The Jakes leg and alternater leg and driver side legs are all tucked in close to the block. I am thinking about perhaps trying to find some high heat spiral wrap for added protection. The main feed, and the legs to rear I will take care with and tuck out of the way for sure.

This was the hardest part yet, getting the harness totally disco'd and out and off in one piece, everything labeled, nothing broken. Darn thing extends back to tranny AND has a lead to a 12V Battery post! Remember, when kneeling on that front fender my head is probably at least 8-9' off the...

I leveled up that Wooden tranny jack "pallet" riser and took another look at things. I may have erred it disconnecting the tranny... The more I look at this the more it looks like I can just support the FRONT of the tranny and slide engine out forward leaving tranny in place... The rear of the...

So... I didn't like the HUGE distance and the Tranny jack extended so high so I stuck a platform under it all plus some 1/4" steel plate, raising things 4" inches. I will plumb the jack level and level this platform and I think I will be the smarter for it b4 I unleash 1600? Pounds of weight...

Thank You for the Words Chap... That ole Forklift and Good Book might get me thru this... This Pic is My Hand on the Church of the Holy Sepulchre this summer, praying for us all. Got the wife Baptized in the river Jordan and I even reconfirmed myself. The MOST incredible trip EVER... The pic of...

I do not believe I need to LOWER the tranny, I just have to Disco it I think. Rear driveshaft is pulled, all air lines and umbilical disco'd, one one bolt at top left holding on Tranny. I have a 2000 pound tranny jack under it . Does anyone have any wisdom or pointers for me?

Disco radiator, rmove bottom nuts, tilt radiator forward, remove fan, THEN pull radiator. Put Lifting eyebolts thru the holes where the top "X" connects the radiator to the firewall and use eyebolts and straps to lift out radiator. So far so good, working alone and being a HC gimp (no offense...

The upper swivel JIC 1/2" hose end was NOT nice upon unscrewing so I may need to redo hoses anywho... It would also open up the radiator more to air flow.... What do I know... Dam the Torpedos...

I think I will remount the tranny cooler somewhere else. It just does not seem right to me, it is WAYYY higher then the tranny and hoses are REALLY long. I am not hauling tanks too... Perhaps under the truck and MUCH closer to the tranny would be a much better posisition for it... Radiator is...

So, Dam the torpedos, screw the crybabies that DEMAND I bring the truck to them to do this engine swap. I have been packing my tools and traveling to peoples homes for a lifetime. My disgust is massive. I will do it, I will do it alone if need be and I PRAY I don't get hurt. Dropping the...

Alas in my younger years it would be done already. I have some real issues w/ my body and bro, alls I can tell you is thank you lucky stars you can work more then 15 minutes w/o your body saying NO! I was diagnoised w/ C.I.D.P. some years ago, it is like MS. Getting dressed is a chore anymore...

OK were ready... I need help doing this engine swap. I ask for nothing for free. Does anyone in the Los Angeles area know any Heavy Mobile Mechanics? Working conditions are great... Engine is BRAND NEW...

Wes using your above info "3006637 bellhousing " if I call Cummins and give them "3006637 bellhousing " and ask for O RING is that correct or by any chance do you have the PN for the O Ring?

Thank You Wes... Looks like TB1215 has a higher temp rating than Permatex Ultra Black... TB1215 Temperature Range of -60 to 250ºC Ultra Black Continuous, C (F) -54 to 204 (-65 to 400) Intermittent, C (F) -54 to 260 (-65 to 500) TWO Q'S So use between the engine and bell housing AND...

Wes you sound like a "been there done that" kinda guy! HA! Hope your doing well Wes. So what kind of "Sealant do you suggest?"

Guys has anyone done an engine swap in an M916? Can I disco the rear driveshaft off the 7155 trans and put trans on a trans dolly and simply pull it rearwards and NOT have to lower the trans?

THANK YOU for the 411! If Will is correct and if there really is a warranty I will probably leave it as is for a while... So excited. My existing motor is a BC1, I am sure there will be a few things to tweek / adjust some plumbing. I will swap in my upgraded charging system, after that I...

Hmmm, I did not know that was a part of things... I am not sure if this link will work for you or not but here are all the pics... Please tell me what you see, much appraciated. If there is an upgrade like that and a Cummins Part # I would like to learn...

I said the same thing... But trust me, my M916 is a museum piece, in EXCELLANT shape.

I think it already has duel fuel feeds... Lemme go see. I see 2 lines back there...
