    250 cummins fuel in oil

    You might be able to take your engine S/N and CPL #'s from the data plate on the engine and call or go in to the Cummings dealer and have them look it up the o-rings should not be that expensive even from the dealer.

    M1078 Air brake help

    I would go ahead and check the service or TM manual and make sure all your hoses on the brake valve are hooked up correctly. One hose in the wrong spot could cause your problems or at least make your air act weird.

    M1078 Air brake help

    Yes you should have air at the park/ emergency glad hand if you release the trailer brake dash valve if you do not have air there you have some kind of problem.

You can check the chambers by taking the service brake line off the chamber and releasing the brakes and see if air comes out the fitting on the chamber which it should not...

    Your tractor protection valve should not come into play unless you have the trailer brakes released or the trailer brake button on the dash pushed in. If memory serves me correct. If you are connected to a trailer and releasing its brakes then you could have a leak on the park cylinder inside a...

    M923a1 failure, need input.

    Dont bump it with the starter. (something bad could happen) use a 1 1/4" or 1 5/16" 3/4" drive socket and turn it over on the accessory drive pulley nut. It won't turn over that hard.

    You turn the journal of crankshaft to the side; It will get out of the way enough for the extension to go through.

    M923a1 failure, need input.

    Hello If you have equipment to machine; you could make a plate made with a lip for the liner so it will pass through the hole in the block and use a hydraulic jack and an extension to jack the liner out of the block. This liner will be fairly easy to push out it is NOT like the newer cummins...
