I didn't check the tread timing. I am usually able to easily embarrass myself that way, yet I still don't learn and keep doing it! Ugh!

I don't know why you guys chase the big batteries. Group 31 commercial semi truck batteries are $100 each new, compact, free up storage space, and work fabulous. The military over-battery'd these trucks and added solar to be able to sit in the arctic for long periods unused, and still be able...

Maxx, I'm in Livonia with my M925a2. I can stop by after I am back from Japan this weekend and we can get it fired up quickly. I know the 8.3's pretty good now. They are a stout engine, but the low pressure fuel delivery systems are very weak on them. Age them 25 years and they become even...

red and snow are both right on. There are 2 aspects to boost. One is the turbo piping that blows the compressed air into the engine. The other is a small tube that goes to a diaphragm on the back of the injection pump. Either could be leaking. The small injection one allows increased...

Knarly. Engine makers typically won't put that much weight hanging off an elbow due to vibration. Especially with brass, either. But for how little we drive these, it should be fine. You could go to an iron elbow and reducer bushing if you wanted to up the strength and keep the brass ball...

This is the result I am getting so far. I see all the pins are populated in the connector, but not in the vehicle harness, so I made an inline harness that adds them. So far, the diag software and comm adapter try for a few bytes, then no response and gives up, saying no comm. I hear all...

I need to pull and check the pickup tube, have not done yet. Cummins usually uses a standard Carter vane pump, at least on their ISX, so that should be easy to get, if I am running it off 24V, depends if ECM can handle it or not. Cummins would want more for a new ECM than I am getting the...

The flywheel housing should have a removable access cover of how the torque converter bolts are installed. Remove it and rotate the engine to check if all present. Mark the first with marker or paint. I'd sell the truck to somebody here if everybody loves it that much.

Cute. Just need to pull my tank apart and make a new dip tube, or tighten the depth adjustment on the fuel gauge. First time, gauge did not work. Replaced gauge and sender. All times after that, trucks runs out at higher and higher gauge levels. Was first 1/4 tank, then 1/2, most recent...

Good response using data, thanks. I have not checked my module part number, nor tried the CAN bus termination resistor yet. I will at the beginning of this summer. The comm unit is the one recommended by DANA, which is also on their approved comm module list, please check my earlier posts, as...

10-4, my 925a2 is one of the few that did come with the larger frame filter additionally which is usually found behind the driver front tire of previous gens. I'll have to go electric lift pump I am guessing, no big deal, kind of wanted to anyway. CSM, I scored the engine literally a few...

Shows what I know, and don't.

I just gave a deposit on the engine, so I guess I will spill the beans. It is a 2005 Cummins 8.9L ISL 400hp engine from a motorhome. WillWagner had the closest dart. Loved the slant 6 guess though, amongst others. The 8.9L ISL is a stroked version of the 8.3L. It also consists of several...

Vending machines are everywhere here, they love them. Every floor at work, and every street corner in the city. These guys are obsessed with ice-coffee. The outdoor ones sell beer too. I don't think any kids in US would abuse that?

Here is one from Japan for you tough guy while I am here. See if you can figure out how to use this if you had to. She's a low rider. Don't stick your head in it:

Something new to drive the kids to school in. 13 speed is cool. I can't even count that high.

Nope, not a kitty fan. Aren't those the 3126 (EFI versions of 3116)?

I didn't know others are allowed to collect parts, but not myself.

Getting warmer, but uses conventional diesel. Vapor fuel engines run much hotter as liquid fuel engines have some cooling as the liquid fuel flashes to vapor (like aerosol deodorant is cold when applied). Not uncommon to see cracked exhaust manifolds and such.
