    Installing lockers in a 5t

    Good info, thank you. So one needs the entire axle to do this, and not just the diff? I got lost when you said to use the air locking axle housing, but you pull the diff out of it and transfer gears. I understand moving the ring gear and such over to keep your ratio, but....

    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    Star wheel did not add power, just smoke? Or am I reading that wrong. You added that much power with just the top screw and/or the star wheel?

    Installing lockers in a 5t

    I'd think about one for the front for $1000 if it was a bolt on deal and kept CTIS.

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    Me too. We checked the compression heigth from wrist pin bore to piston top, and that was the same. So, at least the low compression is not from that. Plus, that would not shoot leak down figures down the drain like they are. He just checked his lawn mower, and the leak down was like 2%......

    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    So, after reading that, I'm ready to climb out of bed and go turn my fuel rate up, in the dark, and 11F temp outside. What mods have you done? Just fuel rate?

    Sorry, paragraph formatting/spacing does not work anymore, not sure why. Now it just all gets jammed together when saved as a post. Looks proper in draft. Ugh....what's wrong with this?

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    It was my decision to use the Permatex copper head gasket spray adhesive. Before he tore his heads off, there was black motor oil running down the sides of the block at the head gasket joint, so it was an attempt by me to get an old engine to seal better. I did not know at that time that he...

    M939 cab armor kit

    If you want it to be authentic, use BBQ grill covers, sewer lids, and the like. That is what was done at first when troops were being hit and this was not being addressed initially or as it was being developed. As says the employee sitting next to me which experienced part of it on 2 tours.

    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    If you installed it into a tube, is there enough thread engagement to hold back +40psi of pressure, and reliably with vibration over time? NPT threads usually like to have a lot of meat to bite for their wedge design to work properly. I'm guessing there is only 1 thread of engagement between...

    60K Fuel Burning Heater M813

    It was rare to be used on M939 series, but was adapted to do so, is in the manuals, and a few trucks have been seen to have them. I have also seen one mounted under the dash of an M35A2 on the pass side. It requires a change of the hot air ducts to hi temp material (orange colored temp rated...
