    Duel fuel line mod M818 855 cummins

    Juanprado, it bolts on from the inside. The way it looks, the factory bolts in the doghouse, then glues the insulated plastic cover to that. Then they put the floormats on top of that. I took a razor knife and carefully slit my floormat so it could be pulled out of the way. The bolts on the top...

    Duel fuel line mod M818 855 cummins

    Hi ke5, are you talking about custom made hydraulic type hoses with swaged ends, or just fuel hose and clamps? You could do hydraulic hoses I would guess, but I would think the cost would be prohibitive compared to the steel line. Being on the high pressure side of the pump, I would not recomend...

    Duel fuel line mod M818 855 cummins

    Two of each is correct. On mine it took longer to remove the shifter tower and doghouse than it did to do the mod. The insulated plastic cover on mine was glued to the doghouse and covered the bolt heads.

    Duel fuel line mod M818 855 cummins

    IsaLandr, on mine a 40" was perfect for the rear. 20" is too short for the front, I used a 30" cut down to about 26" and re-did the double flare. As far as why replace the front, my guess would be to match line and fitting sizes, I believe the stock line was 5/16. Clover compound is a brand of...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I ended up going the same rout as Spartan, tapped directly from the air tank. Much improved, but still not as loud as it was using the 12v solenoid valve and shop air. I am going to try a 24v train horn solenoid, the stock military one doesnt look like it can provide the flow required.
