    Adding inexpensive Bosch turbo boost gauge

    Thanks. I'm not sure about the winch control panel. It was there when I got it, but there is no winch. Not for long, anyway lol

    How to add an EGT gauge with a PID

    My engine is stock. I think that it is particularly important to watch the temps on a 290 hp 3116 or a 3126 at max hp. There is a somewhat linear relationship between boost and EGT's, from what I have seen. The temp may not go down for 3-5 seconds of backing off the throttle. I am still...

    Adding inexpensive Bosch turbo boost gauge

    How to add an EGT gauge with a PID

    The 3116 and 3126 are good engines, but they do not have the water cooled cylinder sleeves. Therefore, they are less forgiving of intense exhaust heat which could easily lead to a dropped valve, melted pistons, etc., which leads to a catastrophic engine failure.

    Yes, change that transmission fluid!

    Yes, you can use 15W50 or so engine oil. This is what the military wanted, not what your expensive Allison 3000 series transmission wants. Your oil may be well-oxidized and worn by now. There are two filters. I shopped and found a WIX filter. Turns out Wix is OEM. Bought closeout 2 filter pack...

    Finally found heavy service and technical manuals for the CAT 3116 !

    I have searched everywhere for CAT technical manuals. The CAT dealer will be happy to sell you some for big bucks. Being the frugal guy I am, I searched everywhere. I found a website in NZ that has a membership fee of $19.00 for 1 week, where you can download the major manuals for this engine...

    Auxillary electric fan possible?

    CFM will be around what the Cummins drop in fan kit for the Ram truck needs. Be careful with Chinese made fans with inaccurate CFM. I looked at converting, then stopped after looking at the complexity of the fan clutch and air system.
