2002 8BTD diesel...on a trip, gen runs fine during my 9 hour journey. At anchor will only run with preheat on. Will this do any damage to run w it on?. i have oil pressure, new pump impeller, all the gages are fine (temp at 170, oil pressure at 75psi, 12 volt mtr is off the scale (when off its at 14 volts), exhaust water manifold temp maybe 120 or so). Anyway, at anchor on my annual trip to Block Island RI and Martha's Vineyard and no gen. Life is not good.
It just shut down after running with preheat on and nothing at switch, no clunk, like it has no power at all. Checked the temp switch on the antifreeze size, check the two oil switches (one is normally closed and one is normally open)...both work fine. Without a gen, it tough to be on anchor. Slip rates are crazy here....8.50/ft ($357 per day plus $40 for electric). Need to figure this out!
I have not found the intake water temp sensor or exhaust temp sensor. Any suggestions on where to start...? Not a good start to vacation.
Thanks....
