Subject: Re: Jeep Liberty diesel turbo died,,, lesson learned


WC MN		After an OH or any turbo work ALWAYS have a way to starve the air. I learned the hard way after we fired up a D436 in a 986 a few years back that had been sitting for 9 years. Governor was stuck WOT and seized a piston to the sleeve subsequently putting a bunch of water in the pan ASAP. IT was still running and I had to cut the fuel by turning the valve on the fuel line. They will run for a few seconds by starving the pump (not a good idea either but what do you do?). I didn't know any better and that was an expensive lesson. She needed a major anyways but it could have been worse, like a rod through the block worse.. Youtube Detroit run aways and you get a few minutes of entertainment. There was one on there with an IH that ran away pulling in a tractor pull and the flywheel let loose splitting the tractor in half. WOW!
