I did the same thing, absolutely had to have the level wind on my 925A2. Loved the way it looked and worked. But, paying out the cable as free spool was much more difficult than I anticipated, because you are bending the 5/8" cable in a pretty tight 180 degree loop over the top pulley. Winch...

Because it is not working. If you are getting that data with a digital meter, battery charging voltage needs to be a minimum of 25.7v or higher, really closer to 27v-28v range.

I think you have a lot more homework to do.

I'm not sure that makes sense. Efforts always appreciated, but from a business perspective, shouldn't it just be a quote from ARB of price vs volume? Example: 1 prototype = $10,000 2-5 units = $5000 each 5-20 units = $3000 each etc..... Could be a line item for tooling charge also if...

Anybody have leads on performance injector nozzles? They seem a little harder to come by for 8.3 injectors. I'd like to go larger than stock, as I just bought a used but clean Holset HX50 turbo off eBay for $200 (genuine, not Chinese clone), and wish to do both at the same time to my 6CTA8.3...

No mechanics class, I hope to one day learn about that kind of stuff. Our company hosted a monthly National Trucking Association meeting and Timken reps were there and did the *.ppt presentation. I really just joined/stayed for the BBQ ribs that were catered in, as they were...

We just had a presentation from Timken on class 8 truck hub bearings, and they specify to set them a pinch loose, so there is 0.003" axial play in the hub when pushed/pulled. They said they know nobody will set this with a dial indicator, but their point was to allow a pinch of slop, and when...

If the engine is in good running shape when you get it, then you'll never be able to wear it out. They are both pretty tough, especially when only driven to pick up milk and bread. Coolant can eat through the cylinder liners and such depending upon maintenance history, but engine durability...

If the tank will not be in motion, I don't think the gasket material is of significance, except for the bottom ball valve (possibly those mount with sealant)? They usually have a large fill cap on top. Is this the gasket you are asking about? Otherwise, perfect answer just above this for...

That's cool. I'm lucky to have access to a dozen donuts, let alone a dozen trucks.

Most common asking price for a 939 series 20k front hydro winch on SS classifieds is about $1500 fairly complete, minus frame extensions. Those are another $500 or so as buy-it-now from a vendor unless you shop them around (time saves money thing). PTO can be put on trans without moving or...

If the Cat it is out of a US market road use vehicle, the starter/alternator will likely be 12V. If out of construction equipment, it may be 24V. That alternator is a standard J-180 short type mount, the military one will not fit that bracket correctly. The starter likely will carry over if...

Congratulations, and sound advice from above post. The 10mm end wrench for priming and the zip tie for the fuel stop solenoid are the only 2 things my truck has needed yet in the 5500 miles I have put on it, and that is from running out of fuel. A2 should top out at 67mph @ 2150rpm with the...

Not an answer to your questions, but I am changing mine in two ways due to poor heat (M925A2) and wanting the cab warm in MI winters: 1. Relocating the entire heater core box+fan to under the seat. I converted to two group 31 batteries specifically for this reason. This way, the heater can...

You had the right mindset to want an alternative. I also did the H4, and the amount of light even with low wattage bulbs is unreal. Daylight all the way down the street, up, down, left, and right. I went with the Hella Euro spec globes and Hella H4 bulbs. Even name brand, it was low cost. I...

Good points. I like it when people are reasonable. We'll see how much weight it takes to press the front springs to the stops and go from there. At that point, I will probably just say that is the limit.

Supposedly nothing aftermarket fits (NAPA/Wix, etc....), only the OE filter fits the can, and is not low cost. Some people are buying a smaller OD filter which is available in the aftermarket, and it is believed to flow more air by better exposing the entire surface area of the filter element...

Thanks. They seem to be lifting more load than I plan to, and with smaller trucks/winches, so it confirms feasibility for what I'd like to do.

Interesting, but that thread died. Nobody knows if a dual countershaft trans can fit into a 939 series and cooperate with the transfer case and front driveshaft. Ugh...

All good points. Should be able to lift some weight, as the 8.3 is much lighter than the 855, with same front springs I believe. Will check tire load rating also, but I think we are ok there. Don't plan on lifting much, but it could be useful to pluck engines, move logs/rocks, etc... I'll...
