Guys does anyone have any input on this;
As you know I need an engine. I ran into a Big Cam 4* that looks very promising.
As I understand it, the BC4 is a low flow engine. I have a BC1. So I would have to
do a radiator swap as well.
Misc plumbing and wiring is not an issue.
Yes?
No...
Where can I read of the relay mod? Its been a while, I forget what I did except I took the advice of NOT dimming the dash lights, ever, I do not fully close the hinged panel so in a second I can look at things. I have a good guess of 80 hours running at night w/o seeing an issue. Regarding the...
These trucks w/ a BC1 engine have a Luber-Finer #750C oil filter on the firewall. I removed mine to flush it fore I found bearing debris in the bottom. There is a radiator type drain cock on the bottom I never knew about ! I want to delete the OE cheesy drain cock and replace with one that has a...
For arguments sake I will call the 2 cranks Tapered Nose and Square Nose.
Confused again... If you go to Cummins QuickServe and click on PARTS
and enter my SN = 10770115, it says my crank is a #3000140 . Not
that I trust Ebayers but I look for that on Ebay and see pics of a
crank that is...
I just received a PM from a SS member RE 7155 weight;
"From a 1977 Cat 7155 operation manual, the stated weight (dry) is 1130 lbs.
Be sure to drain the flywheel housing or you will get a dumping of oil when it separates!"
THANK YOU! ( and it is way ok to post in this thread sir! )
CAT 7155 Umbilical Gasket CAD
On a side note, I ran into a part I had squirreled away, that
being the Umbilical gasket for the Ratio Selector to tranny
Umbilical hose. The hose is impossible to find new.
A friend of mine has a FARO ARM and he reverse engineered
the gasket into digital CAD...
I read all the above, thank you all. I am chewing on it all
and will address as I reach those points. I think I found a crank
from a good friend for a song.
Right now I am pulling the tranny, THAT in-and-of-itself is
a big job, doing it alone... I am down to bellhousing bolts and
the rear...
I didn't think of standing it on end, now I have something to chew on.
Thank U NDT!
The TM sorta says; to torque rod caps you go to 75, then 150, then LOOSEN
then 30 then 75, then 150. Yep I bet he forgot the final 150 or skipped loosening or sumthang...
When I pull caps I will set to 85+ or...
Guys can anyone tell me or link me to where I can study
the oil system for a Cummins Big Cam 1? Specifically I
want to know the exact path that oil flows throughout
the entire system. I bet ya there is an illustration
someplace, I can't seem to locate it.
Pulled the pan today, 3rd cylinder from rear, spun connecting rod bearing.
One of the rod cap bolts was a LOT looser than the other. Crank is toast.
I get to rebuild or buy anew.
If anyone knows anyone w/ a new NTC400855 in crate please let me know.
16R21 Super Single Wheels/Tires
On a side note, in looking for another truck (yes I am considering it and all options)
I ran into an M916 for sale and the owner states in the advertisement
that 16R21 Super Single Wheels/Tires bolt on w/o having to grind on things.
If anyone can shed any light...
Thank U QF...
BTW, Stemco got back to me and they told me the PN
for that axle is oil hub cap #343-4009 if anyone else runs
into this.
I appreciate the help guys.
Looks like the parts I need, give me a little time to pump out
this cliff hanger job I am remodeling in Laguna beach and
we will make good.
THANK YOU Doghead! Oh man I so hope this is what I need.
No time to verify but looks good, YOU DA MAN DH!
Where do I start, well, I did not post this up cause I am lazy, I am truly stumped.
Gimp I found AxleInc, I tried calling early this AM and both numbers have no answering machine.
Simp I seek the outer clear oil lens deals with the plugs.
The clear lens's that show oil level.
Here is a...
Gents I have a Zeiman 20' Tilt Deck trailer that has 2- 10 Lug axles.
I assume the axles are made by Hayes (possibly a defunct company) .
Here is a picture of the ID label on the rearmost axle. I assume
each axle is rated at 23K EACH.
My question is am I hosed or can I get parts for these...
M916 Wounded Recovery
So where does my truck get it's Purple Heart medal!
It WAS on a mission! :-)
I can not tell you guys how much I am so appreciative of the support
Will Wagner and Daniel gave me. Daniel and Rigo were
instrumental in this recovery. I was / am soooo appreciative, I did...
Right now Will says #4 cylinder is cold.
He pulled one rocker cover, no real evidence.
Tomorrow we open oil filter to examine what it holds.
Praying for simple fix.
Truck is home in backyard, that was a HUGE effort just to get that done.
