    Cant find Governor Springs

    man those springs will have to be the perfect length and tension. thats going to be hard to nail down. Maybe 2800 max is good.. 3k is a lot

    conversion of 4 batteries to 2?

    optima batteries arent what they use to be since the companty exchanged hands 6 or so years ago. They are a crap shoot now. May get a good one, may get two bad in a roll Odyssey is now the best. I would buy any regular brand battery before Optimas.. Yea Im hattin on them. I can. Ive owned...

    Cant find Governor Springs

    Maybe I will just do the spring mod. I read one place to go one click (1/4 turn) and I read another that went three? Someone conform? And what is one click good for on RPM gain?

    Cant turn down air pressure

    Yea Ive spent hours on the TMs but being new to them Im very inefficient and with a 15 month old boy to watch I run out of time. I played with it and it is clock wise to lower pressure. I got it set on 128 psi and I wouldnt dare ask but rather I will look up what pressure it is suppose to be...

    Cant turn down air pressure

    I thought I read somewhere that counter clock wise (out) turned it down (less pressure). Anyone verify?

    Cant turn down air pressure

    My wipers and horn works as early as 30 psi. So my PPV is not working correctly and is passing air at will. I got one on order BUT that is not affecting the over pressure problem. Why is it climbing to 140 psi+ and continuously blowing the blow off valve. Where is the sensor to stop the...

    Cant turn down air pressure

    I took mine apart and cleaned it real good. The piston moved freely but that didnt fix my problem. I read somewhere that I could replace it with a elbow to verify that it is the problem. True? If so then I can remove the internal guts to it and install to see if that works? What is it doing...

    Cant turn down air pressure

    PPV huh? ok easy enough but is there somewhere on this site that I can find a part number and where can I order one? Guess I will start on ebay.

    Cant turn down air pressure

    its builds to nearly 150 psi and a blow off valve opens and repeats every 40 seconds or so. I thought this was the adjustment high up on the firewall under the hood But I have given it 5 complete turns counter clock and nothing changes.

    Cummins 6CTA idle oil pressure 10psi, 2000 RPM pressure 45-50

    Cummins 6CTA idle oil pressure 10psi, 2000 RPM pressure 45-50

    good to know.. Ive never seen anything else like it. But Ive never been around large diesels either

    Cummins 6CTA idle oil pressure 10psi, 2000 RPM pressure 45-50

    ok it runs nearly 60 psi cold at idle and then 10 or a little over when its warm. it quickly climbs just off idle.. Normal?

    Cummins 6CTA idle oil pressure 10psi, 2000 RPM pressure 45-50

    Yea hard to read or really know what its reading here too. I will check the just off idle pressure.

    Cummins 6CTA idle oil pressure 10psi, 2000 RPM pressure 45-50

    So your saying that 10psi on a warm motor is acceptable?

    Cummins 6CTA idle oil pressure 10psi, 2000 RPM pressure 45-50

    This seems very low but Ive never had one of these trucks so I dont know. If it is in fact low thought about pulling the sensor and installing a direct gauge to the port to see what it reads. If its the same then oil pump problems if it reads stronger then gauge problems. Is 10 psi low for idle?

    Picking M931A2 up from auction. Change oil before driving?

    I made it... Starter solenoid was shorted. pulled the hot wire from it and hit it to the hot side of the started and it craked over. Taped the hot wire up and out of the way and drive it 116 miles home.. Beautiful truck with 33 hours and 7xx miles.

    Need a hand in Atlanta.

    I drove mine home today. The starter solenoid had a dead short. Removed the hot wire and jumped it to the start and bag it cranked. Taped off the hot wire and drove home.

    Picking M931A2 up from auction. Change oil before driving?

    I nailed nearly the whole list (forgot only the duct tape). Those part numbers for oil, fuel, trans, are they for a Cummins 6cta8.3?

    Picking M931A2 up from auction. Change oil before driving?

    good advice guys. I will probably take a gallon of oil for topping off if needed.. I will take distilled water for coolant but wont worry about anti freeze or the ratio til I get home. Any other advice?
