Anything is doable with the right amount of determination, know-how, and deep pockets. The challenges with either motor will be the plethora of electronics & sensors.

I've been following your build thread; I may revisit it on mine later this year. Thanks! [thumbzup]

As far as I know, STOCK. I haven't touched timing at all.

As Ford Mechanic pointed out, the upper manifold bolts are a real monster to get out in one piece. When I picked up my M931A2, it only had 800 miles on the odometer; yet my exhaust manifold & its bolts looked worse than Ford Mechanic's pic above (have put around 11K miles on it since in past 3...

Compounded by the fact that one tank had the fuel pickup tube lose the solder joint and fall off into the tank, and a faulty tank selector valve....that was an interesting trip!

FINALLY finished replacing my exhaust manifold gaskets. The stock design leaves a lot to be desired, it's some sort of fiber composite stuff. The photo below shows the difference between stock and current Cummins replacements. Found the gaskets on #1 & #2 cylinders failed. It was a LOT of...

And my post above is in no way a knock against neverenufhp; he is very knowledgeable and helpful, and helped me via PMs several times. In my truck's case, the stock IP settings were perfect, it just needed more air. Every truck is different, as we know, and others' uses are different from...

My proverbial two cents' worth, here goes. When this thread really got going, I turned up fuel on my 8.3 (M931A2, 14.00R20 tires) using all the recommendations from neverenufhp, and installed 4K GSK. I adjusted the fuel rates several different times, and while I got puffs of black smoke...

My fellow club members are working on transporting 3 of them; I've donated parts & supplies for the impending transports. Eventually plans are for a museum, but for the time being they'll be stored on a member's property and 1 or 2 will be used in parades & shows around Las Vegas.

She doesn't seem that bad to me... Not as much fun as Rover, who plays "fetch."

Or collect the condensation and run it through a charcoal filter; now you've got a built-in water supply! :mrgreen:

What exactly are you talking about here, or trying to get at? Why do you keep throwing around the CDL terms, when several posts (on Page 1 of this thread) specifically address NON-COMMERCIAL driver's licenses? Why do you keep posting so-called examples from the state of Washington when we're...

This time of year, I ALWAYS get random leaks on my MVs, and those that I've overhauled for customers get returned around this same time of year for random leaks also. When springtime hits, and the weather warms up, the leaks generally tend to disappear until next January. Cold spells have been...

Nevada law is quite well-defined and quite specific. Several posters have already outlined this earlier in this thread. Nevada makes definite distinctions between commercial & non-commercial driver's licenses; again, this is pointed out clearly earlier in this same thread on Page 1. If the...

I can give you a definite answer. What does the data plate for your M813A1 state as the GVWR? If over 26K, please refer to Tom's post above.

The real thanks belong to you James: struggling with heavy tires while still recovering from horrendous car wreck injuries. I can't thank you enough! Folks like you are what makes this place & hobby great! Thank you again!

Care to share???? :mrgreen:

First time entry, what the heck... M931A2 & D4-5T (homemade equipment trailer)

I ran all mine up to a central port near the air filter, then capped it with a small fuel filter to keep dust/particulates out. I thought about terminating the vent hoses in the truck's air filter housing, but then I became worried about creating a vacuum inside the axle housing.... So far, so...
