Pointers: 1. Check your bank balance 2. Check your towing insurance 3. Alert closest SS buddies to the fact that you may need a pull :tank::tank: 4. Air up the spare 5. Get a winch, even if it's the HF 18,000 lb one 6. Bring h2o to rinse off muddy parts 7. Check the depth of what you are about...

Just a side note to this thread. The air shocks will lose some air when they are operating normally. It is not an air tight fit. I noticed that the first shock I opened up had anti-seize applied to the base of the metal collar on the bag and the bottom of the shock. This might increase the...

I will get some more picts of the build this weekend : )

Thanks. I'm not sure about the winch control panel. It was there when I got it, but there is no winch. Not for long, anyway lol

My engine is stock. I think that it is particularly important to watch the temps on a 290 hp 3116 or a 3126 at max hp. There is a somewhat linear relationship between boost and EGT's, from what I have seen. The temp may not go down for 3-5 seconds of backing off the throttle. I am still...

Maybe 2-4 qts. Watch the Adept Ape on Youtube do this service. You will get an idea of how much. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5PbOg9x4qo

Looks great! I think the air ride and fan clutch are connected.

Hi Guys!Adding new turbo boost gauge. It's a long run to the dash, so I bought another Bosch connection kit and daisy chained them together. $26 for gauge and about $10 for the extension.

The 3116 and 3126 are good engines, but they do not have the water cooled cylinder sleeves. Therefore, they are less forgiving of intense exhaust heat which could easily lead to a dropped valve, melted pistons, etc., which leads to a catastrophic engine failure.

How to check your air suspension. If your air suspension is working correctly, it should do this: https://youtu.be/jT_o52q0or0

Avoid silent death-How to add an EGT gauge with a PID Here is an inexpensive way to add an EGT exhaust gas temperature gauge. I will be increasing the accuracy of this unit by adding a cold junction compensation mechanism. This particular unit I already had and it reads in Celsius. You will...

For the u joints. Others are larger.

Oops, I stand corrected.

I like the ones that don't blow out, even if the date codes are old : )

I think I used 6mm Zerks.

Yes, you can use 15W50 or so engine oil. This is what the military wanted, not what your expensive Allison 3000 series transmission wants. Your oil may be well-oxidized and worn by now. There are two filters. I shopped and found a WIX filter. Turns out Wix is OEM. Bought closeout 2 filter pack...

I have searched everywhere for CAT technical manuals. The CAT dealer will be happy to sell you some for big bucks. Being the frugal guy I am, I searched everywhere. I found a website in NZ that has a membership fee of $19.00 for 1 week, where you can download the major manuals for this engine...

CFM will be around what the Cummins drop in fan kit for the Ram truck needs. Be careful with Chinese made fans with inaccurate CFM. I looked at converting, then stopped after looking at the complexity of the fan clutch and air system.

Hi Guys! Looking to replace all the hoses on the truck. Do we have a good source or cross reference? Thanks!
