Isuzu 6RB1, 6RB1T Common Problems This Manual Covers
Overheating and thermostat failure
High temperature, steam from the radiator and coolant leaks usually trace to low coolant, a clogged radiator or a faulty thermostat. The cooling system section covers the water pump and thermostat, which opens at 80 to 84 degrees C.
Manual Section: Cooling System p. 151Injector and fuel filter contamination
Clogged fuel filters or dirty injectors cause rough running, power loss and black smoke on the 6RB1 and 6RB1T. The fuel system section covers the fuel filter, injection nozzle and injection pump calibration data.
Manual Section: Fuel System p. 159Hard starting
Worn injectors, weak pump delivery or low compression leave the engine cranking without firing. The troubleshooting section works through hard starting and unstable low idling to isolate the cause.
Manual Section: Troubleshooting p. 209White smoke and blow-by on the 6RB1
White smoke with poor acceleration and high fuel use has been documented on the 6RB1 and points to worn cylinders, rings or valves. The inspection and repair section measures the cylinder head, valves and valve seats against limits.
Manual Section: Engine Assembly II (Inspection & Repair) p. 59Engine vibration from imbalance
Vibration on a diesel this size often comes from misaligned components, bad mounts or an imbalanced flywheel, and left unchecked it can cause mechanical failure. The reassembly section covers flywheel and connecting rod assembly, with the crankshaft pulley nut torqued to 80.0 kg-m.
Manual Section: Engine Assembly III (Reassembly) p. 103Turbocharger wear on the 6RB1T
On the turbocharged 6RB1T, worn bearings or excessive rotor shaft play show up as smoke, whine or lost boost. The turbocharger section covers identification and rotor shaft play inspection.
Manual Section: Turbocharger p. 171Frequently Asked Questions
