Glad you had a fun and safe time. Regarding the genetials, we pulled up next to a lifted F-350 one time that had them, and my wife says out her window to the driver “Had to buy em’ eh?”. I’ll never look at those like I used to, again.

If he gets it, we'll all be 4-dooring 809 series trucks. Rare but could happen. infidelgotme had his M923a2 at a car show in FL, somebody that owns his own physical therapy company walked up and asked how much, catfish told him $23k, and the guy wrote him a check. So, it can happen in a snap...

Just get the 2 cylinder air compressor. :)

Your font size will keep anybody over the age of 19 from reading your post. Ha. Congrats on your engine assembly, you have a lot into it. Don't kill the starter! Wait, too late. If you think everything is together right, prime the fuel system with the plunger up to the injection pump, crack...

Check all 4 glad hands, their valves, and covers. I had same issue as you mentioned, twice, and that was the cause both times. Once was while driving, kind of scary but got to safety and found problem. Fixed in 10 seconds. They can and do get bumped around, played with while you are not...

If it is rated for 120psi then no regulator needed. Too bad not an a2, could tie it into the CTIS, then you could do run-flat with it.

You’re amazing.

Cummins list advisable compression figures for some engines but not all. They prefer to do it by blow-by volume measurement. But, fortunately, for our 8.3's, they do give some #'s as guidance. Looks like you have some carbon build up working in your favor. Here is what the free online...

You can find TDC of a diesel easily without much work. Pull the valve cover, remove the rocker of an intake or exhaust valve on #1 cyl, and by hand push down a valve in different crank positions until you feel the valve hit the piston top (by hand or with spring compressed by a screw type...

I'm confused. The engine won't run right with the pump that came on it if connected as designed? You have to deliberately leave something off in order to have proper fuel control? If so, something is not right. Either your shop screwed something up, or you have something not right.

Just buy 3 of them instead. You're big $. I could not get you to come work for me no matter how much I offered! Leave it yellow. Put a Fisher Price decal on it.

You should be able to get a good working MT654CR for about $500 plush shipping from here. I'd do that and be done. Or, I would try to get ahold of an Allison tech when his boss is around the corner, and see how much he wants in side cash to redo your trans at his house if you brought him just...

I hear as one nears retirement, their hearing and sight start to get fuzzy. :) One in a million chance to get one over on the most knowledgeable Cummins guy on this board, or more....

Try not to do 17 single sentence posts in a row. Yes, return lines typically go the bottom of tank as well. It is advisable if the entire fuel system is air-free, including the return line. This keeps it full of fuel, all the way back to the injection pump. It is also quieter this way (no...

Ted, you are terrible at marketing. Ted’s tubes are full stainless including the top male JIC fitting, and available as plug-and-play, custom length, or extra long (cut to fit). Available for suction and/or return sides. TIG welded construction. Look like they belong on the space shuttle...

The transducer atop the lift pump is for the diagnostic tool only. It is a known leak point over time. Best to remove and discard, cap port. ”Cranks easily” is the worst way to quantify battery health. That is what causes people to keep using batteries more than 5 years old, and the voltage...

I think you’re scared of the Barbie Jeeps.

Wow, that’s crazy. At least you won’t get any speeding tickets.

What makes you think the stock injector angle from Cummins is not good? MRAP charge air cooler should be OK, as an ISL engine equipped MRAP was 400hp.

The engine draws fuel off the top of the filters, this is so any water settles to the bottom and is not utilized. So, it only takes a whif of air and it loses prime. You have changed a lot of stuff. New doesn't always mean good. There is more than one person here who also could not find...
