    Air ride for bench seat / dual buckets -- need ideas / suggestions

    I picked up some of the GSS "Cobra" MRAP front bucket seats with the integral harnesses to put in my M931. I would like to retain 3-across seating capability, as well as add air-ride to at least the driver and right pass seat. I am pulling the battery box and relocating batteries outside the...

    Best intake to use for 6CTA8.3 external charge air cooler (intercooler) installation?

    That looks like the one profo used and matches the pics of the #3925453 I just bought. Are you going to cut and clock the inlet tube like profo did or make the connection a different way? It seems like turning it about 45° counter-clockwise would work. I also thought about just cutting the 90°...

    Best intake to use for 6CTA8.3 external charge air cooler (intercooler) installation?

    Alright, finally tracked one down. I actually just ordered the Cummins 3354397 China reproduction (plate with large rectangular port, would still need to find or fabricate the matching air tube). About 15 minutes later I got a call from one of the places that I previously called. They found a...

    Best intake to use for 6CTA8.3 external charge air cooler (intercooler) installation?

    Well, turns out I spoke too soon... just got a call back this morning telling me the intake they thought they had (that was listed on the truck parts search) was left in the vehicle when it was crushed a few weeks ago. Nothing else usable comes up on the search Wes gave me, nor on google...

    Best intake to use for 6CTA8.3 external charge air cooler (intercooler) installation?

    So all the leads on that site I had previously exhausted except for one, and I had been trying for several days to reach them and get a quote. Finally heard back today and gave them payment info, hopefully it shows up next week. The style I bought was the one with the round flange pointing...

    Best intake to use for 6CTA8.3 external charge air cooler (intercooler) installation?

    Ok guys thanks for the info and pics. The #3927879 intake tube looks to fit the #3354397 intake plate (2nd style in my 1st post), so if pick up that style plate I now know what OE intake tube fits it: I looked again at the ISC intake plate with the heater grid compared to the stock CTA charge...

    Safety chains when pintle towing with a M931 tractor

    Just curious what the SOP is for attaching the safety chains to the rear of a tractor? I hitched my M105 behind my M931a2 and realized the hooks on the safety chains don't fit over the rear shackles and I don't see anywhere else to attach them. Obviously I can make extensions and adapters to...

    Best intake to use for 6CTA8.3 external charge air cooler (intercooler) installation?

    Thanks Wes. Yes the Cummins #3925453 is what Marty used but I could never find a decent pic of it to see what it looks like. From what I can gather it is similar to the #3922646 (first one I listed) with the intake tube cast as one piece instead of a removable, bolt-on part. I kinda eliminated...

    Best intake to use for 6CTA8.3 external charge air cooler (intercooler) installation?

    I also found this style, presumably for an ISC. It has an integral intake pre-heater so presumably I could eliminate the ether system: The bolt pattern looks the same as the CTA (I know CTA & ISC are closely related but not what the component-level differences are), so presumably this would...

    Best intake to use for 6CTA8.3 external charge air cooler (intercooler) installation?

    These are the pics I've found of the 3922646 intake: This is the top cover I found with the rectangular port, Cummins 3354397 (NEW China castings):

    Best intake to use for 6CTA8.3 external charge air cooler (intercooler) installation?

    So I picked up a couple of the (RG31?) MRAP cooling packs with the aluminum intercooler up front and stacked aluminum radiator / transmission oil cooler. I'm trying to line up the parts to complete this conversion on my M931a2, replacing the liquid-air cooler in the intake. I know others have...

    M1078 DMV HELL

    If you are going to be making a long stop-over in AZ, just title & register it here in the interim. You may also consider buying an AZ "assigned VIN" for it for $5, which should subsequently be acceptable in all states. They will affix a small tag with the "new" assigned VIN in the driver door...
