    Cummins 6CTA8.3 Injection Timing

    I'm trying to wrap my head around this and an stuck. A few months ago I attempted to advance the IP timing 6 more degrees(14 total) but after I was done I kept wondering if I retarded the timing by mistake. After driving the truck I didn't notice any more power and my EGT's seem high, like 900...

    2017 SoCal Summer Rally Aug, 4-6 Big Bear California San Bernardino Mtns. camping

    Nice to have met everyone, I had a great time. Other than a rear axle seal leak and the brakes locking up on my 105, the truck ran great. I kept forgetting to take pics but here is what I have. Oh yea, I want a rematch on giant Jenga

    2017 SoCal Summer Rally Aug, 4-6 Big Bear California San Bernardino Mtns. camping

    I'm fixing a few small things this week and will likely head up Friday afternoon. Couple quick questions. 1. Is there any chance of shooting? Just need to know if I should pack a few guns or not. 2. If you look on google maps at Big Pine Flat Family Campground, how far away will...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I know it's ugly, but do you think it will lower egt's and keep the filer minder from going to the red? I just hope I don't catch any birds lol This is just temporary to see if it helps with airflow

    Ownership Costs - Reality

    rtk is right. A big expense for me was purchasing a bunch of replacement parts and keeping them on the truck. A tow back home can cost $1,000 and leaving the truck on the side of the road until its fixed isn't an option for me. Trying to anticipate what's gonna break is tuff

    Naval Air System Command A/M32K-4A

    Any idea if these are safe at high speeds. 65mph? They are cheap and could be useful

    I sued IronPlanet and won

    Doghead, so far yes. I created a backup account in case they shut down my main one. Guyfang, with so many recent complaints, it might end up going this way. 98G, 6 of 1, 1/2 a dozen. Sucks I had to officially file a suit against them but oh well. It all worked out.

    I sued IronPlanet and won

    I guess it depends on what you consider won, but we settled out of court and I got what I asked for. The long and boring. I bid on a civilian truck, won, paid, tried to set up a pickup time and the pickup contact wouldn't call me back. I tried all ways but was unsuccessful and after the...

    M925A2 and M923A2 Tires, Rims, and Lugs

    16.00r20's aren't bad. I got it down to about 40 min each and part of that time was waiting for my compressor to fill. Tightening all the nuts onto the rim 1/2 sucks up a lot of air. Get a really small bottle jack to expand the tire bead, ratchet strap the beadlock into a bean shape and use a...

    mep804a has no output

    Unfortunately I never found out what was wrong. Guyfang was a huge help but in the end I didn't have the time to dig deeper and I sold the unit. The guy who bought it reworks them for the concrete cutting industry and his diagnosis was the gen head was bad.

    Injection pump oil change? Bosch MW

    Ok that makes sense. I added a race oil that's blue to test to see if the oil mixes with the crankcase oil. 74M35A2 check your pm. I need a alternator Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Injection pump oil change? Bosch MW

    When I was turning up the fuel on my IP I noticed the oil was kinda black. I changed the engine oil about 200 miles ago and it still looks amber colored. Does the IP have its own oil? I drained about a 1/2 a quart from the timing pin plug and added a new 1/2 a quart into the 10mm allen plug on...

    I plan on going and bringing my 5 ton and M105 to sleep in. Any plans on shooting at the range? Salty, if you want to caravan together, I am at where the 210 and 57 meet.

    M923a2 8.3 Injection Pump Troubleshooting

    Sorry I can't help but there is no shear pin or key on the IP gear. Its a tapered shaft.

    Turning Radius Question

    That graph isn't consistent. It says a dump truck has a tighter radius than a tractor which was the same wheel

    need 150 mile tow Los Angeles to Ridgecrest, Ca. M932A2

    Call around and get prices. I had my 931 hauled on a landoll and it was $900 to go 45 miles. Insurance is $250 a year, $20 day permit from the DMV and a friend with a CDL to drive might be cheaper.

    GP system glitch with release codes. Am I the only one?

    I appreciate the info and the sincerity. I wish what was in the notes was accurate and true. Fortunately for me, I record all my calls and have emails that will prove a different story than the notes. It seems like dealing with any subsidiary of IP is all good until an issue comes up, then the...

    GP system glitch with release codes. Am I the only one?

    Apparently there isn't anything anybody can do, ever. That's what got us here. When you log into govplanet, ironplanet, truckplant etc, and go to the terms and conditions, section 16 that discusses "Notices" it says that IP is the company to contact. IP and more specifically Randall Berry is...
