    5" exhaust stack

    Iv seen several youtube vids on that lizard skin and saw the db meter measurements, but of course that stuff could have been manipulated. Its good to hear about it from an outside user source.

    M925A2

    I ran in to that in an old dodge company tck. Diesel exhaust smell in the cab, esp with the fan blower on. Tck shop could find a noticeable soot trail in the eng bay or under cab. My 936A2 had an exhaust smell till i replaced the rusted out muffler.

    M925A2

    EDIT: Not sure. You would have to give them the part number from the tech part manual or contact a cummins repair shop/dealer for their stocked p/n and see if napa carries it, or if the cummins shop/dealer has it in stock. I got the pump, stat and gaskets from dieselpartsdirect.com and i think...

    i was having an issue similar and i drained my system, put in probably way more vinegar than need be, but along with some CLR in the radiator, changed out the water pump (what a damn headache that was) and replaced my stat. other erroneous reading from the temp gauge, things seem to be good now

Im finding it that these young and suppose to be...

    M 932 A2 rear tire and wheel change

    I was kinda being a smarta$$ when i posted that. Just like in order to rmv the tire, rmvl of the ctis would be obvious. But on a serious not since you brought it up. I found a 1 1/8” crowsfoot to rmv the ctis valve, then slide the b-nut off the stem and use a 1 1/8” deep socket to rmv the stem...

    M936A2 boom lift cyl hose replacement

    I see what you are saying.
