Relax you two, I just finished the rod link ends like 6hrs ago...

Done. 12 new ends, with retainer plates bolted to all. Very happy with the way it turned out. I’m not the first that has done it, but I am another that did it. Who’s next?

Old rod end shell with a slit cut in it worked perfect to push all the shells out of the rod ends with the press. Also, the spacing and strength of a Harbor Freight 20 ton press is perfect for doing this job.

What’s a TM?

Knick knack paddy-whack, give your dog a bone....

In process now. All 6 rods off and 12 link ends pressed out. Offest striking wrench worked, no spring pack disassembly. Put it on and pulled it rearward with the forklift and strap. 2-1/4” end wrench pushed up by a floor jack. This job will make a man out of you, but it is going well with...

Will knows his way around Cummins engines better than any 10 people here. I’d take what he says over the manual. If you are still in doubt, I can send you this, just send it back when done. Magnaflux crack checker. Or buy it from your local Grainger or online, it is not expensive.

I knew you were an Aqua-Net kind of guy. Knew it.

"Shoe smeller" was classy (from on oyster eater), and then the bomb bay doors opened.....

Replacing all 12 torque-rod (dog bone) end links this weekend, preparing tools now. Anybody know the nut size hold the rear leaf spring pack together? I may need to take this apart to get to the upper center link end castle nuts. Not enough time to cut them off and replace, so they will be...

PM sent to you, guy that buys rebuildable diesel engine cores. I bought a Jake brake setup for a Cummins ISL from him, unbeatable price, and included every single nut/bolt/washer/solenoid/wire/valve cover/etc that was needed to make it work. In several seconds, I found several used heads for...

I have 2 RFQ's (Request For Quote) out for a used 8.3L cylinder head right now for you. Should have prices for you tomorrow. Check the website I posted also if you have not already. The price should be much less than what you posted. Few members here had genuine rebuild kits for $1,000...

You're doing a great job. Looks like you'll need a replacement used head, cylinder kits, gasket set, and may as well do rod bearings since you will have them apart. It is not too hard to sneak crank main bearings in also if you want, or pull one main cap and see what one lower main bearing...

Wow, that motor is lunched.

Trying to keep the radar on for failure cases of them, but don’t see much. Many people using them. May even be better than the genuine thing, the voltage regulator quit in the genuine Delco I was benchmarking, in my avatar pic, less than 1 year old of hobby use. Soldered a replacement in, and...

They are low cost enough new, to not be using used ones. They are a limited life part. I would have to look to confirm, but the neutral switch should be tied into the dash starter switch circuit, and not the “after” the PCB, as there would be no reason to run higher under hood current through...

There is a solenoid in the PCB that controls this signal, and may he bad, even if you do or do not hear it clicking when actuated. Start there is you have not yet. They are readily abailable and not difficult to replace.
