Death of a D-max-not pretty or cheap

From a diesel site I visit:

stock D-max, 230 000 km (143 700 mile) They think an injector went and then it when to hell from there in 15 minutes!!





The turbo sucked up debris so it is cheaper to go find a complete engine rather than repair this one. Words of advise, if it starts running "funny", STOP!!!!!! This could happen to any diesel engine.

HUH?? Enlighten me because I have an '05.:h


He's referring to some issues that popped up with Cummins ISL "400" engines.

Completely unrelated to your 05 ISB.


the point was nothing is perfect and problems happen to the best of products.

Agree with that 200%.

That's why I'm not brand loyal; IMO no one's produced the perfect* truck yet.

(My definition of perfect is basically 10yr/250k miles of maintenance only/zero repairs)

Very well could have been an injector, if the injector comes apart the pieces will take out the valves, piston and cylinder wall right?.

Complete Diesel replacement would be a lot of money OEM. I would just buy an engine with some miles from a salvage yard, there's thousands to choose from.

because it's very common to see an engine failure after 100k in a modern diesel. :R

Glad it wasn't you OP but I agree, your photo is a dropped valve IMO.
But I do find the 6.7 PSD listed above interesting also. Guess they went from the 8 hole in the 6.4 to the 6 hole in the 6.7's :W Maybe they will work they're way back to the "zero" hole soon....
Bunch of ugly photos at any rate.
