whooooah... your blinding me,,,, get those magnesium wheels off that CUCV!!!!! it mite start thinking your trying to give it some Bling bling..... Great write up Jam.... good job!!! :goodjob:

Yup it will work,,,, biggest thing is bellhousing and transfer case. the bell will have the issue of hydro clutch or manual... Manual will take some creation to mount a linkage. the hydro will need to be moved outside of the bellhousing with a bracket.. I suggest getting AA's bracket and...

Time for a 6bt Cummins [thumbzup] Made the switch along time ago in mine, when I brought home my M105 I stopped off and filled it above the sides with rock. hardly even knew it was back there except for the severe angle of the tongue to my rear hitch...(im only lifted 3" to clear the Cummins...

Yes, I could,, but with the jakes thats a 3/4 of a day deal,,,, mite as well adjust the valves too while Im in there,,,, hhhmmm better put it off till spring. in all seriousness I do have my plate full right now besides the weather. remodeling a 600sq ft room adding a full bath and the...

Turbo,,,,,, Im sure it woke the ole girl up some.... Dont mind the oil pressure,,, its fine. Cummins tend to run a higher pressure than most, and way higher than civy cars/pickups.

oil is coming from upstream,, Turbo is brand new and the amount of leakage that is seeping through the manifold tells me its washing the turbo. I really hate cobbling things together outside in the snow with the imaginary justification of coming back to fix them right come spring.... we all know...

well finally got a warm day up here in the frozen north, 45*F and I got the snow scraped off the 816 for a little diagnosis. Capped off the rear line on the head and the inj pump and fired it up. Still have to fix the flex point in the throttle shaft where the spring flew away but even with...

:ditto: only problem would be tearing down the wrecker long enough to put the 3406 in,,,,, unless I could figure out a way to power the crane assembly while the engine was out,,,,,, then the wrecker could do its own engine swap...........:whistle:

with this tach problem,, and the general lack of power I am at a loss to figure out where to go from here,,,, I can try and have the pump rebuilt,,, but the old school pump guys are likely sitting in the geriatric ward downtown now.... For test purposes,,, I will likely plug the rear line and...

Ok,,, heres your man card back......... 8)

had a job to pull the other morning with the wrecker. Played hob getting it to start at 17*F. had to finally pull the air cleaner and puff the snort down the pipe... Roared to life... I did get around to reducing the line size on the dual fuel the other day, from 6AN (3/8 ) down to 4AN...

yup.... I did,,, you have the "technically wrong" manifold,,,,, dig up my thread "816 Jakes and turbo" and the pics will tell you what I had to do to make this manifold work.... I ended up grinding the arm of the manifold to squeeze it under the Thermostat housing. Then I ground on the...

Pulling out a week from tomarrow,,, Nov 30....... Plans changed and I am running bobtail to MO then to NC, Just the 1 ton dually Cuccv clone, Picked up a trailer down south and will be dragging it back around the 13th of Dec. Thanks for some of the interest in loads eastbound...

Ok,,,, Thats not nearly a big enough oil slick in the driveway to have tore apart a duece......:rules: We have to have it at least running down the drive and into the street....... Just so the HOA can complain, and we get another thread about how HOA's are out of control.......... ( Im only...

The oil supply to the Turbo can be gained by removing one of the 1/8 plugs on the oil cooler, above generator is a larg round cast housing with coolant lines running into it. remove one of the pipe plugs and (make sure there is oil.... if water/oil you have big problems) Thread a 1/8 to 06JIC...

not planning on running that far south, if some of it can meet me on I-70 I can see what I can do,,, Will PM you and try to work something out... As my plans kind changed alittle yesterday, Looks Like I will be bobtail to NC and picking up a 20ft enclosed to haul my circle sawmill back...

Yes you can do an inframe on an 855 depending on what exactly is needed... Ive swapped out the mains and rods (bearings) on a few worn out small blocks inframe, by using some banding strap to gently tap the upper bearing around the crank to snake it out.. Or,,, drop the crank via straps...

Yeah, the hard start started with the dual fuel mod, thus Im gonna try the smaller line and see what happens. Hate to have to pull the PT pump have it rebuilt. major $$$$ there.... Simple enough critter I should be ablt to do it myself but the knowing how is 3/4 of the equation. I may look...

My 4LHR Schwitzer was a 5", I just used a standard flange from NAPA truck with the coordinating band, this gave me about 6" to weld my 90* onto to start the downward migration to my old 4" pipe. 2) 90*s a Flange, and a short coupler with a reducer had me where I needed to be. Then welded it...
