This is a fantastic piece of diagnostic gear. Everyone is responsible for serving the number six. One should be owned by every 0l engine.
This is a fantastic tool.
NICE TOOL THAT IS VERY USEFUL.
So, just to be clear, the other reviewer is either A a spammer or B not a professional. It takes 20 minutes to get access to the IPR, which is nothing in the professional world if you're looking for a diagnostic smoking gun. It will save you a lot of money because, if used correctly, it will prevent the need for injector replacement. When dealing with high pressure oil leaks on a 6, seal replacement should always be done. In any case, it's 0L. In any case, here's a list of reasons why IPR air testing is superior to ICP air testing.
- Because the IPR cannot be commanded to 100% close it will always have a light air hiss like when testing through the ICP port which can lead to misdiagnosis.
- Without causing damage, the IPR cannot be commanded to 85% for more than 2 minutes.
- If the ICP sensor is left connected, it can be monitored with a scan tool to see how quickly the air pressure falls.
- Because of its central location, testing through the IPR allows you to isolate the problem by blocking each oil rail. br>br>There are some uses for the ICP port, but they are limited to very detailed diagnostics on injector oil returns using UV dye. My point is that if you're a diesel mechanic who works on a lot of 6 cylinder engines, you should invest in this tool. You will not be disappointed if you choose the 0's.
Nick is a complete moron. When the ipr is commanded to close at 100%, it will only close at 80%. All of the pressure is channeled through the HP side of this adapter. will not be circumvented That's not possible with the icp. 03- The icp is next to the ipr in number 5, not on the head as in number 4. 5 and up. Nick, you need to brush up on your engines before you start talking. & This is not my property; I created it.
I was able to find leaks before assembling the rest of the motor, which saved me a lot of time and money.
For a variety of reasons, this is an ineffective tool. To begin with, it would be much easier to insert a tool into the ICP rather than the IPR because the ICP is out in the open, whereas the IPR is hidden in the back of the engine and requires a great deal of effort to access. Next, this is a test, not a fix, so don't expect to save hundreds of dollars. It is used to inspect the high-pressure oil system for air leaks. All it does is point you in the right direction so you can find the source of the leak (injectors, standalone pipes, pump, and so on). To summarize, this is not the tool to buy; you can get the same test results by purchasing an adaptor to screw into the ICP (where you will need to command the IPR duty cycle). But, even with all of that, if you can't do any of the very intensive work with the answers you find, the diagnostic work was pointless to begin with. Just something to ponder.
