    Cummins 6CTA8.3 Injection Timing

    Sorry for my tardiness on this. I was going to mark out some masking tape for the diameter of my balancer, but I instead got lazy and bought the Cummins magnetic timing tape kit with magent pointer. Fits a variety of balancer sizes. Getting ready to finally take some base line data and then...

    progress on injector nozzles

    Besides switching to a P7100 pump, that's probably about it for the stock 8.3L. You could switch to a newer 24v 8.3 and convert it over to mechanical injection (been done on YouTube), but at that point if changing engines just go with something stout like an ISX, Series 60, etc....

    M923A1 multiple issues all at once

    I hear you. I have a tow bar, and keep it on board at times, soon permanently. If I ever have to get my 8.3 towed home by WildChild467's 135hp LDT powered M35a2 (lives close), that will be a difficult phone call to make. Congrats again on your quick find and resolve.

    extended cab frame flex?

    Then you can tie your stereo to your air bag solenoid and make it dance.

    Nice work, that was quick.

    M923A1 multiple issues all at once

    sorry to hear about your news. I'd let it sit and then take an oil sample from the drain plug. At this point I would drain oil, replace with a minimal amount (NAPA has Rotella on sale this month for $12.95 a gallon) , and then check oil pressure with a known good mechanical gauge. Leak check...

    Cummins 8.3L Factory Coolant Filter

    Understood, thanks. It Is probably going back on eBay after I see it to not have the correct porting for our trans coolers.

    45k Rear Winch Value?

    Agree, they are a specific fit and use deal. I've seen them sit at a scrap yard for months with no buyers, then be cut up. Kind of like tractors, the smaller ones can be more versitile and valuable. A 20,000lb one is worth twice that.

    Cummins 8.3L Factory Coolant Filter

    I have a generic add-on one, but thought the factory type would be fly if it would fit and work.

    M923A2 alternator identification

    Yes, stock 60a model. Mine tested to deliver over 60a at idle and over 80a at speed. The 8.3 engine starts so quickly, very little energy is pulled from the batteries, even if using only 2, so recharge is quick and easy. As long as you have batteries less than 5 years old, with no additional...

    M923A2 broken air switch? Something else?

    Is that the 60psi pressure switch for the warning bell? Would be my guess, has wires on the harness and plugged into air system. 4x I blame you for my spending of $440 today for a brand new Volvo 8181250 full size 14L charge air cooler, same one you installed.

    extended cab frame flex?

    Spring bolt mount the cab-frame crossmember to the frame like the bed is to the frame, and it should be able to handle nearly anything.

    extended cab frame flex?

    I drove my 925A2 over a car, and when the front wheel went atop the car roof, and I looked back and saw all 4 rear wheels still on the ground providing traction and stability, it made sense to me to be a fascinating design feature. The rear of a conventional M939 cab is supported in the center...

    M936 Overheating

    Leave the cap loose/off, let it boil, it will not exceed 212F. Keep adding water. Change the stat when you get there. It should be fine and not need fan if moving briskly. Buy a 12v electric fan and strap it to the front of the radiator, run the wires back to one battery, run it...

    M936 Overheating

    If it is just a fan issue, you should be fine, just get on the road and drive at a good rate of speed. It it is a thermostat, grab one from a store and head there with some jugs of water and tools. I don't see it being harder than either of these.

    M936 Overheating

    Once fully cooled off, you can drive it a short way until it gets warm. Like said above, bypass the shutterstat and you may be good.

    Cummins 8.3L Factory Coolant Filter

    This may not work for us. There is no down leg to support the flow to the trans cooler. Once it arrives, I will better assess, but tables have turned on it. Also, it may heavily interfer with the A/C bracket I crafted.

    Cummins 8.3L Factory Coolant Filter

    I recently discovered the 8.3L was equipped with a factory coolant filter integrated into the thermostat housing on some applications. I have ordered one from eBay, and will try it. From a quick visual, it looks like it will fit, we'll see. Notice the horizontal filter behind and above the...

    M923A2 8 rib generator pulley needed

    I don't sell Chinese componentry. I can supply the source via PM for those interested in such. I only sell genuine because I don't want to run a warranty return department. My stuff goes out, works hot, cold, underwater, and 100% of the time, and never comes back. Every one of them. The...
