Will - we oughta have it running pretty soon. We cranked it over while slaved on Saturday and the good news is that my wiring repairs to the cab harness held and there were no other surprises once we had a good protective control box. The cranking speed was even fast enough that the transmission pump starting dumping ATF out of a missing valve on the cooler (a quick scrounge of the engine scrap pile found a suitable replacement).

WW, I look forward to the day when I can take that video clip for you! Hopefully it will happen in January. We've got it cranking. It's just a matter of getting fuel to the injectors. The fuel tank has been cleaned out. I have fresh fluids and filters ready to go.

One thing I want to do is add a coolant filter to it. That should be easy since it has the fuel-burning heater kit on it. I'll just hook a remote coolant filter kit up to the existing fittings that were used for the hot-water personnel heater. Any suggestions on who to get a filter kit from? I think I have seen some filters that come pre-charged with coolant additives.

EZ, thanks pal. I've been watching your Tatra project with interest. Keep up the good work!

You did a fine job on the wiring repairs. I had no doubts in your abilities, especially after all of your work on the 923A2 project

I just checked my "truck notes" folder on my slaptop and found a reference for the Napa 4019 kit. It says that it comes with the filter base, fittings, and filter. I think they also offer filters with different levels of DCA precharge too depending on if you are going to run extended life or regular coolant in it...
FWIW,
Chad

I did some checking on the 4019 kit. It looks like that would work for my application. Pic is below. It comes with mounting hardware and pipe sealant too. There are a variety of pre-charged filters available. I have been trying to find out what Cummins recommends for the CTA 8.3L.

Here are the specs for the filters:
  • P/N 4070 - 0 units of DCA charge
  • P/N 4071 - 4 units of DCA charge
  • P/N 4072 - 6 units of DCA charge
  • P/N 4073 - 8 units of DCA charge
  • P/N 4074 - 12 units of DCA charge

The coolant kit is a nice addition to any military truck. I installed one on my M109 last weekend. Other than the filter, the kit is complete with all you need. Took only 20 minutes to install.

Chris, when you remove the plug from the control box, replace it with one of these to keep small critters out.....

m109guy, that looks pretty slick there. I just need to find a place to mount my filter base. Commercial trucks have the filter base mounted to the side of the engine. I may be able to make a bracket that would share some bolts with the alternator bracket or something. It's either that or down on the frame rail, which would be a little tougher to get to.

Bjorn, that's a nice little breather. Where did you find that?
