What is the difference between a DT466 and a DT466E?

It is a computer controlled engine with many advancements. The computer and accompanying harnesses are needed to operate it properly. Without the “E” simply means it’s an older engine, usually 1996 or older, and entirely mechanical in it’s operation with no electronic controls at all. Both are good.

How long does a DT466 engine last?

DT466 Engine Life Expectancy The DT466/DT466E diesel engines were given a life expectancy of 350,000 miles, but with proper maintenance, engine life could extend up to 550,000 miles. Some school bus mechanics claim to have run their DT466-equipped buses for 700,000 miles before requiring an engine rebuild.

How much oil pressure does a DT466 need?

Registered. The spec for oil pressure is 15-30 psi when running 675 to 800 rpm and high idle 45 to 65 psi.

How do I prime my international diesel truck?

Prime the fuel system by turning the ignition on (Run position) for 30 seconds, but do not start the engine. This allows the pump to prime the system. Turn the ignition off, and then crank it for 15 seconds. If it does not start, repeat the first task and this one until it starts (cycle the key).

How do you bleed the fuel line on a DT 466?

Just take the cap off as was suggested and use the blow gun in the opening. Take the fitting loose before the hand pump and get fuel there first. Then reinstall pipe and open bleed screw on top of the pump and blow in tank again.

DT466, #1 and no competition. The BEST years were 1988-1993 and 1994-2002 being second.

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.

Why does my dt466e have diagnostic trouble code 124?

Diagnostic Trouble Code 124 may be set due to an open or short to ground on the signal circuit, a defective sensor or an open V REF circuit. When code 125 is active the amber ENGINE lamp is illuminated and the odometer displays the message WARN ENG.

What is diagnostic trouble code 332 on dt466e?

Diagnostic Trouble Code 332 will be set by the ECM if the signal from the ICP sensor is higher than expected with the engine not running. If the ECM detects this fault, the ECM will ignore the ICP signal and will operate the IPR with fixed values determined from engine operating conditions.
