Re: engine starts but shuts down Reply #27 – November 27, 2023, 09:46:33 am Quote from: Protech Racing – November 26, 2023, 10:25:19 pmIs the oil extra black and fuel diluted?. Give it e sniff and wipe test on your hand .It could have low pressure and the nannies are working. The oil is black but it doesn't smell like fuel. I did add a little extra oil and it seemed to run okay for a while but I think it was just a glitch. After about a mile running down the highway at 40 miles an hour the check engine light came on again and then the engine shut off.I last changed the oil about 8 months ago and was going to have it done in quartzsite.

I'm going out now to go see a Mennonite diesel mechanic hopefully he knows and has to correct tools. Quote Selected
Re: engine starts but shuts down Reply #29 – November 27, 2023, 11:03:26 am If the pressure switch completes the circuit try unplugging the switch and jump the 2 wires in the plug,you know you have oil pressure,if it runs good you know for sure it's the switch. Quote Selected 6 Likes
Re: engine starts but shuts down Reply #30 – November 27, 2023, 11:42:56 am I'll try that David. The mechanic can't do it he won't work on RVs and doesn't have the help right now I found a really good diesel mechanic near Midland but they can't see me before next Wednesday I ordered a new sender on eBay the Cummins part, and it should be here by December 1st if not sooner.Owl Tools Jumbo Crows Foot Wrench Set 1/2 Drive - (14 Piece Set in Large SAE Sizes from 1 1/16" to 2") Black Oxide with Laser Etched Sizing Crowfoot Wrench Set Owl Tools Jumbo Crows Foot Wrench Set 1/2 Drive - (14 Piece Set in Large SAE...Who doesn't need some more tools?

But, I would conform with Cummins before sending any closed/zero Ohm "signal" to the ECM.You would need to know if the pressure switch is an open or closed contact type or .... an analog signal type to the ECM. If it's an analog signal, then you would definitely want to check with Cummins or a knowledgeable person familiar with their ECM. Quote Selected
Re: engine starts but shuts down Reply #34 – November 27, 2023, 01:32:00 pm I'm going to err on the side of caution and not try that. Since I have a new part coming anyway I'll just switch it out. It can't hurt and at 20 bucks plus tax and free shipping it was a good deal. I paid three times more for the tools. They do sell a one and one quarter inch Crow foot single on Amazon for $15 but I figured I might as well get the whole set just in case.Also bought some booties for my dog from ruff wear. There's not much in this area except for oil, gas, drive thru liquor stores and way to many churches... One I passed today was called whisper Jesus.. Appreciate everybody's help and input, especially Mark who found that excellent deal online for the oil sender. Really guys for 20 bucks if you got an m11 you might as well get one, if I had had a spare it would have been great but I can't have a spare for everything. Quote Selected

Re: engine starts but shuts down Reply #36 – December 01, 2023, 02:22:17 pm Well my $20 eBay Park arrived yesterday, and it took me about an hour and a half to install it. I had to take the big air pipe off to get better access. The old part and the new part uses a slightly different size claw with the new one being slightly smaller. Pictures were hard to take as my hands were dirty and my phone's already got it cracked in the screen protector, getting the new one screwed in was really the hardest part. A few scrapes and scratches on my right arm otherwise I'm good.I fired everything up and good oil pressure readings on both the dash and silverleaf and they matched which they haven't been doing lately which I guess could have been my clue that maybe that part was failing. Don't know how much money I saved but if I had gone to the diesel mechanic I'm guessing that it would have been something in the range of a thousand dollars or more not to mention the fact that I might of had to tow it there... I could make Balmorhea today but I'm going to wait till tomorrow. Dog boots came in too and chief is doing good with those although he didn't like the socks. Feels good when you accomplish something and save money.... As always I appreciate your comments and especially part numbers. Quote Selected 18 Likes
