    2015 Aberdeen and Findlay shows -SAME DAYS!

    I got a good deal on a heavy tow bar from Mike on Sunday a few years ago. Nobody wants to drag the heavy stuff home. That weekend is my oldest sons birthday so I don't make it there usually. But it's fun to camp out and bs with everyone.

    Snow chains rub my springs

    My 818 suspension should be the same as yours. I've ran chains on mine a couple times. They didn't rub anywhere. What kind of tensioner are you using? Maybe you can run them loose on the inside and pull them farther to the outside.

    Increasing PT pressure

    I got a used manifold but this is the same one but new. http://www.agkits.com/cummins-nt855-old-style-small-cam-big-cam-i-ii-iii-exhaust-manifold-3801322.aspx

    Increasing PT pressure

    I installed a block heater too. But sometimes I stay at work overnight and it makes it easier to start when it's 10° outside.

    Increasing PT pressure

    You 939 guys have a lot more room under the hood. I used the factory intake manifold. I wanted to keep my cold start. Are you planning on bumping the pressure or changing the button? I have a couple of buttons to try out but haven't had a chance to do it. I hope to get the stack on this week...

    Increasing PT pressure

    http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?95070-NH-250-lifter-housing-shims Changing the timing is not required. I think it may make better power at a lower egt and make the engine last longer though.

    Increasing PT pressure

    I just got the turbo install finished. Took it for a ride. Still 200 psi at pt pump and about 12 psi boost. EGT's stay a lot colder. And I kept it in 5th on a hill I normally would have dropped to fourth on. I replied in an old thread about retarding the timing a degree or two. Upping the...

    NH 250 lifter housing shims

    Mine is on the plate on the motor. I would think they are all the same.

    Mercedes Sprinter van vs M-35 rear end...

    When my truck was hit. It pushed the frame forward under the cab, shearing the bolts. The bed was still bolted tight to the bent frame. Your lucky you weren't in the truck when it was hit. That metal dash is hard on the knees!

    Mercedes Sprinter van vs M-35 rear end...

    And if they do total it ask about buying it back. I bought mine back for a lot less than scrap value.

    Mercedes Sprinter van vs M-35 rear end...

    They're not that tough. I was in a similar accident a few years ago. Rear ended by a 1 ton van. Bent axle, frame, rims. Broke transmission. A lot more speed though, they guy that hit me was going so fast that the rear of his van came off the ground. His windshield was in the bed of my truck...

    NH 250 lifter housing shims

    My engine is a E code timing. My engine is a few years newer than my truck though.

    NH 250 lifter housing shims

    Dug this old thread up. I was thinking of reshimming my cam followers to get a little pushrod travel. Maybe a couple thousandths of an inch more to a NHCT270 spec or 290 I'd like to keep my pt pump pressure below 200# and also keep the egts down. I know this has to be set with the dial...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    My fuel gauges quit working too. One quit then the other a few months later. While I had the deck plates off I pulled one of the senders and found nothing wrong with it. Nothing wrong with the wires to the dash either. It turned it to be the little ground wires on the tanks to the frame. They...

    Snow Plow Mount

    Looks more comfortable than my truck! The heat probably works better too!

    Van trailer tire swap

    I had saved a set of 11:00-20's for my M348 but they would be way too close in the wheel well. So I'll stick with the 9:00's till I find 6 lug 22.5 rims for it. I did put a couple on my m105 though.

    More Power From NHC 250 in M939 Series Trucks With Allison Transmissions

    That info is from here http://www.mil-veh.org/archives/03-08/0724.html Was also referenced in Jwallers 818 turbo install thread. Pg. 15 http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?28133-818-now-with-turbo-and-pics I've been trying to get those old bulletins from Cummins. They seem to be...
