the c series is longer and taller than a b, it will make a bit more torque, and is a wet sleeved engine not a bored cylinder like the b series and 3116 cat. the cat is a 7 liter engine and the c series engine is 8 liters. the c series should be about the same size as the cat but a b will be much...
Bolting the cummins up is easy, the next variable is is it a mechanical or electronic c series. the fun comes with hooking up accessorys like air compressor and power steering pumps. You will also want the sae bell housing with mounting feet on it. Also are you planning a 12 volt conversion...
you can also get an rpm signal for the cummins to. I work on both engines and also deere on occasions, I don't see much difference in the price of parts in any of them. The aftermarket support for parts is drying up because of deals like cat has, where they no longer allow the company's they are...
I wouldn't discount the fmtv family. I have had great service out of mine, if you do your service and inspections as the tm requires all most all the faults can be prevented or found before they cause an emergency. Every truck has its faults the 900 series has alternator and pcb problems the...
The heavy wood is my preferred oh sh!t tool, had a Detroit 6v53 eat through half the manual once. which why I don't put much stock in the theory a try chem extinguisher will plug an air filter.
There are a lot of commercial 11.00 20's tube type tires that will work on your rims. The 900 20 ccnd tires look cool but traction really sucks on road and off road. had some Michelin 1200r 20 tires we had fielded to go on the stock rims in a super single conversion they worked pretty good on...
I would leave the cat maybe tune it up to around 300 hp. Replacing with a like engine will be a lot less work. When the 363 ford diesel took a dump on my snow cat, I went looking for another one. I had a 6 b cummins on the floor but that would have required a re engineering of the whole thing...
I just ran into a problem, the line going to the oil sampling valve had been rubbing on the oil filter, in my case it wore through the line first, but had left a deep wear mark in the oil filter to.
In my experience is you want that 20 inch wheel if traveling dirt roads, even with the big soft tires and nice suspension, if you aren't holding on to the wheel tight washboard will rip it out of your hands at 50 mph. I would like a thicker sticker wheel but I don't want to go smaller on my roads.
Check your cat bolts cat is good for using bolts that have metric threads, but head sizes that work with both size wrenches, like 16 mm heads which interchange with 5/8.
for the wobble check steering box mounting the square body chevys were prone to cracking the steering box out of the frame. Several manufactures make re enforcements and repair plates for the chevy frame. First however I would suggest tire balance, just because you don't feel the wobble all the...
I thought mine was having regulator problems too since the temps dropped to -20. turns out its just the gauge I gave it a couple taps and the needle jumped right up to 28 volts
I cant speak for your driving style but I spend a lot of time off road and on un improved roads even in the winter I have never had a lack of air pressure. I'm betting if you do your airbrake test you will find you have a leak the other problem can be excessive stroke in the air cans because the...
