Detroit Diesel Power

[@keshkakotera8972]

Great collection of information. Now to tackle mine. My issue is loosing power after driving about 5-10 miles. I added a fuel pressure guage to the spare left bank fuel rail in the head and it shows very little pressure. My first stop is to pinch off the return line and see what that does. Thank you for this vid! Very helpfull.

A spoon full of ether helps the medicine go down Chris😂😂😂
You just spray it till she's completely washed out!
Oh SNAP...she runs like a champ...outstanding!
Great video as always!

[@orville58]

Sounds good you wouldn’t believe the junk I have to deal with at work thanks for your videos they really help me a lot

[@dutchfellerstm4305]

This by far was the most informative video/breakdown of the fuel distribution for the Detroit 8.2l (Fuel Pincher) out on the web I have came across. #5Stars This has given me a real good trouble shooting flow chart to go by with a similar problem. I'll chime in after I get mine back up and running. Thanks!!

[@johnmwangi6291]

For some reason this has cleared up my understanding for common rail system..😎

[@mikemangold6418]

Your communication skills are stellar! Your process of troubleshooting fit my need awesome. I am heading up to start my F 800 1986 after 10 years.

[@vicpetrishak7705]

Agreeing with you it is not a PowerHouse , it is a Boat Anchor ! The GMC BRIGADIER was of very simple fleet designed truck . Yellow Freight had a fleet of them , all they needed was 4 more feet of frame rail , air ride suspension , and an air ride cab !

[@galesams4205]

I have worked on these 8.2 detroits will start in the coldest of weather, and have NEVER replaced a fuel pump they never ware out. The bigest problem was the head gaskets and the injectors leaking diesel fuel in to the oil.

Another great one Chris. Thanks for bringing us along.

Looks like equipment I have at work!! Great diagnostics and explanation! Thanks Chris!

[@AlwaysBored123]

Great video very helpful in understanding how the fuel systems work on these engines.

[@CubasAutomotive]

Really cool.... loved the thought process. Learned a bit too. 👍🏻

[@thomasdamato4477]

Hi Chris great video!

[@wyattoneable]

You know your stuff. The bonus to us is you can relay information clearly making for a good video.

[@sonofmontezuma3732]

Sir that's is the famous fuel pincher engine.

[@DylanRabier]

Great job Chris. Thanks for explaining the fix. Seems you lost rpm once it was running. 👍

*Hey..be "nice?" With the "Custom" comments... I bet that 88 Has EARNED its Weight in gold.. But Parts for these Old Glory-Be's.. Get hard to find. 🤔 (and Usually those parts break- just as the Owner is Broke🙄

[@henrygrimm6388]

Have question 1966 D9 cat had to replace starter bendix was sticking but ran replaced fuel filter while I was at it now got crank no start

[@howardcrawford5174]

I have the same engine that is leaking coolant into the oil pan and i correct in thinking that it is the head gasket.

[@potatolew4495]

Yes indeed you are especially if it overheated once. I have been a captain/engineer of large commercial fishing vessels and private yachts for 27 years, have come across and repaired many of these engines. They are ticking time bombs, very temperamental especially to overheats, head gaskets are a major fail point.

[@user-xx1rp9ve4z]

Can u help me our why is my pump on my 1989 8.2 v8Detroit pulling fuel out of the returned filter that is the smallest one under the truck buy the motor as long as it stays full it will run but when it's out it cuts off

[@natekeo7192]

my solenoid in mine doesn’t retract on its own and i’ve put two new ones in what can cause it to not retract by itself?

[@Jerminator6320]

I’ve got one of these 8.2 Detroits and it’s getting fuel in the oil what would cause this

[@carlsimolke7180]

Omg man ive searched for days for something like this. How do i get that manual pdf?? I need one bad. Someone before me has messed with this truck and i need to set the idle screw setup and check the things you did as well.

[@MrOmarimoe]

Great video and very informative, i have the same engine in my dump truck and was wondering what the ideal way is to bleed the fuel system after swapping out the fuel filters? Obviously these don’t have a lift pump so what does the service manual recommend?

[@ScienceOfDiagnostics]

Don't have the manual in front of me at the moment but if I recall correctly, they want you to prime the fuel filters and then crank over the engine until it starts (if supply pump in the injection pump operates correctly it should fire off quickly).
You can also pinch off the return line to force air out the injectors quicker.

[@TeamTopKick]

What I do is full the filters than cycle the ignition on and off like 5 times then on the 5th time turn he over and it starts up pretty much instantly but sputters for a few seconds till it basically bleeds its self and cleans up and your good.

[@bundylovess]

Awesome job big thumbs up 👍

[@wildcoastadventures7535]

Great Video! Thank You !

[@acey02kw]

Where did you get your manual? I've been trying to find one lately just unsure of best place

[@ericcole8973]

Any suggestions on why mine smokes black and has a loss of power?

[@michaeldoiron1107]

Great video..... I have the same problem at the moment and will try what you did....Do you have a copy of that manual by any chance?

[@user-xx1rp9ve4z]

It's not pulling from the tank its pulling fuel from the small filter up under the truck

[@fascistpedant758]

Interesting video, thanks.

[@livedlearnedDIY]

I have this same engine in a chevy bucket truck. It is leaking diesel into the crankcase oil. Where should I start trouble shooting?

[@beckywatt5048]

jay powell Injector o rings , first , dead cylinder second , cracked head third , they like to blow head gaskets if run hot ,hard, and overloaded, being in a boom truck is almost ideal for these engines . running at a decent rpm with moderate rpm , really good on fuel .

[@jesussalas6360]

Will the manual be available, or somewhere to download it?

[@julian4005]

Hi man, how are you? hope its ok....how can i get a detroit 8.2 engine manual. to be able to repair my engine?

[@hermansmokeatily7228]

How do you adjust the governor?

[@danieldowdle7482]

I think that’s the problem on my 83 Galion grader. Let me know if you find anything out, if you don’t mind.

[@user-xx1rp9ve4z]

It's not pulling from the tank
