    Torque rod emergency repair

    Try a chain and binder around the mount just below the separated end. You may need to jack up one side of the rear axle, then release the brakes in neutral to get any bind out of the drive train. It also may be possible to carefully torque the axle housing around with the brakes set using the...

    2.5 ton vs 5 ton engines

    I don’t think an 8.3 non turbo was ever put in a 5ton. Not sure if an 8.3na was ever even produced? You’re probably mistaken the M939 series nhc250 for the 6cta8.3 in the M939a2

    Reusable hydraulic fittings on wreckers

    I just made an interesting observation on both of my A2‘s, but they are not wreckers. 90% of the rubber lines or braided, air, power steering transmission are reusable fittings. However, all of the hydraulic lines that I can see for the winch system on my M925 are all crimp fittings.

    Reusable hydraulic fittings on wreckers

    I think the top link is all irrelevant stuff, FMTV hydraulic cab lift, and jacketed air lines… @Mullaney s wrecker looks like a mixture with the uppers being reusable, likely replaced the crimp hose in the “field” by the motor pool guys when his cover was smashed? @Csm Davis may have some...

    Reusable hydraulic fittings on wreckers

    Bump up the threads you’re reading with reusable fittings, or drop a link here, and we can try tracking down who maybe able to answer this question.

    Weapons mount

    Not sure if it’s the correct vehicle or not, but they have a couple of these sitting around down in Ft Pierce that you could maybe check out?

    Cummins NHC 250 versus Cummins 6CTA8.3

    Been a long time since we had this question, everyone knows the 8.3 is better! I think all the 250 guys got their popcorn taken away and banned from the site. Now on the serious side we kinda need to know how you plan on using the truck? Mostly highway, a lot of off road, mostly crane work, or...

    M35a2 engine

    C series cummins, 6b big brother. A serious garbage truck/school bus motor. If it will fit, It’ll be a fun! Don’t rule out the IH dt360 garbage bus motor as well, there a dime a dozen, and make the 5.9 “IH Cumins” guys heads explode.

    True failure rates of the 6CTA8.3L injector pump?

    Well crap, wasn’t thinking clearly, the vents are 1/4” dot tube! Mine are out of a lot of Alkon brand made in Brazil that I’ve had around forever. Probably bought from New Life Transport, not sure if either still exist though? Also they separate easily with just your fingers. If you get one you...

    True failure rates of the 6CTA8.3L injector pump?

    Hopefully a clearer view of my setup. I keep it and an air hose to run off my glad hand in my truck at all times.

    Electrical Issues

    It was probably a tiny diode what “went away” when something was connected wrong.

    True failure rates of the 6CTA8.3L injector pump?

    Yes, just a razor and couple 1/4” push connector is all you need. Regulator is nice so you don’t rupture your tank.

    Sorry, forgot to hit reply so you have a better chance of getting a notification.

    Electrical Issues

    So your problem should be the bottom solenoid or associated wiring in the PCB, or the PCB itself is not getting ground. I’m not seeing the wire on the terminal In circled in yellow, it should be going to ground.

    Rate this front bumper modification...

    Yep, especially on a gun truck where you likely have to quickly push one of your own. Would also want some good reinforcement to keep it from just folding under.

    True failure rates of the 6CTA8.3L injector pump?

    Still a handful of things to check after that before just writing the ip off.
