Again I have been around Reno racers, (Allisons, Merlin’s, with lots of boost) and tractor pulling. I have to say this is very unique to me for failure of a “stock” engine. But the beauty of a diesel over a “gas” engine is that you can’t melt a piston by going “lean”. Ya can by over fueling...

And you should be commended for a great answer to a question with pictures too!

Yes they have nuts too.

spending some time looking at your photos, it really looks like there was an obstruction in the cylinder. And with it running I don’t think you could put that engine in a laboratory sitting and hydrauliclly lock it up with coolant while in was running at anything above idle RPM. I would start...

Never seen a wrist pin broken in a “stock” configuration. I like you would be pis*ed. and have ever right to be

Aircraft spruce has them in there catalog for $4.40 each when I go to the military shows,meets etc. I can’t believe the people there don’t know about aircraft spruce, any hardware you need, if you call you talk to a real person right away, and free LARGE catalog.

A lot of civilians with the small cats have just put in a older all mechanical Rebuilt cummins. With the price of cat parts lately might be worth it?

Well sh*t happens, my one concern is that you said “ just left the camp site a couple of minutes earlier “(paraphrasing by me) and I’m sure sure that you gave your power plant a few minutes to warm up. I have friends who will never own diesels again because of problems with them but I have...

Half the “fifth wheel” travel trailers or over 10,000 lbs. how many three axle motorhomes or there on California hiways right now? A California “dmv hand book” is not the vehicle code. not saying it’s false, but just sounds a little fishy?

We have had ours for about 8 years. It real nice to have twelve foot two by fours loaded in the back or two pallets of floor tile. We have been to haspin towing our hmvee on the trailer, been to Arizona. We put the front freewheeling hubs on. for speed we put the “53 tires on. Much safer than...

Yea, not as tough as use to be. slid the bed back mounted at hand pump crane between the bed and cab. With the tire inside the crane footprint. with the “53 tires there about 390lbs each,

Sorry off the grid for a while, no I just asked a truck junkyard to find one about this leanth and this diameter and spline.

Just did a “tas 65 steering box” search, lots turned up. Very common. from $175 to $1400
