New injection pump?
Have a F700 with a 5.9 Cummings in it. It has a hard time starting and it sounds like it can't catch itself when it is pushed. We run Jet A as our #1 fuel and stove oil up here in Alaska, it is very dry verses regular #1. It also has a hard time warming up even though the radiator is competley block off. It barely gets to 150'f when it is worked hard in low gears. The company mechanic says its not but two of us agree the pump is worn. What do any of you think? Thxs.

Unless its a low miler why not remove the injectors and have them tested and while they are out have the compression tested. If this motor has an inline Bosch pump its less likely its the problem, if its a rotary then the pump becomes a much more likely source of a problem IMO.

Regluar stove oil here in bush alaska will freeze to a cosistantsy of jello.
That is why we have Jet A as our stove oil and #1 fuel oil for trucks.
Plus the main guy that drives this truck starts it with staring fluid .
He has been told not to so !!!! We add power sevice to the fuel to try add lube.
Is it ok to add two stroke oil to the fuel? Thx.

This is sounding like a major problem with engine and fuel combo. Is everyone in your area using this fuel combo in your very cold climate??

Yes this is the only fuel that will run in equipment in this area in the winter.
In the summer we run regular #2 dsl but it is only good too 35 F up here due to the wax. The mechanic does not want to work on trucks. The thermostat has been tested 4 times nothing wrong with it.
