Post moved to different thread.

Getting the fuel injectors tested and set is proving to be more difficult than expected. But, that's being covered in a different post. I did make progress on cleaning, painting, and other chores related to putting it back together. I media blasted and acid washed the hardware and valve...

I finally had to give up on my local shop and I picked up my injectors today. AMBAC says they'll "test them for function" for $48 each, plus shipping both ways. Other services to be quoted after testing. Ain't doing that. I might end up shipping them to Portland. If I had more free time, I'd...

They're doing a rebuild. $48 for that doesn't look bad to me, but my experience with these injectors is limited. If they are replacing the springs, then the 248-259 bar pop pressure is a little high, but close. That's about 3600-3750 psi. The info I found said new springs should be set at...

I wouldn't pay $48 each to clean them. That's normally $20-$25 bucks to clean, test and set them. $48 sounds like a rebuild. New injectors are $70.

That makes perfect sense. I just need an old injector now.

Finding the correct line nuts is the problem. The guy at Royal Brass pulled out pretty much every type and size, metric and standard, and nothing seemed to be a perfect match. He had a huge kit for checking connector sizes and nothing seemed to work. I even rifled through the selection at Lowe's...

I found that it says that 3050# is for new springs (new or rebuilt injectors). The new springs will "take a set" to 2800#, so the correct number for "used" injectors is 2800#. I've seen a lot of debate about this and people setting the pop pressure as high as 3700#. I plan to go with the...

I know this thread has been dormant for a few months, but it looked like a good place for me to add my fuel injector testing and calibration questions. Disclaimer: I've been working on this for about a month. I've searched, read, cross-referenced, and read the related and similar threads...

Betty got a little exercise pulling stumps over at a friend's house. They turned out to be easy pulls, but it was fun just the same. https://vimeo.com/154676336 The next morning, my son and I pulled the valve covers and set the clearance on all valves. None were terribly off, but I found a...

I'm not sure about that. I've only worked on deuce horns and several commercial truck horns. I would think there must be an adjustment of some type to tune them, but I've not worked on horns from a 900 series truck.

Air horn woes! Tbar, break it down to its components for testing. First, check for voltage at the solenoid when you press the horn button. If voltage checks ok, hook it up to the solenoid (no horn) and then press the horn button. Did a lot of air come out? Solenoid ok. Did a little bit of air...

That's pretty cool.

I've encountered similar issues in other states, especially northeastern states. The FEDERAL definition of a commercial vehicle is that it is engaged in commerce. No matter the weight, if it's not used for commerce, it's not commercial. Again, that's the federal definition. Some states define...

Would love to be there but this sickness called work keeps ruining my recreational activities.

We left for home right after the convoy. Made it home tired, but safe and sound.

Looks like we'll be sleeping at Durhamtown tonight! We just stopped in Covington for a few provisions and we're back on the road. ETA 19h30.

I'm loaded up and mostly just waiting on Michael to finish some school commitments. My plan is to roll out in the morning, but we might even sneak out late this afternoon.

I know this thread has been inactive for a quite a while, but I found a couple of Tigger photos while paging through some old photo files. I thought I should add them here Gone but not forgotten.

Michael and I plan to be there by noon on Wednesday. Had hoped to be there Tuesday, but there was just too many other things to do. On the way back from Florida now after a brief visit with my parents. I hope there's a decent tent spot left when we get there that's not right next to the new...
