The 8.3L uses a torque plate like the 12v 5.9L Cummins. Typically you can gain some power by loosening the 2 bolts the hold the plate and sliding it forward. The governor arm rides on this profiled plate and the plate dictates how much fuel the pump will put out based on a given RPM range...

It's the 8.3 CTA Cummins. I know a company called TST performance sells injectors for the 8.3. There are some other performance companies out there since that engine is widely used in trucks, buses, RV's etc... There are adjustments that can be made to the injection pump, but with a truck...

Well gang, the truck made it to Aberdeen and back without a major problem. I believe the alternator may have crapped out on the way up since I needed a jump to get it going when trying to come home. The batteries were almost completely dead when we got home. The headlights were real dim and I...

Great to have you aboard! We are a friendly bunch and you just can't beat the deuce info found here!

Big bump to the top to thank everyone who is supporting the server fund drive!

Nice 8x8 Ron! Try Joe Jackson at Titan Transport. He's who hauled my M923A2 home for me at 21,500 lbs so I know he could handle the weight. Very nice guy and reasonable. He's experienced with MV's too! ph 434-426-7361. He's out of Blueridge, VA which should be somewhere in between A and B...

More convoy pics! These were all taken at Ollies before the big entrance into the stadium.

Here's my show pics. It was a blast guys. Thanks for all of your hard work and support! More sign pics and Mike's deuce too :wink:

Got home around 9pm last night. The Overspeed light got a nice workout as we ran 60-65 for most of the trip. We only scared the crap out of a few foreign car owners. The trip started out real well when the truck wouldn't start again after getting some photos snapped of it by DDoyle. Mangus...

That's awesome Eric! Congrats. It is such a good feeling to hear a truck start up for the first time after so much hard work. Keep us posted!

Thanks Sean! The big stinky has been cleaned up for the most part. I spent the afternoon with my brother double checking everything for the ECC and Aberdeen. We pulled out the hood insulation because it was falling apart all over the engine. I also bypassed the parking brake alarm to shut it...

Bjorn sorry to hear you won't make it. I off-loaded the barrel of WVO and it is now in the back of my pick-up. I will stick it somewhere if you want to come get it later. I am not about to stick that stinkin thing back in the 923 after all the effort I went through to clean it ;) Maybe you...

I used to do a lot of 4-wheeling and bogging. Improper hooking points are probably the largest contributor to strap related injuries or deaths. I have seen a lot of stupid stuff done over the years when trying to recover a vehicle. People hooking straps to hitch ball, using cheap Chinese...

The dog is much too proud to go around with a Friar Tuck cut so she'll be having a bath at the boarding kennel today. Will, it wasn't the entire 55 gallons thank heavens! It was about 7-10 in my best guestimate. Oil Eater eh? Sounds interesting. I'll scope out the local hardware store...

ROTFL!! I have officially changed the dog's name from Mocha to Fish Stick. She's not happy. She's unable to lick the grease off of the top of her head. That's why she's rolling on the rugs in the kitchen and then licking them. She's gone mad I think!

Now you are going to have to paint the whole front of the truck Kenny. That pretty new plate makes the rest of it look rough ;)

Thanks for the product report Kenny. I wish I would have had one of those for my deuce as it was pretty mangled too.

Ha! I need to flip the ring since the little tab-thing-a-ma-jigger won't stay up. It was after midnight when I put it back on and I wasn't thinking too clearly :wink: To quote Smokey and the Bandit: "I want some hush puppies Daddy" "We ain't got time for that $%#@ Junior!!"

Very cool. I love the shackles. They are super beefy!
