All the seals (orings and sealing washers) are off the shelf and I've seen people paying $15 for the diaphrams. You can get them much cheaper and they are factory originals. I've used quite a few. https://www.pgttruckparts.com/599805-Eaton-Diaphragm-Seal-p/2264-599805.htm
Mine is in process, hope it arrives soon. Glad yours was only simple stuff, I wasn't brave enough to go with a non runner. Sure is a shame the auction process and how almost no effort is put in. Didn't want to deal with a blown engine or tranny.
Do you mind sharing the auction? Curious how they...
My advice(because the other guys covered everything else), do not buy from Midwest Military Equipment.
Expensive, they do some maintenance and paint but major issues are left untouched.
Seems like CAT SIS doesn't show part numbers for military serial numbers. I have to make guesses with my C7 as it reports the serial number isn't in the system. Not sure the best way to compare?
Not sure the validity, but finding some indications the 505 tune is designed for engines with some modifications, including Jake changes, piston rings, oil jets.

Wish there was a reasonably priced source out there. I dislike the chunky elbow, but they work so I'm okay with it. I'm okay with companies making aftermarket options but this is like the 3rd time I've been burned by Midwest ... You'd think I would learn.
Unfortunately all the other CTIS seem to...
Had another trip this weekend, I'll start with the highlights...the negatives piss me off and are at the bottom.
Wonderful state park with very dark skies, some river crossings, incredible silence with no road noise. Kids found a friend and rode bikes, had wrestling matches, cooked smores. Had...
Replaced all my CTIS wheel valve assemblies with these: https://midwestmilitaryequipment.com/replacement-ctis-wheel-rim-valve-air-hose-assembly/
From the outside they looked like NOS units and I didn't inspect too closely. They certainly looked good, the hoses were the correct length, high...
Replaced the gaskets on the oil cooler to avoid the potential for filtered oil mixing with non. Turbo shaft was smooth as could be with no play. Since it's not yellow I'm guessing it was replaced at some point.
Installed some gas springs on both pass through doors. Door to habitat was coated...
Well, I'll be joining you guys soon....

I've ordered quite a few things from oshcut, a number from corten as well. My generator is held on the truck with some of them.
Have a bambu x1c I've used to make various truck things. Working with solidworks as well.
Did this on my C7 today, went smoothly, except the studs wanted to turn into the manifold a little when using new nuts. Studs are now slightly inset from nut end now, this is exacerbated by the thicker grimspeed gasket. Cooler plate was warped about .015" but I was able to flatten it by putting...
