I run two big 8D batteries under my pass. bench seat. Much easier.

That 5 spd Eaton would be perfect, it's shorter then the auto and will take the torque of that B model. The auto wouldn't work with 425 HP flowing through it. I agree, maybe a 10-18 spd would be ideal but now I may have to find one.

Well. Got the front & rear main seals replaced, flywheels in machined with a new pilot bearing installed, new fuel hoses, filters, jakes wired up inside the rockers. Transmission is at my tranny guy, turns out it's a big 5 spd with 5th as direct, the issue is the mainshaft is damaged and no one...

**** of a deal! I may be interested in those :)

Does anyone have an idea what a Goodyear 14.00R20 AT-2A with a combat wheel installed weighs?! I got a smokin' deal on 7 of them and have to haul them all in the back of my short box Ram 2500 lol for about 350 miles. I think if I stack them just right it can wing this. My truck's payload maxes...

huh?

I agree. For the cost of things in the end doin one hole is way cheaper. If your unsure pull the pan and look at the liners, you'll see which one(s) are damaged. Plus all that metal will need to be cleaned out. I would recommend checking the liner and see if it dropped before pulling it out...

Lots of parts for the 250 around. Such as from Interstate Mcbee or IPD Diesel for liners/rings/bearings/pistons/seals/gaskets and many reman parts. They are aftermarket but waaaaaaay better priced then from Cummins. I got a entire in-frame kit for my Cat for $2500 vs from Cat which was outrageous.

Was a jake option ever made for the 8.3? The last one I did an in-frame on was the newer CR model (ISC) had an exhaust brake. That be a sweet addition to a 8.3 if you could run one.

8.3's have wet liners. The have one o-ring for sealing. 5.9/6.7's are parent bore designed. IIRC you can bore out 0.030" on the b models and run oversize pistons/rings if they get scored. I also believe you can run a dry liner as a final solution for a scored hole as well but I have never seen...

I found a solution for running a intercooler. I'm replacing the whole rad for a setup Peterbilt/International does on some of their new trucks. Its a half(rad bottom)/half(CAC top) design stacked on top of each other. I measured it and it should fit fine and still provide cooling/intercooling...

Just FYI Rockwell T-1138 rear output seal is a Timken 416654

I think with a 12v you'd burn alot of fuel to move a 5 ton. Even with twins, injectors and a done up P7100. I wouldn't trust the dodge auto behind it for that amount of weight lol. The Cat 3406B I got lined up into mine is a huge repower project but 425 HP stock is worth the work. You can have...

Ummmm haha it has a bit to be desired. Mine hauls offroad, with a short wheel base it's nice in the mountains. I overload mine quite substantially. It does quite well with 80000 lbs. The lack of a engine brake & turbo make it a dog but I haven't ever put on chains with the 6 wheel drive, it...

I think a inline 6 would be a better choice as the M900 engines tuck under the firewall cowl a bit unlike the M800's. The 3406B is gonna be tight fit when she goes in on mine. Not enough room to run a intercooler. May look at that stacked intercooler/rad ideas I se on Peterbilt/International...

Looks like a piece of the thrust bearing for the crank.

I had my truck parked on the street at my mom's house haha and 2 days later got a letter stuck on the window from city by-law saying people were complaining because they couldn't see up the road when backing out their driveways LOL. I ended up moving it to my house ( big driveway) when I had...

They're a great tractor because of the short well base but they're lame sauce for creature comfort. I use my truck for low bedding and it doesn't cut it as they're so low of the horsepower scale to be remotely competitive. If you like a slow, steady haul then get a A1/A2 with stock engines. I...

Didn't get much done today. Replaced some missing injector line spacers, pulled off the flywheel & seized pilot bearing for machining and access to replace the rear main seal, cleaned the trans up so I can have it inspected by a Eaton trans re-builder I know.

The 250 on my truck is rear sump :)
