    M916 Alternators for cummins 400?

    That's the one you want. Voltage regulator will have LED lights on it for 12 and 24 volt. My M915A1 came with one of these and AC with the rebuild. Artisan had a good write up about these in his M916 build.

    What is going on with this Flexplate? Out of round and bent? Yikes...

    The flexplate needs to match the engine not the transmission. Internal or external balance of the engine rules here. The flexplate must match the engine. Next it must be bolted to engine correctly. On an external balanced 6.2 diesel the holes must line up on the crank and flexplate. Also when...

    Autozone Discount

    As I have said before I prefer the sealed u-joints. They are stronger and last a lot better for me. I have never had a problem damaging a cap with hydraulic pressure. Sounds like too much grease in caps possibly like Rich said.
