It has been a busy week sourcing parts for the 925A2. I am headed back to Winslow's this Sunday to put in another all day thrash. Hopefully Chad will be able to join me again. He is indispensable when it comes to the wiring.
I went to NAPA today to pick up all of the necessary filters. They were able to cross a Baldwin filter number for the Allison pan filter and gasket. Here are the numbers for future reference:
- NAPA Gold Transmission Filter and Pan Gasket - 1892
- NAPA Gold Spin-on Transmission Filter - 1268
- NAPA Gold Engine Oil Filter - 1649
- NAPA Gold Fuel Filter - 3472
I picked my starter up from the shop today too. $157 later, the ground lug was reattached inside the case and the whole thing was cleaned, greased, and tested.
I also have a whole mess of stuff ordered from Integrated Parts Systems, which is a subsidiary of Clark Truck. I priced a bunch of stuff at various places on the net and their prices were right in line. I ordered a new thermostat, thermostat-coolant-crossover molded hose, fuel lift pump, timing cover gasket, turbo outlet-downpipe clamp, and a crank gasket kit.
I also have a remanufactured air compressor on the way. I found one for $319 with a 1 year unconditional warranty.
I picked up a bunch of new brake check valves, and other air brake parts along with a new pump shut-off solenoid from Stonepicker here on SS. Thanks Phil.
AMTAK is sending me a power-steering cooler and a couple of fan-shroud halves.
Finally, I found a good deal on the fan clutch actuator on eBay. I got two of them delivered for $52. Now I have a spare.
Phew! What a load! I am also planning on a work day next week sometime. This is turning into another thrash fest like the 923A2
Stay tuned big truck fans!!
