    Cummins 6CTA8.3 Injection Timing

    The data plate on mine says 8 degrees. That is the same data plate that has the ESN, so I wouldn't expect a different answer unless I am missing something. The Cummins dealership by me said they would advance the timing to the maximum amount allowed per my engine CPL. Upon calling them...

    M923A2 Aquisition

    There is an M939 LWS hardtop in the SS classifieds right now (MI). Not cheap, but if you have to have it, it looks to be a factory piece. I added storage and tool boxes to my 925A2 bed that do not interfere with the troop seats. Check my posts under "What have you done to your 5 ton this...

    They tried to kick my truck out of the neighborhood!

    I'd go dollars to donuts that one of the neighbors that approached you and talked about the truck was the person to submit the complaint. You can't find out unless you know somebody in the city system. Neighbor came up, said it was cool, asked if it is a friends or yours, and once you said it...

    Cummins 6CTA8.3 Injection Timing

    Your charge air cooler looks great. Let us know which one it was, looks like it fits like a glove. Also, how did you attach it? Looks like it bolts to the radiator tanks, but I must be seeing it wrong. Any hood closure issues or does it fit? On the timing, I have a Cummins dealer that says...

    Using wrecker CTIS controller on other trucks?

    Is there any public or known know-how on this? Software, connection cable, procedure, parameters that can be calibrated, etc... Thanks.

    925A2 New Paint, Thanks WildChild467 !!!

    WildChild467's Work WildChild467 is an M35A2 member, but he took it upon himself to paint my 925A2 for me. All I did was drop it off at his house. Just wanted to show off his work and give a shout out to his abilities and fabulous job. You guys are lucky to have him in your dugout. Thanks...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I see I'm not the only one who bought the Harbor Freight magnetic cup holder (toolbox section of store). At least you painted yours green, mine is still red.

    M35A2 + 6-71T Detroit Diesel 2 Stroker Marriage ???

    Interesting, thanks for the quick math. So the M35A2 trans must be OD in top gear. None of those speeds are really worth the work. I could possibly hook to the M35A2 trans. I believe the 6-71 is governed to 2600rpm. That with an addition of 11.00's may work. Not sure if the trans could...

    M35A2 + 6-71T Detroit Diesel 2 Stroker Marriage ???

    LDT/S is 48" long, 41" tall, and 1600lbs. Source: http://www.boyceequipment.com/#!engines/c18ta 6-71 is 56" long, 52" tall, and 2200lbs. Source: http://www.barringtondieselclub.co.za/detroit/6-71detroit.html I think the length is do-able, but the height of almost a foot taller is huge by the...

    M35A2 + 6-71T Detroit Diesel 2 Stroker Marriage ???

    The 7 speed Spicer is 1:1 in top gear, and is not a narrow case. It is what came in the OTR truck, which was a 1982 C9500 GMC tandem axle tractor. No aux boxes on the rear of trans. Not sure if the tandems had anything, no switches on the shift lever. You guys need to think more...

    M35A2 + 6-71T Detroit Diesel 2 Stroker Marriage ???

    So, I don't belong in the 2.5 forum because I only owned one for a week and had the chance to double my money on it, so I did. But it was a total riot, and I wanted more of it. With that, I went and bought an M925A2. But, upon doing so, I met a fellow enthusiast (WildChild467) that is fairly...

    M923A2 Replacement Stickers (Labels)

    What he said. The re-pop ones I just bought were less than desired also. Seems like they were made on a home printer with very weak adhesive. Not original color, etc.... I appreciate their effort, but it was not what I was looking for.

    Detroit Diesel 6-71 Pic, Factory Turbo and Super Charged

    It is a knarly design. It has crankcase oil and the oiling system is same as any 4 stroke engine. But, it has ported cylinders for intake and exhaust valves in the head. The blower is required to push the fresh air in which pushes the exhaust out. Has 3 rocker arms per cylinder, the center...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    The H4 conversion is such an awesome upgrade. I highly recommend this over LED. For just a pinch more $, you can get genuine Hella globes and bulbs, and everything in front you becomes daylight, even with legal rated bulbs.
