I know this is not a Ford, but it looks like there is ALOT of smart people on here... maybe someone can point me in the right direction.
What I have... 1999 International Bus. It is used by my brothers church group. It has 239k miles on it. They tow a small trailer with some bleachers (for a chior) and a bunch of sound equipment. The bus seems to be ok when it is empty, but once it is loaded and has the trailer on back, it won't get out of its own way.
Here are the codes that are stored (read with an OTC Genysis scanner)...
34
110
164
244
247
254
Scanner also shows 8 psi of backpressure at idle.
The scanner shows it is set a 190hp.
Problems:
The gauges sometimes do not work.
It overheats when loaded, even when on a flat road.
It was nearly impossible to start when it was cold out. It is better now that it is warmer out (I am in Michigan).
It has a new Cam Sensor.
I am an ASE technician, but I really just deal with cars. I know the diesel basics, but am definately not an expert.
A couple questions...
1. Is there a place to get International service information (DTCs, etc)
2. Is there a way to increase the power on this engine?
3. Is there a place I can get a good maintence schedule for a diesel?
4. Suggestions on what to check with the above listed codes and sympoms.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give...
