Got this bracket mounting question answered. It is as I expected. Larger outer holes, smaller inner holes, and nut strips. I'll have to make the nut strips unless anybody has 2 extra for sale. Thanks again for the responses here. Only need to figure out how to get the nut strip in there.

Thanks. PM sent. Still needing front angle bracket drill and install explained. Also seeking one rear U bolt if anybody has one, sling, UPA, etc....., still have a lot to learn.

Helpful, thanks. So focusing on the holes that go directly into the side of the cab, what size are they (drill bit), and then if you look into one with a light, is there a smaller diameter hole further inside in a second piece of metal at a deeper layer? Sorry to drive everybody nuts with...

Shows what I know, nothing. Still not chroming it.

Radiator look good. Did you find a one piece gasket that fits?

Can't chrome aluminum. Ugh, I'm wrong...

OK, here is how it works. The "smart" PCB's have a circuit board, part of that has a sense portion which is wired to the alternator. This sense wire is specific, and is an AC signal, picked up from inside the alternator before the diodes, where the alternator makes AC power anyway. When the...

I could not stand the exposed oxidized aluminum anymore. Just a quick rattle can fix to keep it from worsening while she awaits her new assignment. Not going for show car level, she'll run good and the hood will seldom be opened.

Yep. Latest gen is rated to 450hp. I may be able to get a 450hp calibration for my ECM, or not. I believe they had revised the high pressure fuel system to reach that level (XPI vs CCR). Marine ratings are not yet clear to me as to what was available, I am seeing upwards of 600hp? Still fuzzy.

Engine external dimensions and bolt pattern, yes. Modernized on the inside. 4 valves per cylinder, roller lifters, variable turbo, 2 piece steel topped pistons, common rail high pressure EFI, and intake grid heater. SAE certified 400hp/1200ft-lb.

Too many amps.

Some ISL-400 **** to hold you over. Check out the electric fan clutch. I left the Mr T chain on it for the photo op. Valve cover and rocker box really needs some paint. Want to swap that exhaust manifold for a high mount turbo one for heater core box clearance, like the stock 6CTA8.3 has.

Relax, I said it would be a short while. Need to get the RV trans paid for and shipped out, then rehab 2 zero turn mowers at home for customers first. Then can do the swap. $ first, toys second.

Helpful, thanks. I can make the nut strip. Are the outer cab holes drilled large enough for the spacers to pass through the cab skin and the angle iron to sit flush to the cab? If yes, then drill a second set of smaller diameter holes through an inner plate, and the nut strip then on the...

az your box is full. Advancing injection timing lowers EGT.

Not sure which dept to be posting this in. Thanks for any advice. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?168449-M939-LWS-Install-Question

I disagree with above. You can pull 12v from one battery. The mil even does it in the original configuration, and it is convienently switched at the dash switch also.

On an M939 LWS install, there is a 90 degree angle iron that connects the front brackets to the cab as additional support besides the bolts through the door hinges and frame. These angle irons bolt to the brackets, and then have bolts that go perpendicular to the truck length, and go through...

That's your new name. I just changed it on my cell.

Yep. More air. Adjust air governor to 130psi, set hand throttle to 1500rpm, and go to lunch.
