    2009 sprinter lack of power

    I could try to solve this telepathically. :D

    I bet that was a hassle. Which engine did you select?

    Soot Sensors and Dpf

    Hey there blackpup. There's something funky with your link, might want to double check that. Soot sensors? Trucks with DPF have temperature sensors and differential pressure sensors. The differential pressure sensor tubes can get clogged with soot. SOA for working on trucks with these...

    The world can only handle one of me. I hate Sprinters. Good luck.

    This article about bubble physics has something to do with diesel engines.

    It makes rebuilds much, much easier. The engine can stay in the truck. It is NOT cheaper to do it this way. Not all engines with removable liners have liners in direct contact with water, but many do. To rebuild an engine with a parent bore block, the engine would have to be removed...

    Big Truck I work on Hino trucks. I'll answer any questions I know the answers to.

    Pretty common. The injectors degrade, the ecu can't control them properly, it overfuels, fills the dpf with soot and eventually melts it or blows the rear off of it. What did you originally take it in for? Check engine light? Is there soot in the exhaust pipe?

    This article about bubble physics has something to do with diesel engines.

    When the liner sees the shock of combustion, it essentially rings like a bell. This high frequency vibration causes bubbles of vacuum, cavitation, on the liner's surface. When the bubbles collapse, the shock is tremendous. Metal is eroded away. This is the reason we use coolant with SCA's and...

    What are the specs? Engine, trans, gears, wheelbase, gwvr? What have been the the biggest technical obstacles?

    Maybe this one was taken off some sweet jumps.

    Sprinter PM results

    Has anyone lost a pinion bearing on an early Sprinter? The boss' s brother roached one on his 2006 2500. At first they were thinking of just putting bearings in it, but I argued pretty hard that it would make noise. The pinion was moving in and out, up and down, wiping the original pattern off...

    This article about bubble physics has something to do with diesel engines.

    Nope. It's liner cavitation, specifically. There are a few cases of some engines that have parent bore blocks with cavitation pitting issues, but they are relatively uncommon. A wet liner will absolutely get eaten away. Holes right through the liner, or the liner separates into two pieces...

    C'mon, someone knows the answer to this.

    This article about bubble physics has something to do with diesel engines.

    What parts can degrade if vacuum bubbles form on the surface then explosively collapse? Hint: They see huge shock, causing high frequency vibration. Not all diesel engines have the item in question, but almost all large ones do.

    Nope! It's a roll back, isn't it? Sacrifice top end for acceleration and change the rear gearing.

    Even though the article doesn't mention it. Explosion-Generated Collapsing Vacuum Bubbles Reach 20,000 Kelvin Can anyone guess?

    Homo naledi, a new species of human, discovered in a cave in South Africa

    Homo naledi, a new species of human, discovered in a cave in South Africa Remarkable discovery. To remove the remains, they had to send in a group of petite female anthropologists. The route through the cave was so tiny that some could only squeeze through after exhaling. Edit: H o m o...

    Big Truck I work on Hino trucks. I'll answer any questions I know the answers to.

    The usual suspects are the turbo's vnt controller and high/low pressure at fuel rail. Get the codes read first. Otherwise you'll be wasting your time. You could also put a fuel filter on it and check for restrictions, and hose down the vnt link pivots with loctite nickel antiseize. I have...
