    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    No EGT's were fine and it was making awesome power. A little too awesome. ..... The truck was lunging hard with the up shift into 3rd and 4th. It would shift and not pull the engine rpms down like it normally would, but instead accel rather quick when it shifted. I didn't think the Trans would...

    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    Yeah, there's enough. The tubes fairly thick, almost a 1/8th inch if I remember right. Mine's been in a year with no sign of problem. When I was running the pump the most I saw was 35 psi and I turned it down from there. I normally see 28 psi max.

    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    No need to weld a bung in the intake tube. My boost guage came with a 1/4 NPT fitting to hook to the pipe. I removed the intake tube to drill and tap a port, then reinstalled. Tube is steel so it works fine.

    I've heard it before, they have it posted on the campground at the beach that we go to. Worried about bringing bugs in.

    Well I can't say I've hit the gov in mine, but I only did 2 clicks and my wife has called from the chase truck to say SLOW DOWN cause I was pushing 70 to 72mph.

    We'll set up where we did last year, 2nd gravel road on the right after the gate. Our camper can't fit in those trees. And it's up on the hill so the dogs won't bother anyone else.

    You don't have to reserve a spot. The park has 10k plus people in it at any one time during the farm show. There are camping hook ups every where. Bring a atv if you have one, the wife and I rode around looking one afternoon lots to look at. Their website shows 400 camp sites and 5 bath houses...

    Hey, there's plenty of room there. It's a huge place. I'm sure they have semi's come in during the farm show, it's a massive event. There are lots of camper places too, but no sewer hook up. There is a dump station and wash houses.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Sure but it won't fix it. It doesn't take that much to take the tire off and fix it, or take it to a big tire shop.

    M923A2 Transmission/Drivetrain Question

    I think I saw quite a while ago something about someone trying to put a road ranger in one. Might do some searching.

    M105 cover question

    So both ends open the trailer and cover rode fine, but with it loaded and closed up it only got 1 mpg less. So not enough mpg differance to warrant the aggravation of rolling that front cover up.

    That would be great for me, I'm not much on mud over ankle deep. To much maintenance to do after and I hate washing a truck.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Hope you have another alternator too, the stock units aren't known for handling extra load very well.

    Oil everywhere..anyone in dfw wanna help?

    EPA spill report requirement is 10 gallons, so he's ok as long as he used proper spill containment methods.

    2015 Va Rally at Graves Mountain September 3-7

    "Those states hand out permits to people who are barred under the Virginia law, like fugitives, convicted stalkers and drug dealers, which undermines the state's law and puts residents at risk, he said." Those folks can't legally get a fire arm to start with! ! Let me stop, SS is a no politics...
