It's in the bin. The combine ran like a champ after I had the charge pump and injection pump replaced. It was a mechanic from a truck repair place that really helped me out. They pay a subscription to Cummins for software. What he needed was the numbers from the engine and injection pump to match the proper software. I would think your Gleaner man could do the same thing. The mechanics laptop indicated the front solonoid was bad. His advice was to replace the charge pump and injection pump. That was a hard pill to swallow but he has had a lot of experience with that engine and has seen a lot of people try to get by on the cheap that were not happy with the results and back in the shop in a short time. I am convinced he saved me money compared to Cummins on parts and labor. Now your problem may be different since after you replaced the charge pump and it ran OK for a couple days. There are a few discussions on other boards that have to do with similar problems in Gleaners. There was one that the fuel supply line had collapsed internally. Other posts mention screens in tanks that were plugged with plastic shavings. Feel free to contact me at jbks02atgmail if you would like the name of my mechanic or any other info.
