    33si alternator installation question

    Cummins part number for the bracket is 3929418. Locally they are going for about 120, on ebay I found them for half that but they are gone as of right now. I think I might fab one based on the cummins part so I can replicate them whenever needed. Trucks with new alternators are doing great...

    M925A2 snow plow install

    No binding issues at all, not even wear marks on the axles after running for 3 plow seasons. The suspension when it is compressed moves back slightly due the motion of the shackles. The plow mount pivots in an arch due to the way it is pinned to the front bumper. We used a skid steer to push...

    M925A2 snow plow install

    You could do like I have on mine, I use dump trailer motors, power up gravity down, cheap and easy. Going on 3 seasons of VDOT plowing with not 1 issue. Here is my latest mount for ideas, and one on a Stewart Stevenson as well.

    Assistance with Fort Bragg pickup

    Well I won a Stewart Stevenson m1083 (Running truck) a couple weeks ago and I have repeatedly had problems that have prevented me from getting down there to pick it up. Is there anyone locally that I can pay to pull it off base and store it for a couple weeks? I planned on tomorrow night but...

    Can Bad pcb cause no charge from the alternator??

    Thanks for the reply. Looking at the tm you can trace the wiring on the charge circuit and see it. I replaced my run solenoid and all is good now. Man it is a pain to work in that little box....

    Removed the head today.... melted no 5 piston, bent exhaust valve and broke the rocker arm retainer. Liner is shot in number 5 and rough in one and three. I'm having the head checked for cracks and make sure it is not warped. 2 injectors were hard to get out and I think number 5 injector has...

    In frame Cummins 8.3 rebuild, Anyone here done it??

    Ok, I am moving the truck inside today and pull the head to see what damage was done. The truck runs with a miss. Number 5 cylinder is gone, looks like raw fuel coming out of it and when you crack the injector it makes no difference in how the motor runs. Number 1 cylinder also showed very...

    I have a motor overheat and loose a cylinder (still diagnosing) and It seems doing an in-frame rebuild is what I am leaning towards. Has anyone here done this? Just looking for pointers advice etc. Thanks Steve
