    M-818 pre heater problem

    I imagine it could. you are turning on a serious resistor to create that amount of heat.

    M-818 pre heater problem

    dunno, but if you are getting 10 and the other end of the same lead is 12 then it's going somewhere. what are you seeing from the back of the switch. I'd just look at every place from the battery to the plug and see where it's disappearing.

    no twisted splines, must be the pic or the way it was taken. I do plan on finding a spare or two.

    818 locker install

    it's getting lockers in both rear axles. I have heard with proper driving it can be done without breaking stuff. I guess only time will tell. these two units were rebuilt in 1997 so they should be good to go. gaskets are here and hopefully will drop at least one in this afternoon.

    818 locker install

    yes, I pulled the plate and decking. comes right out that way. there is no way to move this stuff by hand. my guess is the chunk weights at least 400lbs. The track bar must also be removed. more pics tomorrow.

    m813 performance

    no, there is no direct bolt on setup like the oil filter. the fuel filter is very good, very large to handle a lot of crap before needing to be swapped and is easily available. so no real need to change.

    any pics of fuel heater on 809's?

    some more install pics from today. BTW bjorn I noticed in the instructions today that it says to shutoff the coolant heater valves on the engine in warm climate to keep from overheating the batteries.

    Picking up M35A2 From Fort Jackson, SC

    I can help, and yes you cannot drive it out. it must be towed out. You can thank one of the members here for that.

    818 now with turbo and pics.

    no need to. turbo is simpler and quicker and no need to reinvent the wheel when cummins already did all the work for you. I can do a kit but most everybody on here are DIY folks so I haven't been asked to do it yet. thats the main reason. if you want one let me know and I can get a quote to you.

    ring mount cab plate... how many need one?

    yes bring it back with you and I can use it as a pattern. I have 2 of my own installed on my trucks and can copy them but having that one would be easier.

    ring mount cab plate... how many need one?

    I am considering making these cab reinforcement plates. How many people need one/want one. they will look identical to the originals except they won't be carc painted. prob just raw steel. if I can get enough ppl interested in them I'll have a batch run. obviously the more ppl that get in...
