    tow bar storage mount

    I did mine across the rails too, but did it in the space between/above the rear axles because I had my bows stored in the fornt cavity. To secure it, I used a small chain thru the ring and a turn buclet to sinch it up tight. The pins for the feet pull up against the frame rail on the other side...

    noisy/ knocking compressor?

    First try turning the steeringwheel all the way left or right and see if the noise goes away. If it does, you COULD have a worn drive spline on the p/s pump or an air comp out of time, but, What you describe is absolutly normal.

    Museum Open House?

    By posts here, who here n the dry So. Cal area, would be interested in an Open House event at the Museum? Depending on the possible turn out, the M548 would be up and running, possibly the M578, maybe a LAV100, the LAPD one that was on loan to them from the Museum, shop area tour, free...

    Oil change nightmare!

    Before you go and pull it apart, troubleshoot it. Drop the pan, fill it with water and watch where the water is coming from. If it doesn't leak, put pressure on it.

    Shut off solenoid issue

    Could just be the "pull in" part of the solenoid. I don't remember which pin is what, I will look in my manual today. I think it is A-ground, B-pull in and C-hold in. I will verify today. You need to check the voltage at the pull in. If there is battery voltage there when cranking, the solenoid...

    MPG for 923a2 with 8.3 Cummins

    Loaded the C and L series are getting 5.5 to 6.5. That is in transfer trucks, box trucks get around 5 to 7 depending if they are stop and go delivery types or say LA to San Diego trips.

    Cracked block

    If all the components on your engine except the block are in good shape and the knocking one is cheap enough...$3-400 bucks or less, use the two to make a good one. and you could have some spare parts like a F/P, turbo, injectors, etc. You have to take it out anyway.

    Anyone changed the fuel pump filter on NHC250?

    No, not opinions, practical, working knowledge of the product. I don't care what the TM says, it's the gooberment. Nowhere in a Cummins manual does it say to replace the screen at ANY given mileage, hour, or fuel burned interval. The only time the screen gets serviced is at the time the pump is...

    Anyone changed the fuel pump filter on NHC250?

    Guys, that screen filter is there for one thing only. It's there so if the pump takes a dump, the debris from the failure will not go into the injectors. It is not a filter that needs servicing. It flows backwards from a filter, flows inside to outside and there is a little magnet glued into the...

    Cracked block

    Seen a bunch of them. No fix, just re-block. You know how many trash trucks I had to swing engines on because of that? Too bad you are in Md, I just took a 1995 C model out of a Grove crane and put in a 2014 ISL in it's place. The job is not AQMD funded, so the engine is being scrapped. Even has...

    Does anyone know what this is used for ??????

    ST-910...looks newer and in better shape than the one at work. I would bet your next paycheck, that is a liner driver for the C series engines.

    M929A2 Engine, Exhaust or Jake Brake

    This will work, Jacobs used to offer a set up like this, but technology is making this type of brake obsolete. You install a sender in the lock up port of the trans so the brake only works when the trans is in lock up. Still need to install a throttle switch. They work OK. They work better if...

    NHC 250 head gasket problems...

    Just be careful when using one of those cleaning pads on the deck. If you look at the liners, you'll see a little raised bead. DON'T knick it, hit it with the buffing wheel, nothing. That bead is the only thing that seals compression. Remember, it doesn't need to be all shiny to be clean. You'll...

    NHC 250 head gasket problems...

    Yes, those are the correct gaskets. The silver gaskets work good on new components, but when an engine gets miles on it, they don't work so well. Oil leaks were the biggest issue with those gaskets. Timing? I hope you mean overhead set. If you are messing with timing you need special tools to...

    923A2 Overflow Return Valve

    Or any Bosch authorized repair shop. They aint cheap though, last one I installed cost the customer $180.00.

    NHC 250 head gasket problems...

    There is only one place pressurized oil runs through the gasket. It is in the center, just behind the center head bolt on the fuel pump side of the engine, between the two push tube cavities. If the leak is at the rear of the head, i would start looking above the deck, unless you used old style...

    NHC 250 Oil Pressure drops out

    Another thing it could be is the stick marked wrong/wrong one installed and actually not having enough oil in the pan. IIRC, 5 1/5 low, 7 high, on the stick...in gallons, not quarts.

    M929A2 Coolant Filter Install Question

    Depending on how old the block is, plumbing can go like this, Into the filter from the bottom, center pipe plug, toward the center of the block. Out of the filter into the pipe plug just above the one you used for the inlet. If it is a newer block, there will be two pipe plugs toward the rear of...

    '90 BMY - stumbles/cuts out on acceleration

    On a normal truck with this engine, there is an electric sol. that pulls in to put the rack in the pump to the full fuel/start position and de energizes to put the rack to the zero fuel/dump port in the delivery valves. Do these have them? If so, the issue you are describing COULD be from a...
