8.3 CUMMINS DIESEL ENGINE PROBLEMS, RELIABILITY, SPECS Cummins began producing the original 8.3 C-series engines in 1985. The ISC 8.3 Cummins came out in 1998 and uses the same basic design. It offers up to 400 horsepower and 1075 lb-ft of torque. This made it a great engine for fire trucks, trash trucks, and heavy equipment. However, the ISC 8.3 diesel is likely best known for its use in

motorhomes.

THE 5 MOST COMMON 12V CUMMINS 6BT ENGINE PROBLEMS The legendary Cummins 12v, also known as the 5.9L 6BT, is widely regarded as the best diesel engine ever. The 12v was released by Cummins in 1984 primarily for farm equipment. In 1989, Cummins and Dodge partnered with the 12v launching in Dodge /Ram’s 2500 & 3500 trucks. It is the big brother to the THE 5 MOST COMMON ISB 6.7 CUMMINS ENGINE PROBLEMS 3) Dodge, Ram 6.7 Cummins Head Gasket Problems. Head gasket problems on the 6.7 Cummins may not be too common in actuality. However, compared to the previous 5.9 Cummins engines the B6.7 runs into the issue a lot more frequently. Part of it may have to do THE 3 MOST COMMON FORD TRITON V10 ENGINE PROBLEMS Common Ford 6.8 Triton V10 Engine Problems. 1. Triton V10 Spark Plug Blowout. Pre-2002 V10 Triton engines have an unfortunate design flaw within the cylinder head and spark plug designs that can cause the plugs to actually eject out of cylinder head, or weld themselves to

it.

THE 4 MOST COMMON FORD 3.0 POWERSTROKE DIESEL ENGINE PROBLEMS 1) Ford 3.0 Diesel V6 Crankshaft Bearings. This issue is purely speculation based on previous failures on the 3.0L diesel engine. However, these were problems before Ford designated the 3.0 diesel in the Power Stroke family and in the F-150. Fortunately, it doesn’t seem the crankshaft bearing issues are occurring on the 3.0

Powerstroke.

9 COMMON PROBLEMS WITH 7.3 POWER STROKE DIESEL ENGINES 9) 7.3 Power Stroke Diesel Fuel Heater Problems. Fuel heater. – The fuel heater can short out and blow maxi fuse #22, disabling the PCM.

RPM’s.

THE 6 MOST COMMON FORD 6.4 POWER STROKE ENGINE PROBLEMS 3) 6.4 Power Stroke Up-Pipe Problems. The exhaust up-pipe is another common problem on Ford 6.4 Power Stroke engines. Expansion joints on the up-pipes are prone to cracking, especially with age and mileage. The cause of the issues usually boils down to vibration and heat

cycles.

THE 5 MOST COMMON FORD 6.7 POWERSTROKE DIESEL ENGINE PROBLEMS 1) 6.7 PowerStroke EGT Sensor Failure. Exhaust gas temperate (EGT) sensor problems are among the most frequent issues on the 6.7 PowerStroke engines.

CUMMINS P1693 ENGINE CODE P1693 is considered the “companion code”. It is triggered when the powertrain control module (PCM) detects a code that us not actually associated with the PCM.

The Navistar International T444E is a similar engine to the 7.3 Power Stroke. Of course, International built the 7.3 Power Stroke for Ford and they use this engine variant in their own applications, such as International trucks. FORD POWERSTROKE TURBODIESEL HORSEPOWER & TORQUE These updates led to an increase of 40 horsepower and 60 torque in the first year of the 2nd gen 6.7 Powerstroke. Some small updates and software improvements helped squeeze even more power out of the engine up through 2019. Then – for 2020 model year F-250 and F-350’s – Ford introduced the 3rd generation of the 6.7L turbodiesel. BEST FORD POWER STROKE 7.3L DIESEL ENGINE MODS 4) 7.3 Power Stroke Turbo Upgrades. Turbo mods for the Ford 7.3L diesel are getting into slightly new territory. Intake and exhaust mods are simple bolt-on that offer solid performance for the price. Tunes offer excellent bang for the buck and are essential in getting the most out of your engine. 7.3 Power Stroke turbo upgrades have the

FORD 6.0 POWER STROKE BULLETPROOFING Install can run about $700-1,000 so the upgrade can cost upwards or beyond $3,000 all in. Compare that to a factory Ford 6.0 Power Stroke oil cooler for about $300. Add in labor and you can still replace the factory oil cooler about 3x before the bulletproof 6.0L oil cooler upgrade is worth the cost. CUMMINS DIESEL 5.9 LITER B SERIES ENGINE: SPECS Cummins 12v 5.9L 6BT. The Cummins Diesel 5.9 liter Engine 6BT, aka the Cummins “12-valve” was the first member of the “B” engine family to be used in a light truck vehicle. The 6BT used Robert Bosch GmbH fuel systems, injector, and VE rotary pump and P7100 inline injection pumps. Some early 6BT’s were supplied with CAV rotary

pumps

FORD 6.2 VS 7.3 VS 6.7 POWERSTROKE ENGINES Ford 6.2L gas engines – also known as the 6.2 Boss – are the standard option for F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks. The 7.3 gas vs 6.7 Powerstroke both come with price increases. As such, the 6.2 V8 is an excellent cost-effective engine. With 385hp and 430 lb-ft it offers plenty of performance and towing capability for most. THE 4 MOST COMMON CUMMINS 5.9L ENGINE PROBLEMS 4. Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (APPS) Failure – Cummins 5.9L. The accelerator pedal position, referred to as APPS, is responsible for telling the ECM how depressed the pedal is.

12V VS 24V CUMMINS TURBODIESEL More reliable. High HP potential. One of the biggest benefits for the 12 valve 5.9 Cummins engine is simplicity. The engine was built in an era before endless electronics and complex systems. Cummins 12v engines use the P7100 injection pump, which is known to CUMMINS DIESEL 5.9 ENGINES The 5.9L Cummins 12-valve diesel engines, manufactured between 1988 and 1998, feature a steel dowel pin that locates the front timing gearcase. Over time, this steel dowel pin can wobble out due to the constant heat cycles and vibrations of the engine. If (or when) the dowel pin works its way completely out, it falls into the timing gearcase.When the dowel pin falls, one of DODGE RAM 8.0 MAGNUM V10 ENGINE SPECS, INFO, RELIABILITY Dodge Ram V10 Magnum engines also offer the full 450 lb-ft of torque at a mere 2,400 RPM’s.
