That thing is totally knarly. I think you should buy it. Side window is not the sexiest thing I have seen, but besides that, how can 8 tires and a crane not be cool?

Calibrated torch?

Chisels are on sale at Harbor Freight. Just sayin'.....but not the 8 sided ones.:driver::driver:

Why is everybody pissing in everybody else's Cornflakes lately? For once everybody is not mad at my sarcasm? I'm nearly offended. I have heard the calibrated chisel thing before though, so I'm only awarding half credit on that one. Torquing tapered wheel bearings is a garage approximation...

Plasma only exists in non-natural states.

Ummm, move the bottle out of reach there bro....(Shire)

Info like this is really beneficial. In addition to the common rebuild mis-hap of incorrect air line swapping to the T-case itself, something like this comes from real experience of playing with this stuff.

Interesting on both points. Let's see what arrives and go from there. Cute video on the lathe. If I oil my tailstock slides and then lean on it to give it a gradual continuous push toward the chuck, it should work nearly same as they show. I'd much rather drill and tap on the lathe, as I...

Thanks. It is, and it is at work so I don’t have to store or pay for it. I bought these used with my work budget for near scrap value. We do one off modification work on existing parts, so CNC did not make a lot of sense. If there is anything I can help anybody do by using them, I’d be...

Mill also.

gr is nearly spot on. It is a LeBlond, just a pinch smaller.

Nope.

Yep, she’s a steam engine.

Conventional civilian alternator bracket for the 8.3L. This is about a $100 from any Cummins dealer. Can occasionally be found for less on eBay.

Tailstock is way too heavy for a tap to be pulling it, even fully unbolted and especially when starting, it would pull the threads out.

Make sure it is not just water vapor boiling out. I'd do a compression or leak-down test on all 6 cylinders before you rip the engine apart. The compression testing tool is only like $20 to buy, it is a hollowed out injector body with a quick connect on the end. I have a new one I would loan...

I'd be all sorts of jealous. I started down the path of that exact engine, absolutely love the sound, and who doesn't love 500hp? My somethings get bigger just thinking about having a turbo and supercharger. Not sure it can mounted full right between the frame rails like an in-line engine...

I think you have an injector stuck open from heating them or lash too tight on rockers. Fuel usually helps to keep them cool. Turned up fuel really only comes into play on transitions and then wide open throttle (total rack travel). If you only adjusted the top fuel screw, that is just...

Not sure, I removed the entire thing from an 8.3L that it was on. Pump, gear, nut, pump brace, and injector lines. Was going to use it then tripped over the ISL. Rare for a pump to be bad, especially on just one cylinder. Will be interesting to see the cause of this. Could do a...

Bolts right up as long as it is from an 8.3L. The 5.9L ones will also fit and work, but utilize an external oil supply line. Easy either way. P pump can exceed 400hp of fuel flow in near stock trim.
