I have a 79 RTS that was refurb'd for Hertz by Blitz in 1990. To the best of my knowledge, the major change was to a DDEC 6V92. When I start up in the...

Jim, you're slowly killing your engine. You shouldn't switch to high idle until the engine has had time to warm up a little. I was at a meeting in Canada two...
Something I was taught in the fire department about running and fast idle etc..... After running the motor, you should let run at slow idle for 2 - 5 minutes...
I have a 1985 rts2 and when I put push the shift buttons forward or reverse the motor stalls out, It acts like the torque converter is locked. Is there...
Good subject to review, Jeff. On my bus with the mechanical governor on the engine the fast idle will not work until the air pressure is up all the way in all...
Hi, Byron The torque converter is attached to the flywheel so it spins with the engine. What your problem could be is that it is trying to go in reverse and...
Hey Geoff, Why do DD 2-strokes have such low oil pressure at idle? Do they run loose clearances on the bearings for pumping a large volume of oil at higher...
all detroit diesels have high volume pumps in them you would be surprised at how much oil they pump at idle if you check the oil by the dip stick there is a...
The oil pump is a gear pump, and when you are idling you just aren't pumping as much oil so the pressure is low. There are no loose clearances on the...
Did anybody install one of these?? or is in the process of doing so? Ths Guy had a web sight about it and it was mentioned a few months ago and then I didn't...
I remember that, and since then I have learned that the process is not new, and the parts come off an overdrive VS-2 transmission (it was used in buses before...
Hi All IIRC the kit is for an 8v71 only - To do something similar on the 6v92 - you need to move the engine 4" nearer the radiator. Pete RTS/Daytona...
... Fast circulation can result in poorer cooling. The coolant has to spend some time in the radiator or the heat cannot exchange with the outside air. For...
I took a hard look at the overdrive and made the decision that it was a very involved project just to gain what I could get with a ring and pinion change. I...
Grant, from what you told me, using your GPS to clock you...... Is a drag chute and wheelie casters next? When you get that motor programmed to 350 hp, maybe a...
