PSP FOR INSTALLING NEW FUEL RATIO CONTROL ON 3306 DITA TRUCK ENGINES, 1278, 1250, PS0160 U-22 A-20 AU-18 C-21 E-20 TT-2 Problem Most of the listed 3306 DITA (Direct Injection Turbocharged Aftercooled) Truck Engines are equipped with a 7N8622 Fuel Ratio Control Group. Complaints of slow acceleration in the 1350-1500 rpm range may be received. Slow acceleration can result from the fuel ration control causing too much delay in rack movement to the "full on" position. A new fuel ratio control is now used and available for parts service. The piston in the new control has no spring preload to overcome when any initial boost is received behind the piston. Thus, the piston can move instantly, resulting in quick rack movement to the "full on" position. Affected Models And Parts The following 3306 Truck Engines are included in this PSP if they have not been reworked and a complaint of "slow engine response" or "poor engine performance" is received. 3306 Truck Engine Serial Numbers Parts Needed 63Z1-63Z709 1 - 4W1037 Fuel Ratio Control Group 1 - 5D6539 Seal Action Requested (Parts Stock Action Required) No action is necessary unless an actual performance complaint is received. The purpose of this Program is to extend consistent support to users with actual performance complaints on eligible engines. The following inspection and replacement, if necessary, of the fuel ratio control should be done before doing other normal diagnostic work. If you receive a "slow engine response" complaint on one of the listed engines, check the following: 1. Is the identification "M-6" stamped on the block near the engine serial number plate? See left rear side of block. If so, the engine has been reworked and no further work is needed. 2. Check the part number of the fuel ratio control on the flat side of the control. Replace the control if the part number is "7N8622". If the engine needs a new control, proceed as follows: 1. Remove former control. 2. Remove boost line fitting from old control and install in new control. Tighten fitting to 16 +/- 2 N.m (12 +/- 1 lb ft). 3. Install new control group and the seal. Tighten two mounting bolts to 12 +/- 4 N.m (9 +/- 3 lb ft). 4. Operate the engine and check for oil leakage. 5. Check vehicle governor linkage to assure full fuel position of the governor lever with a minimum of 6 mm (0.25") breakover of the governor lever. 6. Reseal the fuel system. 7. Stamp "M-6" near the engine serial number plate. Also, remove all 7N8622 Fuel Ratio Control Groups from your parts stocks. Warranty Allowances List on the claim those new parts needed to make the repairs authorized in this Service Letter. However, if there is contingent damage to other parts because of the failure, list these parts on the same claim. No credit will be allowed for parts replaced due to normal wear or overhaul practices. Caterpillar will contribute one hour labor at your selling rate for each fuel ratio control replaced. No mileage or travel expenses will be allowed. Submit one separate claim for all former fuel ratio control groups in parts stocks. Refer to January 17, 1983 Service Letter, Illustration 2, for new PSP number format. Type this control PSP number as PS0160. Parts Disposition U.S. and Canadian dealers should return the former controls (used or from stocks) to the Pioneer Park Claims Room Attention: M. D. Wesner. Send the Factory Service Engineering Copy (black or a legible copy) of the claim with the parts. Send the blue copy to AB6D (Canadian - AB6C) noting on this copy that the parts have been sent to Pioneer Park Claims Room. All other dealers should dispose of the parts in accordance with their Warranty Bulletin, "Warranty Parts Handling". Termination Date March 31, 1984.
