Placement is the big hurdle. Plumbing-in would be a piece of cake what with all the mandrel-bend tubing shapes available. I asked an outfit that makes custom intercoolers (charge air coolers) about all kinds of things like lag, size required, etc. and the bottom line was to do it with a big...

Lee, they DON'T wear very much. Bjorn's had mega-miles on it when we pulled it down to replace his rear main seal. Asked the guys at our local brake and clutch outfit who brought out a new one and the two were .010" or .015" from each other.

Not sure of the thickness when new. The TM 9-2815-34-x-x says the minimum is .350". Discard when they get that thin.

Kinda looks like it. Rears are sure sitting inboard a ways.

Pre-fill all filters (as best you can) so the pump doesn't have to drive oil the full length of the lube system. Disconnect the oil feed line to the turbo and pour in two or three ounces of motor oil so that it's not dry during spin-up (don't worry about trying to fill it, the oil just runs...

RE: Re: Cummins into deuce All excellant ideas Garbee. I did the mechanical shutdown when I sanitized the engine; and just picked up the mech. tach drive set-up to run the tachygraph I installed in the new dash panel. (Be sure you get the right adapter for the IP gear nut, the first one they...

RE: Re: Cummins into deuce Area 52, see if I can't dig out some more part nos. for you. The compressor is a Bendix Tuflo 550 off of a Ford application and has an attached power steering pump. The exhaust manifold is Cummins P/N 3902347. Another handy item is a thermostat housing that has it's...

If the seat slats are wood then they may have dried out and shrunk to the point of holding the posts in a bind. Try shaking them front to rear to break them loose. Another trick is to try prying each one up a little at a time to get them all started moving. And above all, enlist help; these...

Sacramento area gas is 3.23 to 3.43 for reg. Diesel is everywhere from 2.95 to 3.49 depending on station location.

Here's the manufacturer www.aapusa.com/perf_vinyl_facing.htm

I think this might be your mystery part.

Uhhh, NOT the way it should be. The underdash wiring is a basket of snakes and you might have a couple of wires that have the insulation rubbed off of them in just the wrong spot. I have the wiring diagrams for the HEMTTs and LVSs. PM me and I'll see if I can help.

More info needed. Lots of stuff is silvery inside an engine. Could even residue from before the last oil change that was hiding in a low spot.

I use a straight-through truck muffler on my Cummins with passable results but then I have a stock length exhaust system. Deuces are a little shorter. What is helpful with any set-up is a way to cool the gases and thereby get them to shrink back in volume/pressure. Sound is, after all, nothing...

Com'n guys. We own DIESELS... they're nothing BUT rattles.

Not sure exactly what CFMs for exhaust should be. I'd guess higher than for the air filter because of the expansion of heated gases from combustion. Might get into a Machinery's Handbook and see what pipe/tubing of a given I.D. flows and go from there. Remember that bends slow down flow due to...

First-rate job!! Makes your truck look a lot better when things are more in proportion. Great looking shop too; sure beats working in my driveway.

You should check this out before getting too far into things but if memory serves me, when we did an engine swap into my M37 the stamped front motor mount saddle on the block just needed to be removed and turned around so the "feet" pointed backwards and that solved the front mount problem. A...

Cummins into deuce Here's the Cummins I put into my deuce-framed baby HEMTT project. It's out a Freightliner light delivery (Fed-Ex or UPS delivery trucks, armored cars, later bread trucks). When you stop thinking Cummins/Dodge pick-up application, all kinds of nifty options open up to you. The...

Thanks for the info ACE. I'm still mulling a set of hubs over and figuring out all the pros and cons. For a truck that's as wide as the baby HEMTT is to start with, every bit of extra inches is to be considered.
