People say the small filter flows better in the OE housing, but I have not found anywhere where that is yet proved by data. Agree on the cooler air (1% for every 10 degrees approximate for a gasoline engine), but here he was creative on lowering the restriction, which may provide more benefit...

Wow, awesome carnage pics! We should have a folder just for those. Looks like you have a hole in your exhaust pipe, and engine block. If you are not into burning used motor oil as fuel such as the multi-fuel can, then I would also suggest the Cummins 8.3. That engine can spin up to 3400rpm...

10-4 on this. For my M925A2, the only thing I have needed road-side is large zip ties, because the fuel stop solenoid freaks out with extended cranking (voltage drop), so exactly what he said. Sure, if I keep fuel in it, that won't happen.

Is "soldier B" your neighbor that asked to borrow $4 and drive him up to buy smokes?

You are spot on for Delco Remy.

Stopped by to help Jerry at lunch today. Not sure he made it back to work, but here are the updates for this thread: Pulling up cylinder sleeve. We laid the truck on its side to pull the sleeves. Why is this sideways? Piston cooling oil squirt line visible, look closely. Best way to get...

They will work short term, but not long term, and they do not meet the requirements for OEM use (corrosion resistance, water intrusion, cycle count, over-running clutch performance, contact welding, pinion hardness, etc...). Probably OK for what we use these trucks for, but $70 more you can get...

Non-turbo same thing, no vacuum. There is always yuck on intake valves. There is "reversion" of flow during operation due to harmonics, and thus slight spit-back occurs.

Hey, nice starter Jerry! That MF'er looks like one of those expensive, lightweight, long life, gear reduction units. Totally high speed!!!

There are no valve stem seals because there is no vacuum on the intake side. Pressure on both manifolds is either zero or positive.

I'll be there with a CO2 fire extinguisher ready to stuff down its throat......

Rare, but could be the water pump also from what you are describing. An impeller can disintegrate or come off the shaft. Oil cooler is probably warm from trans heating it. You could pull a heater hose off, start it, and see if coolant pumps out, this would be a quick test to check water pump...

Medium Duty

Not specifically. A lot of HOA's are an attempt to keep a neighborhood nice in appearance, and that is taken to different levels. I have seen it from just dues collection and no HOA requirements, all the way to no siding allowed (house must be brick on all 4 sides), minimum square footage, no...

Same belt, as it mounts the alternator in the exact same location. I use a 24V 90 amp Mitsubishi alternator. They have internal temperature compensation (higher voltage when colder). I'm considering to offer them both as a kit, but pricing would be $400, so I would not expect many takers.

:)

Yeah, it puffs like a steam engine. Poor kid just doesn't want to accept that a 40 year old engine needs a rebuild. Heck, my heart valve needed replaced at 40, so no way his rings should still be ok !!!

Reman? (*pukes on floor*). Mine are factory new, produced in 2015. I warranty them for 3 years unconditionally, including if you sink it in water. They weigh 1/2 of the old type, they don't crank slow when hot, they are super quiet, have a fabulous over-running clutch built into the drive...

No updates guys, sorry, my business has been booming so I have not had time to play.

My 8.3 is just a needle-width above 0psi on the factory gauge at hot idle. But, when checking this with a mechanical gauge, it reads much higher, like even close to 30psi if I remember correctly. The military electric gauges suck, and suck even worse when hot, in my personal opinion. If I...
