    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    Also, on a separate note, I have adjusted 3 of the 4 you mentioned, pre-boost fuel, fuel rack and gov springs. If you open the fuel all the way, you will melt the motor. I have 3 threads showing on the rack and a couple turns out on the pre boost. Huge improvement and still usable power but...

    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    Did you re prime the system? The MW pump can be a pain to prime if you drained a lot of fuel. Overflow/return line wont cause the truck to not start.

    Hello from New York

    I honestly dont remember. I would have to dig out the title and look. I would leave it blank and let the DMV check what they think is appropriate.

    Hello from New York

    Registration depends on your use. If going to be a private and personal use truck, I recommend the historical plates. Thats how I have my 923a2 registered. If your making money with the truck, then its another story. Surprisingly there are no mileage restrictions for historical plates. NYS...

    Seeking input on dump bed project

    Both trucks are the same besides frame length. If your going to do the dump bed install your self, I would keep the 925 and go from there. Its much easier to shorten a frame than it is to lengthen one. You just have to slide the tandem forward. Plus you already have the truck. Or a 931...

    pyrometer probe location

    This is where I have it on my truck and on countless other motors. Keep it to a max of 1200F sustained and you will be good to go! I suggest using a 1/8" NPT probe.

    Horsepower

    That works on the highway, I was referring back to OP about more ways to slow down going down a hill while off roading. Sometimes I wish I have a lower gear than 1st to help with going down hills. Sometimes you need to literally crawl down a hill at 1 to 2 mph

    8.3 Cummins fuel adjustment

    Power is very noticeable and its too much fuel for a heavily loaded truck. I have 4 threads showing on the end of the rod and she will get hot when heavy.

    Hello from New York

    Im in the middle of LI, on the Nassau Suffolk Boarder. We are heading to Rausch Creek, which is in Pine Grove PA. Its a a few hour drive for us. Maybe you can join us in the Spring and test out your new deuce!

    5 ton Top Speed

    There is no real normal, just an operating range. A normal depends on the truck, mainly pump settings and load on the truck. My 923a2 always ran strong and would hit 1200 pre turbo with some weight on it. My 931a2, was a slug and you couldnt get it above 1000F no matter what, but it was lower...

    Hello from New York

    Welcome to the club from a fellow NYer. Where in NY are you? There are many trucks for sale right now. Depending on your mechanical ability, I wouldnt put it past a private sale to get a good deal on a truck. I know a few guys locally on LI and we are heading to PA for an off roading trip...

    5 ton Top Speed

    With 53s you can cruise at 65 and push it faster if you wish. I wouldnt want to hug the rear of another truck to save a tiny bit of fuel. The brakes are good on these trucks, but stopping distance on a m939 is not a high-light of the truck. You will notice a power loss with 53s. I love...
