I'm biased also by the 8.3, since that is the only one I have ever had experience with. I bought an A2 becasue I wanted singles and CTIS. The 855 engine sounds like a real truck, the 8.3 sounds like a schoolbus (because it is). I've never even stood next to a 250 powered truck, let alone been...

Not very hard to cut in front of somebody that is asleep at the wheel.... ICEBERG - DEAD AHEAD !!! Your 8 minute later post could have saved thousands of lives.

250 engine can't pull a string out of a cats a$$...... (Quoted from member: infidel got me). A2 torque converter locks in at the top of 2nd gear. If you keep the selector in 1-2, it feels like it shifts 3 times, but is not.

Make one spin like a disco ball....

Bring it up, I'll do it. Trade you to mount my full size Volvo charge air cooler in my 925A2 like you did on yours. I have not done the timing on mine yet, but I worked out the procedure and had others check it for approval. Read up here...

A mechanical military one makes a beautiful replacement, looks stock, and works superbly better. Mine essentially follows my tachometer, even during upshifts.

With a gasoline engine, yes more rich = cooler EGT. Diesel is opposite.

It is just a mention, but he says 1100F. Post #61 on his "Fixed Wrecker Boom" build in 5t mod dept. Sorry my phone is not copying the link.

I have yet to do it, but advancing the timing supposedly lowers EGT. Member grendel has done so and claims some pretty cool numbers, even with wicked up fuel.

Not correct, because the truck traveling at 55mph is not requiring all of the engine's power to do so.

10" Bazooka tube, under seat. Not connected yet. Dropped down to two group 31 batts to do so. Coolant heater also moving to under seat, with 30k fuel fired heater in its place underhood, 60k fuel fired for bed. 2011 Grand Cherokee Garmin GPS Sat/Nav HDD radio, Alpine EQ, Alpine 5 channel...

Guessing radiator scaled up. Is the cold side hose collapsed under suction, or what is the temp difference between the two large radiator hoses? I'd drain and do a Cascade flush until fully warmed up, drain, and repeat. But, start with the difference of hose temps, and belt tightness.

Will be awesome. After 5th gear, I'll be completely lost, and like hmmmmm, what does this lever do? At the same time, going like 25mph on the freeway and watching some old dude on my phone YouTube row through 13 speeds on a non-synchro tranny with a square hanging out of his mouth, never...

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gWdJn-paVgo I keep trying to thank myself, and there is no link for such. How depressing.

The compressor comes with oil as long as it was still sealed and not spilled out. That is enough oil for the components and system it was designed for. If you added longer hoses or a larger condenser/evap, I would probably add a little more. Should be a single wire going to your compressor...

Don't give up. Have you guys checked to see what the Cummins 855 engine uses for a bracket in big trucks? Maybe it is a plug and play piece from Cummins? Was not the case for the A2 8.3 with the military accessory drive config, which is why I made the kit. Maybe I should look into this for...

May be picking up a donor 923 roller and an 8v92ta to go with it. Wolf in sheep clothing. If transfer case won't live, then we'll just dump 2 lockers in the rear and extend the prop shaft.

I don't think we are allowed to use threads as classifieds (posting prices), but I do offer the 12v alternator as WildChild indicated. It is brand new not a reman, rated at 200a, spits out 130a at idle, and is brushless. Rated for 1 million miles of usage. I will warranty it for 3 years. It...
