My truck hates me.
My truck has a pretty notable miss all the way through the rpms. It starts hard and has pretty good white smoke. I keep thinking it’s timing but here’s the list of mods
99 dodge 3500 Stage 4 Farrel 215 Weston 6x13 vco Fass 150 Colt stg 4 cam 078 lines 120 cross overs Eat soot timing gear. 63 sxe over s475 I originally bought truck with a cracked block. I replaced with a 55 new rings bearings and had the block checked. The injectors pop off were out of wack and had Weston freshen them up at that time it had a 7x11 Truck ran decent but I always thought it had a miss at low rpm at hazed pretty good. Also hard starting. Well it seemed to get worse last fall. At this time I’ve drove it about 6k miles. So I checked the timing which is keyed right on 20. I went through cracking lines loose and I found #1 to be the problem. Switched it to #3 and it seemed to follow it. So I sent the injectors back to Weston to have him check them everything seemed fine. Well I found my secondary housing cracked so I decided to upgrade to a 6x13 and a 63sxe. The original conversion was done at 130k by a good friend. At 141k I bought it with a cracked 53 It’s currently at 149k with 100 miles on the injectors. I’ve went over valve lash and timing 3 times. Everything seems good. I bumped the timing to 24 with no real difference. Shutdown key is in and working probably. I’ve tightened the ofv up from 40 psi idling all the way to 55 psi. The truck has heavy white smoke and an almost pop out the exhaust if you hold the brake and spool it. Definitely miss and shake all the way through the rpms. Also it gets hot quick 900 cruising and get into it makes 80 psi and pegs the 1600 with hardly any black smoke till the upper end. Really seems like timing to but I’d think if I was close it wouldn’t be terrible like this. Just really seems like fuel but from internal pump work I think I’ve covered everything pretty well. Thanks for any input |
Truck running cracking number 5 and the truck does not change tune. Pulled and inspected the DV. Nothing notable or obvious on that either.

Scribe that barrel for reference and turn it to add some fuel, if it doesn't change, turn it back.

Number 5 compared to number 1 only thing I’ve found
|
Little shorter ?
|
Springs are the same just the end piece is scared up on #5 compared to the others I’ve pulled
|
What does it do if you free rev it to like 3500 rpm in neutral?
|
Did you flip the spring and seat in the Dv holder just to show us or did you pull it from the pump that way? If it came out that way Flip the spring and seat.
Also put a known good set of DV’s in your pump, I had a Dv crack once. It was not visible to the naked eye, but under pressure inside the pump the crack would open up slightly and cause a miss. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Check washer/gasket under delivery valve

He said no compression on that hole last night about 10 o'clock via text. Dude has some crap luck.
|
Yup I got no compression on 5. Hoping it’s just a gasket but might have washed the cylinder. This trucks forever home is bay 3 in the shop lol. Going to bore scope it tonight and see how the cylinder is and hopefully have the head off this weekend and go from there.

Seems to have some minor cracking in the head
|
Ouch. That same thing cause a really freaking annoying tick tick tick tick on my 12v.
|
It honestly didn’t have any noticeable top end noise. Hell it didn’t run too bad either for only using 5 lol. Luckily good friend of mine had an 0ring and ported head laying around. Headed to machine shop this week and hopefully get this truck all figured out!
