What temp should a DT466 run?

The engine should run all day at about 190 deg. If the engine temp rises then the cooling fan should come on around 210 deg. If the gauge goes to 210 deg and then does not cool down then most likely you have poor cooling in the radiator and the fan hub is not engaging the fan due to lack of heat.

What kind of engine is a dt466e?

Why is my DT 466E engine not working?

The bus in question was a 1998 International conventional with a DT 466E diesel engine. It was the middle of winter so the cold temperature was a contributing factor with the “no start” situation. We went out to have a look and could not get it going so the next step was to tow it in and have a closer look.

Why does my dt466e take so long to start?

The high psi oil system, in a dt466e you have high psi oil that fires the injectors, and sometimes the pump can actually bleed down overnight causing it to take forever to start, the only way to check that will be let it sit overnight and there is a temp sensor in the front cover/ drivers side . it is right in front of the oil/fuel pump.

What should fuel psi be on dt466e International diesel?

Usually when we get no start cold but fires and runs after using ether it might be injectors, but you need to do the fuel checks I posted and let me know. If you don’t have a fuel psi gauge, autozone loans them out. I like to have around 60psi I have seen them run ok above 45psi.

What is code 152 on DT 466E diesel engine?

What causes an oil leak in a 2000 dt466e?

Possible causes in order of likelihood: leak in the oil manifold, leak in the oil side of the injectors, blocked or faulty high pressure oil regulator, failing high pressure oil pump, starvation of high pressure pump. A good IH shop should be able to check the oil pressure while running. That should narrow it down. Click to expand…

Why does my DT 466E engine have low oil pressure?

If the injection control pressure is low it may be the injector o-rings, a defect in the injector itself (poppet valve) or worn out pump. The symptoms of a low oil pressure to the injectors will be low power especially when hot, high fuel and oil consumption and blue exhaust smoke especially on start up.
