    How long to cool down after Short Trips...

    I think the deuce will be more forgiving on the short hop and charging issue, no control box dealio, they are just a normal electrical system with no electronic features. I miss my truck, but don't at the same time.

    M923A2 8.3 Oil pan bolt torque specs

    248 in lb, or 20 ft lb. start in the middle of the pan rail and work your way out. There are 4 places to use a silicone based adhesive, NOT SILICONE, regular silicone will be attacked by the acids in the oil over time and will leak. The front gear housing and the rear seal carrier are part of...

    How long to cool down after Short Trips...

    Yes, idling will cause carbon packing, it still does and it is a big issue now. This condition polishes liners, meaning, it removes the cross hatch and causes oil consumption. IIRC, these could have no valve seals, depending on how early the engine is, they did no at first, so oil migration down...

    How long to cool down after Short Trips...

    A little heat in the engine before taking off is good, but remember, YOU aren't using these engines as they were designed to be used. In "normal" temps...65-80 degrees, start the pig, let it idle a bit 'till o/p is stable and drive out of your driveway normally, cold weather is different, I...

    8.3 cummins return fuel rail (banjo bolt) check valve

    14L is a totally different fuel system, it has no pressurizing valve like the ones in the Bosch systems. Cummins is proud of that part, $100 + dollars! You guys need to find a Bosch fuel shop and buy from them, they are only 35 bucks there.

    855 air compressor putting oil into the air tanks.

    For me, not so hard, I have tools for it. For you, you will have a helluva time trying to get the spline off the crank. After that is off, easy as a briggs engine to overhaul. Buying a reman from the likes of NAPA, ReCon, local component remanufacturer is your best option.

    Cummins 8.3L Factory Coolant Filter

    IIRC, there is a plug to install in the head or block that forces coolant flow through the trans cooler in closed stat operation.

    M820 idle creeps higher once engine warms up...

    First, remove the throttle linkage from the arm on the fuel pump, leave the return springs on the arm, and start it. Let it run to see if the issue is still there. If not, problem solved, you need to adjust the linkage. If it's still there it is time for a pump. The most common cause for this...

    M939 Does not Idle

    There is a specified measurement of travel for the FSOV when it is in the run position....leme see if I can find it Here they are. These are for A and P pumps with RQVK governors. IIRC, this is what the engines came with. If you have the MW pump, let me know and I can find that too

    M925 Weird vibration/noise at idle.

    Some noises are normal, listen hard enough and you can hear your mama calling you fat lady sings. If it has good oil pressure and no plumes of smoke out of the oil filler or blow by tube and not hammering from the bottom, run it

    fuel shutoff solenoid on the cummins 8.3

    No check valve there. That is injector return. a 6mm banjo bolt, no screen, no check valve. There are two check valves in the lift pump and 1 at the galley return at the pump, this is the one that makes the low pressure in the pump.

    M813 5 Ton Overheating

    No, because of the design and installation of the liner and head gasket design. I should correct myself though. The old style gaskets, metal with neoprene grommets around one of the center head bolts and white water passage grommets will not put compression into the cooling system. The newer...
