I just bought a truck with a 3306 engine and it has low getup power with a load. Engine starts and runs great on these cold days, it does white smoke when its cold, but it clears up when warm. I might be looking for a fuel injection pump for a 3306, they are telling me, mine might be worn excessively causing low power. I was hoping to find someone with a bad engine and get the pump off of it.They are checking other things as we speak. I only have 5-10 lbs of boost pressure
aneriold disc has been changed, but it was OK
air cooler system pressure checked OK
Turbo appears to be OK
new filters, 45-50 psi fuel pressure
Ive got the mechanics scratching their butts so far
I usually have a lot to offer on these problems, but its got me stumped also
The engine doesnt smoke at all when warmed up and without a load it runs OK for a 3306. I have another truck with the same setup and it will run circles around this one when loaded. One other thing and it may not be nothing, it just seems like it takes longer for the engine to decelerate, when changing gears and the engine was painted when I got it and the exhaust manifold is a pink color, not the normal rust color. Im wondering if the engine exhaust is getting too hot, or not hot enough? It wasnt painted pink, its just the color now
