Are there any problems with the VT365 engine?
We are always experiencing problems like: injectors, egr coolers, egr valves, ipr failures, rocker arm problems, pushrod problems, etc. We definitely stay busy around the shop with these fabulous engines. This is the second time in 2 months we have had a pushrod bend in the same bus.
When did the VT365 6.0L international lose power?
2004 International 4200 VT365 6.0L 6 Speed Manual 24′ Box Truck. Thursday evening, February 24, I was delivering a load of parts from Oklahoma City to Amarillo. The engine light came on, and it started progressively losing power.
Why does my VT365 start cold but not hot?
The fact that it starts COLD but not Warm or Hot is THE CLUE that there is an ICP leak or control fault. This potential leakage is EASILY detected by applying shop air to the system and verifying correct voltage to the IPR valve under load. But, special tools are needed to do these test well and quickly, tools I bet they do not have or know about.
How many gallons of oil does a VT365 take?
It can be even worse for the engine in the Ford applications as that gallon of used oil only gets diluted with 3 3/4 gallons of fresh oil during a change as opposed to the 4 3/4 gallons in the VT365. This page was generated in 0.16 seconds.

What causes the pushrod on a VT365 to bend?
Seen it happen more than once on other engines. They all have Allison autos. The rocker arms have clips on them that break off and the ball of the pushrod starts to bounce around and wear unevenly and I guess eventually it catches the edge of the rocker arm and bends. We are having tons of issues with these engines.
