are they cheap 370's??? are they 14 hole ones??? reason i ask, a friend of mine had an injector tip break off in his motor, ran like crap and got a valve......

 

Hows the fuel pressure? Overflow valves cause interesting problems especially in a fueled truck. I would tap the line with a gauge and check incoming fuel pressure before going too crazy. A faulty O/F valve will cause very poor IP internal pressure, and consequently those injectors will not pattern right, causing your smoke, idle and midrange stumble and backfire.

 

I adjusted the vavles about 8000 miiles ago. The injectors are bosch 370 marine 5 or 6 hole nozzles, i was trying to limp it home last night and the motor overheated and siezed up, so now how do i try to figure this thing out?

 

sounds like she will make a good core......

 

Sounds to me like u might have had a faulty injector, or had a valve issue and melted a piston.

Before u use those injectors again, have them pop tested at a diesel shop to make sure they are within spec. MOST places will do this for cheap/free. Sorry to hear u lost the motor.

 

Well its been a while since it siezed and ive priced some motors and its a little out of my price range right now so i dont what im gonna do so if any body knows of some cheper motors or whatever please let me know at my email coldaim@yahoo.com the trucks kinda got sentimental value to my dad and I so it cannot be sold so if it has to sit for five years before i get a motor in it then fine
thanks for your guys' help

Theres several websights out there that you sign up to and list what your looking for and salvage yards all over the country are linked up to them and send you prices and info on what they have in stock. Many of them come with warranties.

I'll try lookin through my links and see if i can find some of them and maybe somebody else will jump in and beat me to it here.

I know a guy is always lookin to spend as little as possible but so that we know what kind of recommendations to make here, what kind of price range are you hopin for.

 

Hope this is of some help to ya.
