Hey guys we were changin the oil in a dump truck which is an international 4200 with a powerstroke 6.0 at school today (i didnt change the oil a friend did) and i went to start it and it threw a red engine light and the screen said oil/water. the oil pressure is around 63 which seems fine to me. No oil leaks that we could see but we ran out of time. any ideas?

thanks,
Erik

 

not to sure but can u pull the codes on the guage cluster like some of the newer internationals?? was the light on before you changed the oil??

 

nope i drove it in and there were no lights. my teacher said somethin about the cruise control button and some light codes on the dash

 

yea turn the key to the on position parking brake on, hold the cruise on and the resume at the same time... then the codes will pop up... read the codes then find the manual and the manual will tell you wat the problem is... then to clear the codes turn ur left blinker on... then hold the cruise on and cruise set at the same time... and the parking brake has to be on again... sounds retarded but its actually the same thing as the MRAPS that international builds...

 

wow i wish my truck had this. i fired it up twice today and the engine light never came back on. did fuel filter and pre filter then fired up. still no light so i got no idea what it was

 

if it only came on once then it prolly came on wen u first fired it up and it had no oil up top wich is my guess... other than that i dunno.. but the codes are nice... it shows the code u look it up and it says either exactly wat to change or it gives u choices then you troubleshoot... the new allisons we got does the same thing

 

ya man it was weird. i wonder if somebody could write a program on our computers to do something like this. that'd be worth a buck or two

 

yea its a pretty kool thing but adds a **** ton of wires and relays and sensors... its wired into everything and ur guages have to be compatible also...

 

Thats exactly what happens at work with every international on the lot. If it sees no oil pressure for more than 5 sec it throws the light and alarm on. It will also throw the code " lubricant pressure below desired level". Not a problem unless it doesn't ever build any pressure.

 

I guess its better they beep at ya than not tell ya at all
