Why does my dt466e have no oil pressure?

Pulled the tube and checked it. It was fine. Pulled the engine oil pump (on crank) and it looks worn. Light grooving and some wear on the gear lobes in the pump. Leaning towards that being it. With it not filling the front cover i don’t think it’s the pressure Reg but i could be wrong.

Where is the ferry plug on a DT466?

A DT466 high pressure oil pump leak is one of the most common issues found on these International engines. While there are a few reasons a high pressure oil pump (HPOP) could leak oil, the most common issue is it to leak past the threads and O ring on the ferry plug, found on the back of the HPOP facing the engine block.

Can a HPOP be used on a DT466?

This article applies to all DT466 engines equipped with a HPOP, however specifics such as wrench or socket size could be different from engine to engine. The engine this article is based off of was found in a 2000 International 4700 DT466E. For other International specific guides, visit the International category page.

What kind of oil pump does DT 466 engine use?

This video is all about a repair our shop did on a DT466E International diesel engine. It would not start and we finally found the engine oil pump to be weak along with a scored oil pressure regulator. The engine oil pump feeds the ‘high pressure oil pump’ that runs the HEUI system.

How many horsepower does a DT466E have?

300 hp
The most modern version of this iconic engine is the MaxxForce DT466E. Making 300 hp at 2,200 rpm and 860 lb-ft of torque at 1,300 rpm, the engines have long been a favorite of medium-duty fleet operators and short-haul truckers.

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?

The roots of the original DT466 can be traced back to the late 70’s, when a 466 cubic inch diesel was situated in International Harvester’s S-Series truck platform….DT466 (MaxxForce DT) Specs.

Manufacturer: International Navistar (formerly International Harvester)
B50 Engine Life: 550,000 miles

How much oil does a 2000 DT466 hold?

Fill engine with 28 quarts of engine oil with oil fill funnel and reinstall oil fill cap.

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?

Code 152 (BAP signal out of range low). 354 (VGT control under duty cycle) and Body Controller – Remote Engine Speed Control #1 – Analog input #2 shorted to ground. Already replace BAP sensor, MAP sensor and VGT turbo. Already check of short to ground on all wiring connected to BAP and MAP sensors.

Why is the dt466e International diesel no more?

The DT466E International diesel is no more mainly because it could not meet emission standards. It’s one engine that performed only as good as the oil pressure that supplied the HEUI (hydraulic electronic unit injectors).

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.
