Mikey2Gun Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 I have a Granit dump truck that only gets up to about 14 thousand rpm. Doesn't matter which gear its in. Governor issue?

JoeH Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 You'd blow up the motor at 14,000 rpm! Change your fuel filters (2 I expect) when they clog they become a restriction point and act like a governor. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73498-no-power-scotty/#findComment-541421 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsmackpaul Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Okay, apart from the typo of 14 grand revs Diesels need two things to work Fuel and air At 1400 does the exhaust run clean ? If it does your running out of fuel If it's black, your running out of air I can't give any further advice until these two questions are answered sorry Paul 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73498-no-power-scotty/#findComment-541422 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I’m thinking it’s electrical. That’s where our trucks maxed out and high gear. Good luck bud.

Your probably right, bit hard to tell with no answers Think like on a mechanical motor that won't allow the governor to fully open in some gears But gay, modern and electronic 🤪 Paul 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73498-no-power-scotty/#findComment-541513 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey2Gun Posted November 8, 2023 Author Share Posted November 8, 2023 Yes, 1,400. Not 14k. Sorry fellas. All work and no play makes Mikey a dull boy. Thank you for the thoughts 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73498-no-power-scotty/#findComment-541627 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackpro Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Are there any fault codes active when your limited to 1400 rpm? Is the PTO light on in the dash? 1400 rpm is the default max engine speed for some faults like camshaft or flywheel speed sensors.
