Detroit Diesels
 
Anyone know anything about the two stroke 6v-92's?? We have one that is blowing a lot of black smoke and seems to be down on power.

Have had one suggestion of a possible air intake restriction that I have not checked out yet.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

single or twin turbo?

single with less than 600 hrs. 1995 model

remove the exhaust elbow and try and spin the turbine wheel of the turbo, they had a nasty habit of rusting inside that exhaust housing outlet area and the turbine wheel sticks/stuck to the housing.... no spin means no air means mucho smoke

I run into this on a weekly basis

I should have the housings or complete turbo's in stock

Thanks for the input. A little more info from me. 1995 model 6v92 not electronically controlled with less than 600 hrs.

Will check for air restriction this weekend and go from there.
