    What do you build?

    No, he means an "M67" which is a military fuel fired heater designed to heat 30 or 50 gallon drums of liquid. It basically looks like a 4" stove pipe that drips liquid into the bottom and burns. I think it is rated at 30k or 35k BTU: http://www.military-tent.com/imheunco.html I calculated...

    M925 transmission

    Strong enough for a man, but made for a woman. Also helpful if your ride is smelly.

    Fuel Filter Change Procedure... Please double check me?!

    His frame mounted canister filter was replaced with a spinner. Your procedure looks ok. IP bleed bolt is 10mm head and located on the front-inboard side of the pump. Once expelling here, close the bolt, and with additional pumps, you should be able to hear the IP overflow relieving pressure...

    M925 transmission

    Oil on a tailgate is almost always a pinion seal, at least in my experience. Your loss of power could be fuel filters. Loss of pull in 1st and not enough omph to reach 5th. Replace fuel filters, blow out air filter with compressed air, and try again. Check intermediate and rear axle...

    What do you build?

    Wood fired barrel heater worked awesome this weekend! It raised a 450 gallon pallet tote full of water 5F degrees every 13 minutes. That equates to about 75,000BTU as absorbed through the 42' of copper tube within the barrel. Family of 4 stayed in it for over 2 hours as it was 20F outside...

    m923a2 Turbo/Boost problem.

    It is not a boost problem. The truck is starving for fuel. Replace both fuel filters (if you have the frame mounted one). Also check the boost reference line going into the injection pump, some have had leaks which will under-fuel the engine during such conditions. You could also install a...

    Custom Making LED Light Bar for M939

    Took the 50" and 20" extruded light bar housings into the TIG welder today to be combined. He quoted a week, just FYI. Gives me time to start considering mounting options using the windshield frame vs cab roof sides. Can't wait to get it back, assemble, and mount it. Looks easy to do a flip...

    12v plug addition in my m923

    Uh oh. You posted an eBay link. There goes your feedback score. A few minutes from now, you'll be toasted by the authorities, unless you can quickly remove it before they find it (doubt it). Easiest way is to alligator clip a cigarette lighter outlet to one battery. They make them. I used...

    What do you build?

    I think the heat input rate will be too high, and dictate pump usage, which is what I designed it for (inlet and outlet at same level). I don't see a point of a temperature/pressure relief valve, unless somebody can paint a clear picture of something I'm not considering (not being mean here)...

    Got my first deuce in Michigan

    You told me Bundy Hill licked, and Mounds was better. You OK Jerry?

    What do you build?

    Well aware, and appreciated. That is why there are no valves on it to let pressure build. Open system, with temp monitoring on the inlet, outlet (this one especially important), and flue pipe. Water flow rate will be 22GPM between the heater and the pallet tote full of water. If the pump...

    What do you build?

    I thought I would bring another to the table, though it is not welding or sanding. It is not really CNC level either like some of you cool cats, but we'll see what happens. I just built a wood fired water heater for an outdoor hot tub. 55 gallon drum, 5 sticks of copper tube, some expanded...

    Custom Making LED Light Bar for M939

    Made the housing cut to combine today. So when disassembled, each LED light module is exactly 10" long, and contains 20 lights (10 in each 2 row). Each reflector is 2"x2" (4 reflectors per cube), so there are 5 reflectors on each light module. The reflectors are available as spot or flood...

    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    It comes with them, I bought the same GSK and have not installed them yet. If I remember correctly, it says to measure the stock retainer height first, remove and swap springs while leaving the inner one (?), and then set the retainer height to the same as original, say 0.050" for example...

    m939a2 starting problem in cold weather

    Sounds correct, needs ether at these temps to cold fire. I don't think you have anything wrong.

    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    You could also consider other higher hp engines besides the ISX, such as a Detroit 8V92, Series 60, or Cummins 400hp 855. They can be had for a more reasonable cost, but they are all heavyweights that add a lot of mass over an 8.3L.

    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    If you still want more after you have turned the fuel up, I'd suggest installing a used Cummins ISX 15L. It would be a lower cost and more reliable path to 500hp once you have the 6CTA8.3 at the 300hp mark. Additional power increases beyond fuel rate increasing is best found on tractor pulling...

    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    Maybe I think you are mistakenly calling your 923A2 a Deuce? The answer to your question is in the pages of this thread. Grab your favorite drink and go at it. Let us know if you have further questions after doing so.
