    M923A2 8 rib generator pulley needed

    Brandon, I think your request is for an M35A2 engine (LDT?)? I have not verified at all that this alternator will fit the location. It should, but I believe the LDT and NHC 250 both use a double V pulley with more standoff to it (taller hat portion). I don't have that pulley. If your can be...

    Careful, they will take your driver license too.

    Best way to clean rust from cooling system?

    Cascade powder automatic dish washing detergent and hot water. Pour it in, drive it 20 minutes, pull the lower hose, repeat. Don't drain on concrete, it will stain. Comes out as rusty water.

    Be careful, or they will take your driver license again.

    M923A2 8 rib generator pulley needed

    PM sent. I just spun around in the phone booth and came out with a red cape on.

    8.3 turbo discussion

    Everybody is fine, some of my best friends in this thread. Let us know how it works. Holset is supposed to be lagging in technology compared to BW, so we're staying tuned....

    M925A1 possible problem

    All good points here. A very constructive thread.

    What is this noise, engine starts to die when it happens

    Compressor sounds excessively difficult to rotate. Remove and inspect.

    M925A1 possible problem

    ABS is on the rears only. Foot firm on pedal should have stopped the fronts. I'm not an air brake expert because mine has not broke yet, but....

    M923 battery charger

    You guys just need better alternators. :)

    7th times the charm?

    The turbo bought above is not ball bearing. It is traditional floating sleeve bearing. Ceramic ball bearing turbos are really only 1/2 true, or at least they used to be, because they only use the ball bearing on the colder compressor side of the turbo. Hot side has always been floating...

    Cummins 6CTA8.3 Injection Timing

    Good news for others. Some additional digging reveals that you can do this with the hand prime button and not 300psi. Simply remove the delivery valve core from the delivery valve holder, which is directly under where the injector line attaches to the pump. I'll probably surrender the 300psi...

    Pyro advice

    Drilling cast iron only makes powder not shavings. No problem to allow this to blow through turbo on start up. It will pass through before the turbine wheel starts spinning anyway. People make a way bigger deal out of this than necessary. On thermocouples, the smaller diameter you use, the...

    Deuce heater options

    I have a complete NOS fuel fired heater for sale for anybody that wants a warm cab even before the engine starts. PM for info. It is a rare complete M35A2 bed arctic heater kit, but uses the same Stewart Warner 30,000 btu fuel fired unit. People have mounted these underhood and in cab above...

    Cummins 6CTA8.3 Injection Timing

    Bought the 14mm banjo adapter fittings, and confirmed the electric pressure washer can be dialed down to the target 300psi. We're clear for launch. When I'm done, it will make a cool flame thrower.

    5ton and mods what makes a 5 ton

    I thought he was supposed to be doing pretty much exactly that with a top secret engine?

    M923 battery charger

    Can I be a dweeb and ask why you guys need a charger at all? I'm down to only 2 batteries, and as long as they are less than 5 years old, she will crank up un-assisted even on a snowy January morning. There is no draw on the batteries when the truck is off. A truck with 4 batteries should be...

    Cummins 6CTA8.3 Injection Timing

    Will, that was the response I was looking for when I published that I was going to run diesel fuel through my pressure washer. :) I already bought the gear puller, so I need to get a banjo adapter fitting and a plug to block the banjo outlet port and then away we go.

    Cummins 6CTA8.3 Injection Timing

    Yeah. This is right out of the Cummins service manual, 300-370psi. I read where some have done it simply with the hand primer built into the fuel pump.

    Cummins 6CTA8.3 Injection Timing

    This will be a great one for everybody to armchair quaterback: To do the spill port method of setting injection timing, which is supposed to be the most accurate, I need to remove the delivery valve contents, and then put a short tube in #1 injector output pump fitting, block the injection...
