I had the engine on my D6H overhauled after 16K hours but???
Too back up a little it was starting to get low on power,slow to rev up and smoked a lot more.First thought was turbo getting bad.With excess oil use, leaks,hours and the other problems decided to do the complete overhaul.
The Cat dealer did an out of frame overhaul.Complete rebuild from top to bottom.Most everything was new or rebuilt to spec.New turbo, fuel pump complete rebuild.Was run on dino!
After getting it up and running everything was good except the power! It has been weak every since and still blows excess smoke.I complained ,but they said just needed broke in.
The rpm is great, just when you start to push half way into the blade full of dirt engine starts lugging down.
Haz of smoke from stack without load and the same with load.Same problem as before so?????
I was reading about the left pump on the backhoe thread ,could it be that? Also talked to my Cat mechanic and mention bad(new reman turbo).His response was it either works or it fails? I asked to check boast,but never got around to it.
Would like some suggestions where to start looking?:usa
