I can make the parade. If there is room, I have a M923a2. Thanks, Scott

I have an Mep - 803a parts unit. I can take a look at it on Tues. PM if you are interested. Scott

The belt goes around the stationary pulley(with duct tape) backwards, everything else spins in the normal direction.

the belt I used is an auto belt 6pk1270 I would say it was 1/2 inch too long. the picture shows the belt and the duct tape around the pulley to tighten belt.

Yes, the temp went up fast, but I was able to get to the side of the road and get it shut down quickly.

I keep it in the truck, I will take a look at it this afternoon.

I had this happen to me last year, stuck on the side of the road 60 miles from home. I measured(using the existing belt) to reroute the belt without the alt. I installed the temporary short belt to turn the water pump, drove home with no issues. The short belt was a little loose at first, so I...

I found the soft top repair on SS. I used a weather strip adhesive to bond the top back to the plastic channel strip, then pop rivet with a small washer backer every 2 1/2 inches. then a little paint to conceal the rivits (still need to paint the wipers)

replaced the wiper blades, slight modification and they work greatalso notice the soft top repair. It came loose this past summer.

Welcome to 5 tons. I have had mine for a couple years now. I could not find wiper blades, auctionaddiction had some blades at the rally that were easy to modify and work great. Enjoy the new ride.

A highway impact fee, although bad in itself on us, would be a fee and not a commercial registration? Commercial registration would greatly impact our insurance and possibly our drivers license class.

I went round and round with this problem, replaced the solenoid no change. Then I replaced bad battery terminals and charged the batteries--problem fixed! Al, if I were you I would go thru the battery system first. Scott

If you know an elevator guy, we use various size cable with rope cores. They all the time are replacing cables. I used to trade old cable to a woodpulp guy for ruff cut hardwood.

Bummer! Oh well, getting ready for the parade, I got some stuff done on the truck that I had been putting off.

http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?140412-fuel-shutoff-solenoid-on-the-cummins-8-3 had the same problem recently. yes you can run without it, use the manual fuel cut off. Scott

Count me in with a M923a2, thanks

The shutoff lever on the 8.3 is spring loaded to the open position. The manual shut of cable pulls to shut down. Simply removing the solenoid will let it run,no need for the set up you had to make on yours. Cool idea though! I was looking to get it back to working as it should.

yep that maybe my problem. I will charge batteries full and see what happens. the solenoid is $250 from cummins dealer Thanks

So I think my fuel cutoff solenoid is going bad. When I engage the starter it will pull itself in, but once the engine starts it drops out. I can hold it in by hand while I start the engine and then it will hold itself in and the truck will stay running as normal. Changing the solenoid is easy...

Yep, that looks right. I just swapped out a 400hz gen for a 60hz. This coming weekend I will be installing the control box you have pictured, I may need to ask "where does this wire go" questions. Good luck with the starting. Scott
