when I rebuild or replace an engine that is black it always gets painted. my 363 ford is now cat yellow, my cummins is ford grey, I have a few vw engines that are Chrysler blue. I always try to pick a bright color for the engine bay, because black in the dark sucks for my aging eyes. the...

that is mine is on a boat right now it just left seward

nice rig I have one I should finish up some day as others said . they look military and are just the right size I cringe every time I watch A-team re runs and see how many m37' were totaled by that show.

napa cummins and snap on all sell tools to pull the injectors they are essentially small slide hammers the cummins one is the coolest its on a cable and works well around turbochargers, last one I bought from cummins back in 2000 was only 50 bucks back than in my mind it was money well spent.

on the a-1 trucks the tcm is 12 volts I have to believe the a-0 trucks are the same to the trans solenoids are also 12 volt sounds like too much power went through something maybe a lot of smoked diodes.

transfercase upgrade your older 998 doesn't have a high lock indicator light which is what those wires are for

there used to be wedge shims available for the spindles to the dana 60 spindle is weak and prone to bending my 89 dodge has 2 bent right now. if you are that curious about diagnosis get some one to chuck it up on a lathe and you will see the wobble

you can use the engine serial number and get a new one from cat. they are essentially a knock off BorgWarner / schwitzer badged as a cat. what makes you think you need one, turbos seldom go bad when they do you will have excessive crank case pressure, or oil running out the exhaust. in theory...

I would think any hd truck parts place like napa traction can get you hose and re usable fittings to make your hoses

roomy dry cab and air brakes are what did it for me. I was looking hard and strong at an a-3 duce which would have a low hp 3116 auto trans and power steering

the 6 bt has a vacuum pump there are 2 styles the rotary type, and the early model pod type. all one would have to do is change out the ps pump housing so you had the double return housing, and if you had a gen 2 truck you would also have to change the fitting for the high pressure hose in the...

check oil verify good oil and pressure look for metallic flakes in the oil the loss of a rod bering is enough to drop compression so an engine wont fire. if the engine is mechanically sound I would think it is a fuel knock the result of a bad injector. you can find which one by cracking lines...

just remember unless there is a dozer near by or some real big trees its still going to cost to get an anchor point on site heavy enough to pull a 20k truck out. I don't live where there big trees. but even when I lived in south central Alaska there were only a few places trees got that big

boy rather than using a noisy road oiler I think a 6 b cummins would fit nice than you could also add hp if you wanted to

my plan is to avoid getting stuck. sometimes mistakes happen but usually the need to winch can be avoided. if I think I need a winch to get some place I will likely decide I don't need to be there that bad. if I get stuck around here I still have to bring in an anchor anyways as there is really...

same thing I had with the m rap engines I was working on we made our own fittings but had to buy the new bolts some one had discarded the bolts and fittings and tried to use brass hose nipples. insite picked it up real fast that there was air in the system.

I agree but, a 2 part block that will hold 20 k is going to be pretty heavy. for most of my winching needs say pulling out a 4x4 or, loading a trailer its nice to use a single line pull, and only 2 part the winch when doing a self recovery or another large vehicle like mine.

this is an air issue just went through this with some 300 hp mrap engines, the priming pump would be a good way to get fuel to the fuel pump, which also is supposed to be your lift pump the booster just helps it along cummins uses banjo fittings with a strange metric thread on the bolts

the trans in nutrural is just a wire you hook up on the tcm as an option ive been through this before on commercial allisons I have a fleet of fuel trucks the up fitter didn't use this option on they will go into gear with the pto engaged. because they are air shift there is a brake interlock...

those look like nice units I wished the electric models had a level wind like the hydraulic models do
