An 8.3L with an air tight fuel suction system doesn't even need two group 31's. But, it is one of the most economical ways to get 12v @ $100 each.

Too many amps.

Two group 31's is all you will need. Especially with an 8.3L in good state of tune. No crimping needed. Frees up a ton of underseat room. Make sure charging system works well, replace them every 5 years, and you'll never need to lift the seat.

@ 1200ft-lb's, we'll find out. Possible MT654CR for sale, needs work. No strings attached.

Does the stock Cummins 250 PT pump has a provision to add fuel under boost? I would guess not, and you are just pouring more fuel in?

Should not care, and that is where I am headed with it. Route the cable inside, and connect it to the pedal arm.

Still learning. The ISL comes with steel dome topped 2 piece pistons. There goes EGT concerns. Was wondering how they squeeze 400-450hp from a stroked 8.3L, reliably. I really need to figure out how to retain and pull my transmission modulator cable when using an electronic accelerator pedal.

No chit. High speed modern technology parts man!

Turbo will not make positive boost until you are driving it. Try Will's method.

Nice tune. EGT actually seems a pinch cool?

Thanks. Heard may need to do same with turbo actuator?

Hopefully you did not put a mil one back on?

Spot on. Found it. Looks like maybe try a historical way or apply as a business with less than 3 trucks, or keep it registered out of state, or...? https://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/onrdiesel/onrdiesel.htm So, about that 250 turbo power up....

It will pass the laws of the emission generation it was manufactured. In my case, it will be a 2005 engine, in a 1990 truck. But, I think emission laws are based off the vehicle mfg date, and not the engine? Interesting case though. If for some reason your area requires a sniffer test, then...

You should have Ben paint your drums. Look how much better his appears. Don't let infidelgotme help. He uses himself as the jack stand while under the vehicle. Ask him about it.

Because I am waiting for a clutch for it. HA! Secured trans when it became available. Plan was always to install it once the MT654CR goes south. New engine may shorten it's time remaining. Engine will go in even though 6CTA8.3 is alive and well, but I gave the seller a lot of time to pull...

Swap out the old dinosaur engine with something more modern. It can be done cheaper than you think. I am doing it to my M925a2. I just bought a 24 valve common rail Cummins ISL motorhome engine for a song, much less than what people here spend trying to hop theirs up and then battle smoke and...

I didn't check the tread timing. I am usually able to easily embarrass myself that way, yet I still don't learn and keep doing it! Ugh!

I don't know why you guys chase the big batteries. Group 31 commercial semi truck batteries are $100 each new, compact, free up storage space, and work fabulous. The military over-battery'd these trucks and added solar to be able to sit in the arctic for long periods unused, and still be able...

Maxx, I'm in Livonia with my M925a2. I can stop by after I am back from Japan this weekend and we can get it fired up quickly. I know the 8.3's pretty good now. They are a stout engine, but the low pressure fuel delivery systems are very weak on them. Age them 25 years and they become even...
