    5 ton 12v 5.9 repower?

    I agree. For the cost of things in the end doin one hole is way cheaper. If your unsure pull the pan and look at the liners, you'll see which one(s) are damaged. Plus all that metal will need to be cleaned out. I would recommend checking the liner and see if it dropped before pulling it out...

    5 ton 12v 5.9 repower?

    Lots of parts for the 250 around. Such as from Interstate Mcbee or IPD Diesel for liners/rings/bearings/pistons/seals/gaskets and many reman parts. They are aftermarket but waaaaaaay better priced then from Cummins. I got a entire in-frame kit for my Cat for $2500 vs from Cat which was outrageous.

    5 ton 12v 5.9 repower?

    5 ton 12v 5.9 repower?

    8.3's have wet liners. The have one o-ring for sealing. 5.9/6.7's are parent bore designed. IIRC you can bore out 0.030" on the b models and run oversize pistons/rings if they get scored. I also believe you can run a dry liner as a final solution for a scored hole as well but I have never seen...

    5 ton 12v 5.9 repower?

    I found a solution for running a intercooler. I'm replacing the whole rad for a setup Peterbilt/International does on some of their new trucks. Its a half(rad bottom)/half(CAC top) design stacked on top of each other. I measured it and it should fit fine and still provide cooling/intercooling...

    5 ton 12v 5.9 repower?

    I think with a 12v you'd burn alot of fuel to move a 5 ton. Even with twins, injectors and a done up P7100. I wouldn't trust the dodge auto behind it for that amount of weight lol. The Cat 3406B I got lined up into mine is a huge repower project but 425 HP stock is worth the work. You can have...
