Just REMEMBER that the CUMMINS ip DOES NOT like crap run through it, no matter how great a filter system it goes though first, A Cummins engine is NOT a multifuel, running wmo WILL cause cokeing and accelerated ware of the ip, valve seats and guides, and load up the muffler.

Adam was there to SHOW the before and after CONTRAST of the restore.

How much different is the 1101 compared to the 1102, I pulled a 1101 with my 819 as well as a 923/cover (1101 does lean back a bit), I had NO issues in backing down the road, into my driveway, and the 1101s home on the side of the shop.

If everything is tight, the priming hand pump works great, make sure the square washer under the can retaining bolt IS set in the recess on top of the mounting bracket, if the square washer is offset, it WILL NOT seal the o-ring, also MAKE SURE that BOTH petcocks ARE free of dirt and tight. I...

You owe me nothing, to me it is a HONOR, fun and interesting to work on something as rare as the K18-C

That is FUNNY coming from "DOC" because some of his former projects were in as bad shape OR WORSE.

I am a member

on the left side of the engine side on the firewall

When I was looking for info on the k18, one link lead to another, ect., some where down that chain I found a K19 (trailer) in England, unrestored in some guys barn, the comment about the trailer was in regards a k18 that someone else was restoring, I have gone back and tried to recreate the link...

If the rod came out, put it in the freezer to chill it, then coat it with grease and put it back up in the hole, the chilling will give you more working time., To bad there is not a hole on the front of the block that is threaded that you can run a long bolt in to hold the push rod like the 350s...

HAVE a SS member LOOK and PUT HANDS on the truck and report back to you, for $4,500, you CAN find a running, driving truck, this truck has no cover and bows, as I said, you can get a running truck in the same condition for $4500

Another question to ask the owner, "How did he get the truck from GL to where it now sits", the more I think about this deal, the MORE I feel BAD VIBS, and the STINK is getting stronger. In another words hold on to your money and find a RUNNING truck.

That is because it is all under mine, MR. SWISS is so busy that I do most of the wrenching so he has time for IMPORTANT things like getting a bill passed in about 4 months.

ALSO the ring gear is tacked to the flywheel or flex plate after the install, most of the time when a ring gear needs replacing, a complete (ring gear already installed) flex plate or fly wheel is installed because it is a lot simpler and faster r&r. and a lot of people DO NOT know how to...

Almost ALL engines have a ring gear, either on the flywheel or flex plate, is the trans in the truck, VERY strange if the military removed the ring gear and Reinstalled the trans, if the trans is installed, I would look at a bad starter drive. This truck would have to be either very special or...

It was painted by the lowest bidder, that is ALL the paint that was included in the bid, any more paint would have called for a mod. order which would have called for added expense to the contracting authority.

What about renting a U-Haul car trailer one way, back the busted trailer on and head home, sure would be faster then renting a truck, transferring the trailer load and also should be cheaper.

The ELECTRICAL system is a CUCV on STEROIDS, it has a 12v, 24v, 12v/24v system, the whole right side of the dash is taken up with 24v fuses, relays, cbs, 12v fuses,relays, cbs, and 12v/24v (yes combos) fuses, relays. and cbs., all the cbs, fuses, and relays look the same, put the WRONG one in...

While we are on tire safety, REMEMBER that these 1400x20s on the 939a1/as DO NOT like to sit either flat or even just very low (10/15 lbs) for any length of time, if you have to run it on the rears NOT the FRONT, the side wall will tend to blow out, a real surprise doing road speed on the...

I did away with the lock tab, now I just reach back and move the switch lever, don't have to have to have my hand placed right to push the button. While night driving, I leave the blue light on (would like to find a red lenses), when I need the bright light, it is a easy flip of the switch. As...
