    need hemtt Detroit Diesel 8v92ta mechanic near Sacramento

    Well, the aftercooler is pretty easy, sometimes they can be repaired, blower needs to come off. I would still be looking at the pistons real good. In one of the pics you posted looking into the air box, it looked like that piston was scuffed. Roll the engine over to get the pistons at BDC on...

    Mike, something else I just thought of, it is aftercooled, corrrect? The cooler is air to water, could be a failed aftercooler.

    need hemtt Detroit Diesel 8v92ta mechanic near Sacramento

    Mike, look for areas on the squish rings for carbon tracking, that will be an indication of the gasket blowing, the little white grommets will be split or destroyed in the path of the compression leak. If no evidence found, check the head for cracks, look between the injector bore and valves and...

    need hemtt Detroit Diesel 8v92ta mechanic near Sacramento

    I might have a liner puller, but it no workie with the pistons in the cylinder. Also, pic 2 in the post looking thru the air boxes, the piston looks scuffed. That is not a good thing.

    Nah, those are small coils apx 5/16 - 3/8 dia. It looks just like the ones I replaced on a truck at the Museum for the brake.

    Ditto on double checking for missed bolts and the scraper. The Bus Grease Monkey dude is the one I mentioned on the phone, he works on some OLD stuff!

    Artisan's M916

    When you told me a Mil engine in the can, I was thinking military rebuild. Nope, that is a ReCon engine built by Cummins ReCon. It still has the warranty package on the engine. I would Call ReCon and see if the warranty is good on it. Has never been installed so there should be no warranty start...

    M925a2 Power Surge

    I can't believe this thread has fallen back as far as it is....well was! Any luck on the repower? I need to pull another power pack from the 2nd M60, bet I get the track moved, pack pulled, diagnosed, locate parts, repair and get it put back in before your project is under way.🍻🔩🔧:p

    Bumper-pull camper behind a deuce?

    M105 type trailers are plentiful. One could rob the air over hyd system off of one of those, get some hydraulic backing plates from a pick a part and put them on your trailer. If it is a 2 axle trailer, make one axle air/hyd and the other civi electric brakes.

    (Solved) M939 (M934) NHC-250 855 Starts, dies, sits, then eventually runs fine?

    Plugged vent issues usually cause the opposite of what is being described. It will run fine cold and as the fuel is sucked, returned and heated in the tank when driving, a vacuum is created and actually creates a restriction in the system. I have seen a plugged vent cause a truck and trailer to...

    (Solved) M939 (M934) NHC-250 855 Starts, dies, sits, then eventually runs fine?

    If there is an issue with the FSOV, by passing will not isolate the hard starting issue ( screwing the thumb screw in ). Usually if the FSOV is FUBAR, it does not loose prime, it will just not start, unless there is a piece of debris under the disc. If that happens, there is a filtration...
