I believe the starter will swap over as it was in a truck before. I know the alternator is 12v but I'll deal with that as I get to it. The trans will fit underneath, it's shorter then the Allison so a proper jack shaft will need to be made but that's small potatoes. The shift tower came with...

It has begun... I finally got my kitty home. This is a 1995 CAT 3406B, equipped with 425 HP, jakes and oil cooler. Paired to it, a surprisingly (thought it was a 10 spd at first) Eaton 7 spd twin countershaft transmission. The engine is a running take out and it wasn't smoking or knocking or...

I think 6 is all you get. I've seen 5 ton delivery trucks from international/Freightliner/Sterling and have up to 6 speeds in them before going bigger to a twin countershaft. The hyrdo setup I want to run uses a special bellhousing and it's run with a Eaton Solo Advantage clutch. The slave...

My 3406B has arrived. It's delivered and paired to a Eaton 10 spd. There's no aux box and its overal length is shorter then the Allison. I believe it'll fit nicely but it doesn't have the correct bellhousing to run a hydro setup that I've seen on western star/freight liner trucks when I was at...

Well I have no winch so one less thing to worry about. :)

Perhaps a 10 spd road ranger would be ideal. I don't think they're as long at the MT654, just wider. My truck is the same frame width as any class 8 truck out there, 34". Cutting a hole in the floor for a shifter isn't my big concern. The clutch linkage & pedal is... I think I have 1 option =...

Sooooo....my CAT 3406B arrives Sunday for my swap in the ol M931 - (another thread). It has a standard SAE #1 flywheel bolted on to run any regular 15" clutch. I can't use the MT654 as its not rated for input hp this engine will produce. What are my options? Will a 9,10,13,15,18 Eaton Fuller...

Besides it cleaning up the smoke...how much bhp was achieved?

My air dryer stuck open and drained all the air last summer when I was hauling down a hill out in the sticks soon after I bought it. I pushed it up with my finger and it built air again, purge off and stick open. I replaced with a rebuilt Bendix AD-9 with a 24v heater element. Still common on...

I'm 100% critical of my engine, I rely on it for as a additional source of income. All air forced into a cylinder during the intake stroke is supporting combustion - it's compression ignition (Lots of air, small injection). Anything not "burnt" is wasted energy, just hp going out the tailpipe...

I'm not critical. If someone spends time & money to put one I respect that. I just don't understand what you want to achieve. A cool whistle noise when your going to 7/11 to get a slushy? Turbos don't blow cool air, unless the air has been substantively cooled through an intercooler. Sucking...

Any coolant blowing off?

You may just need a linkage adjustment. The cable may have stretched. If you wanted a sure way to know if it's linkage or the transmission itself disconnect the linkage off the transmission and manually put it into each gear with it running (while the park brake is on of course and wheels...

Ya I understand, it's a recreational use vehicle.

14k isn't bad for a rebuilt. I'm sure there's some guarantee behind if it's done professionally. 425 hp in a 8.3L is pretty sweet power to weight ratio. That thing would blast off to the moon.

I can guess that the lobes are bigger, producing longer ramping events. Strength & less wear as well.

I wish I bought a cargo and made it a tractor, longer frame to mount a winch behind the cab Making a tri-dive is amazing! Nice work.

With taxes, pump work/labour, freight here to me it's about $26 XXX all said and done. Another option is finding a B model out of a truck or whatever and sending it to them for the pump work. No warranty obviously. But I roll the dice with anything used. Boy oh boy, I'd love to stuff a K block...

If I buy a new Cat Reman from my Finning dealership here in town and they will do the pump/timing work to 500 hp. The dinger is it's an extra $3500 but I keep the warranty as long as they do the pump work.

I'm very surprised Cummins was the cheapest. I would have figured IPD would have been the seller on your inframe kit.
