mack88 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 What to get governor rebuilt e6 350 4v can it be removed without taking injection pump out looks tight with air compressor Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70141-govenor/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBWhite Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Im pretty sure the Air compressor is driven from the injection pump so it will have to be removed. I'd say if you take the governor off without the rest of the pump the rack might be Impossible to retime Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70141-govenor/#findComment-503551 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The governor can be removed with out disturbing segments and rebuilt if you can find a Good fuel shop to deal with It! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70141-govenor/#findComment-503613 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBWhite Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Good to know! Had an Mh that surged and bucked horribly when it wasn't under load, maybe the governor just needed to be rebuilt Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70141-govenor/#findComment-503628 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackpro Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Back in the late 80’s one of the old guys I worked with was messing with a rough running E7 . He pulled the fuel filters which had been replaced trying to fix the miss . He poured out diesel. Then re-filled with half with diesel other half automatic transmission fluid. Within 5 minutes it was running like new . Not saying put ATF in there but looked like a miracle to me . 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70141-govenor/#findComment-503733 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a bit pricey But I always like to recommend Standyne lubricity formula as a last go to, before having to pull a fuel pump ,if it don't cure the issue it is a pump shop job! seen the stuff smarten up pumps many times!

I use Opti-Lube XPD all the time. Great lubricity additives in it. With this ultra-low sulfur fuel, I don't think it's a bad idea to put a little something in there. 1 Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

Brian L Blaylock Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 The automatic transmission fluid works good if you are afraid of the red color power steering fluid does good as well Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70141-govenor/#findComment-503885 Share on other sites More sharing options...
