    Cummins NHC 250 versus Cummins 6CTA8.3

    I've had bunches of trucks of each type. 8.3 gets better fuel mileage. My almost 40k wrecker with the 8.3 gets substantially better fuel efficiency than my 23k M925 with NH250. 8.3 holds speed better when already at hwy speed and hitting a hill. Loaded heavy and slow, off road? NH250...

    Aftermarket alternator

    This has been resolved - I got an original alternator thanks to @Jbulach . I'll leave it up as someone else looking for which one to use can find the 28si info.

    Aftermarket alternator

    I messaged him a while back on the topic. No reply. He hasn't logged in since November. I'm kind of worried about him.

    Spot Sand Blaster

    I did an entire 939series truck using the smallest harbor freight pistol type sandblaster. I started with the idea that i was going to touch up the front bumper, and before I knew it i was finishing up the rear bumperettes a couple weeks later....

    I need some feedback on the value of my '87 USAF M35A2C

    More like $12-17k in my opinion. + a value enhancement since it comes from the deuce doctor.

    Horn Upgrade

    Thanks! My HMMWV horn is anemic and only works sometimes. I really should replace it... but a K5LA just isn't in the budget. You really think that one reaches the advertised 150dB?

    Aftermarket alternator

    No trips planned, but I'll happily buy it from you and pay shipping. I'll send you a PM with my number... Tha ks!

    Aftermarket alternator

    Good information, thanks! I'm not really concerned with much beyond getting something for the belt to ride. My use case for the wrecker means it's almost always at 1600rpm anyway, and it can even stay plugged in when parked.

    Aftermarket alternator

    It wasn't really a friend. I don't know the guy. The deal was he'd give me the old failed one. I was going to put the bad one on my truck simply for a place holder to give the belt something to ride, and keep the batteries charged by means of a charger. The guy ghosted me. I don't really...

    Aftermarket alternator

    24si says it's 12V. Maybe 28si? Whatever this one is -

    Aftermarket alternator

    Farmers in KS use 939series trucks as silage trucks. One of them had an alternator go bad last fall and needed one right then. I sold him the one off my M936A2. So now I need one for me. I seem to remember there was an aftermarket option that wasn't terribly expensive and wasn't a particularly...
