    Timing, EGT's and boost

    Just for comparison, my gov is up 3 clicks, pre boost is adjusted some, and the rate screw is adjusted some. I'm hiring 25 psi boost and letting out at 1150*F on EGT. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Looks like my hitch holds up well! It's hauled these coolers all over the beach for the last 4 days. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Thanks! Here's more pics. It's main braces are 4in channel, the vertical supports I cut the 4in down to 3 in. The diamond plate is 3/16 steel. I stick welded it together, I could have done a much prettier job with the MIG but I was worried about sufficient penetration for the beating it was...

    Cummins 6CTA8.3 Injection Timing

    So I noticed on the IP of my 923 with 8.3 there was elongated holes where it mounts to the cover. Could you not loosen the nuts and rotate the IP to adjust timing with a strap? It didn't look like it would move but a 1/4 in. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Anyone else notice that the cutout in the bumper for the winch is offset to one side? I never noticed it until last when I was pulling measurements. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Fuel system issue

    I tried to rebuild my lift pump, it still leaked. There is some square O rings that I couldn't find. I bought a new one from Cummins and chunked the old one. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    I resealed the power steering resoviour, replace the filter, and changed the fluid. Also gotta thank simp for the insight and air diagrams for the air brakes. I was having air leaking into the stack when the pedal depressed. I found it to be the Q2 or front axle quick release as is known other...

    DOT air line fittings?

    We use alot of the all brass Parker fittings like that and have had no problems with them. There is a tool to help push the lock in, and sometimes washing it out with brake clean prior helps to. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    June 3rd Edenton NC farm show

    Bump to the top! It's getting close! I'm trying to get a head and type of equipment count so I can plan the setup around us. If someone has a nicely restored cargo truck they're bringing that can carry the ROTC color guard I'll let you lead the parade! Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Ken I really wanted to get you to sit in those seats you gave me last year, a little TLC and some tuning made a major differance. I installed them in my 923, major improvement in the ride. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Had to, all I could get fast especially being we were at Jim Henrys rally. I should have bought one from you months ago. I'm tapped out now, I had already bought a new set of tires that I was picking up and installing at the rally. Thanks sons m37 for helping to install them Wednesday night...
