5.9 cummings 12v question
guys
I have a 96 5.9 12 valve in a ferd work truck. Truck has sat since beginning of 2020 but ran and drove great when I set it up. It had been started and drove around the yard at least once a month since. I needed it the other day on a job a couple miles from the shop so I fired it up and away we went. Engine idles fine and revs up fine with no load but going thru the gears seems to lose all power and the most I could get out of it was about 25 mph which was still a struggle. Never once tried to shut off just has no power. Drove it back to the shop with same conditions happening. Any ideas what I should be looking for? would the fuel be going bad? Going over it smoked black smoke like crazy coming back was not as bad but you could definitely smell the raw fuel. Thanks Richard |

How are the fuel filters? That would be the first place I would look. Also the water separator if it has one.

I just got a new fuel filter for it today and am going to try to get that changed out this week.

Check the air filter sounds like it is choking the engine. Fuel filter is probably fine if it was smoking hard and down on power it has fuel but not air.

Did the fuel filter fix your problem? If not verify your fuel shut off solenoid is pulling the lever all the way up. If not you may not be getting full fueling.

One thing that I am not sure if related, but the pedal will no longer return to idle on its own and I had to use my foot under the pedal to lift it back up. I put an external set of springs on the engine side to help bring it back to idle for now. It is just a yard truck so to speak at this point. Since I am not very familiar with the diesels I will grab a picture of what I did to see if you think that might have been my issue as well |
