    Who makes a Jacobs-type engine brake for the 250 Cummins?

    Installing brakes on only two heads has been done for a long time, they work, but not as well as a 3 head set up, they sound funny too. I personally installed 2 head set ups on a 50 truck fleet of Volvos that had no room for the 3rd head installation, never saw an issue with the brakes or the...

    Medium tow bar weight?

    WAY more manageable in pieces! Leave the feet off, separate the two bars and one person can handle it.

    Jake brake 25A vs. 25B & their use with a pulse manifold

    I'll still dig through my pile of paperwork to see if I have anything left. I think I might have given it to somebody before I left.

    Jake brake 25A vs. 25B & their use with a pulse manifold

    A pulse manifold can have effects on brake operation as well as turbo turbine housing. A pulse manifold has smaller ports, increasing velocity thru the manifold and into the turbine housing. If you use a divided entry turbo with a pulse manifold, the autolash screws might need to be installed or...

    M923a2 coolant in air tank

    Yes, coolant only in the head. Take the inlet pipe off from the cylinder head to compressor. If no coolant, it is just the compressor. If an aftercooler leaks coolant usually, 8 of 10 times, migrates to the rear cylinders due to drive angle an hydraulics the engine, if the leak is bad enough.

    M60 repair

    And, I think I might have stated somewhere that the other 60 did not have these pipes, well, it does too. Both were USMC tanks. The TMs we have are Army pubs. and do not show the piping. Without them there the pack removal would be a bit easier, they are very close to the hull.

    8.3 belt tensioner problems

    Fan hub is correct. In the attached pics, OP, yours is circled in red, Jbulach is in blue. That is the tensioner stop. OP, yours is at the stop that is at the "Max Tension" or Min tension, Jbulach is where it is supposed to be, almost centered between the "Min Tension" and "Max Tension". It...

    M60 repair

    Rusty...TMI man! I would like to find out what the piping is. I don't think it is for crew ventilation, I do not think it actually puts exh gasses into the boxes they attach to. Maybe some type of heating system? When running, there are pulses in the piping, no soot. If anyone comes out this...

    M923a2 coolant in air tank

    Cracked or just in need of a rebuild, the o-rings and paper gaskets get brittle. Have not seen too many crack. What engine is it? If the aftercooler leaks, the coolant can be drawn into the compressor and end up in the dryer/wet tank, remember, the compressor gets it's air from the intake...

    Interior Rearview Mirror?

    Nhc250 valve injector overhead adjusting

    Most had non-top stop. The way you can identify it is just like in the video above. You can see the spring. You can physically pull the spring and plunger out of the injector. A top stop injector has what looks like a giant 12-point nut on the top of it and the only thing you can pull out of the...

    Nhc250 valve injector overhead adjusting

    I just watched this...This guy is confused. The injectors are NOT top stops, NEVER do IBC on these type. Well, I guess you can do what you want, but what he said to do will cause issues.

    8.3L Cummins from an excavator

    I know a guy who has just that set up, want his number? He might want to off the set up 'cause it's taking up too much dead space in the garage.
