7-10

Alternator:

3.0 LITRE

There have been three reports of burned/melted alternator RED wires. This

can be caused by the wire being routed incorrectly and chaffing through and

shorting to ground, or the battery cables have been reversed. If the cables

have been reversed the RED wire will be burned/melted the full length of the

wire. If wire is shorted, it will be burned/melted between the short and

connection to the starter solenoid.

Alternator Belt:

2.5 LITRE

When the rubber mounted alternator bracket is installed as per Service

Bulletin 98-8, the belt tensioner pulley may hit the flywheel. If the belt was at

the short end of the tolerance is when this is likely to occur. Install new

alternator belt P/N 828507--4, which is .400 longer and will provide proper

clearance.

Salt In Compressor Inlet

3.0 LITRE

In salt-water areas, if the cooling system is not flushed regularly, salt could

build-up in some of the smaller water hose fittings.

On the 3.0 Litre the salt builds up in the inlet water fitting on the air

compressor head, due to the extra heat in this area.

Direct Injector Stuck:

2.5 & 3.0 LITRE

When a direct injector sticks the corresponding fuel injector will continue to

function. This will cause excess fuel to accumulate in the air side of that rail,

affecting the fuel calibration of those cylinders. Example: If the number 1 direct

injector stuck closed, the number 3 & 5 cylinder will run rich. This will result in

a loss of engine RPM or power greater than expected with the loss of one

cylinder. If a Direct injector is mechanically stuck closed, it will not show as an

electrical fault on the DDT.
