The Delco may be made in Mexico, so at least you can claim North American. Mitsubishi has alternator manufacturing in the US, Japan, etc.... Most of the Cummins engine castings occur outside of the US, majority being India and Brazil, etc, but, the oarts are finished and engine assembled in...
Worked a 16 hour day today with internet access for less than a total of 60 seconds, just got home. Responding to SS is not priority #1 while at my real job. Apology, but reality.
If you don't have any additional loads added, the stock one is OK. Or, you can use a 4ga-6ga automotive starter cable from the alt to the starter. Don't go larger than 4ga, as it is just excessive weight and stress in the alternator stud and cable terminal. Support and protect any added wires...
Have that part covered, thanks for offering. But, I am looking for competitive pricing on a five station D-05 hydraulic manifold, with four D-05 24VDC directional control solenoid valves (front and rear hydro winches, dump, aux, and spare), and one block off plate, if anybody has connections...
They extended this sale for one more day to include today if anybody wants. Code is same.
You can get a complete 5 ton scissor hoist kit with pump for $830. Telescopic cylinders for $250, belt driven clutch pump for $400 (fits on the A/C bracket I sell), etc....
Bailey Hydraulics has 40% off and free shipping today if anybody needs hydro parts. It finally motivated me to buy the two 90" stroke, 3 stage, 7 ton, 4" telescopic cylinders I want to make my M925A2 a dump. Going a different path, and will mount them outboard of the frame rails at an angle...
Series 60 engine is a nice piece. First OTR truck engine to normally see 1 million miles before rebuild. Great power, cold starting, etc... Oil pan is nylon/fiberglass, pretty slick. Engine control computer on the latest DD15's and such are liquid cooled by incoming diesel fuel. Can get...
I'm of a little different opinion, but that is typically the case. I replace batteries at the 5 year mark, whether working or not. You could save the charger money and switch to 2 new group 31's for $100ea and free up some space at the same time. $200 total cost, minus what the scrap yard or...
Another member here had an issue with the lever-to-shaft splines. Check closely and see if that is OK.
simp, nice support. We may end up keeping you around.
The fuel line is suction (vacuum) from tank to pump, then open ended return from injection pump back to tank. I would say the more important characteristics would be ability for low level suction, and temperature resistance since the fuel is heated during operation. The soft lines permeate air...
The "let the turbo cool" applies more to gasoline engine that runs a much higher EGT. Diesel is cooler EGT, and even today's gasoline turbos are coolant cooled to allow quick shut off with minimal coking.
I think Will is spot on here. Your EGT is going to be cool going to Home Depot to...
You silly rabbits, Trix are for kids. The mystery wire should feed the low side heater blower (12v). Factory alternators on these were unreliable when new, and worse yet at 25 years old or whatever. Ask grandma to run a stress test and see what happens. Your alternator wiped out from the...
