Trans kickdown cable adjustment, located on the injection pump throttle lever. Lube the cable well while you are there.

Thanks guys. I only know how to get spot-on alignment with the 8.3L since that is all I own. Most all 250 engine owners have each done something slightly different from one another, regarding pulleys, brackets, spacers, bolts, and tensioner. The configs are slightly different, as the 8.3L...

Vehicle / engine? If an 8.3L, how old are you batteries? The fuel cut solenoid will not hold open well as cranking voltage declines, even though starter speed stays consistent, so it is a very misleading situation and takes 2 people to see it happen. New batteries, even if group 31's, are...

I love the look of a level-wind. I bought one and added it. Then, I absolutely hated how much more difficult it made it to free-spool out the cable. When I am stuck, it is going to be in 4’ of yuck, and that is not when I want even more of a physical challenge. I then removed and sold it due...

Always OK. May be full, I’m obscenely popular. Not.

Correct on the Detroit’s. I have 2 used ones on a shelf.

Will only go faster if the engine has the power to pull it. The dual shaft Road Ranger transmissions are typically shorter than the Allison MT654CR 5 speed by a few inches, yet wider. M936 wreckers use 2 PTO's, one on the trans, a second on the transfer case, I think.....

There are 5 things that contribute to top speed: Max engine RPM Transmission top gear ratio Axle ratio Transfer case ratio Tire height (outside diameter) This is all assuming the engine has enough power to reach max governed RPM under load.

Happy to help.

I’m impatient. I yank the lower hose off the radiator when I’m doing a water flush. Would recommend a Cascade flush before you added the new coolant, but I think you are already done? How are you putting the filter in? Series or parallel with the heater core? I think it typically goes...

Correct on your #568. This is also why the civilian unit is a much superior unit. Some of the modern civilian ones can use an external remote sense, but if nothing is detected on this wire they default to the internal setpoint. The military one would instead just go full field because it...

Costs? Can hurt a little more when individuals vs a company is buying. I've kept my throttle linkage well lubed and changed the return spring config, it works perfectly, and love the poor mans cruise control as well. Heater performance can be a drag. It is a combo of a cab that seals...

Hi all. I just wanted to post a quick thread indicating that I do not have or know the civilian alternator conversion "part numbers". I do sell complete kits for the Cummins 8.3L which includes all needed. I have also politely posted the Cummins 8.3L civilian alternator bracket part number...

Where does the recommended 1800rpm limit come from for operation of the M939 PTO/hydro pump? Also I have stuck my 925a2 in 4’ of mud, and the winch pulled it out effortlessly in neutral only. I don’t see many cases of where one would have to spin the tires as well, though it may help? Have...

Solid conventional 5t axles with e-locker diffs. Wonder who made them, nice. Think if I called Rockwell they would tell me? That was a long time ago now, those people are likely retired. Best set of luck on your sale. Thanks for the info.

Looks like they run a front mount charge air cooler, Bosch P-pump, and exhaust brake. Also has the civilian spin on engine coolant filter. Engine is probably 300hp as a guess configured like that.

Fuel should likely exit anytime the pressure exceeds the overflow valve spring pressure. This is the squeak you hear when pushing the primer on a non-running engine.

I'll do mine when I get home tonight. Stay tuned.
