Cast iron is not easy to weld, properly. Not allowed to post live eBay auction links. Just search Cummins 8.3 engine, then sort by price. They probably won't pull the engine. Ad is for entire bus. As-is, where-is.

Looks like it froze. The only things I think you will waste by trying is upper gasket set and fluids. The new sleeve can be transfered to a replacement block. It will start and run, but I would not trust it though. The cracks will continue along their length from force and vibration, and...

That is next step. Waiting for warmer/dry weather.

They don't have an adjustable overflow valve. That is typically an aftermarket part. Have you replaced the soft fuel lines on the suction side of the system? Fuel filter(s) together correctly? Tank have fuel? Pickup tube removed and checked? What's up with the new guys shift (caps) key...

Wow, could not make that any easier for him, very nice.

You don't need to be in a hurry on the alternator as long as your electrical loads stay stock or near stock, your engine starts quick, your batteries are relatively fresh at 5 years old or newer, and you shut the engine off in the correct switch order (bottom one off/down first). Would not hurt...

See if you can fetch a used compressor. Should be $150 or less?

Just saw.

Sorry for your luck. I see the crack around the bolt hole. Heard this was a Cummins known problem with blocks up through 90'. Most likely to appear once power level increased beyond stock. Wonder if the engine is older than the truck. Member here was selling new 8.3L bare blocks for a...

So, what did you go with, and how did it work out for you?

I've never read the TM. Probably why I keep running out of fuel.

8.3 only.

I'm picking up a used Bosch P7100 pump tomorrow with 12mm plungers in it, and the correct right hand rotation as required by Cummins. International DT466 is left hand rotation pump. Our Bosch MW pump is 10mm plungers and 10mm stroke. The 5.9L pump is 12mm diameter plungers and 11-14mm stroke...

On a 939 winch, they hold 200' of 5/8" without level wind, and 250' with level wind. I don't see a reason for 3/4", heavier and more difficult to handle, though a good buy. Tensile strength of of 5/8" should be way more than enough already. I have stalled my winch several times and never...

Wanted to post a link to a well described method of injection timing check and adjustment, via the spill port method. This is decently written, and for a P7100 pump, but same method is used for the MW pump, or most any inline pump for that matter (A, P, MW, etc...)...

Yep. Tell more about a P7100 conversion. What has to be modified on the cover? Is it for the pump oil line?

Interesting thing happened 2 nights ago. I have a 2009 Chevy Colorado with a factory 300hp 5.3L V8 all aluminum LS motor in it (gasoline), runs out good, especially in a "mini" truck. An old 90's full size Dodge Ram Cummins 5.9L pulls up next to me, rusty rockers and all, and nudges a few...

That was nice of Eastern and a reasonable price. I didn't even know original was still available. If you are in kind of a hurry, go with them. If not, give me a week or so to measure the diameter of the needed replacement, and get it cut and installed. Wet out here right now, so once it...

Want mine for free? It is in good shape, and I am upgrading to a fuel fired heater, so I need higher temp orange flexi-fab.

For the 8.3L, the most common coolant heater takes the place of a block freeze plug, above the starter. Quick and easy install. But a block heater won't do anything for fuel waxing (that I know of), if that is still your primary concern....
