Hey guys. I've been creeping looking at yall's site and decided to join. Looks like alot of useful information. I was a heavy duty diesel mechanic to pay for college but never personally owned one. I mostly worked on Mack's but have worked on Detroits and Caterpillars also. I bought a 1991.5 Dodge W250 about 2 months ago. It had a bad getrag so I got somewhat of a deal on it. I'm guessing that 91.5 stands for intercooled trucks. I'm having engine problems with a knock lately but hope to figure it out with this great source of information. Thanks for letting me join!

 

welcome i have a 91.5 also

 

Thanks!

 

 

Hello

I am new here as well. I need to chat with someone that knows the old 8.2 Fuel Pincher
turbo Detroit . We just bought a lightly used low mileage (105K) 1 owner, garage kept Toterhome with this engine. We will be pulling a sprint car trailer with it (40').

I have read a lot of bad press in the 8.2 so would like to keep ahead of this engine regarding maintenance and use. Any info or hints from you would be appreciated.
Thanks!

 

Howdy! Welcome to Diesel Bombers! Enjoy the site!
