    What's your best 'that was dumb' moment involving your 5 ton?

    Don't use cinder blocks as a jack stand. This one almost cost me my life. I was only using the cinder block for a few seconds while I shimmed the bottle jack with 4x4's

    8.3 injector cleaning or replacement

    Will you're a savior again. I will pull the injectors and take them down to United for advice.

    Simp's Cat 7155 Swap into a M923A1

    I can't tell from the video, but it looks like the rpm drop between gears is 4-500 rpm. I would have though the gears would be a lot closer in ratio.

    8.3 injector cleaning or replacement

    I went on a 400mile round trip this weekend to Pismo Beach, CA. The truck ran awesome and did great in the sand, M931a2 with a M105 trailer. At idle there is a grey haze and the EGT's are really high at 1000 degrees just cruising 55mph on a flat freeway. I want to try to clean my injectors but...

    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    If the trans downshifts and you are above the max RPM for the gov springs, it will cut your fuel until the RPM drop.

    M105A2 on highway payload

    My only worry would be the tires. The COG being so high, the trailer will want to sway and that will add stress to the tires. I've had 4500 lbs of gravel in mine and it pulled fine behind my pickup truck. A tire blowout would end your fun day

    Timing, EGT's and boost

    Stock boost is probably somewhere around 15-18. The only way to increase boost is to increase fuel delivery aka turning up the pump. These trucks don't have a wastegate so fuel flow is the only method.

    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    I got mine from Ebay. I was a little nervous installing them because of the thin washers but it wasn't tat bad and only took 20 min. http://www.ebay.com/itm/12-Valve-P7100-Injection-Pump-3K-and-4K-Governor-Spring-Kit-for-94-98-Dodge-5-9-/281336091818?hash=item4180f014aa:g:zXYAAOSw6dNWTjej&vxp=mtr

    If you go too many clicks on the gov springs you loose the ability to control idle speed. The gov spring kit fixes that Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Cummins 6CTA8.3 Injection Timing

    Just a taper, no key or splines. You'll also need some timing tape or you can print your own here. I think the pulley is 8.75? diameter which is 225.25 mm. https://www.blocklayer.com/timing-tape.aspx

    Cummins 6CTA8.3 Injection Timing

    The gear is bigger than the hole. All you can do is use a gear puller to remove the gear from the taper but not remove the gear from the housing, or loosed the IP mounting nuts and knock the IP back a 1/2" or so.

    M105A2 and a Yamaha Rhino UTV

    Anyone fit a side by side into a 105 bed? It looks like you'd have to drive up over the fenders and remove the tarp and bows due to the height

    Cummins 6CTA8.3 Injection Timing

    I'm trying to wrap my head around this and an stuck. A few months ago I attempted to advance the IP timing 6 more degrees(14 total) but after I was done I kept wondering if I retarded the timing by mistake. After driving the truck I didn't notice any more power and my EGT's seem high, like 900...

    2017 SoCal Summer Rally Aug, 4-6 Big Bear California San Bernardino Mtns. camping

    Nice to have met everyone, I had a great time. Other than a rear axle seal leak and the brakes locking up on my 105, the truck ran great. I kept forgetting to take pics but here is what I have. Oh yea, I want a rematch on giant Jenga

    2017 SoCal Summer Rally Aug, 4-6 Big Bear California San Bernardino Mtns. camping

    I'm fixing a few small things this week and will likely head up Friday afternoon. Couple quick questions. 1. Is there any chance of shooting? Just need to know if I should pack a few guns or not. 2. If you look on google maps at Big Pine Flat Family Campground, how far away will...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I know it's ugly, but do you think it will lower egt's and keep the filer minder from going to the red? I just hope I don't catch any birds lol This is just temporary to see if it helps with airflow

    Ownership Costs - Reality

    rtk is right. A big expense for me was purchasing a bunch of replacement parts and keeping them on the truck. A tow back home can cost $1,000 and leaving the truck on the side of the road until its fixed isn't an option for me. Trying to anticipate what's gonna break is tuff

    Any idea if these are safe at high speeds. 65mph? They are cheap and could be useful
