Got to love it, easy engine to fix and run. Down side the 60 is one of the loudest Diesel engines for over the road uses but the milage is good and torque is great. All around good engine.
I’m more inclined to believe it was the filters. I have never seen one of those fuel pumps go bad. I try to talk people out of replacing them because it’s a waste of money and that’s never it. Glad it worked for you, that’s a rare failure.
Ok, so what is the problem?? You posted the same thing on a different video. I have a series 60 12.7 that acts like it’s running out of fuel. Can’t give it any throttle or it just spits and spudders. Changed the filters and boost sensor last night but no luck. Put new fuel lines on it a few weeks ago along with new fuel tanks. The truck starts and goes down the road but you have to feather the throttle very lightly. I’m open for suggestions.
Hey nice work Duke and great video! You're the man. Beautiful country out there. Looked like a tough day for Samson. Thanks for sharing. Stay buff dude!
YOYO the Series 60 is a Unit injection engine. This means the pump only sends the fuel to the injectors at a 70 PSI. And the injectors have a plunger that brings the pressure up to proper pressure. All you need on one of these engines is for the charge pump to have fuel and the rest will self prime.
Are the pumps you are replacing the same for all Detroit engine’s, ???? Mine is a 4 cylinder 4 71 or4 53, nor sure which one , the pump is a 3 bolt, two ports, in and out , thanks for your info, thanks BigAl California.
Great video Duke excellent work in green pastures. I’m not a mechanic but I’m inspired by your video to change my fuel pump got 03 12.7 Detroit 1.18million miles but runs daily got some days I’ve had to use the starter spray ,what you think any tips will be appreciated...can’t beat the call of the hound dog 4 leg friends are best...happy trails
+richly mann thankyou, yeah love those Detroits. Just want to mention to check your fuel filters too (you may have done it already). The Detriot in the video has 3 and one gets dirtier than the others which creates a hard start-up. Thanks again.
The major reason most of the time is actually fuel filters and some trucks have more than one filter so that should be the first and simplistic thing to check.
