Well, I won't be at the 2014 Sussex NJ show with my truck. I hit a wall with a few parts. I was making great progress but the odds were against me. I am doing a bunch of custom work to make everything fit like "the factory" did the work. I will be painting the front frame while the motor and...

Just a quick update. Of course I pulled the old Cummins 250, Pressure washed the Cummins 290 engine, changed the air compressor, replaced all o rings, replaced rear main seal, made new dual fuel feed lines, changed over all sensors and accessories, added grease fitting to water pump and idler...

I am working on a M915 for a customer. We added 1400/20 tires to the truck and it helped the ride quality a lot. Putting a M35A3 bed on the back tomorrow, some extra weight on the back will help even out the truck. Right now all the weight is on the front. You can check it out at the Sussex NJ...

I have been working 16 to 18 hour days working on the swap. The Cummins 290 is the same block as a Cummins 250 but they are different in just as many ways. I am replacing all of the rubber O-rings, hoses and doing all the hard work while the engine is on the stand. I have had to make some custom...

I camped out of my M923 last year. It gets cold at night so pack extra cloths and blankets. You will need to brake down and clean up camp during show hours .

Reusing the Allison transmission and I blew a head gasket in the cold weather.

pictures Here are some pictures to show the progress.

Ever since I bought my first 5 truck. I have always wanted to put in a more powerful engine. I bought a rebuilt Cummins 290 a few years back and put it on mothballs. Last year I sold a Cummins 400 big cam to Setvepala. Well now it is my time and I am biting the bullet and getting it done before...

Stevepala was one of the first people to telling me about the benefits of a FASS. I did a ton of research and discovered the benefits to the Cummins 250. I do agree that adding a lift pump and better filter would help the Cummins motors but they would not remove the air from the fuel.

Bringing a Complete LWS gun turret for a M 939 series trucks. I have it listed in the classified here on SS.

Convoy is coming from Mass. So far it is Martin Cox in the M915 Pulling his Scorpion tank , Greg Smith in his M923 on 1400 XZLs and hoping me in my M923 with the new Cummins. 290 with 1600 XZLs. We can't wait! Awesome show! As usual I will be delivering parts and going home with lots more ;)

Military tires are the cheapest right now. Changing the rims and the price of commercial rubber will break the bank. I guess it depends if you have a cheap source for tires.

csm davis, the oil pressure switch that comes with the unit will turn the unit on. I did the install by the book to keep the operation of the truck simple for the customer. I think when I do this on my truck I will wire it to run off my main switch.

It is a 24V 150 GPM unit.

Thank you for your comments Ron. Yes, there is no substitute for good maintenance. A FASS in not a solution for everyone, but it does have noticeable benefits. On your question about where the air comes from, Well a momma air and a Daddy air get together. LOL! No seriously, All fuel has...

I have done a lot of research into improving the Cummins 250. There are a lot of things I like about the Cummins 855 based motors. I am not the best writer and I always try to make my posts easy to read, so I am sorry if some of my statements seem confusing. I will try to clarify some of my...

I did months of research here on SS and online. I developed a theory and then asked the techs at Pittsburgh power and FASS. Yes, everyone agreed that supplying pressurized fuel with out air and filtered to Pt pump will improve the way any diesel motor runs. The 8.3L cummins has a lift pump...
