Gonna ask because I've never done it before. What is the best way to rotate one of these big buggers by hand? Or do I have to bump it into position with the starter then pull the rod bolts.

Yes, not ever having done this I just wasn't sure how much force was required. Others have shared that these aren't "pressed" in, so it shouldn't require that much force. Thanks for the pic, do you know if the puller needs to be that tall for an nhc 250?

Interesting idea pushing it from the bottom, the crank is still in the engine, if there is enough room I might try that. Thanks

I looked on ebay, didnt find a puller for the cummins. found some online, but hey started at 600.00 I have machining and welding equipment, if it doesn't take tons of force I can come up with something. Tech manual showed an installation tool also, I need to read up on that.

M923 Deadlined-water in the oil Some of you may have seen the thread on the inital failure. Drained the "oil" got thirteen gallons where there should have been seven. Pulled the pan, no chunks, all looked good. Refilled cooling system, pressurized to about 15 p.s.i. Coolant began to drip out...

Thats funny, when she broke down the driver of the semi wrecker hooked up to it and was trying to retract his boom with the hydraulics. Had to remind him that with air the truck will roll much easier.

Without removing driveshaft?

If it pans out I will just have the semi wrecker move it, front end in the air.

No, I dont have anything big enough to tow her. Just wanted to see for sure if drive lines needed to be pulled for towing. The emergency recovery last week was only a couple of miles so I just put her in neutral, neutral. I might have access to an industrial building in Arlington to work on her...

You and my wife just informed me of that. She says "did you search for the keyword" Doh!

Good Lord I need to learn how to decipher these things. Didn't see that in the table of contents. Thanks

Dont forget the m939 series. I would be interested. 2nd NDT on seeing a prototype.

Technical manual for towing m923 Does anyone know which tecnical manual contains the towing and recovery information for m923. Thanks!

Wreckerman, JBLM trucks are all getting shipped to Fontana CA now. The days of cheap local trucks is over, current prices 8500.00 and up. I did consider the option of buying another truck for parts but without being able to inspect, plus transport, didn't make sense.

Hi Charger, I am not unhappy with the way she ran before the incident. Just the idea of attempting my first in frame overhaul out doors in the PNW winter doesnt sound to appealing. Do you have a 250 or a 6cta,cant see your avatar well enough. I am on the hilltop between Stanwood and Silvana...

Zx, a complete swap like that, as fun as it sounds, would likely force me to have to live in the truck. Soldier B is only on board so much.

About an hour and a half north of Tacoma.

Zxmedic, I am totally unfamiliar with that engine, but I will check that out, thanks

Hi Artisan,do you mean a turbo built by a pro, or the whole package? Might be outside the scope of the cash I can drop. As much as it concerns me buying the unknown, I did find a "good running" 6cta for under 3500.00 I have never priced a heavy diesel overhaul, I am new to this world.

Below is copied from another thread regarding this issue, gives a little more detail. The fan was functioning properly. Went to take the girls for the once a month spin down to the ice cream store. Pre flight checks were good. About three miles down the road I notice the temp gage at a little...
