Sluggish 8V92 - Oene Pomper - 11-28-2012 02:19 What did you find out? >>> "Don Bradner" The HT755 is a 5-speed, but has 6 apparent/effective gears in terms of rpm changing. When flooring mine from a stop, the gear shifts occur approximately at: 0mph 1st gear 18mph 2nd gear unlocked 27mph 2nd gear locked 36mph 3rd gear 45mph 4th gear 60mph 5th gear Upshifts occur at 2100rpm and drop to 1670rpm Don Bradner 90 PT40 "Blue Thunder" My location: http://www.bbirdmaps.com/user2.cfm?user=1 On 11/8/2012 at 9:31 PM Julian Cane wrote: >How about starting at zero mph and go slowly to 50 mph counting how times >it shifts, and watch the tach for small drops in RPM's > > > > > >________________________________ > From: Jerry >To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com >Sent: Thursday, November 8, 2012 9:14 PM >Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Re: Sluggish 8V92 > > >Ãâ >Scott, > >That is interesting that you mention the transmission....it is something I >have suspicioned because that is how it seems when starting from a stop. > >Is there any way to verify this?

He installed the new injector and it still does not fire on that cylinder. He actually is saying now that when under a load, it appears to be missing on more then just the one cylinder. Says he has to dig deeper to find out what's going on....this was a couple of days ago, haven't heard anything new since then. I'm beginning to think it may be the "DDEC II"...or something else along the electronic end.

Sluggish 8V92 - Jerry - 11-29-2012 08:35 Air and fuel filters have been ruled out....he pretty much has it narrowed down to a computer issue....the tech says he's got a used "DDEC II" that he is going to install and see if that rectifies the problem. Has there been many issues with the "DDEC II"? Just wondering if this tech is on the right track or is he just playing guessing games with me!!! He should be updating me in a few days.

There are not really any recurrring issues with the DDEC II. It is a good unit but parts are no longer available. It can however be replaced with a more current unit but requires changeout of quite a few items. I had an issue with a DDEC I that sounds similar to yours and the guys in our Detroit shop were able to do a workaround. I did get the list of parts required to update the system and while I don't remember the costs I was glad to not have to do it. Your best solution if it is not a ground or connection issue is a used ubit. I don't know if a reman is available. --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, Markus Meyer > > Just make sure the replacement is a known good one. > > Thanks, > Markus > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Jerry > Sent: 29 Nov 2012 20:35:37 GMT > To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Re: Sluggish 8V92 > > Air and fuel filters have been ruled out....he pretty much has it narrowed down to a computer issue....the tech says he's got a used "DDEC II" that he is going to install and see if that rectifies the problem. > > Has there been many issues with the "DDEC II"?

A known workable used DDEC unit was installed and the engine ran fine, so the tech is certain the DDEC is the problem. I ordered a unit from a company in MI that I located via "ebay". They are sending a DDEC programed for the 8V92, ready to install for $600.00 plus shipping, plus core. Should be here around the middle of the week. --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Mike" <mmcmahan1952@...> wrote: > > I it is know this sounds simple but many of the DDEC problems are simply bad grounds. Make sure they are good. There are not really any recurrring issues with the DDEC II. It is a good unit but parts are no longer available. It can however be replaced with a more current unit but requires changeout of quite a few items. I had an issue with a DDEC I that sounds similar to yours and the guys in our Detroit shop were able to do a workaround. I did get the list of parts required to update the system and while I don't remember the costs I was glad to not have to do it. Your best solution if it is not a ground or connection issue is a used ubit.

Sluggish 8V92 - Joe Garner - 12-02-2012 05:51 Might be better off looking into an upgrade. I know DD had kits for 1>2 and 2>3, but not sure whats involved or if its worth it. Also, at least for DDEC2 there where several versions of software. I havent been able to find out for sure, but I think the latest is .151... Does anyone know about this stuff?  It would be nice to have a DDEC manual too ;} /Joe 8v92, mechanical! On Sun, Dec 2, 2012 at 7:08 AM, Wilhelmus Schreurs <"tulipvendor50@yahoo.ca"> wrote:
