Yep, tell him the trans is lunched, and offer him half.

Well, they are not very tight then, or the crankshaft is falling out of your truck...

There are 4 perimeter bolts which fasten the balancer/pulley to the crankshaft on 8.3L/ISC engines. 5 bolts are used on an ISL (8.9) engine, this is how one identifies the longer stroker crank/motor. Look closely at the picture I posted, it is from the free Cummins engine parts website using...

Control head, 30k vs 60k comparison, and 30k neatly installed in an M809/M35a2 cab using the stock defrost diverter box. Realistically, you adjust cab temp via how far the window is down. Several others here know much more about these than I. Cranetruck and gimpyrobb are 2 super experts in...

I have several, NOS, complete in wood crates with heater, control box, wiring, fuel pump/filter, and exhaust. Send $. On your own for brackets, I don't have the NSN for them anymore. Unbelievably nice feature. Get in the truck, start the heater, enjoy warm air, start the engine, and go...

Here is an example of one installed onto an M939 series. Takes place of the heater core box and fan, it is an arctic accessory. I have this same setup, not installed yet. The correct M939 brackets to fit this 30,000BTU fuel fired heater to the heater core mounts are rare to find used, I had a...

Above all the cold start stuff, I'd recommend to replace all 12 of your rear axle torque rod end joints if you have not yet, especially if you plan to keep doing as your avatar pic displays. I've taken mine to simple off-road excursions, and a different one has been jumping off each time. My...

People with good memories scare me.

Tell him to call you when he has it driving correctly.

Pulley looks to be a direct piece to the crank. Are you sure the balancer has slipped? It can and does happen, but even if so, should not chew up the belt unless it is contacting it. Did you spin all of the accessory pulleys while the belt was off to check for ease of rotation, and wiggle...

Welding threads always turn into a pen1s contest.

Coolant heaters work great but take a long time. Nobody wants to listen to a low cost (loud) generator run if they don’t have to. The 8.3L should start well if the fuel suction side is completely renewed, from dip tube to injection pump. Ether works instantly, even if sprayed in the snorkle...

Yes, it has milled flats on it same as the stock injectors, so uses the same retention clamp.

Not sure where your height is the issue, be it knees or head. These trucks have low interior ceiling, so I guessed that was it. The defrost is selected by a simple diverter box under the pass side dash. There are 3 or so cloth hoses attached to this, some or all of them may be ripped or...

It is only two 24v solenoids inside. One for the starter, and one for dash power. Cole-Hersee makes them. If it has a small circuit board inside, this is simply to prevent re-engagement of the starter once the engine is running. I am rebuilding mine, and then making an emergency jumper...

Use a leak down / compression test adapter for the 8.3L engine. It is a hollowed out injector with a removable Schrader valve in the end. Very low cost tool...

Air seat will allow you to lower it. You may not need a dome light after you learn where all the controls are. Fuel fired heater blows hot and hard with no warm up time. I have one for sale if you want. I prefer not to block the rear window, and I like a bench seat on the pass side for more...

Find the leak first so you don’t waste your time.

I’ve seen this exact thing happen. Getting the tension right on that shaft is a science. Even the wrong O rings can make it happen. Post it in the Deuce forum, those engines are way more prevelant there. They will guide you to fixing it right.
