vehicles weights of more than 8,200 kg that are required to be inspected under the Commercial Vehicle Inspection Program (CVIP). The following vehicle classes will be exempt from the requirement:  Buses  X-plated vehicles  Emergency vehicles  Farm vehicles with LGVW under 17,300 kg Acceptable emissions reduction devices reduce particulate matter (PM) emissions by at least 20% and are verified by the following agencies:  US Environmental Protection Agency: http://www.epa.gov/otaq/retrofit/verif-list.htm  California Air Resource Board: http://www.arb.ca.gov/diesel/verdev/vt/cvt.htm The diesel retrofit will be an additional inspection item included in the Commercial Vehicle Inspection Program. Impacted vehicles will not pass their required periodic vehicle inspection without a retrofit. CVSE roadside enforcement will also be monitoring compliance of this requirement. BACKGROUND The diesel retrofit requirement was originally announced by the Minister of Environment in June 2007 as part of the Air Action Plan. The intent of the initiative is to reduce harmful particulate matter emissions from heavy emitting diesel vehicles by at least 20%. Particulate matter is a significant air quality and public health concern and is linked to cardiovascular and respiratory hospitalizations, respiratory diseases, chronic obstructive lung disease, chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, heart disease and lung cancer. Vehicle owners will be responsible for the cost of the retrofit estimated to be between $1,200 and $2,500 depending on vehicle type. Further information (FAQs) can be found at: www.th.gov.bc.ca/cvse/diesel_retrofit/. Link to Air Action Plan: http://www.bcairsmart.ca/. For questions on this initiative contact: diesel.retrofit@gov.bc.ca or call 250-356-9797. Greg Gilks, Anyone know where we can get aprox 10000 dpf addon kits quick?????????????/ These guys are serious!

I agree with a lot of what you have said here ! Althou I beleive the v8 died long before Sven and Ollie took over,Blaming volvo for that is not the right thing, the EPA killed the v8.

>Let it idle for 16 hours last night and when i left the truckstop this morning smoked like an old pos detroit that was on fire. < Far as Im concerned ,look no further than that statment above For your oil burning problem and the turbo leak! Idling is the absolute Worst ,thing you can do to a diesel or any kind of engine No ,load is a no no period!

If its a warrenty item you should get it delt with!Is the fault light coming on?If there is a solnoid problem the computer will throw a engine brake driver code!Question Did those guys replace any rocker bolts?Were there any charged out on any of the reciepts you got, Just a thought (not tring to put the fear of god into you) but if rocker bolts are backing off you may be loosing oil preasure to the rocker shaft.

With out good info comments are usless until you have good info!As I mentioned things change from year to year horse power to horse power.

I.m doubtfull on the warrenty thing Chuck 68 be the man to talk to. Parts warrenty I beleive is a Year, Transferable ? Duno! Make sure its not the turbo drain tube!

Welcome to the site! You need to provide more info! the horse power of the truck Is the truck electronic or manual fuel pump late 90's is to vague to many changes between years! any symtoms it may have helps loads -black smoke no smoke pyro and boost readings! -these all help in reguards to repairs

Welcome to the site! Some items of intrest!All dual stack mufflers are not created equal! The dual stack mufflers DO NOT flow as well as a single stack muffler so removing one may have caused this problem. Why no# 5 don't know You may have a fuel pump problem as well!Or Check to see if the compressor inlet line is not leaking at the compressor head It enters the manifold near No#5 cyl That may be the problem!I have seen the air drier check valves fail dumping the boost out the air drier, The best test for any intake leaks is to preasure test the intake system by puting 30 psi shop air to the whole system .You say the exhast brake is working BUT is it coming off all the way this maybe causeing greif if it is not returning to the off position. Just some stuff to think on!

To add to Daves coments, Another trick is to pull the drivers fuel tank as he air tank has to come out anyway it makes things a bit easier 4 bolts and the crossover line and its off as long as you got a fork lift,this way you don't need to lift the truck as high. We have a set of chains with hooks on em to bolt to the bellhousing once the trans is out we hang the engine from the engine mount where the rubbers go!

Remove the floor boards Jack under the engine bell housing!remove the engine mount rubbers on the rear this means the top ones as well!This lets you have room to lower the engine and trans for removal.You may have to remove one side at a time to get the upper rubbers out!I highly sugest going in thru the bottom cover and removing the clutch from the fly wheel it make everything much easier with the clutch left with the trans!don't forget to Remove the clutch linkage.If this is the first time out for the trans the rh engine mount bolts will be in from the top down you may have to cut the heads off em to remove em install em with the bolts up from the bottom on install, MARK ALL THE AIR LINES apon removall! My hints for now if ya need more help just ask!

Yup !The truck was born cummins then repowered with 3408 then repowered mack about 10-15 years ago Its funny this post popped up now! We just rebuilt the engine again last week cause number 4 the main bearing cap had shuffled and would not accept new main bearings (This an odd occurance on a V8) as we were doing a bearing rollin!Ended up building an engine from a diffrent block from scratch to get it hauling logs again!Its a 500 with an 18 speed behind it!It had a 12 speed behind but was upgraded several years back to the 18.Its a neat old truck there were only several ever built!

Book mark this! for your further enjoyment! http://www.nortrux.ca/index.php?page_id=1033

Head gasket leak between the heads is a possibility ! Or a bad cam roller.

Easier said than done on this there is a tamper proof screw on the back side that is a real pain to get to!The fuel lines are right above It

Fuel pump settings and injector settings! sum times a diffrent turbo!

mY PUTER won't conect at all I have to go to the outside server to grt on then its real slow! A windows seven glitch maybe.

Did that still no go!The trouble shooter says my computer is configured properly but the device I am tring to conect too is the problem! Duno!I can conet from work or any other puter this is werid! Thanx for checkin!

Barry are you reading your emails? If your not getting them! I'm still struggling with this problem!

If the stick is moving about then its in the main box!Check for peices on the drain plug small ball bearings. the main shaft maybe floating!
