I have run ATF in the tank of my of my M818 I put in 2 gallons of ATF in 40 gallons of fuel and the engine ran smoother, quieter and stronger. I know ATF has a higher BTU rating and has more lublicity so it does add more power. My truck runs good. I am just looking for a boost on big hills. I am...
Just a small amount of ATF added to the fuel tank makes a 250 run smoother, quieter and strong! For all of those members who are afraid of getting their tanks dipped. We could inject it where and when we need it. Yes, it is true the cummins 250 was designed to be a 250. Making more power means...
Good job thinking outside the box insaneJecke! I was thinking of doing something similar. Right now the parts for our trucks are available but that will change in the near future. Then people will be forced to consider these options.
Yes, I am sure it has! But as we all know the search feature doesn't work that well because of bad titles for threads. Which Thread are you referring too Doghead? Thanks
I have done a lot of research on adding power to a Cummins 250. I have found that adding a turbo with out changing the pump and injectors only adds about 20-25 hp and at a pretty high cost! I am think about adding propane injection or a system that injects ATF into the manifold on hills. I am...
I think something really bad happened to the orginal poster. He was buying a fuel tank from me and I called his house. His wife answered and said he had a bad accident. I haven't seen him on here since. I hope he is ok!

Yes, the DT466 is a very similar motor, nothing is easy but it can be done. There are more options on...
WOW! that is a great price! I will need to check them out. I have done some measurements too. Yeah it will be a tight fit trying to put that mammoth 400 amp alternator on a M923. I think that a 250 amp alt. will be a easier fit. I am going to recommend my customer goes with the PTO driven...
I had some question on how I built my bottom plate. This is what I did to the bottom plate. I pushed the tube up into the plate to make a dam. The tall section of the dam faces to the front. I felt it would keep rain from going right in the air cleaner, the small channel around the center...
The opening is 4 1/2 tall x 9 1/2 wide. Not sure about the math. The stock 5 ton mushroom has a 1" wide opening around the edge of the cap.
As far as testing it I did this mod. Last year and drove the truck to the COMVEC show in Chester CT, the Weare Rally in NH, the Natick Show in Ma, the...
