This was one of the last time I used this machine, I pulled it into the shop to address why it wasn't running right. I had the injectors rebuilt and also found two bad lifters... I sold it and the new owner found and repaired a cracked head, blown head gasket as well as the two bad lifters. It is running and working again around Atoka, OK.
We actually have an old TD-20E in out back lot. Ours sounds about like that one with a fluttering miss. Those big V-8 were kinda wishy washy. So a lot of them were repowered with the 8.3 liter Cummins, which were more reliable.

shame about the engine.. glad it was able to be fixed..
Nothing like the sound of a v8 diesel.
The new owner said it took a while to track down the parts, but it is running great now! And yes, the sound is great!
She almost sounds like she’s missing and down on power...definitely some engine issues going on there...
