These arn't a Cummins. The notion that I have found after much reading on this site is that the Multi's can't handle running at their governed limit for long, much less a higher one. The big difference between the Multi's and other diesil's are that a conventional diesil has a compression ratio...
Vintage Iron has the steel ones picured in this thread, here in the classfieds. Me and Repo I know have ordered one and are enthusiasticly waiting on them. Pics and a write up on how they were adapted to our trucks and if we noticed any difference coming shortly after.
Post #11 takes care of #1,2,and 3. Also includes a rubber insulated bracket. The noise is slight from these, you only hear them when engine off, hood open and working on it. Also very small and only 2 wires to hool up to it.
That's cool, it uses screw in adjusters to shim the gear side to side like the old Ford 9 in. did. Any pics of the loose locker before the install? Was it a new carrier, is that why you had to gring on the housing?
Good idea Heath, and there's already a line plumbed inside the cab for that too that I could use to hook it up right? Talking about the airflow restriction guage line, I could temporaraly hook something to that to colltect that kind of data. I do have a hand vacum pump, I'll hook it up and try...
At idle the engine shouldn't be consuming enough cfm's for it to be a restriction. As far as running down the road, I'll give my 2cents worth.....If you are familar with the principle of airflow across a opening creates a vacum in the opening, as a example I have a A/C evac too that uses shop...
Appreciated! Just to let you know, the hole on the bottom needs to be for 4 in pipe. Our 2 1/2 tons have a different pipe size than you 5 ton, Looks great though. I'll be checking the classifieds but PM me I'll buy the first!
Was it a NO on the diamond plate steel option?
Naw, the heat is generated in the cylinder, if you run over I think the temp was 1300*F in the cylinders the piston start to melt. We're only worried about the exaust side. Being the sensor is a little downstream you have to assume that it's started to cool some. Me personally I don't let mine...
Congrat's on your fiance[thumbzup], mine's a little harder to talk into pics.
What collar are you refering to? My truck has a 4 in pipe that has a couple of slots cut lenth wise in it and just a regular turbo clamp that's not welded on. Just a 4 in diameter pipe out the bottom about 6 in long...

The last pic of the first post, the one with the chick sittin on the hood.:wink:
What kind of hose are you supposed to use for the upper rad. hose? When I did alot of work to it recently I replaced the one that was on it with a very heavy duty, stiff hose. I'm wondering if that's what actually caused my leak, not enough flex for the hot to cold temp change.
Are you talking about something like a blend door? Where it changes from hot to cold? If it's for something like that a F250-350 has a electric self regulating vacum pump that doesn't take much power to run and it provides enough vacum to run the plenum door actuators and the 4x4 lock hubs...
