Truck with 290 cummins. Has injector pump from 335. Not so easy to swap with 250 cummins, which threw a rod out the side, tearing starter off at -20 degrees. Moved air cleaner to right side. No room for heater yet.
Put all new fuel filter system with new lines. New oil filter system. Boiled radiator and flushed transmission cooler, was needed. Should be done on any surplus truck. Put in correct anti freeze.
Added EGT. Runs up up to 925.
Transmission is shifting great.
I took the washer out so the shift does not engage front wheels in low range.
Appears that capacitor for transfer case shift is bad. Have 24 volt to capacitor, no juice leaving capacitor. Had a bare wire and shorted from lever switch at floor board one time. Capacitor is under floorboard, under transfer case lever handle when lever is down. Where can I get a new one? I can shift lever if I hit brakes until air goes down.
Also batteries would run down at night. If I take the 12 volt [569] and 24 volt [6B] small wires loose from battery, then batteries stay up. Would bad capacitor drain batteries?
Is heater fan the only 12 volt use.
