redcrzr Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 1999 Gen 1--Left Hutch today headed for Chanute. Cruising at 65 mph and suddenly the cruise drops out, speedometer and odometer drop out and we are down to a maximum of 1500 RPM's. Seemed like a little "miss" in engine occasionally. Being out in the middle of no where we continued into Chanute at 55 MPH. We have the D12 Volvo engine and had some engine work done a couple thousand miles ago. New head and 2 pistons. I've also had the center dash replaced, which gave me back signal light issues and odometer. Not so sure any of this is related. No smoke from engine. I plan to call a local Ford garage on Monday morning, they advertise HDT repair. Anything you guys might suggest that I look for? I am on limited WIFI and will check back in on Monday.

Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 If it's "Stumbling" it may be fuel. Camshaft sensor can do that as well. It will depower the engine. If all else fails, pull the battery cables off, let it sit for a few minutes, hook back up and see if it comes back to life.

OU812 Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Hi Todd E. Need more information...... Any codes..?? Is oil pressure normal..?? Are ALL gages readings normal, even dash lights, turn,,?? When driving, and you let off of the throttle....does your retarder brake (Jake) come on,.. even though it is turned off..? Long shot, but.....maybe a loose plug-in on the back of the dash....?? OU812 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcrzr Posted October 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Some answers. Gauges all looked normal, except the speedo & odometer. Retarder never engaged. Shop did the fuel filter change and we still had little power. They tell me it's a boost system leak & have parts coming on Tues. Hoping that's the cure. Volvo engine parts are "special". Thanks for your input. I'll let you know how we do.

RandyA Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Boost system leak?? OK, they should know if they work on HDT engines. But what doesn't add in to the diagnosis in my humble brain is the loss of your speedo and odometer. While they are a product of sensors and the EECM what do they have to do with boost pressure? Just me, but I would be doing some electrical troubleshooting with connections and wiring even if I did not have PID codes showing up. Good luck and I hope you are rolling again soon.

NoDirectionHome Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Did they find a physical leak? If they got a low boost pressure code, it is commonly known that a boost pressure sensor failure from excess EGR coking will give symptoms similar to what you are experiencing. Also common for Cummins engines for the broader audience.

redcrzr Posted October 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Thanks, all. They did find leak in gaskets on pipe on the lower part of engine. I, too don't see any connection to the speedo issue. They are checking some of the electric. I had that section of dash replaced about a year ago, Parts due in today.

redcrzr Posted October 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 Excessive boost leak around the lower charge air cooler connections on passenger side. Rust on flange connections. Cleaned up rust, new o-rings & clamps. Building good boost & making 2100 RPM. Speedometer issue was broken wires on speed sensor from getting into drive line. Repaired wires & new pigtail. No one will believe, or more correctly, explain how the two issues could possibly happen simultaneously. We are again ready to rock on.
