Are the rods bent or etched? If they aren't there should be no reason to replace them. Same for the jets, they usually don't wear. If they are all covered in varnish, go down to NAPA or the likes and get some air line alcohol and drop the varnished/ugly parts into a container filled with enough...

It is a rubber top layer with a softer rubber backing about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. It looks like the same material that Navistar uses on their trucks. I don't know how it's mounted, the one I saw had most of it pulled up. I think it would be a good addition, but on the other hand, it would hold...

When I got my truck, there were 4 u-bolts thru the back of the cab and there was evidence that there was something mounted in them and the leg holder by the passenger side mirror showed evidence of something being clamped in it, The back side of the passenger seat also had wear from standing on...

Think of it as our own little onboard cancer fighting radiation treatment! We should live longer than expected now.

A set of Vise-Grips on the rack is good insurance for Detroits and a Co2 extinguisher will snuff out a runaway. Been there, done that. 22 years at work, had 2 do it. Both times, the customer drove the vehicle in. I got in them to move them around to the shop, got one of them up to the shop...

I agree! 46 and I find myself mellowing with age, the fuse isn't as short, but I still have no patience for stupidity or laziness. Sometime it's easier to do things yourself.

Didn't the M75 have 2, I-6 GM engines?

Or hard, cracked oil cooler seal rings. Take it apart, if the o-rings are in one piece and not all hard and flat, it is most likely the cooler. A radiator shop can test it.

Sprag or air shift?? Could it be possible that with the big tires the slpines got sheared in a drive flange?

Cummins has ALWAYS recommended 15W40. Your flavor is up to you.

Take the return line off at the engine and see if this helps. (run it into a bucket, it is a messy test!). Too much return restriction will cause an issue like you are explaining. Someone said the two tanked trucks all do it? The return lines I have seen are all coiled up on top of the tanks...

If both batteries are dead, you need 24VDC to slave start the engine. If one battery is dead a 12 VDC jumper can be used to the dead battery. Yes, you can pull 12 volts off of one battery.

The following week is an annual week long family trip, I won't be able to go due to getting ready for that trip.

From the Cummins factory, the were Cummins Beige, it is a patented color, as are the others, Bluke, Titanium Black, Apex Red, Old Gold. When we used to see the 800 and 900 series and OSHKOSH trucks, they were OD in the OSHKOSH, and a satin/semi gloss in the 800/900 trucks, but, there were the...

If there is no connection from the engine to the frame, just make one.

Fleetguard antifreeze is blue, comes with the SCA's in it and it comes in concentrate or pre mixed.

Well, here are pics of the finished product. Jacked it up, did a brake adjustment, lubed it, adjusted the PB, Craig did a service on it. We took it for a few laps around the compound, man, it sure drives good! The engine was a tad noisy, as in valves ticking, so, we pulled a lid off of a donor...

Did it move??!! :-D
