Dang John, you really don’t have anything to do, do you? Lol seems like every time I check my email to see if anyone has replied to the thread, you’ve already been in here and liked posts lol Will, thanks for the tips! So one end of the 1/2” dowel is radius’d and split? Or is it just split...

Does anyone have personal experience pulling the radiator or camshaft? It looks like there’s only three bolts holding the radiator in place but im sure that's not right. How hard is it to pull the cam with tappets still in place? I want to inspect the cam and tappets to be sure I don’t have to...

Why don’t we trade phone #’s since I know it’s hard to get you through PMs lol text/call me at 928 350 9048 (Leon)

Sad thing is, there’s only 15k on the odometer. I’m half tempted to get the rest of the stuff to do a full rebuild.

Head is finally off, wasn’t too hard, just had to fit with the exhaust pipe. Cylinders #5 & #6 are the worst, there is moderate damage on #3 piston, and none on any of the others. Two valve seats are destroyed, both are on #5 & #6. Every single cylinder is cracked between the valve seats...

Got to work on the engine today, pulled a few parts off. I’m almost down to the head, but it started getting too hot and I was baking on top of the truck. When it cools off I’ll do a little more after I eat some dinner.

My issue was twofold, my governor was set too low (basically just at the shift point) and my fuel trim screw was also set low. I’m fairly certain it had never been touched before I did it. I adjusted both (probably too much) and it woke the motor up like a big beast. I have a hill on the...

Finally got the hood off, now starts the real work.

That’s my thoughts too. Although I did look and I found a full set of the correct piston kits for $300 so I’ll probably go that route instead. Rather be safe than sorry.

Don’t worry, I’ll be doing a side by side comparison before I make any decisions. I can only hope, but my luck is never like that unfortunately.

Thanks for the info, I’ll have to see what the options are before I do anything then.

Yes, the hood comes off. If I could’ve figured out another solution that would pack up like this one will and allowed me to not have to pull the hood off I would’ve done it. I wanted something that I could use the truck frame to do the heavy lifting and still pack up easily after I’m done using...

Finally got the front mount made for HF crane. Once I’m done coping and grinding the steel for the ISO frame I’ll start on the engine rebuild.

Finally finished building the front bumper mount for the HF crane. As soon as I finish grinding away on the C-channel and I-beam for the ISO frame I’ll start on disassembling the engine.

No, I’m making a front mount for the HF crane using one of the pairs of bumper mounts for the tow bars.

I tried a propane torch and pipe wrench, but broke the vise I was borrowing. Then I welded up 1/4” flat bar and rebar to make a “brake”. Tried it with the truck, but it wasn’t heavy enough lol I just lifted that tire. I’ll have to wait till I get back from my brothers place to try the neighbor’s...

Will, 24P-1 says PN 3908750, QS says 3919565 (alt #s 3919930,3923164,3802398 ), and what I have on hand is a 3929161. Still no reply from Cummins yet on the piston kit compatibility. I did find an image that referenced 3908750 & 3923164 together, but still nothing for the PN that I have...

Which direction you headed? I’m about 90 mi west of you if you’re headed that way and want to stop by.

I still haven’t heard back from the guy at Cummins yet. Been working on making the front mount but I doubt that I’ll finish it till next month. Got leave for NV in a few days to go help my brother with his engine rebuild.
