You had a second person there in the third pic.....? Just have somebody start it for 3 seconds and looky where it is coming from. Doesn't look like it will be hard to find. Looks like NHC 250 engine.
You're no fun. But, when the rear axle of my truck is 8' in the air and most of my diesel fuel is gurgling out the fill cap, I'll crawl back and say you were right. :)
Yes, too much tension to place the crane boom tie back that close to the boom itself. I bought a second 20k hydro winch to...
If you just need a regulator, it looks like Erik's military surplus has them for a somewhat reasonable cost, but you'll still have a weak design no matter how many times you rebuild it. If you want one of mine, PM me. I just shot a quote to another interested member also. The Chinese Delco...
You likely left a large "-" cable off somewhere. Back of the starter, block, frame, battery bank, or other. Look from underneath, you can usually find it hanging down. HD starters are grounded directly as to not pull 1-2 thousand amps through the engine block bearings. I have never checked...
Spins on just like a propane cylinder to a torch head. A NAPA branded one will fit and work, but the over-pressure vent tube which is on the truck and original bottle will likely not fit the NAPA cylinder.
Interesting. The pistons he purchased did not have a ring pack like that. They had even less rings than the ones he took out. I think these pistons he bought were prototypes and not supposed to go into the market. Maybe from this point his best bet would be to measure the new liners vs old...
Not really, but the crane portion is done. Next is to get the rear winch mounted. Will use that cable up and over the cab roof somehow to act as the tie-back for the crane frame. Then the front winch on my 925 will lift the load. Your avatar shows a 923 (no winch). What are your intentions...
More info please. What turbo and what is boost level now? There is no fuel plate in the Bosh MW pump, that popular mod is done to the Bosch P7100 pump, so that part doesn't make sense. What is the highest EGT, RPM, and top speed attained so far? Measurables help to quantify better than the...
Understood and agreed. No, we did not measure ring end gap. The kits were shipped with the rings installed and the piston in the liner. Assumed to be field-install-ready. Now easy to say geez, we should have checked every single aspect. We'll make it right. I think by spending time on a...
King pin? It's not a front axle Jerry. Piston pin to piston top is compression height.
Also, these were not an overhaul kit, they were individual cylinder kits. One of the first 6 we're not the same as the other 5, so they sent an additional that matched the 5.
We need to get solid...
I sell brand new 130A 24V alternators, just sayin'. :) I replaced my thermostat and heater core and now mine blows hot and relatively quickly from a cold start with no block heater usage. Your heater core could be plugged with minerals. Mine was. It flowed fine, but was not transferring the...
The answer to your question:The difference between the two is a matter of spring rate (k). The stockers can only be cranked down 2-3 "clicks" before they become unstable in operation. Example, the engine may not be able to maintain idle control response time. Engine may then die when trans...
Yep yep. I have bought so much junk to add to my 5T that it is taking up both my truck tool boxes, a job box, and 2 pallets worth up at my work. Everything from a dual channel EGT gauge and dual fuel fired heaters to a 5000W generator, A frame crane, and a cab roof mounted A/C unit. Have not...
Depends on the cold start temp. Block heater and battery charger, then 2 batts are enough. No block heater and cold starts on an old 855, I'd do 4 batts. My opinion. Above poster is in FL.
Reboot the system. Once you have 120 tank pressure, shut the truck off and back on. Then press the two lower red buttons. After 30 seconds, then press the HWY button.
